Sea-Salt Lamb Lollipops

By
Because this was such a hit at our Christmas Eve dinner last week, I decided to do it all over again, except this time I added some red pepper flakes to the mix.

Place whole peppercorns - a mixture of white, pink, and black - and Himalayan pink sea salt in a mortar and crush slightly with a pestle. Rub the mixture on a Frenched rack of lamb and let sit for at least 10 minutes before grilling.

Once cooked, slice the rack into separate pieces - with the bone like a lollipop stick - and serve. Just like last week, I served the lamb with Michelle's spiced apple chutney; but I also offered the option of lignonberry jam from Denmark.

Delicious!

    This sounds so good! I just got some Himalayan pink salt, HimalaSalt, and a variety of organic peppercorns from Sustainable Sourcing https://secure.sustainablesourcing.com and I think I'll try them out in this recipe. Thanks for sharing!

    My son has been on a lamb loving kick here lately. Love the idea of calling them lollipops too! Thanks for linking up to Hunk of Meat Monday.

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!

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...
