Pickled Quail Eggs #NationalPickleMonth

By

July is National Pickle Month! And, as we all know, I'm a little pickle obsessed. I have pickled everything from blueberries and pumpkin to radishes and ramps. So, I invited some blogging friends to join me in kicking off the month. Here's the pickle line-up...

Pickled Quail Eggs 

I had received some quail eggs from friends and was excited to pickle them. Another friend said that she had tasted pickled quail eggs recently. I piped up, "I have some quail eggs!" Of course you do, she said.

Ingredients


  • 12 quail eggs
  • 1 shallot, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 C vinegar (I used white vinegar)
  • 1/4 C water
  • 1 T sea salt
  • 1 t organic granulated sugar
  • 1 t dill seeds
  • 1 t red pepper chile flakes
  • sprigs of fresh thyme
  • Also needed: sterile jar with lid

 Procedure

Place quail eggs in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool in the cooking water for 3 minutes. Drain and rinse. When cool enough to handle, peel and set aside.


Place dill and chile flakes in your sterile jar. Layer in sliced shallots, peeled eggs, and fresh thyme.

Combine vinegar, water, salt, and sugar in a sauce pan. Bring to a simmer. Swirl until the sugar and salt is completely dissolved. Pour the hot liquid over the eggs. Cover with a lid, then marinate for at least 24 hours before serving.


I still haven't decided if I will use these on a cheeseboard or as a garnish for some 4th of July Bloody Marys. We'll see. Stay tuned...

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...
