Roasted Peach Dip with Berry Wands


For the sweet dip at the Magical Fairy Feast (menu here), I wanted to make use of the abundance of summer stone fruits and picked up some peaches at the farmers' market. I served it in a hollowed out watermelon and served it with berry wands.

Ingredients

Dip

  • 2 to 3 organic ripe peaches, pitted and sliced into wedges
  • 2 C organic sour cream
  • 1/2 t pure vanilla extract
  • 3 T raw local honey
  • 1/2 t ground cinnamon
  • mini watermelon
Wands

  • organic berries, rinsed and dried (I used blackberries, blueberries, and strawberries)
  • organic grapes, rinsed and dried
  • also needed: bamboo skewers

Procedure
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place peaches in a rimmed baking dish. Place them in them in the oven until they begin to caramelize and lose their shape, approximately 35 minutes. While the peaches roast, assemble the wands.

Alternate fruits, pushing them on to the skewers carefully. Slice off the bottom of the watermelon so it sits flat; slice off the top of the watermelon and scoop out the flesh. Set aside

In a small mixing bowl, stir together sour cream, vanilla extract, honey, and cinnamon. Spoon in the roasted peaches and stir to combine.

Just before serving, spoon the dip into the watermelon bowl. Serve alongside your wands.

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

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.

Ki Ngombo = Okra

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!
