Olallieberry Milk Pudding


Another combination of flavors that Dylan concocted during our olallieberry-brainstorm yesterday on the way home from picking olallies = milk + cardamom + olallieberries. So, I came up with an olallieberry milk pudding for breakfast this morning. Super fast and super tasty!

2 C milk
1/4 C organic granulated sugar
3 eggs, beaten
dash of ground cardamom
splash of pure vanilla extract
2 T flour
3 T butter
handful of olallieberries, rinsed, dried, and smashed  + olallies to garnish the individual servings

Heat milk in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Gently bring to boiling, stirring, then turn off heat. Whisk the eggs and milk together over a low to medium heat. Add in the cardamom, vanilla, sugar, flour. Whisk until smooth. Continue whisking until the pudding coats the back of a spoon. Remember it will thicken as it cools. Incorporate the smashed olallies and watch the pudding turn to a pale pink. Stir in the butter until it's completely melted and the pudding is glossy. Serve warm or chill in the fridge for a thicker version. Garnish with fresh olallieberries.

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

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...

Ki Ngombo = Okra

In honor of Mardi Gras, I searched for traditional recipes for gumbo...only to discover that there is no canonical recipe for gumbo. It seems there are as many recipes for gumbo as there are cooks!  The only two constants in a gumbo: variety and okra. The term 'gumbo' likely comes from an African dialect whose word for okra is ki ngombo .  Gumbos can have meat, seafood, just about anything.  In Mark Huntsman's "The History of Gumbo" he refers to written mentions of using muskrat and owl in gumbo recipes.  I embraced the unlimited potential of ingredients and opted for a combination of fish, chicken, pancetta, oysters, mussels, octopus, shrimp, and squid...and lots of okra!
