Iron Chef Morimoto
It’s Battle Cranberry!
Over the last four weeks, I’ve learned a lot in my online recipe writing class, taught by Chef Anthony Hoy Fong. Our last assignment is reminiscent of Iron Chef. I’ve watched many a battle in Kitchen Stadium from the comfort of my couch, chuckling as I see the chefs scrambling to get ingredients to make their original dishes with the chosen ingredient.
Now it’s my turn. Assignment: Make three dishes with cranberries, fresh, frozen, or dried. I’ve enjoyed stuffing with cranberries at Thanksgiving, and a cranberry pineapple relish at the same table. One of my family’s favorite uses of cranberries is the cranberry applesauce I made a couple months ago. So, I’ll be using that recipe for one of my three I turn in to the teacher.
But I must figure out what else to make with cranberries. Because cranberries have such a strong, distinct taste, it’s a little harder to think of what to make. I don’t want to overwhelm anyone’s palate! What do you suggest?
