Is it a Flafoutis or a Claugnarde?

By

We discussed and debated this morning and just couldn't agree. You can call it a clafoutis if it's made with cherries; if it's made with any other type of fruit, it's a flaugnarde. This was made with a mixture of cherries and wild blueberries. So...what do you think it should be called? Is this a Flafoutis or a Claugnarde?

Whatever you call it, it's dairy-free, gluten-free, and all kinds of delicious.

Ingredients
  • non-dairy butter for greasing the pan
  • 3 C fruits (I used 2 C cherries and 1 C wild blueberries)
  • 4 eggs
  • 3/4 C organic granulated sugar
  • 3/4 C sweet white rice flour
  • 1-1/2 C almond milk
  • 2 T vanilla paste
  • 1 T cherry liqueur
  • powdered sugar for dusting

 Procedure
Preheat the oven to 350F. Butter your baking dish(es). Spoon the fruit into the bottom of the dish(es). Whisk the eggs, sugar, and flour together until smooth. Add the milk. vanilla paste, and liqueur. Whisk until smooth. Pour over the fruit.

Bake for 45-50 minutes or until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. When you pull it put of the oven it will jiggle a bit. That's fine. Place the dish on a wire rack to cool. The Flafoutis/Claugnarde will have puffed up quite a bit during baking and will deflate while cooling. When cooled, dust the Flafoutis/Claugnarde with powdered sugar. Serve at room temperature.

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!
