Paper Chef 38 - Round Up
This month's Paper Chef Challenge had quite a few entries, some first timers & some who were so keen they cooked up a storm with 2 different recipes! Its good to see that there are bloggers out there up for the challenge given that the four key ingredients this month were: Figs, Mint, Polenta & Anchovy.Impossible to combine? definetly not! so here are this month's entries:
First is Murasaki from Samurai Viking Cuisine with her Fig Tart with Anchovies
Next Amanda from Hunger for New Ways with Polenta and Goat Cheese Pizzettas with Anchovy creme fraiche
Harini from Cleanplatter came up with with Minty Mediterranean Croquettes but there was also a 2nd recipe Grilled olive polenta with minted fig chutney
Then there was my entry Mike from Spikey Mikeyswith a fig Pizza - 2 ways Fig Pizza-2 ways
Lori from Lori's Lipsmacking Goodness with another double entry paper chef march
One is Minted Fig Canapes and the other is Fig and Olive Tapenade with Polenta Fries
Janie from Musing RI, etc. with a Anchovy Mint Pesto Pork with Fig Cream Sauce and Ricotta Polenta 
Adrienne was next from Hungry Bruno with a Fig and Mint Meatballs with Anchovy Tomato sauce over Creamy Polenta
Tanna from My Kitchen In Half Cups with, i'm not sure what the name of this dish is but Tanna has labled the post as simply Figs Anchovy Mint Polenta
And finally Laura from Tiramisu' with Anchovy Pate on Multigrain Crackers
I have to say eight different bloggers with eleven (or twelve if you count a double pizza) different recipes is pretty amazing. Well done to all. As Last month's winner I have a very very tough decision to make, who to select as this months winner. You also have a say in the Peoples choice, so read the blogs and decide which is your favourite!

Roundup Paper Chef 37
I am not sure if was the liver, but there were not that many entries for the Paper Chef this time. Even if the entries are great and inspired I would have loved to see some more people taking part of this month's PC.
It would be great to get some input from you readers on how to make PC better, funnier, more interesting, inspiring and thus get more entries. Please share your thoughts.
Mike from Spikey Mikeys went through what can only be described as living hell to get to the ingredients, 46.4 degrees Celsius. To be living in Australia now cannot be easy. My heart goes out to those who have suffered losses.
Mike is luckily not living in the affected area and could somehow despite the incredble heat come up with the most fabulous dish.
Ravioli, stuffed with liver, chestnut & parmesan, and a oregano butter sauce.
From Italy we have Ilva, who always blows me away with her fantastic food and the artful photography not only the food but the serene surroundings of her home.
This time she came up with an amazing calf's liver with chestnuts and capers braised in balsamic vinegar served with parmesan and oregano biscuits. I would not mind coming over for some nice Italian wine and have some of those biscuits. I hope you get that this was an very indiscreet hint, Ilva. Cork up those bottles and I will jump my Dutch bike and head your way.
The third entry was the one of our ruling judge for this month's PC. As the winner of last month's competition she is in charge of the faith of the other entries. I applaud the fact that she took part herself, being that unselfish. She can't win being the judge herself or can she? Or would that make her a PC dictator?
She made liver on creamy polenta with a herb salad and all of it topped off with a mix of lightly fried shallots, apples and bacon.
She says that she got the inspiration for the herb salad at Absinthe. I wonder if it didn't come from drinking the Absinthe, the dish has that dreamy character to it with the creamy polenta and the sweet, sour and salty topping that makes me think she had a sip or two to come up with this creative dish.
The last entry is my own. I can't be asked to say that much about it.
I made the easiest chicken paté on salad of almonds, orgegano, bacon, spring onion topped of with a savory tuile.

Paper Chef 36 the roundup!
Sorry for being a bit late with the roundup! It is very small but very good I think I can say without exaggerating. I hope that the reason to why we have so few participants was the somewhat difficult ingredients and not boredom, I think it was the ingredients because I felt a little perplex myself when I saw them last week: dried chili pepper, barley, vanilla pod and beef are an unusal combination but as you will se, you can make wonders with them!
The first to send me an entry was this month's judge Mike from Spikey Mikeys who obviously only will take part in the People's Choice part. He made a Chili Beef with Barley that was so good that he will make it again I believe him!
Terry of Taste Adventures has made an enticing Pepper Crusted London Broil With Chili-Vanilla Balsamic Cream and Chili-Avocado Barley Pilaf, are you beginning to see what I mean here? The imagination!
My friend Murasaki of Samurai Viking Cuisine was kind and good enough to run to the shop to make a late entry for the PC when I asked her, she came up with Barley Beef Spring Rolls With Cocoa Vanilla Chili Sauce - it was well worth waiting for!
I made Barley and Chili Coated Beef Dice on a Barley and Vanilla Couscous Cake.
See how different yet delicious these four entries are? I am impressed actually!
Please vote for the People's Choice and stay tuned for the winner that Mike will announce next week!
