Ridiculously Delicious Challenge Stage 2
Getting a box of mystery ingredients and a week to come up with an original recipe using two of those ingredients felt a little bit like I would imagine it would feel to be on an episode of Choppped!! After reading up on all of the ingredients I settled on the Juniper Berries and Szechuan Peppercorns as my two ingredients and used them to make Poached Salmon. After sending Greg out to get the Salmon I started by gathering up the rest of my ingredients: dry white wine (with equal part water), shallots, garlic, parsley, dill and the Marx Foods Juniper Berries and Szechuan Peppercorns.
I brought the wine and seasonings to a simmer in a non-stick skillet.
Then added the Salmon fillets, covered the pan and let them cook for 5 minutes.
While the fillets were cooking I ground up some of the remaining Szechuan Peppercorns to sprinkle on top of the fish.
While making the fish I also had some Brussels sprouts roasting in the oven and fried some mashed cauliflower croquettes to complete the meal.
According to the family the meal was a success!!! Now since this is a challenge and I would love to be one of the 15 people to move on to the next round I hope you stay tuned for a reminder to vote on the Marx Foods blog from March 1 though March 4.
