Wine, Butter, & Herb-Roasted Mushrooms

By
I adore this dish for its simplicity and flexibility. I usually use whatever herbs I need to mirror the flavors of a dish. In this case, I used dried lavender and fresh thyme.


Ingredients
  • 1 lb organic brown crimini mushrooms
  • 4 T butter, cut into small cubes 
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, crushed and minced
  • 1/4 C red wine (I used some Merlot)
  • 2 T balsamic vinegar
  • 1 T fresh thyme, minced
  • 1 T dried organic lavender buds
  • freshly ground salt
  • freshly ground pepper

Procedure
Preheat  oven to 450 degrees F. Brush any dirt from your mushrooms. Place the mushrooms into a rimmed baking dish. Pour in wine and balsamic vinegar. Add in garlic, thyme, and lavender. Toss so that the mushrooms are evenly coated. Lay cubes of butter on top of mushrooms. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once the mushrooms are tender, move to a serving plate and season to taste with salt and pepper.

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.

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!
