Soy-Glazed Duck Meatballs #KitchenMatrixCookingProject

By

Here we are with the second post for October in our Kitchen Matrix Cooking Project. You can read more about that here. This month, I picked the recipes and we're going with Meatballs + 4 Ways this week. Bittman suggests Parmesan Meatballs, Pork and Shrimp Meatballs, Chicken Tikka Masala Meatballs, and Spicy Cumin Meatballs.

I very nearly didn't have a post because I didn't plan correctly and we were out of town at a robotics competition this weekend. But I had some ground duck. So, yesterday afternoon, I whipped up some duck meatballs and we served it with "the usual chard." Easy Sunday lunch! I am definitely going to circle back to this matrix and try the pork and shrimp meatballs. They would be delicious in a Vietnamese sandwich!

Here are the other Kitchen Matrix Cooking Project meatballs...




Ingredients
  • 1 C soy sauce
  • 1 C mirin
  • 1/4 C organic dark brown sugar
  • 8 ounces ground duck
  • freshly ground salt
  • freshly ground pepper
  • 1 bunch organic scallions, trimmed and finely chopped
  • 1 T freshly grated ginger
  • oil for frying
  • Also needed: cooked rice, black sesame seeds for garnish



Procedure
In a medium saucepan, bring the soy sauce, mirin, and sugar to a boil. Lower heat to a simmer and cook until the liquid has reduced to a thick sauce, approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let the glaze cool.

In a medium mixing bowl, mix the ground duck with the salt, pepper, scallions, and ginger until well-combined. Form the meat into 10 small meatballs. Heat the oil in skillet and cook the meatballs until they are firm to the touch and nicely browned, approximately 10 minutes. Pour glaze over the top of the meatballs and heat until the sauce is bubbling. Be careful so they don't burn. Turn to coat completely. Serve on a bed of rice - I made a savory coconut sticky rice - with a sprinkling of black sesame seeds as a garnish.

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

By
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

By
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...
