#HotSummerEats: Garlic Goodness Bean Salad #sponsor

By

Here we are at day two of my Hot Summer Eats event. As promised, I will be sharing a grilled recipe, a non-lettuce salad, and/or a cocktail. So, for the non-salad offering today, here's my recipe for a garlicky bean salad...with a little help from one of our event sponsors: Intensity Academy Gourmet Sauces. Intensity Academy's Garlic Goodness Hot Sauce added the perfect amount of heat and flavor to my bean salad. I use dried beans, but you can certainly speed it up by using canned beans.

Ingredients
  • 1 pound beans (I used dried Moro beans. Click here for how to cook dried beans.)
  • 4 onions, peeled and sliced
  • 1 T butter
  • 1 t local honey
  • juice from 1 organic lemon
  • zest from 1 organic lemon
  • olive oil
  • 1 to 2 T Intensity Academy's Garlic Goodness Hot Sauce
  • 1 T fresh herbs (I used parsley)

Procedure
In a large flat-bottom pan, melt the butter over a low heat. Add the onions and cook, over low heat, until caramelized. Mine took approximately 1 hour. Place the cooked beans in a large mixing bowl. Add in the caramelized onions. Stir in the honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, hot sauce, and herbs. Add enough olive oil to make it glossy. Toss to coat. Serve chilled.


Thanks, Intensity Academy Gourmet Sauces* - just one of our #HotSummerEats sponsors - for ingredients used in this recipe. You can find Intensity Academy: on the web, on facebook, on twitter, on instagram, and on pinterest.


*Full Disclosure: I received a bottle of Garlic Goodness from Intensity Academy for participating in #HotSummerEats. Feel free to use whatever garlicky hot sauce you have on-hand. I received no additional compensation for this post; all comments are 100% accurate and 100% my own.

    Oh my gosh, I am in LOVE with the garlic goodness sauce! I used it in potato salad (sharing later this week) and it blew my mind.

    It's almost like a play on baked beans, but chilled. I'm intrigued!

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...
