Food - Recipes : Traditional honey-glazed gammon. Crispy, Chewy, Gluten-Free: Socca (Chickpea Pancake) Recipe Reviews. Socca is a classic street food from the South of France.
In Nice you'll see street vendors with big smoking grills cooking wafer-thin socca pancakes. They chop them up, piping hot, and give them to you with flurries of salt and pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. When consumed with the ice-cold rosé of the region, it's the taste of Nice. We gave you several good things for appetizers and hors d'ouevres today: stuffed figs, hot brandade, and a delicious cheese. Well, here's one more. I ate socca when in Nice last year and loved the slightly bitter taste of the chickpea flour and the way it shows off the rich olive oils of the area. I didn't expect to make socca at home; it seems to belong exclusively to the south of France.
The recipe was simple enough: you mix up a batter of chickpea flour, water, a little olive oil, a touch of cumin and salt. Well, it was quite a success! Appetizer Recipes: Pink Pepper Goat Cheese Spread & Olives. Previous image Next image We recently harvested and dried a bunch of pink pepper and have been playing with ways to savor this delicately sweet, spicy, and almost citrusy berry.
Here are two bright and festive appetizer recipes that pair pink peppercorns with thyme: a warm, creamy goat cheese spread, and zesty marinated olives. For a quick yet elegant baguette or crostini spread, we drizzled fresh goat cheese with honey, pink pepper, and thyme and baked it until soft and bubbly. The result was a wonderful balance of savory and sweet. Pink peppercorns and thyme also found their way into a batch of marinated olives.

Sangria isn't just for summer.
Thanksgiving is the perfect holiday to stir up a big seasonally-inspired pitcher — perfect for kicking off the holiday season. Oven-Roasted Tomato Jam. Sometimes a recipe arises from a confluence of ideas and inspiration -- a convergence of influence, flavor, and downright craving.
This recipe is one of those. It was inspired by Laurie Colwin's rapturous description of a long-roasted tomato "condiment" she ate to excess at a party. The recipe she received from a waiter was vague at best. We thought we detected hints of it, though, in Elizabeth's stewed cinnamon-spiked tomatoes. So going on a whim and whiff, we went in pursuit of garlicky, long-roasted, soft and smeary tomato jam. Fresh tomatoes going into the oven with plenty of garlic and olive oil. Colwin describes a dish of tomatoes baked for a very, very long time in the oven with a great quantity of garlic and olive oil. Hmm, we thought. The result was heavenly. Chimichurri Sauce Recipes from The Kitchn. Just listen to the word.
Chimichurri. It dances right out of your mouth. I bet you've already paused and said it in your head more times than I've written it. If the word alone feels this good in the mouth, wait until you taste it. Chimichurri is an Argentine sauce that is traditionally used on meats, although I can think of about fifty other ways to eat it. DIY Party Combos.

Of all the Christmas gifts my mom has given me, the one I remember most and the one that is still with me is the tradition of cooking and eating on Christmas, and it is one that I'm now passing down to my daughter.
The original bread recipe included a filling that called for teeth-shattering candied red and green cherries. The past few years I've skipped those in favor of dried cranberries plumped up with brandy. Of course you can use other dried fruits but avoid the kind preserved with sulphur dioxide and sweetened with high fructose corn syrup if you can. In my redux, I also upped the amounts of filling and glaze — the "saucing" as my daughter says.
When you bake this Holiday Breakfast Wreath, present it to someone you love, still warm, with two hands. Holiday Breakfast Wreath with Cranberry-Almond Fillingadapted from Sunset Magazine, December 1978 makes about 12 servings For the Sugar Glaze:1 cup powdered sugar2 tablespoons water1 tablespoon lemon juice1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder.
