Paper Chef #17
Paper Chef #17
In response to an e-mail query, Owen, the founder and guiding light of Paper Chef is still, "…so completely swamped it isn't funny" -- meaning there would be no Paper Chef this month either. Foolishly, I volunteered to manage it for a while.
I'm going to stick with the original schedule, which means there's not much time. If you're unfamiliar with the event check out Paper Chef FAQ, details, past winners, newbies, etc..
Fortunately, I have the list of nominated but un-used ingredients from previous events and, as in the past, new nominations can be made here. Three ingredients will be chosen at random from the final list and I will name a fourth ingredient when I post the final list around noon EST on Friday(05/05). Because this is kind of last-minute, we'll extend the deadline for submissions through Tuesday(05/08) at 10:00am.
Here's the current list of nominated ingredients:
Something derived from a goat (meat, milk, cheese, yoghurt, butter, etc)
Rocket (arugula)
Macadamia nuts
Pomegranate molasses
Hot bean paste
Chestnuts
Grits
Ham
Miso
Simple syrup
Veal scallopine
Chocolate
Lemons
Pomegranates
Flowers
Cinnamon
Lavender
Broccoli raab
Lemongrass
Coffee
Ground coriander
A spikey plant like cactus (nopales!) or nettles
According to the guidelines, older ingredients fall off the list, but I wasn't about to go back through all the old Paper Chefs and figure out what was an "older ingredient," so I randomly eliminated six items from the list as well as the ingredients that were used in the last event.
So. Let's see if we can get The Paper Chef going again. Post your ingredient nominations below, check back here Friday afternoon (05/05), and spread the word.

Thanks for hosting - I was glad to see the announcement!
I would like to nominate chickpeas.
Good for you for taking this on! I've never participated in the past, so I will have to get on board now.
Also, I am attempting an asparagus recipe tonight that is 100% for your project. If it works I will be very proud of myself, if it doesn't I might have to jump off a bridge.

Marianne,
It's huge fun, which is why I didn't want to see it end.
Most people survive jumping off the local bridges -- not high enough.
Thanks Kevin!
How 'bout salmon?
I'll nominate nectarines. Thanks for taking over! :)
How about morel mushrooms..since it is the season
In support of the Eat Local Challenge, definitely "something local".
It's terrific for Paper Chef to get attention again ... it was dying a slow and sad death.
