SRC Reveal: BCMom's Kitchen

By

It's the first Monday of the month which means one thing: Secret Recipe Club reveal for Group A. This month I was assigned to BCMom's Kitchen. Meet Anna who writes: "There's nothing like a home-cooked meal! In this age of fast food and busy schedules, it seems almost a thing of the past." She has worked to find recipes which are not only good, but easy and encourages her readers to get cooking!

 Taking her 'easy' mantra to heart, I picked her recipe for a Cream Cheese Pesto Dip because I had blocks of cream cheese in the fridge from a cheesecake I didn't make for my husband's birthday - I made a Rhubarb Galette instead - and some leftover dandelion pesto - from a cookbook review I did of Miche Baker's Cooking with Flowers: Sweet and Savory Recipes with Rose Petals, Lilacs, Lavender, and Other Edible Flowers.

Cream cheese
Minced garlic
dandelion pesto (or whatever pesto you have on-hand)
Feta (I forgot to add this)
Diced tomatoes
Lemon Zest

Layer all ingredients. No measurements, just whatever looks good to you. I skipped the feta inadvertently and added lemon zest just before serving.

Warm in the oven for approximately 10-15 minutes at 350°. Serve with slices of bread or crackers. Delicious and easy!

    Use goat cheese instead of the cream cheese, and I'd be tempted to not share...

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

By
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}

By
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
