My Plate: June 8, 2012

My plate, a simple series where I show you what was on my plate, or maybe in the pan right before it goes on my plate.

Tonight for dinner it was a latin themed affair, mostly because I had a batch of sourdough bread that did not like the cold weather that hit us earlier this week. It was taking too long to raise, so rolled it out and made flatbread instead. We stuffed them with venison seasoned with freshly ground spices, goat milk cheddar cheese, sauteed onions and garlic scapes, homemade salsa and had a big salad on the side.

I must admit, the sourdough flatbread take the place of a tortilla quite well. Mr Chiots give them two thumbs up (though he thought the jalapeños were a big too hot).

What have you been enjoying on your plate recently?

After a few requests, now I’ll be adding a resource section to list the ingredients I use and where I get them. I’m in the process of putting together a master list as well, that will become it’s own page.
