Earlier this summer, my contact at The Book Club Cookbook emailed, offering me a few new spice blends to participate in their 2020 #BlendsBash. You betcha! Last month I shared a recipe using their smoked tea rub; you can see that in my The Secret Life of Teas Braised Duck Legs.


The second blend I picked was One Hundred Beers of Solitude, a play one the novel by Gabriel García Márquez: One Hundred Years of Solitude. I read that in high school, but haven't since. I might have to pick it up again.

This blend includes: honey, sea salt, citric acid, lemon, grapefruit, lime juice powder, orange juice powder, orange, black pepper, basil, cascade hops. And it was combination of citrus and hops that made me think of seafood. And when I went to the market the day I was making this, the fish monger suggested local-caught lingcod. Done!

Ingredients serves 4

  • 4 lingcod fillets (serving size is approximately 4 to 6 ounces per person)
  • 2 Tablespoons One Hundred Beers of Solitude spice blend*
  • 3/4 cup (1-1/2 sticks) butter, melted
  • Also needed: cast iron skillet or other heavy bottomed pan, fresh lime wedges for serving

*If you don't have the spice blend, use a combination of brown sugar, salt, citrus zest, dried basil, and black pepper.

Procedure

Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat until extremely hot, approximately 8 to 10 minutes. Melt butter in a different pan and pour most of it in a shallow bowl or dish that will hold your fillets one at a time.

Dip each fillet into melted butter, turning once to coat both sides. Sprinkle a generous teaspoon of the spice blend on the fish. Gently pat mixture onto fish. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon melted butter over the fish and place it, spice-side down. Sprinkle another teaspoon of the spice blend onto the fish and let it cook for about 2 minutes until it is nicely charred. Drizzle with another teaspoon of melted butter and flip the fillet. Cook until nicely charred.


Serve with immediately with fresh lime wedges on the side.

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...
