Adding Pizazz with Pickled Blueberries

By

I love surprising details. In jewelry, in clothing, but - especially - in food. I had clipped out an article from Saveur magazine last year titled "The Finishing Touches." It was all about those details and listed some sandwich condiments from around the world that intrigued me. Here's the article online. And here's the recipe I adapted to make the pickled blueberries that Chef Tyler Kord, of No. 7 Sub Shop in New York City, uses for his sandwich of brie, pistachios, and chervil.

1-1/4 C blueberry vinegar
1/4 C organic granulated sugar
1-1/2 lbs organic blueberries
1 t pink Himalaya salt
1 small red onion, peeled and thinly sliced

Mix together in a large bowl and refrigerate overnight...

I used these sweet-tart little morsels on top of some poached salmon.

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!
