Day 3 #DairyMonth Recipes

Gluten-Free Penne with Cabot Cheddar, 
Chorizo and Saffron

The saffron and the chorizo lend the pasta that bright orange color of some blue-box pasta we all know and either love or love to hate. If you want to add a little bit of heat to the dish, you can use a spicy chorizo or choose a spicy cheese such as Cabot's Pepper Jack or Hot Habenerno.

Ingredients
  • 1 package gluten-free penne
  • 4 T butter
  • 1/4 C all-purpose gluten-free flour
  • 1/2 C diced organic onion
  • 1/2 C thinly sliced Spanish chorizo (I used a dulce)
  • 2 pinches saffron
  • 2 C milk
  • 2 C cheddar, shredded (I used Cabot's Adirondack's New York Cheddar)
  • freshly ground sea salt
  • freshly ground pepper

Procedure
In a large stockpot, cook pasta according to package directions. Drain well.

While the pasta cooks, melt the butter in a large, flat-bottom pan over medium heat. When the butter has melted and has started to bubble, add in the onions, chorizo, and saffron. Cook until the onions are softened. Whisk in the flour. Cook for 1-2 minutes whisking constantly. Gradually whisk in the milk until no lumps remain. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook milk mixture, whisking frequently, until it thickens and bubbles, approximately 8 minutes.


Remove pan from the heat and, by the handful, stir in the cheese. Once all of the cheese is melted, season with salt and pepper to taste.


Return the sauce pan to the heat and stir in the cooked pasta. Cook for 1-2 minutes over medium-low heat until heated through. To serve, spoon into individual bowls.

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
