It’s Taco Tuesday!

March 5, 2019 By Eric Lofdahl

Well folks, we’ve made it through Monday and now it’s time to reward yourself by celebrating the best weekly holiday there is: Taco Tuesday!

Morgan came prepared with homemade tacos for lunch today. I have written about my opinion on the best kind of tacos before. Even though these weren’t al pastor, they still look amazing. She prepped everything for them last night, and made sure they were good for Taco Tuesday by having them for dinner on Monday.

I like the way she thinks.

As usual, everything was cooked in Clay Coyote Flameware.

She cooked up some chicken and green peppers in the large flameware skillet, and a batch of refried beans in the flameware saucepan. She built the tacos with warmed tortillas, sour cream, the chicken and peppers, red cabbage, salsa, hot sauce, and homemade guacamole. The beans were served on the side with some cotija cheese on top.

National Soup it Forward Day

March 1, 2019 By Eric Lofdahl

Tom Kha Gai in a Dutch OvenWho doesn’t love a hot bowl of homemade soup? There are so many different varieties to make, and whatever you choose is guaranteed to warm your home, body, and soul. That’s something especially important during a cold and snowy winter like the one we have had this year. Here at the Clay Coyote, we are all big fans of soup. Since I started here, it seems like somebody has brought soup for lunch nearly every day I have worked. Often times, that soup is shared, whether it is just a bite or a whole bowlful.

Recently, I learned about a great nonprofit organization called Soup Sisters that takes sharing soup to the next level. Based out of Canada, Soup Sisters was founded on March 3, 2009. Since then, they have made over 1.5 million servings of soup for victims of domestic violence. Each month, volunteers in 25 cities across Canada and the United States come together to make over 10,000 servings of homemade soup for those in crisis.

Each year, the anniversary of their founding is celebrated by a day of soup sharing called National Soup it Forward Day. On that day, the organization encourages people to bring homemade soup to a family member or a friend in need. Whether that means they are dealing with financial troubles, the loss of a loved one, or illness, bringing them a hearty, nourishing soup shows them you care and will lift their spirits.

To recognize this day, I want to share a recipe for you to try and encourage you to share it with friends or family.

This recipe comes from Andrea Jensen, who shared it with Betsy, who in turn shared a bowl with me earlier this week at lunch. It is recipe for a Thai soup called Tom Kha Gai. Made with coconut milk, chicken, and a great variety of veggies and seasonings, this soup is absolutely packed with flavor. You can see the recipe she used below.

Tom Kha Gai

  • 3 (6) split, boneless chicken breasts, split again where wide and sliced
  • 2 cans coconut milk (don’t use lite coconut milk)
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 small shallot, diced
  • 5 dried lime leavesTom Kha Gai in a Dutch Oven
  • 1 medium-hot chili, minced
  • 1 lime, peeled in strips, then quartered
  • 1 more lime, quartered
  • 2 inches fresh ginger, grated
  • A few teaspoons green curry paste
  • Handful of basil, shredded
  • 1-2 cups diced tomatoes, drained
  • 10 mushrooms, sliced
  • ½ yellow pepper, slivered
  • Handful of snow peas, sliced
  • 3-4 carrots, sliced or julienned
  • Handful of spinach, shredded
  • Thin whole wheat Asian noodles, broken into short lengths (Santa Maria round squiggly noodles are recommended)
  • Wasabi-sesame seasoning

Combine coconut milk, broth, shallot, lime leaves, chili, mushrooms and 1 teaspoon curry paste in stockpot. Simmer for 5 minutes.

Add oil from lime peel, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, yellow pepper, carrots, snow peas, and noodles. Simmer 2-3 more minutes.

Add chicken and juice of peeled lime. Gently simmer 5-8 more minutes (beware of overcooking, but make sure your chicken is done). Help noodles separate if necessary.

Stir in shredded spinach, and adjust seasoning to taste with extra lime, grated ginger, and curry paste.

Garnish with basil and wasabi-sesame seasoning.

 

Dutch Oven on Direct FlameBetsy cooked this up in one of Clay Coyote’s Flameware Dutch Ovens, right on the stovetop. I’m sure the kitchen smelled amazing throughout the whole process, as even the small bowl I had was an aromatic treat.

Whether you try this recipe yourself or make one of your personal favorites, remember to share it with somebody in need this Sunday. Spread the word on social media by using the hashtags #HugInABowl and #SoupItForwardDay.

On top of it being National Soup it Forward Day, March 3rd. Stop in before  our Annual Dot Sale ends on March 9th and pick up a few soup bowls so you can share your soup in style!

Happy National Chili Day!

February 28, 2019 By Morgan

Happy National Chili Day! In honor of this timely holiday we made a big batch of homemade chili in our handmade flameware Dutch Oven.

Three kinds of organic beans (pinto, kidney, black), crushed tomatoes, green chilies, fresh bell pepper, and tons of seasoning (garlic, onion, salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, and a pinch of cinnamon). And fresh ground beef from Benny’s, our local butcher.

Put it all in the Dutch Oven and place in the oven at 200F for 8 hours. You could also do it at 350F for 4 hours.

It was great, served hot in a chili bowl, with fresh baked no knead bread, shredded cheddar, and a dollop of sour cream.

Happy #nationalchiliday! In honor of this timely holiday we made a big batch of #homemade chili in our #handmade #flameware Dutch Oven.
