Baking/sweets:

Chicken liver and smoked sausage parfait that I have posted the recipe for is a low fat version that uses milk instead of cream. It is still very delicious. Parfait is usually finished off by blitzing to make it silky smooth, cooling, placing in ramekins, topping with butter, refrigerating, waiting and then eating. Too many steps involved after the parfait is cooked, I skipped these steps and took the quicker and shorter pot-to-plate route.

I used lightly smoked sausage. The sausage mellows down the irony taste that liver has. If you don’t like liver, you may be able to tolerate parfait.

Joanne concocted a “United Nations” dish with influences from different corners of the world. The dish named “Oven-Fried Tepin Chile Chicken and Waffles with a Juniper-Infused Pomegranate Maple Syrup” is one of the more innovative recipes I saw today, and one of the longest names I have ever seen.

Sweet and hot is a great flavour combination and when combined with Southern style fried chicken it should be a winner. And I didn’t realize the Southerners serve fried chicken with waffles.
