Chipotle-Roasted Veggie Polenta Bowl with Truffled Eggs #FreshTastyValentines #sponsor #giveaway



This is a fantastic, hearty breakfast for your Valentine. And while I make some version of this at least once a month, this was the first time I used something other than olive oil to roast my veggies...and the first time I shaved black truffles on the top of the eggs.

Thanks to Fresh Tasty Valentines sponsor T.Lish Dressings, my veggies had a hint of chipotle. I used some broccolini from Mann Packingstirred some Gourmet Garden Herbs & Spices into the polenta, and topped it all with an egg and thin shavings of black truffle. Delectable and perfectly decadent for a special breakfast or brunch entree!

Ingredients

Roasted Veggies

  • delicata squash, halved, deseeded, and sliced
  • butternut squash, peeled and cubed
  • sweet potatoes, cubed
  • fennel, trimmed and sliced
  • broccolini from Mann Packing
  • Chipotle Vinaigrette & Marinade from T.Lish Dressings

Polenta

  • 2 C polenta
  • 3 C warm chicken stock
  • 3 C warm water
  • 2 T olive oil
  • 2 T lightly dried parsley from Gourmet Garden
  • 2 T lightly dried basil from Gourmet Garden
  • 1/2 C shredded parmesan cheese

Topping

  • eggs, boiled to your preference
  • black truffles
  • fresh chopped parsley
  • freshly ground salt
  • freshly ground pepper


Procedure

Roasted Veggies
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Place the delicata squash, butternut squash, sweet potatoes, and fennel in a large mixing bowl.


Pour in enough Chipotle Vinaigrette & Marinade from T.Lish Dressings to coat everything. Toss and turn out onto a parchment lined sheet in a single layer.


Slice the broccolini into 2" length and toss to coat with Chipotle Vinaigrette & Marinade. Turn the broccolini onto a parchment-lined sheet in a single layer.



Roast for 30 to 35 minutes, until the broccoloini is fork tender and the squash is nicely caramelized. Set aside until you're ready to plate.


Polenta
Butter a baking dish and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Mix all of the ingredients - except the herbs and cheese - together in a large mixing bowl. Then spoon everything into the baking dish. Bake for an hour, but stir it every twenty minutes. When it's finished, add herbs and cheese. Stir that together until the cheese is completely incorporated.

To Serve
Spoon the roasted veggies onto a plate. Scoop the polenta on top and lay a few more veggies on top. Peel and halve your eggs. Place them on top of the polenta. Shave black truffle slices on top of the egg and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve immediately. Che squisito!

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

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
