Tutmanik (Bulgarian Cheese Bread)

By
Very similar to a scone, this bread was surprisingly flavorful albeit on the salty side. And I loved how quickly it came together. For a more traditional take on this bread, sprinkle the bread with caraway seeds before baking; I, unfortunately, didn't have any. Next time...

1 C organic European-style yogurt (thick)
2 Eggs
1/4 C olive oil
6 oz crumbled feta cheese
2 C white whole wheat flour
1 t baking powder
1/2 t Hungarian paprika

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In large mixing bowl, place yogurt, eggs, oil, and feta. Gently stir in flour and baking powder, stirring until just moistened. Pour into a well-greased baking dish. Lightly sprinkle with paprika. Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

I served this with bowls full of Vipava Corba (Bulgarian Cabbage Soup).

    Yum, this sounds like a great, moist little flat bread - and it almost looks like a scone sitting there. I may have to try this one...especially with a bowl of Cabbage Soup =). Thanks for sharing it w/ BYOB this month, Camilla!

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...

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!
