Round Up! Round Up for Paper Chef No.41

Here we go with this month's Paper Chef contestants.

Last month's winner Alison from Local Lemons had selected her random ingredients:

asparagus
artichoke
tuna
and her final selection of:
vodka

Personally I thought they were all very compatible ingredients which would make for some interesting entries. And so it turned out to be, with six keen participants.
In no particular order we have:

Sherlonya from Sherlonyascape with her polenta with a vodka cream sauce


Kristina and David from Former Chef with their Orzo Salad with Asparagus, Artichokes, Tuna & Lemon Vodka Vinaigrette

Jenny & Markus from I could even eat a baby deer! with their Gravad Tuna

Ilva from Lucullian Delights with her Tuna and Artichoke Balls with Balsamica and Vodka Roasted Asparagus

Mike from Spikey Mikeys with a Vodka Cured Tuna on a bed of Asparagus, Artichoke and Jicama

Murasaki from Samurai Viking Cuisine with 3 entries! As she didn't nominate just one I'll list all three:
Braised Artichokes, Asparagus and Tuna with a Suce of Vodka, Sugar, Soy sauce and Wasabi

Tuna Marinated in Vodka, Lemon juice with Braised Artichokes & Asparagus served with Pasta

Braised Artichokes & Asparagus with a Marinated Tuna cooked in a Vodka sauce.

There we have our six constestants & their eight entries.
Last month's winner, Alison from Local Lemons will have the tough job of deciding the winner, but we also have the viewers choice award. So have a ook at the entries & the blogs and make your decision.

Quite a variety of dishes! But MIke, the link to Ilva's blog has an extra . in the URL so it requires some sharp eyes to get there. Could you correct it?
