Pan-Seared Nardello & Cantaloupe Salad

By

When I was faced with a bunch of Jimmy Nardello peppers this week in our CSA, I decided to pan-sear them and make them into a salad. Delish!
1 bunch of Jimmy Nardello peppers (approximately 6)
1/2 cantaloupe, peel and thinly sliced
1/2 C chopped flat-leaf parsley
olive oil
balsamic vinegar
freshly ground sea salt
freshly ground pepper

 I did to the Nardellos what I normally do to padròns: pan-sear 'em. They took a little bit longer because they are bigger, but the process is exactly the same.

 After the peppers were softened and blackened, I destemmed and deseeded them. Then I sliced them into strips lengthwise. Place them into a large mixing bowl with the sliced cantaloupe. Toss with olive oil, vinegar. Season with salt and pepper.

 Chill in the fridge for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld. Toss in the parsley and serve.

    How inventive. Every year I say I want to grow these peppers and I never follow through. Next year, I guess.

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."

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.
