#10DaysofTailgate: Spiced Kofta with Carrot Karma Yogurt Dip


Because we were getting some much needed rain, my plans to have Jake grill these were foiled. Instead of grilling, I ended up baking them in the oven. They were delicious just the same.


Ingredients
For the Kofta:

  • 1 lb 96/4 organic, grassfed ground beef
  • 1 T parsley, finely chopped (I used some prepped herbs from Gourmet Garden Herbs & Spices*)
  • 1 T cilantro, finely chopped
  • 1 T basil, finely chopped
  • 1 t oregano, finely chopped
  • 1 onion, peeled and finely diced
  • 1 t ground cinnamon
  • 1 t ground coriander
  • 1 t ground cumin
  • freshly ground sea salt
  • freshly ground pepper
  • Carrot Karma Hot Sauce by Intensity Academy* for brushing

For the Yogurt Dip:

  • 1 C plain whole milk yogurt
  • 1 T garlic
  • 1 T herbs
  • 1 T Carrot Karma Hot Sauce by Intensity Academy*

Procedure

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Mix all of the ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Knead until all the herbs and spices are evenly distributed. Roll the meat into finger-sized rolls. Place the rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Roast the kofta for 20 minutes. Brush the kofta with Carrot Karma and return to the oven for another 20 minutes.

While the kofta cooks, whisk together the yogurt dip. Let the kofta cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

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...

Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream

As we headed inland from the coast, I cringed as the temperature gauge in the car for outside temp climbed into the triple digits. Ugh. I'm a rather wimpy central coastal Californian who begins to wilt when it's 70 degrees outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a planned ice cream stop. When I parked the car outside Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream in Santa Rosa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we still had to get to the campsite...and set up our tents in the heat. But we were going to enjoy the cool, sweet treats from Frozen Art first! Michoacana ice creameries are the equivalent of Starbucks in Mexico; they're ubiquitous. Purists, however, claim that operating a true Michoacana ice cream shop require ties to Tocumbo. It's estimated that almost ninety percent of the Tocumban population is currently employed in the ice cream business from making ice cream itself to making equipment. But the real art of Tocumban ice creams: imaginat...
