I made a great one that got rave review at a holiday party last year. Tonight I did a seat-of-the-pants version with what I had on hand. It was tasty and colorless, crispy and had a lingering cruciferous vegetable smell. There’s a lot left so I’ll have to punt tomorrow to make something new out of leftovers. Jim, my husband, hates leftovers.
I used cauliflower and potato. But the other day I creamed pearl onions (the ones you hate to peel, to delight to find them frozen and already peeled) by sauteeing them in a little butter, then adding chicken stock. They still needed to cook through so I alternated a bit of stock and cream as needed. I did put the bag of onions out for an hour or two to get to room temp before starting.
They were very tasty with some thyme, salt and pepper. I actually put a few on top of a homemade burger last night. Anyway, it’s cold out here, no snow, sorry to say, but it will come. We’re all hoping and praying for it! We still grill out whenever we want. Mostly short-term things so there is less of getting on jackets and hats and gloves….
If there are any recipes you’d like or any you want to share, please ask or write in. Thanks and happy holidays! Dee
