The roundup - Paper Chef #56

A bit late but I just knew that there would be entries dropping in late and there were. I'm sorry that I am a bit short this time, but things (good and bad) have happened that keeps me busy outside the cyber world, thank you for being understanding!
This month the ingredients were chosen by Åsa from Miss Meisters Mat who won last month and she 'selected' capers, peaches, pumpkin/squash, and lemon grass as ingredients with a theme of “vegetarian”. I think our participants really made magic with them!

First to send me an entry was Sarah from Simply Cooked who has created a dish called pumpkin and peach salad with lemon grass dressing

Next came Karen from Prospect: The Pantry with Zucchini Lemongrass Pancakes with Fresh Peach Salsa with Thai Basil.

Mike from Spikey Mikeys turned up with a Pumpkin Tagine with Couscous & a Parsley & Caper Salad.

Tricia of Jonski Blogski has made Spaghetti Squash with Tomatillo Salsa and Nectarines for us.

And then we have Åsa herself who made Ovenbaked stuffed zucchini with a salty peach- and toufu sauce.


Good Luck to all of you!

The Judge has spoken!

Finally-A Roundup!

I was a bit worried that there wouldn't be a roundup but then I waited a little longer and see, a couple of entries appeared! Thanks for that!

This month the Judge is Karen from Prospect: The Pantry who won last month and she gave us some tricky ingredients (zucchini, raspberries, beans and cereals) but nothing scares a Paper Cheffer, so here we go with the three entries in competition plus a bonus one from the Judge herself - grip your fork and follow me!

First we have Alession aka Recipe Taster, it is the second time he participates and let's hope that it isn't the last, he's definitely got the attitude of a true paper Cheffer! He serves us a Seared salmon fillet served with a zucchini and rice timbale, black eyed peas cooked with mint and garlic and a raspberry sauce!

Then we have Trish from Jonski Farms, a veteran Paper Cheffer by now who has made us Herbed Grains and Green Beans that may sound plain but if you take a look at the recipe you find that it is full of wonderful flavours!

There's another veteran Paper Cheffer here too, Kizzy from Culinary Annotations has created a fabulous sounding dish, Couscous, Edamame and Raspberry Stuffed Courgettes with Raspberry Oil!

And then we have Karen's own lovely Wheat Berry Salad with Zucchini, Fava Beans and Raspberry Sauce that I find very tempting indeed.

So what are you waiting for? Let's eat!
Good luck Karen with the judging and Thank You for doing it!
