PC#45 Suggestions Please...

Time flies and it's almost time for the next Paper Chef.
First up, a special thanks to Deeba of Passionate About Baking for stepping in as our guest judge last month.
As usual we are asking for suggestions to add to the pool of ingredients for selection. Feel free to nominate ingredients that you would like to cook with, just try not to make them too obscure - remember that we all do have to use them & that means trying to find them!
So far we have:
rocket, almonds, lentils, cream, prawns, pasta, pine nuts, salami, dried tomatoes, brown sugar, bread, butter milk, golden syrup, balsamic vinegar, goat's cheese, green tea, tuna, lamb, grapes, mushrooms, yoghurt, beans, spring onions, green tomatoes, carrots, broccolini, blood oranges, olives, mangoes, asparagus, cashew nuts, wasabi, cornmeal, cheese, pineapple, beef, fennel, lemon, honey, mint, beetroot, flour, kangaroo/venison meat, boneless chicken, green bell pepper, garlic, orange roughy, eggplant, leeks, strawberries.
Update: Tofu, Rutabaga, Queso Fresco, Figs, Prawns, pasta.

Next week winner of the last Paper Chef, Janie from Musingri, will select 3 random ingredients from this list and a fourth ingredient/theme of her own.
Start thinking & suggesting!

The winner is up!

She's a fast one, she is Deeba, the winner is already up so go and take a look at who it is!

But now over to the roundup, I hope you will be as delighted as I am about all the different dishes that the participants have come up with, using this month's four ingredients ricotta, chocolate, ginger and an ingredients of choice as long as it had something to do with Fall.
