SRC Orphan Rescue: Sid's Sea Palm Cooking

Every now and then, somehow, there are some bloggers whose Secret Recipe Club partners flake out and don't cook or post. It's a horrible feeling to be left out, so when that happens, the group organizers put a call out for some quick cooking. I was happy to step-in today and help make sure that Sid's Sea Palm Cooking was no longer an orphan. Sid is a prolific blogger, writing the kitchen blog, maintaining Sea Palm Treasures for photographs, and filling Flying Fluglehoffers and Tiddlywinks with rants and raves.

As I didn't have a month to peruse and explore the kitchen blog, I was excited to see a Danish Dishes sub-header. That made my choice simple. In my family's cooking around the world adventure, in honor of two of my best friends, we spent a week making Danish dishes.

Brunede Kartofler
And though we whipped up Smørrebrød (Open-Face Sandwiches), Ã˜llebrødspulver (Rye Porridge), Stegt Flæsk Med Persillesov (Roasted Pork with Parsley Sauce), and Abrikossuppe (Apricot Soup), Riley has been asking for a repeat of the Brunede Kartofler (Sugar Browned Potatoes). Sid's list of Danish recipes provided me some new dishes with which to pair those caramel-covered tubers.

So, to honor OxFam's World Food Day, we're going to eat something international and talk about where our food comes from, who cultivates it, and how we can make choices to make the food system more just and sustainable. We do that everyday, really, but it's nice to know that other households will be doing the same thing around their tables tonight.


I decided on Frikadeller (Danish Meatballs) and BlomkÃ¥l med Urter (Cauliflower with Herbs)...with the Brunede Kartofler! Like Sid, I am not as accurate as I could be in my cooking measurements; I go by how it should look and feel. But I try...it's hard to blog a recipe without measurements. So, here goes.

Frikadeller
Adapted from Sid's Sea Palm Cooking

1 pound lean ground pork
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1 egg
1/4 C white whole wheat flour
1 T fresh, chopped dill
1/4 C milk
salt and pepper to taste
butter and olive oil for trying






Saute onions until they are translcent. Blend all of the meatball ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. I don't have a Kitchenaid, so I use my Kitchenelves, Riley and Dylan. They're good sports. Pan-fry in a mixture of butter and olive oil. In Sid's photos, these weren't shaped like ball; they were more like little boats. I went with that.

  3. Both of those things sound so good and so easy. And thanks for coming to the rescue. The person who had me didn't post until Tuesday, so I know the disappointing feeling of looking for your selection and not being able to find it.

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce

Aloo Tiki {Pakistan}

To start off our Pakistani culinary adventure, I started us off with aloo tiki - potato cutlets. I'm always game for tasty street food. I found a couple of different recipes and incorporated those together for this version. Ingredients 6-8 small red potatoes, scrubbed 1 T cumin seeds 1 T fresh chopped parsley 1/2 t ground coriander 1 t minced garlic Procedure Boil the potatoes until they are tender. Drain and let cool. Mash the potatoes. Traditionally they are mashed without their skins. I left the skins on. In a small pan, toast the cumin seeds on high heat until the begin to give off an aroma and begin to darken. Remove from heat and transfer to a plate to keep them from cooking any more. Blend all of the spices into the mashed potatoes, then shape into small patties. If you wet your hands, the potato mixture won't stick to them. Heat a splash of oil in a large, flat-bottom pan. Dip each patty into beaten egg and carefully place in the oil. P
