Jihva for Ingredients – Ginger
Well ….. Here we are. It's come round to my turn to host Jihva for Ingredients and I have to say I'm a little nervous.
You would think it would be quite easy choosing an ingredient for the theme of this event but I have been agonising over it for weeks.
The choices over the last nine months have all been excellent as have the recipes, so I'm sure all you wonderful cooks out there will have no problem creating something equally spectacular with my theme . . . . Ginger
Hot, spicy and incredibly versatile. Ginger has many medicinal uses as well as culinary. Not only can it be used to flavour sweet and savoury dishes it is also the main ingredient in ginger beer and ginger ale which are said to help cure stomach upsets caused by overeating!
For those of you who would like to participate in this event the rules are quite simple:
Post a recipe on your blog containing Ginger as one of the dominating flavours by 1st February (it doesn't have to be a new recipe, just one that you particularly enjoy).
Send me an email ( ginger@whatstherecipetodayjim.com) on 1st February with a link to your post plus a photo of the dish 75×75 pixels in size.
That's all there is to it. Don't forget to check later that week for the roundup.
Happy cooking
