Salmon-Artichoke Cakes with Caramelized Leeks and Kale

By

When a friend pointed out a 'send-us-your-recipe' request from one of our local publications, I had no idea it would lead to this. I dutifully picked out a few artichoke recipes and sent them over.

Within minutes, literally minutes!, I received a reply from the food editor that he would like to do an article on the yummy thistle and showcase a few of my recipes. Great! Gone are the days of waiting for weeks to get a response on a submission.

A few days later he sent an email saying that he had a few questions for me. A few questions turned into a full-blown interview. And a day after that the staff photographer called and wanted to come over and shoot a few photos of an artichoke dish. Ummm...that would be great, but I was out of town; and the evening I returned, he flew out of state. So, he asked if I wouldn't mind sending over a few high-res photos of an artichoke dish. At first I looked through old photos of my recipes. But I had some leftover roasted salmon from Jake's fishing trip and decided to whip up some salmon-artichoke cakes with caramelized leeks and kale.


Ingredients

  • 4 C flaked salmon
  • 1/2 C chopped artichoke hearts
  • 1 leek, diced and caramelized
  • 2 C fresh kale, caramelized (about 1 C when cooked)
  • 1/2 C shredded asiago cheese
  • 1/2 C shredded parmesan cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 C corn flour
  • pink Himalaya salt and flower pepper to taste
  • fresh dill and lemon slices for garnish


 Procedure
Mix everything together in a large bowl. Press palm-sized balls to form patties. Cook in a large flat-bottomed pan, in a pat of butter and a splash of olive oil, until the cakes are nicely browned.

Serve with a sprinkling of fresh dill and a slice of lemon.

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

By
photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few. Ingredients serves 14-16 1 gallon organic whole milk 3 T dried rosebuds - or 2 t rosewater 2 t saffron threads, lightly crushed 3 T ground cinnamon 3 whole tepin chiles, crushed 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 1 C organic granulated sugar 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate Procedure In a large soup pot that can hold a gallon plus, combine milk, dried rosebuds (or rosewater, if you are using that), saffron threads, ground cinnamon, chiles, vanilla beans, and sugar and warm over medium heat till it steams. Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream

By
As we headed inland from the coast, I cringed as the temperature gauge in the car for outside temp climbed into the triple digits. Ugh. I'm a rather wimpy central coastal Californian who begins to wilt when it's 70 degrees outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a planned ice cream stop. When I parked the car outside Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream in Santa Rosa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we still had to get to the campsite...and set up our tents in the heat. But we were going to enjoy the cool, sweet treats from Frozen Art first! Michoacana ice creameries are the equivalent of Starbucks in Mexico; they're ubiquitous. Purists, however, claim that operating a true Michoacana ice cream shop require ties to Tocumbo. It's estimated that almost ninety percent of the Tocumban population is currently employed in the ice cream business from making ice cream itself to making equipment. But the real art of Tocumban ice creams: imaginat...
