Homeira’s Roast Saffron Chicken & Vegetables

It is so exhilarating to live a life that frees your mind from limitations and rules when exercising creativity. I respect and honor important rules and traditions, but when it comes to creating in my culinary atelier, my “kitchen”, it is a matter of not feeling restricted to what everyone else does. You would be very surprised if you knew how far from my original idea for this recipe ended.

I had thought to use artSAVOR 50 to season the chicken artSAVOR 10 for the vegetables and bread. Somehow to my surprise, I was out of both and redirected to artSAVOR 40 and artSAVOR 30 respectively. This launched a pantry purge which I do from time to time to toss things past their “use by” date. I found a bottle of Persian pickled lime that I had completely forgotten. Then my favorite question popped into my head, “What if?” The rest is history. The time from start to service was about an hour.

Baked Sweet Potato with Walnut Sage Topping

Sweet potatoes are a Thanksgiving and holiday table tradition. Their sweet and nutty notes when served with savory turkey are a flavorful symphony, especially with the addition of walnuts or pecans. My son, Joshua, loves sweet potatoes however I prepare them. His first question, “Are you making sweet potatoes?” Naturally this follows, “Please make pumpkin cheesecake, but with raw, organic cream cheese, please?” What can I say, kids keep you on your toes!

Persian Cucumber Salad

While I find onion a great flavoring vegetable, I don’t particularly find biting into raw pieces of it exciting or enjoyable in salads or any dish. My memories of eating this traditional Persian salad with cucumber, tomatoes and raw onion was to pick out the onion bits, while still enjoying the onion flavor that resulted from tossing the ingredients together. My taste memory recollections gave me the idea to recreate this traditional recipe without onion! Using artSAVOR 75 with it pungent, smoky flavor profile from leek, parsley and dill creates the perfectly balanced dish!

Sweet Corn Blini

While my personal inclination is to create savory dishes and more often than not, I use an artSAVOR blend, this recipe is an example where the simplicity of the ingredients are all that's needed. These delicious little pancakes can be made ahead. Use your imagination regarding toppings, where you might infuse that element with a hint of artSAVOR! This provides a lovely vegetarian options, but you could add a little bacon, or add a touche of smoked salmon for a super savory option. Delicious quick and versatile, top with avocado, yogurt and cilantro and a bit of jalapeño or smoked trout and shallots that have been quick pickled in rice wine vinegar. Let your imagination run wild. Serve multiple versions of this same little blini and your guests will be delighted!
