Iron Chef Challenge #3
Last week was kind of hard, so this week we’re going with something a little easier.
A quick review of our few simple rules/guidelines:
1. Whatever you come up with has to be new, nothing from a cookbook or a blog, not something you posted last week that happens to involve the secret ingredient. It’s fine to use a recipe for a jump-off point, but make it your own!
2. Entries are due at 3 pm CST on Sunday (but it takes me awhile to read all of the entries so if you’re a little late it’s no big).
3. Have fun and be creative!
And the secret ingredient is…
COCONUT!
Coconut is a fabulous ingredient because while it’s sweet, it easily translates into savory dishes. Plus, you can get it in so many ways: canned milk, shredded and dried, extract, oil, fresh, etc. Any form is welcome!
Allez Végétalien Cuisine!
