  • Lotus Root Pizza

    Lotus Root Pizza

    I have a plethora of chametez in my refrigerator, including phyllo dough, ramen noodles and the standard package of “skinny bread.”

    I also have a package of pita bread in my refrigerator. However, I’m not in the mood for pita pockets. What else can I do with these things?!

    Inspired by photo posted on twitter by JLandKev, aka Busan Kevin of a small personal size pizza with a smear of tomato sauce and topped with sliced lotus root and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese, I saved this recipe idea “for such a time as this” and decided to make a pre-Passover version for myself.

    Lotus root doesn’t taste like much but it’s a decent source of B vitamins, vitamin C and  high in fiber.

  • Chocolate Gochujang Biscotti

     

    Just in time for Valentine’s Day, here is an easy kick for your chocolate biscotti.  They look ever so innocent with the dark chocolate color and hazelnut bits, but a subtle kick after a second or two will let you know things get more interesting here.  While the pairing of hot chili and chocolate seems no longer exotic or strange with spicy chocolate truffles and hot chocolate mixes spiced with chili powder in chocolate shops, the little impact of gochujang (고추장; Korean hot pepper paste) in chocolate still comes unexpected at home.

    This biscotti recipe is adapted from a collection of biscotti recipes @ www.joyofbaking.com/biscotti.
