Cover coming soonSkillet Apple CrumbleSoft, melty Cosmic Crisp apples under a thick crumble topping that's crunchy, chewy, and full of big clusters. Made start to finish in one 12" cast iron skillet. The apples are softened on the stove before baking; keep the heat at medium or higher, because apples held at low heat firm up. To keep the spice light, leave out the cardamom or cut the cinnamon to ½ tsp. Rewarm leftovers at 350°F for about 15 minutes, and don't store them in the cast iron.Serves 8•ari
Cover coming soonHaradrim Tagine (adapted)Chickpea, eggplant, mushroom and fig tagine with saffron and cinnamon. Adapted from "Haradrim Tagine" in Recipes from the World of Tolkien by Robert Tuesley Anderson (Thunder Bay Press, 2020), p. 134. Changes from the original: cremini instead of button mushrooms and seared separately before going in; olive oil for the aromatics and avocado oil for the eggplant rather than sunflower throughout; saffron bloomed in warm stock; eggplant salted first; pearl couscous toasted in butter instead of the fine couscous the book steams and bakes. Vegetarian.Serves 4•ari

  • Home Oven Pizza Dough (500°F Steel)

    ari cooked this

    Used the final cold-fermented dough to make focaccia in a 9x9 pan instead of pizza. Baked at 450°F for 20-25 min, dimpled with olive oil and flaky salt, pan on the preheated steel for a crisp bottom. Served with homemade hummus and fried onions. Photos to come.

    So good. Made 3 large servings. Mixed the mushrooms in as well as a whole box of chives, and used 1 block of beechers.

    Next time: Nothing. Perfect.
