Kabak Tatlisi #PumpkinWeek

By

Here we are at the final day of #PumpkinWeek v.2016, hosted by Terri of Love and Confections, where we celebrate our love of the season with an entire week of pumpkin goodies, leading up to National Pumpkin Day. Twenty-one food bloggers have come together to share over eighty recipes with you.

In addition to pumpkin biscotti, cupcakes, and madeleines, we are also sharing savory pumpkin dishes such as hummus, chili, and pumpkin empanadas. Come back every day for #PumpkinWeek recipes. You can also find these great recipes and more on Love and Confections' #PumpkinWeek Pinterest Board!

Once I decided to keep all my offerings savory - and inernational - I looked at pumpkin traditions from all over the globe. On day one I shared Pumpkin Laska, a curry noodle soup with pumpkin from Singapore. On day two, I posted a riff on a Brazilian shrimp stuffed pumpkin using squid instead of Lula na Moraga. On day three, I shared an Afghani pumpkin dish called Kadu Bouranee. Yesterday I posted an easy Portuguese pumpkin soup Sopa de Abóbora.

Here we are at the final pumpkin massacre of the week...


Though this is an international recipe, I did drift from my usual savory bent. This is my take (read "non-traditional") on a traditional Turkish dessert of candied pumpkin. Oh, my!

Typically this is served with walnuts and clotted cream. I used a vanilla scented yogurt and chocolate covered cacao nibs. Remember: non-traditional! But it was a hit...and the perfect way to end #PumpkinWeek.

Ingredients

  • 1 small pumpkin, peeled and cubed
  • 1/2 C organic granulated sugar + 1 T 
  • 1/4 C honey
  • 1 C plain yogurt
  • 1 t pure vanilla extract
  • chocolate covered cacao nibs for garnish (or use any kind of nut)

Procedure
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Place your pumpkin cubes in a large bowl and sprinkle sugar over the pumpkin pieces evenly. Let stand for at least 30 minutes. Pour honey over the pumpkin cubes and stir to coat as evenly as possible.

Spoon the pumpkin into a rimmed baking dish and place in the oven, uncovered. Roast in the oven. Every twenty minutes, spoon the syrup over the pieces until they absorb all the syrup and begin to glisten. It should take about 80 to 90 minutes.

Let the pumpkin dessert cool. While the pumpkin cools, whisk together the yogurt and vanilla.

To serve, scoop the candied pumpkin pieces into individual serving bowls. Spoon yogurt over the top. Garnish with cacao nibs. Enjoy!

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." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

By
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...
