RE: Cook with Us #9 - Spicy Mexican Bitterballen with Jalapeño Avocado dipping sauce.

in #cookwithus7 years ago

Thanks so much @foodforsoul! I fully agree with the radishes! I bought a bunch of them for ZAR3, they're so cheap and versatile and people just don't use them! Goes back to your post about the 'Parsnip Controversy' ! In season I pickle them whole and they're amazing, but basically just me eating them unless I chop them up finely and hide them in salads! Funny, nasturtium grows wild here and I love using it as a replacement for rocket because it's prettier, comes with delicious flowers and is absolutely free- you would not believe the amount of convincing I have to do get my friends to eat 'Weeds' . I think maybe a recipe post about undervalued ingredients is in order?

Thanks so much for your always kind words, look forward to your entry! (I snoop around the contest several times a day waiting to see new entries. It's like getting a recipe book one page at a time, love it!)

Since I prefer beef, I will, time permitting try this with beef (I love bacon and ham - but not a lover of pork - crazy I know)
Looks like the winners circle has gone to a lot of trouble with their recipes - you all deserve to win - this is the most difficult week ever with the amazing recipes enteredWhat a lovely idea - we will certainly embrace that @whattheduck - "Recipe post about undervalued ingredients" - love it


If you're going to use beef, I recommend adding a sachet of gelatin to the broth while you're pulling the beef, it's so much more indulgent when that gelatin melts, though adding a little cheese to the beef once cooled wouldn't hurt either!That's awesome @pandamama! So look forward to that! There are so many ingredients people just don't see the value in. Exciting stuff! The entries this week have been amazing, I'm so glad I don't have your job deciding between everyone's posts!
