Blog Post & Recipe: The great garlic (e)scape

Blog Post & Recipe: Yucca Dough Empanadas

I never used yucca so it was pretty interesting. I didn't realize at first that there is actually a core in the center that you can't really eat. You need to peel the yucca, then cut around the core and boil for about a half hour. Then just mash it into a dough.

Blog Post & Recipe: Baked chicken in a pie shell

A variation on the chicken-in-a-bread-crust recipe previously linked on this post.

In effect, it’s baking a whole chicken and biscuits to go with it at the same time. Because, yes, after baking, the pie crust dough turns into a biscuit with one side having absorbed the flavors and moistness of the bird. Just cut and tear the crust wrapper as you dig into the chicken.

Blog Post & Recipes: Deep Fried

Pickles? Crumbed and fried? Yes please. A buttermilk dressing was made to accompany it, though I added my own tweaks. Combined, the crunch of the coating giving way to crunchy, tangy dill pickle slices was brilliant. The garlicky buttermilk dressing, with a heavy hand in coriander, made an ideal dipping sauce.
