A couple of Andrew Zimmern's recipes to try

[JP Z]

I'm thinking this mayo would be AMAZING if you smoked the peppers, onion and tomato ahead.  So basically you would skip step 1, or change it.

 

• 2 cups mayonnaise
• 1 sweet onion
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 head of garlic, roasted
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 2 roma tomatoes
• 1/4 cup minced cilantro

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Remove the skin on the onions, leaving the root end in tact. Cut into quarters through the root.

Place onion, pepper, head of garlic and tomatoes in a mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Mix thoroughly and place on a baking sheet.

Roast at 350 degrees until the vegetables are slightly charred, approximately 30 minutes. Remove and peel the peppers and tomato.

Remove the stem of the onion. Remove the roasted cloves of garlic; they should be soft, sticky and sweet.

Place all of the ingredients except the mayonnaise in a food processor. Blend thoroughly until smooth. Fold in the mayonnaise. Adjust seasonings as required.

Use the vegetable mayonnaise as a sandwich spread or as a dip with fresh vegetables.

 

 

And lastly his Brown Grain Mustard

Grain Mustard

• 1  1/4 cups brown mustard seeds
• 1  1/4 cups yellow mustard seeds
• 3  3/4 cups malt vinegar
• 5 cups dark beer (dopplebock)
• 2 cups brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
• 2  1/2 cups dry ground mustard

 

You can cut this recipe in quarters if you like, but I suggest making the whole batch and giving away a few jars.

 

In a medium bowl, combine the brown and yellow mustard seeds with the vinegar and 3/4 of the beer. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

In a medium saucepan, combine the remaining beer with brown sugar, salt, allspice and turmeric and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat, transfer to a blender and let cool. Add the ground mustard and the mustard seeds with their soaking liquid to the blender and puree.

Transfer the mustard to glass jars. Cover and refrigerate overnight before serving.

Recent have been taking the more time it takes in  roasting veggies.  ..and wow, it really adds a ton of flavor. Think that Mayo  would be awesome on a BLT or other sammies......
