Cranberry Gremolata #CranberryWeek


#CranberryWeek continues! Thanks to Caroline of Caroline's Cooking for hosting. I love using fresh cranberries whenever I can get them. See all the other recipes being shared today as part of Cranberry week - follow #cranberryweek for all the tasty cranberry creations:


My Cranberry Gremolata was inspired by the Italian condiment that is traditionally made with lemon zest, parsley, and garlic. Use this on your favorite osso buco or as a fresh, tart relish on anything you wish!

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup whole, raw hazelnuts
  • 1/4 cup whole, raw pecans
  • 3/4 cup fresh cranberries
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley
  • zest from 1 organic lemon
  • juice from 1 organic lemon
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • freshly ground salt
  • freshly ground pepper

Procedure 
Place the nuts, cranberries, parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice, and sesame oil in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until desired texture. I prefer mine more chunky. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.

  1. I love the cranberry gremolata idea - I'm sure it has much the same effect, but is that bit more festive!

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...

Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream

As we headed inland from the coast, I cringed as the temperature gauge in the car for outside temp climbed into the triple digits. Ugh. I'm a rather wimpy central coastal Californian who begins to wilt when it's 70 degrees outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a planned ice cream stop. When I parked the car outside Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream in Santa Rosa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we still had to get to the campsite...and set up our tents in the heat. But we were going to enjoy the cool, sweet treats from Frozen Art first! Michoacana ice creameries are the equivalent of Starbucks in Mexico; they're ubiquitous. Purists, however, claim that operating a true Michoacana ice cream shop require ties to Tocumbo. It's estimated that almost ninety percent of the Tocumban population is currently employed in the ice cream business from making ice cream itself to making equipment. But the real art of Tocumban ice creams: imaginat...
