The Friday Five for 26 January 2024: Now You're Cooking
1. Do you cook regularly or does someone else cook for you?
My husband cooks most the time. He is WFH so by the time I get home from work dinner is on the table most nights. I probably only cook dinner once or twice a week.
2. Which are you better at making: sweet or savory foods?
Both - things like soups, casseroles, crock pot meals, eggs, scones, breads, desserts, etc.
3. If you had to work as a chef in a restaurant of your choice, which restaurant would best complement your current culinary skills?
Comfort foods
4. What is a cooking tip that you know, but other people generally aren’t aware of?
Don't have one.
5. Do you have a recipe you would like to share?
Yes two Recipes:
Recipe 1:
Pineapple-Super Chili Salsa
1 1/2 cups chopped fresh pineapple
1/2 cup fresh cilantro
2 super chile hot peppers, stemmed and chopped
1/2 cup chopped sweet onion
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Kosher salt
Add the pineapple, cilantro, peppers, onion, lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 cup water to a blender and puree until smooth.
Recipe 2:
Lemon Curd & Banana Stuffed French Toast with Strawberry Topping
I use Home Made Honey Bread to Make French Toast and then Spread with Lemon Curd and Sliced Bananas, then top with Strawberry Sauce
Honey Bread in my bread machine
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon milk
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons butter, melted
3 cups bread flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
Follow bread machine instructions
Strawberry Sauce
1 lb Strawberries, rinsed, hulled and thickly sliced
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 Tbsp lemon juice (from 1/2 Lemon)
In a medium saucepan, combine sliced strawberries, 1/3 cup sugar and 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice. Place over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and simmer 20-23 minutes or until sauce is thickened, stirring occasionally.
