Beet-Rubbed Leg of Lamb with Spiced Beet-Apple Chutney

By
I wanted to have Jake grill lamb lollipops to serve with my Spiced Beet-Apple Chutney, but the weather was not cooperating and my husband flat out said, "nope, I am not grilling in the rain." On to Plan B: a roasted leg of lamb, rubbed with a minced garlic-shredded beet-oregano-ancho chil powder mixture.

I rubbed the leg of lamb with the mix above and let it marinate for four hours in the refrigerator.  Then I let it come to room temperature while I heated the oven. 

Never having roasted a leg of lamb, I did some reading and decided to try the sear-slow roast method.  So it went into the oven at 450 degrees for 30 minutes.  Then I reduced the heat to 350 degrees and cooked it for an additional 15 minutes per pound.  It was a four pound roast, so it was another hour or so.

Then I pulled it out of the oven and let it rest before carving.  I served it sliced with sauteed beet greens and the chutney.

    This looks fantastic! Can't wait to try it on some lamb I have in the freezer. Thanks for linking up to HOMM!

    Wow... I love lamb but either usually use orange juice marinade, or mint jelly. What a great idea, thanks!

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...
