PAPER CHEF 33 - THE ROUNDUP!

So it is time for the roundup of Paper Chef 33! Six entries and all quite different, I didn't expect that but I always forget about how creative food bloggers are! And how differently we think one from another! Fortunately so I say, especially when I see these entries, each and every one inspired! Remember the ingredients? They were rice, ginger, beetroot and apples. Pia, you won't have an easy choice here - Good Luck!

First out are Kay and Dana from Besides Pizza, a mother-daughter who have participated once before, this time they have made a bursting of goodness Really Red Apple Pie Crisp full of apples, ginger and beetroots. Inviting!

Duncan from Syrup and Tang is doing the PC for the first time and he made Beetroot and ginger layered kuih with apple purée, an inspired interpretation of a Malaysian /Indonesian dish. Mouthwatering!

Prtybrd (pronounce that one if you can! She does have a normal name but I'm not sure she wants me to use it) of Culturally Confused is also a first timer and her entry is Ginger Rice Stuffed Pork Tenderloin with Cranberry Apple Beet Compote that has a most fantastic colour! Enticing!

Next out are Mike and Paul from Eat Me! I am so happy that they continue to participate in the Paper Chef as Paul's stopped food blogging (Paul, that's a reproach you know-get going again!) and this is the only time they appear in my rss reader. Anyway this time Paul has made an inviting Green Apple Risotto with Beetroot and Ginger “agrodolce” and Walnuts. Alluring!

Now Magnus of Amsterdam has outdone himself, he has not only made one entry, he has made a whole menu of three dishes! Smoked mackerel on an apple salsa with a beetroot sauce and a beetroot cracker, Rice coated sea wolf on lentils in a beetroot broth and Fluffy rice pudding with apple gel, poached beetroot with a beetroot syrup. Amazing!

And I made Beetroot and Ricotta Mousse with Ginger, Thyme and Balsamic Vinegar Served in Rice baskets and Topped with Apple Garnish.
