Roasted Rhubarb Scones

By

Ingredients
  • 2 ½ C flour (I refrained from using whole wheat)
  • ½ C ground almonds*
  • ½ C organic raw turbinado sugar + more for sprinkling
  • ½ t baking soda
  • 1 t baking powder
  • 8 T cold butter, cut into small pieces
  • 2/3 C heavy organic cream
  • 1 egg
  • 1 C Agrodolce Roasted Rhubarb
  • 1 T cream
*This is more dry ingredients than I use in typcial scones. However, the rhubarb added a lot of moisture to the recipe.

Procedure
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, ground almonds, sugar, baking soda and baking powder. Using a pastry cutter, blend the butter into the dry ingredients until the dough resembles pea-sized chunks. Add the roasted rhubarb, cream and butter.


Use a spatula or wooden spoon to form a ball. Transfer to a floured surface and gently press into a disc. Slice into wedges, sprinkle the top with sugar, then drizzle a tablespoon of cream on the tops of the scones.


Bake at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes. The scone will be nicely raised and slightly golden. Remove the scones from the oven and set them on a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.

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.

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!
