Tangy Balsamic Prunes
Dried prunes simmered in a tangy blend of balsamic vinegar, honey, and fresh ginger, infused with cinnamon stick for warmth. Cooked gently until fruits soak nearly all liquid and plump, soft but intact. Balanced sweet, sour, and spiced profile. Serves as a sweet-savory cheese board companion or condiment. Refrigerates well up to 2 weeks.
Spiced Chickpea Patties
Rustic chickpea and potato patties infused with warm spices and fresh ginger. The potatoes provide body and a creamy base; chickpeas add texture and protein. Toasted mustard seeds release a nutty pop in hot oil. Finished with tangy lemon juice and a crisp yogurt-cucumber topping for contrast. Simple, vegetarian, nut- and egg-free.
Homemade Chicken Vol-au-Vent
A practical, hands-on method to make chicken vol-au-vent using bread-lined muffin molds. Buttered bread crisps up golden in the oven forming crusty cups, a quick fix instead of puff pastry. The creamy filling gets a twist by swapping béchamel's milk for light cream and swapping peas for diced carrots for a subtle sweetness. Chicken diced, simmered into the sauce until thickened and bubbling. Crisp texture with tender filling. Technique-focused, timing adjusted for real kitchens.
