It’s spring in Arkansas, which means we have encountered almost every kind of weather over the past week, and experienced deeply fluctuating temperatures – enabling us to go from gloves and coat on our morning walk, to sitting outside in a tank top, sweating by mid-afternoon.

With the current heavy rainfall – causing flooding all over the area, and cooler temperatures, augmented by gloomy, grey skies – it seems appropriate to return to hearty, warming, winter dishes.

1 cup pomegranate juice

Although the potato, currently the worlds 4th largest food crop, is believed to have originated in South America, this starchy tuber has come to be associated with Ireland, and therefore, with St Patricks Day.

These recipes for Irish Potato Soup and Colcannon, use a very small amount of the approximately 5000 potato varieties that are available worldwide, but are very big on flavor.

When the opportunity arises for me to deliver dinner to a friend and their family – whether they have just had a baby, moved house or are in the process of completing a PHD, my tendency is to create the entire meal, from appetizer to salad to dessert, around a main course of pork tenderloin.

It is elegant, transports well, is perfect hot or room temperature and is easily reheated, as needed.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH ROASTED CHERRIES AND SHALLOTS

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

3 shallots, quartered

8 ounces fresh cherries, pitted and halved

1/4 cup chicken stock

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1/2 teaspoon brown sugar

1 tablespoon butter

1/4 cup chopped parsley

Heat oven to 425F.

Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil, swirl to coat. Combine 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper, cumin and cinnamon. Rub pork evenly with the mixture. Add pork to pan and brown. Place in oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a thermometer registers 140F. Remove pork from pan, place on a cutting board. Let pork stand 10 minutes, slice.

Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to pan, swirl to coat. Add shallots and cherries, sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Place pan in oven, bake at 425F for 10 minutes. Carefully remove pan from oven, place over medium-high heat. Stir in stock, vinegar, and sugar, bring to a boil. Cook for 4 minutes or until liquid is syrupy. Remove from heat, stir in butter. Serve cherry mixture with pork, sprinkle with parsley.

After getting home and warming up from being outside in the cold drizzle on the farm, it was time to cook dinner. With seven kids – two of my daughters friends were sleeping over and the boys both had friends to stay also – I planned a feast. The Birthday Girl had requested Shepherds Pie and Chocolate Cake for dessert, but I also spread out an array of child friendly foods.

SHEPHERDS PIE

shepards pie2 pounds of potatoes, peeled and cubed

2 tablespoons sour cream

2 tablespoons softened cream cheese

1 egg yolk

1/2 cup cream

salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 3/4 pound ground lamb

1 carrot, peeled and chopped

1 onion, chopped

2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons flour

1 cup beef stock

2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce

1/2 cup frozen peas

1 teaspoon paprika

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

Boil potatoes in salted water until tender, about 12 minutes. Drain potatoes, and pour them into a bowl. Combine sour cream, cream cheese, egg yolk and cream. Add the cream mixture into potatoes and mash until potatoes are almost smooth (I added everything straight in with the potatoes and saved a bowl).

While potatoes boil, heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add oil to the hot pan with the lamb. Season with salt and pepper. Brown and crumble meat for 3 to 4 minutes. Add chopped carrot and onion to the meat, cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. In a second small skillet over medium heat, cook butter and flour together 2 minutes. Whisk in broth and Worcestershire sauce. Thicken gravy one minute, then add to the lamb mixture. Stir in the peas.

Heat broiler to high. Fill a small baking dish with lamb and vegetable mixture. Spoon potatoes over meat evenly. Top potatoes with paprika and broil until potatoes are evenly browned. Top pie with chopped parsley and serve.

Enjoy!

He requested steak, potatoes and peas as his Birthday Dinner, after which, we walked around the park, then home to bake cookies for dessert, a cup of tea, and gifts – which he opened in an even shorter amount of time than it took me to wrap them.

Strain the chicken, reserving the stock. When the chicken is cool enough to handle, chop into bite sized pieces.
Wipe out the stock pot and place back on heat. Add the olive oil and the butter. Add the chopped onion, remaining ginger, apple and curry powder. Once the onion and apple are just tender, sprinkle in the flour, stir then whisk in reserved stock until desired consistency is reached. Bring the mixture to a light simmer to thicken.

