1 tablespoon fish sauce (such as nam pla or nuoc nam)
1 tablespoon (or more) fresh lime juice
Kosher salt
1/2 pound fresh lump crab meat
3/4 cup pea tendrils or shoots, trimmed
6 snow peas, trimmed, thinly sliced on diagonal
Ingredient info:Fish sauce is available at better supermarkets and at Asian markets. Pea tendrils are available at natural foods stores and Asian markets
Preparation:
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add scallions, lemongrass, and chile and cook until softened, 3-4 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook until softened, 5–6 minutes. Stir in chicken stock, coconut milk, orange juice, and fish sauce. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until flavors meld, about 15 minutes. Let cool slightly.
Working in batches, purée soup in a blender until smooth, about 1 minute per batch. Stir in 1 tablespoon lime juice. Season to taste with salt and more lime juice, if desired. Chill, if desired. Or ladle hot soup into wide shallow bowls. Garnish with crab meat, pea tendrils, and snow peas.
My Ppersonal Rrecommendations:
Followed the recipe exactly and and it was delicious!! Served it hot. I found dried Thai Chiles in a jar in the International Food Section. They were very small but very spicy. Beware of using more than just 1, but don't leave it out,it was great! I used some alfalfa sprouts on top as garnish instead of the snow peas and pea tendrils because they were easier to find, but I didn't love how they wilted when they hit the hot soup.
When I think of the fall, I think of leaves changing colors, and cooler temps...I think about dad dragging us out of our warm toasty beds early Sunday mornings to go sit around a bunch of loud mouth drunks cheering for a team that I didn't even like in football, the Cleveland Browns...and then, years later... I married one. I know, who knew, right? When that wind blew off Lake Erie and you got smacked with those awful lake effect winds, it didn't matter what you were wearing...you still froze to death.
When I think of cold weather I think of the Cleveland Browns games from my childhood and being in the "Dawg Pound," ice skating at Mill Creek Park, and drinking hot cocoa. I'm not a big hot tea fan, but cocoa... yum! I found this recipe last night and wanted to share it with you...you can make it and drink it when it's a cool night...and save the Reddi Whip leftovers for the next time you want to get romantic with your partner. Consider it like a two for one usage?
I always enjoy using ingredients in more ways than one. Beside who doesn't like to multi-task? Make sure when you go to the market for these items required, that you plan ahead, and make your selection at Simply Delicious Lingerie® for a sassy, naughty piece also....this way you'll really tantalize his taste buds! It's time to step it up a notch ladies...like Def Leppard once sang "I'm hot...Sticky Sweet, From my head to my feet... Pour some sugar on me"...in your case ( squirt some Reddi Whip on me....) This is not only a great way to turn a boring cool evening into a night of seduction, but now it will be quite memorable...and to think that you were only going to make cocoa to stay warm and take the chill off?
Spiced Pumpkin Hot Cocoa
Makes 2 servings (if you halve the recipe, just use a little pinch of the nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.) Ingredients For the hot cocoa:
3 cups milk
1/2 cup canned pumpkin or pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
2 tablespoons Dutch process cocoa
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
2 tablespoons maple syrup For the maple whipped cream:
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons maple syrup
any of the following for dusting on top: cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, raw sugar
Directions
In a saucepan, whisk together the milk, pumpkin puree, cocoa, spices and syrup. Heat until steaming, and divide among two mugs.
Meanwhile, in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or by hand using a wire whisk, whip the heavy cream with the maple syrup until it forms soft peaks.
Top the mugs of cocoa with spoonfuls of the whipped cream. Sprinkle on a little cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger and/or raw sugar if you like.
