Strawberry-Passionfruit Pavlova

By

Okay, I'm a little Pavlova-obsessed right now. That texture! That crisp outside! That gooey inside! I love it. Last night I did mini meringues for a Passionfruit Pavlova with Vanilla Ice Cream. This morning, I used a large meringue to make a sweet brunch treat...


Meringue

  • 6 organic large egg whites
  • pinch fleur de sel
  • 1 t white vinegar
  • 3/4 C organic granulated sugar
  • 1 T cornstarch

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Combine egg whites, salt, and white vinegar together in a large mixing bowl and beat on high speed until soft peaks form. Combine the sugar and cornstarch together in a small bowl and add to the egg whites in thirds, whisking each addition in completely. Beat until stiff peaks form.


Line a baking pan with parchment paper and spoon the meringue into the pan, using a spoon to spread it to the edges. Bake for 15 minutes, lower the heat to 200°F, and bake for another 90 minutes. Turn off the heat and cool the meringues in the oven with the door propped open.

Pavlova


To assemble, lay your meringue on a serving platter. Smear it with curd. Top it with unsweetened whipped cream. Lay sliced strawberries on top. Dust with powdered sugar.

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...

Ki Ngombo = Okra

By
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!
