Spicy Miso Chicken

By


First a thank you. When my friend Belle told me that she'd bring me a bottle of her homemade hot sauce, I had no idea how amazing it was. It's deliciously hot, but with an incredible amount of flavor along with that heat.

Friends came over after we chopped down our Christmas trees and they were pouring it on everything from cheese - making their own Pepper Jack - to gingerbread. Okay, that was a little odd.

But I have been using it in a spicy miso marinade that sings. I've made this three times this week!

Ingredients serves 6

  • 6 bone-in chicken thighs
  • 1 T yellow miso paste
  • 1 T hot sauce (I used Belle's homemade hot sauce)
  • 1 T soy sauce
  • 2 T olive oil
  • juice from 1 organic lemon

Procedure
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place the chicken in a baking dish so that they lay flat without overlapping. Whisk the remaining ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Pour the sauce over the chicken, spreading it with your fingers to make sure the chicken is well coated.

Bake uncovered for 55 minutes, or until the thighs are well browned and cooked through. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.


Thanks, Belle, for the sauce. It's beyond delicious!

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!