CREAMED SPINACH AND PARSNIPS

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 pounds small parsnips, cut into 3/4 inch pieces
2 shallots, thinly sliced
1 cup chicken stock
1 teaspoon chopped thyme
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/4 pounds baby spinach
2 tablespoons flour
2 cups half and half or whole milk
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in the oil. Add the parsnips and cook over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 6 minutes. Add the shallots and cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the stock and thyme and bring to a boil. Season with salt and pepper, cover and simmer over low heat until the parsnips are tender, about 8 minutes.
Meanwhile, fill a large, deep pot with 2 inches of water and bring to a boil. Add the spinach in large handfuls and blanch, stirring, just until wilted, about 10 seconds. Drain and cool under running water. Squeeze the spinach dry and coarsely chop it. Stir the spinach into the parsnips.
In a medium saucepan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and cook over moderately high heat until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Whisk in the flour and cook, whisking for 1 minute. Whisk in the half and half and nutmeg, season with salt and pepper and bring the sauce to a boil, whisking until thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir the sauce into the spinach and parsnips and bring to a simmer. Transfer to a bowl and serve.

My goal is to make one new recipe a day – although there are times I will undertake five new recipes for a dinner party, or make a complicated family dinner, there are definitely days where life is exceedingly busy, and I barely have time to make a cup of tea, let alone put elaborate fare on the table. However, whether it has been a bustling day, or I’m going out for the evening, or I’m not in the mood to cook, I usually find it attainable to put together something quickly, or to make the dish in advance, so it just has to be warmed up, or taken out of the refrigerator.

OVEN BAKED FRENCH FRIES

cooking spray
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 to 1 pound of potatoes, cut into strips
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Heat oven to 325F.
Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, mustard and lemon juice. Add potatoes and toss to coat.
Spread potatoes out on the prepared pan and bake for 20 minutes, or until light brown and tender. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Enjoy!

1 bunch of broccolini
2 tablespoons of olive oil
6 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried chile flakes

Steam the broccolini until tender, about 6 minutes.
Heat the broiler. Drain the broccolini and place it in a baking dish. Drizzle it with olive oil and sprinkle with cheese, chile flakes and oregano. Broil the broccolini until the cheese is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Squeeze the lemon juice onto the broccolini, season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve.

GLAZED CIPOLLINI ONIONS

20 to 24 cipollini onions
2 cups chicken stock
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
pinch of salt
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons chopped chives

To peel the onions, bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Cut an ‘X’ in the root end of each onion. Drop the onions into the water for a few seconds, just long enough to loosen the skin. Remove the onions from the water and peel off the skin.
Place the onions in a 3 or 4 quart saute pan. They should fit in a single layer with room around the onions. Pour in enough stock to reach halfway up the sides of the onions. Add enough water to just come to the top of the onions.
Add the butter, salt and sugar to the pan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Adjust the heat as necessary to cook the onions at a gentle simmer for about 50 minutes.
When the cipollini onions are tender, the liquid should be reduced to a glaze that coats the onions. If there is excess liquid, continue to simmer the liquid to a glaze. Sprinkle the chives on top just before serving.
Enjoy!

Often after a weekend of cooking and entertaining, there are ingredients left over from the recipes I prepared. I recently spent almost a week finding creative ways to use up the excess found in the refrigerator and pantry – always a fun challenge, and as interesting as coming up with a menu for a dinner party, lunch with friends or after school gathering.

CREAMY DILL CUCUMBER SALAD

2 cucumbers
1 cup thinly sliced sweet onion
1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1 1/3 cups dill pickles, quartered and sliced into 1/2 inch pieces
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons pickling brine
1/3 cup sour cream
black pepper

Using a vegetable peeler, peel cucumbers lengthwise so they look striped. Quarter cucumbers lengthwise and slice into 1/2 inch pieces.
Mix cucumbers with onions and salt. Transfer to a colander set over a bowl, to drain. Set aside for 30 minutes. Pat dry.
In a bowl, combine cucumbers and onions with pickles and dill. Mix in brine and sour cream. Season with salt and pepper.
Enjoy!

CHEESE POTATOES

2 1/2 to 3 pounds of potatoes
1/2 cup butter
1 cup flour
1 cup parmesan cheese
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Peel and cut potatoes into 1 inch chunks. Place in a large bowl and cover with water, refrigerate until cold.
Melt butter in a 9 by 13 baking dish. Place flour, cheese, salt and pepper in a plastic bag and shake to mix.
Once potatoes are coated in cheese mixture, place them in the buttered dish. Cook 45 minutes to 1 hour in a 375F oven, or until potatoes are tender, stirring once during cooking.
Enjoy!
