Pumpkin-Poblano Salsa

This is a simple, seasonal condiment that's smoky, spicy, and savory. I love putting apples and pumpkins together. Those just say 'Autumn' to me!

Ingredients

  • 2 organic poblano peppers, sliced (approximately 1 C)
  • 1 mini sugar pumpkin or 2 super minis, peeled and cubed (approximately 4 C)
  • 2 apples, cored, peeled, and diced (approximately 1 to 2 C)
  • 3 shallots, peeled and thinly sliced
  • olive oil
  • 1 C water + more as needed
  • 1/2 C vinegar (I used an apple cider vinegar)
  • 2 T yuzu juice or freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 t smoked paprika
  • freshly ground salt
  • freshly ground pepper


Procedure
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Roll the cubed pumpkin and diced apples in a splash of olive oil. Roast until pumpkin is caramelized, approximately 40 to 50 minutes.

In a large flat-bottom pan, brown shallots and peppers in a splash of olive oil. Add the apples and pumpkin, 1 C water, 1/2 C vinegar and bring to a simmer. Pour in 2 T yuzu juice and more water if needed. Continue cooking until the pumpkin begins to lose its shape. Then stir in 2 t smoked paprika and season with freshly ground salt and pepper o taste. Spoon into sterilized jars and process in a water bath.

  2. I can never wait to see which recipes you've come up with and chosen to share - this looks out of my spice comfort level, but love the combination of flavors and ingredients!

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
