Stuffed Quail - Foodie Flicks

While I can't really try this exact recipe for myself, since it includes nuts, I was completely charmed by the above recipe for Stuffed Quail with Pancetta, Butternut, and Leeks with Pistachio Pesto Sauce -- led by Executive Chef David McMillan. It not only looks and sound delicious, but there's also a lot of great tips and techniques inside the 11-minute video.

It outlines how to prep the stuffing, the ingredients (butternut squash and garlic), plus all the finer points of those tiny quail and how to whip up a single-serving pesto with a mortar and pestle.

The best recipes and videos are the ones that give you more information than merely a simple recipe -- extra tips, food intricacies, cooking techniques -- and this flick definitely delivers.

Meaty bruschetta

meaty bruschetta
What do you do when you have old, leftover pancetta that really needs to be eaten, a whole pile of tomatoes, and an insanely tasty baguette? Meaty bruschetta. Yesterday, I knew that I wanted something a bit more than just veggies on bread to go with my salad and mashed potatoes. So I decided to make things meaty, and it was beyond tasty.

Just fry the heck out of some pancetta with some diced onion until it's dark and crispy. Then toss that with some chunks of fresh tomato, a little bit of garlic, and some freshly ground salt and pepper. Meanwhile, give your baguette a preliminary toast with a little olive oil and garlic drizzled on it. When the toast is ready, throw the mixture on top, grate some cheese over that, and bake it for a little while until the cheese melts.

Have any bruschetta variations of your own? Share!

a box of arborio rice and a butternut squashI am a sucker for risotto. There's nothing like the creamy toothsomeness of cooked arborio rice to really set my heart afluttering with joy. I'm also a huge fan of butternut squash and kale. Happily, I just stumbled across a recipe that all those items into a single, hunger-inducing dish.

This recipe is over at GastroKid, so it's designed as a way for parents to help their kids eat and enjoy their veggies. However, I don't think anyone is going to get mad at me if I make it with nary a kid in sight.
