Passionfruit Recipes

21 05 2008

(I’ve heard that you can tell the passionfruit is ripe when it becomes dimpled on the outside. However, I spoke with one of you today and you have already eaten yours (un-dimpled) and said it was very tasty — soooo??)

How to Eat Passion Fruit:

Cut in half (over bowl to catch the juice), scrape out the pulp with a spoon. Seeds are edible, but if you want to remove them, run the juice & pulp through a sieve.

There are many fancy dessert recipes that call for passion fruit juice, but here are some easy uses:

  • Spoon over vanilla ice cream or yoghurt
  • Add to a smootie with frozen fruit (organic blueberries, raspberries & strawberries are available at the commissary)
  • Make a special salad dressing:
    • 1/2 c. passion fruit juice
    • 1/8 c. oil
    • 1/8 c. apple cider vinegar
    • 1 T. honey
    • salt & pepper to taste

What did you do with yours???

Your Favorite Veggies

Olive Oil
Large Skillet
Spatula

Step 1:
1-2 T. olive oil into a large skillet on medium to high heat.

Step 2:
Cube root veggies like carrot, potato & onion and toss in skillet as you go. They take longer to cook that other veggies. Do not stir until the veggies have browned, maybe 5 minutes.

Step 3:
Cube other veggies like peppers, green beans, zucchini and eggplant and toss in as you go. The zucchini and eggplant get too mushy if cooked too long, so add those last.

You really can add anything you want — meat can be cubed and cooked in the skillet before. You can add teriyaki sauce and serve on rice. Pineapple might even be fun to try in there too.
