Almendrado (Almond Sauce)

By
Encarnacion Pinedo includes a recipe for Almendrado, almond sauce, in her cookbook, suggesting it's a perfect complement to either roasted birds or meat. Sounded like a perfect accompaniment for my marinated, grilled quail. I made a few adjustments to include my prized chardonnay molasses, but, for the most part, I stayed true to her sauce.

caramelized onions and fennel
oregano
ground almonds
ground cloves
ground cinnamon
ground ginger
ground nutmeg
capers
red wine
chicken broth
balsamic vinegar
chardonnay molasses
raw turbinado sugar

Mix all of the ingredients in a large, flat-bottomed pan. Let the sauce thicken before serving with cooked poultry or meats. Can't wait to serve this tomorrow for our Thanksgiving feast!

    Hello,

    Can you please email me back and let me know how much of each ingredient get's all mixed together, it does not specify in this section at all. I was going to email you directly to find out, but I could not find anyway to contact on your blog, so I am leaving the message here in your comment section. I would really appreciate it if you would email me with further information regarding this recipe. Thanks, Karen

    @Karen, You didn't leave me your email address, so hopefully you'll check back here. There were no proportions in the book I was working from and, also, I didn't measure as I was making it myself. I just sort of mixed everything together until it was the consistency that I wanted. I would guess that I used 1/2 C of broth and 1/2 C of red wine. 2 T of both the molasses and vinegar. Hope that helps.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

By
Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting  Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of  All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island. But, as enter our eleventh week of being sheltered in place to flatten the curve of the coronavirus, all of our summer plans were canceled, including this long-planned graduation trip to Hawaii. Boo. I understand the need to self-isolate. And we are abiding by the social distancing guidelines put in place by our state. But, boo, nonetheless. Oahu, October 2017 So for this month's Food'N'Flix, I chose to open up the field and let all of the food bloggers take a (virtual) Hawaiian holiday.  My boys have been to Oahu several times with my parents in recent years as my dad grew up there and wanted to spend some time on the island with his grandsons.
