Food Matters Project: Chocolate-Cherry Panini

By



I'm a little late to the Food Matters Project  party this week. Sorry. Fathers' Day and all that.

Margarita from Let's Cook and Be Friends picked our recipe this week. Click here to read her take on the dish: a chocolate-cherry pancake sandwich and a chocolate-cherry panino. And click here to see what the other creative cookers whipped up (look in the comments section).

After a five stop walking food tour, we definitely didn't need anything else to eat tonight, but after putting the boys to bed, I decided Jake and I could have one more dessert, my version of the chocolate-cherry panini...with some Cognac.


thinly sliced bread, I used an Italian ciabatta
shaved dark chocolate
pitted fresh cherries
butter
ground cardamom

Butter the bread sliced on the "outside." Layer the bread, chocolate, and cherries in a heated pan. Sprinkle with a dash of cardamom. Top with another slice of bread and press down with a pot lid. When the chocolate is softened and the bread crisped, flip over. Press down again with a pot lid until the other side is equally browned. Serve with a side of fresh cherries and a glass of cognac.

    the use of ground cardamon is different, i bet it took the panini to a whole 'nother level.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...

Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting  Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of  All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island. But, as enter our eleventh week of being sheltered in place to flatten the curve of the coronavirus, all of our summer plans were canceled, including this long-planned graduation trip to Hawaii. Boo. I understand the need to self-isolate. And we are abiding by the social distancing guidelines put in place by our state. But, boo, nonetheless. Oahu, October 2017 So for this month's Food'N'Flix, I chose to open up the field and let all of the food bloggers take a (virtual) Hawaiian holiday.  My boys have been to Oahu several times with my parents in recent years as my dad grew up there and wanted to spend some time on the island with his grandsons.
