Banana-Blueberry Crisp

By


My Food Matters Project creation this week - Lemon-Blueberry Crisp -was such a hit that I opted to make a variation for dessert tonight. I had some blueberries and a few bananas that were on the verge of being banana bread-worthy. Is this distinct enough to be it's own recipe? Probably not. Oh, well...

6 T butter, softened, plus more for greasing the pan
3 C organic, fresh blueberries
2 sliced bananas
½ C sliced almonds
½ C organic, dark brown sugar
½ C white whole wheat flour
½ C ground almonds
½ t ground nutmeg
1/2 t ground cinnamon

Butter your baking dish and preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Dust your blueberries in 1 T of flour so that your crisp won't be too watery. Lay them in your dish. Lay sliced bananas on top of the berries.

In a large mixing bowl blend the butter, brown sugar, ground almonds, and spices with a pastry blender to form pea-sized chunks. Add in the sliced almonds. Spoon the mixture over the berries and bananas and bake for 35-40 minutes...until the berries are soft and bubbling. Serve warm.

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!
