Garlic Ice Cream

I think that I may regret getting him this book...


He's had the book for awhile. But he pulled it off the shelf this week and asked if I could take him to Whole Foods to get the ingredients. Okey dokey. I've never had garlic ice cream. This will be an adventure! He did adapt the original recipe a bit since he doesn't like his ice cream too sweet. I won't argue with that.


Ingredients
  • 2 C organic whole milk
  • 1 vanilla bean
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 1 C organic sugar
  • 1 C organic heavy cream
  • 8 egg yolks

Procedure
Thinly slice the peeled clove of garlic. And scrape the seeds out of the vanilla pod.



 Separate the eggs. Reserve the egg whites for something else. Place the 8 yolks in a large mixing bowl.


In a medium sauce pan, place the milk, garlic, and vanilla seeds and pod. Bring the milk to a boil. Remove from heat immediately. Add the sugar and heavy cream to the egg yolks. Whisk to combine.


Strain the milk mixture into the egg yolks and pour into a large pot.


Stirring constantly, cook the milk-egg yolk mixture over low heat until it coats the back of a spoon. It took us about 20 minutes. You can chill this mixture over an ice bath to churn immediately. We opted to chill, refrigerate, and churn the following evening.


Churn ice cream according to your machine's specs. Spoon into a container and freeze for another 45 minutes to an hour before serving.


The moment of truth...


Jake only took one whiff and barely a lick. The boys and I finished our servings. But, I have to admit - it was not something I would want to make again...and I adore garlic. And the verdict: "Bizarre, but good."

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
