So much for work …
I rolled out of bed late this morning hoping to get some cooking done and work in the afternoon. No such luck. I got consumed with cooking - about five hours =) Yup, it was one of those days. I wish I had this much time to play with more often; I really do miss putting together something new and nice once in a while. What was on the menu this time? Pancakes with Leek, Chicory and Squash Stuffing =D
I made way too much. The filling consisted of butternut squash, leeks, Belgian endive heads, goat’s cheese, walnuts, and parsley - oh and some chili powder to kick it up a notch. The corn meal pancakes were an adventure - had some fun flipping them in the pan =) Put it all together, drizzle some olive oil on top and a healthy portion of Parmesan, toss it in the oven for 15 and you’ve got a meal. Anyway, I had enough filling and pancakes to make 18 servings - good thing I had some mouths to fill today.
Andra thought they were great and even James, who is somewhat opposed to Vegetarian food, was pleased as well (I’m sure you’re reading this and will deny it profusely). I’d say everything came together quite nicely. I wonder what will be next … either way, I’m going out to try some Ethiopian food sometime soon =)
