Grilled Mushroom Skewers #HolidaySideDishes

By

This week Heather of Hezzi-D's Books and Cooks rounded up a group of bloggers to share holiday side dish recipes. I completely blitzed on getting my Monday post done as we were gone all weekend at a robotics competition. But I was determined to finish my other two. Before I get to that, however, please check out the other recipes for the day...

Grilled Mushroom Skewers

I had visions of doing this on the grill - hence the recipe title - but when it came down to it, Jake didn't have time to start the grill and I was reluctant to do it myself with only a few mushroom skewers to grill. So, I opted for Plancha-Grilled Mushrooms. A plancha is a griddle; I use mine over a flame though, so it feel like grilling.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound brown crimini mushrooms
  • 1/4 C olive oil
  • 1/4 C freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 t organic dark brown sugar
  • 1 t freshly ground salt
  • 1/4 t freshly ground pepper
  • pinch of cayenne pepper
  • 1-2 garlic cloves, peeled and pressed
  • 1 T balsamic vinegar (I used an aged balsamic)
  • Also needed: bamboo skewers, soaked for at least 10 minutes; plancha or grill


Procedure
Place all of the marinade ingredients in mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Place the washed and dried mushrooms in the liquid and toss to coat. Let the mushrooms marinate for 15 minutes, then turn them over and let marinate an additional 15 minutes. Heat the grill or plancha.

Skewer the mushrooms snugly onto the bamboo/wooden skewers that have been soaked. Several of mine cracked, so I need to figure that part out, but Jake told me I needed to skewer though the stem...not the way I did it. Whoops!

Place the skewered mushrooms on the hot plancha for about 3 minutes per side. Serve immediately or tent with foil to keep warm before serving.

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...
