i am watching masterchef junior and omfg. this kid

i’m so glad someone posted something from this show. last  night i watched this with jacob. he has already expressed some interest in being a chef (at his age he wants to be everything). but seriously, he always wants to make up dishes. nothing like these kids were cooking YET. 

when we got home he insisted that he needed to make a dessert and hijacked the cake mix i had for my nephews bday cake. he followed the directions on his own. i only helped when he asked me to.  he cooked them in a cupcake pan and after they cooled topped them with chocolate sauce, strawberries, and whipped cream. they were delicious. 

today at the grocery he made me purchase a pumpking which he intends to cook. i’m not sure what he is going to try to do with it but i’ll let you know how it goes. 

Lamb Merguez Patties – If the Sausage is Moroccan, Your Burger Will Be Rockin’

After using Merguez sausage in this beautiful stuffed acorn squash recipe last year, I got a bunch of emails saying, “I can’t find that
anywhere! Can you show us how to make it?!”
I generally ignore those, since it’s
usually just people not looking hard enough (I’m looking at you, Mr. “I can’t
find Panko”).


However, in this case, I realized that Merguez is not
commonly stocked at the grocery store, so I decided to come up with an easy
home version. I didn’t bother with the casing, as these were originally going
to be breakfast patties, but as I mention in the video, I was seduced by a
brioche roll, and ended up going full burger. Happily, it made for a very
memorable lunch.

If you do happen to give this Merguez recipe a try, I hope
you make a double batch and not only experience the amazing burger it produces,
but also use it in/on a number of things. It is wonderful in things like beans,
frittatas, pastas, soups, and crumbled on a pizza. I really hope you give it a
try soon. Enjoy!


Ingredients for Four (4 oz) Patties:
1 pound ground lamb (rec., 85% lean, 15% fat)
1 tsp kosher salt (1/2 tsp fine salt)
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp coriander
1/4 tsp fennel seed
3 cloves garlic
2 tbsp Harissa (a spice red pepper paste), we did a version here.
1 tbsp tomato paste
*Note: I didn’t add cayenne since my Harissa was very spicy, but feel free.
