Cast Iron Veggies With Mango Pickle Recipes

CAST-IRON SKILLET CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Add 1 tablespoon of the coconut oil to a 6-inch cast-iron skillet. Put the skillet in the oven and allow to heat until very hot, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl with a whisk. In a different bowl, combine the almond milk, applesauce, sorghum, egg and the remaining 2 tablespoons coconut oil. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet. Fold to combine.
• Carefully remove the hot cast-iron skillet from the oven and pour in the batter. Return the skillet to the oven and bake until golden with a crisp crust, 25 minutes.

CHOCOLATE CHIP-CHERRY CAST-IRON COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Combine the flour, oats, baking soda and salt in a large bowl and set aside. In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the yogurt and vanilla and mix on medium-low speed. Add the egg and stir to combine. Add the dry ingredients, and mix on medium-low speed until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips and cherries by hand. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Using a 1-inch cookie scoop, scoop the dough into balls. Add one ball to each mini cast-iron skillet. Bake until the cookies are golden brown around the edges and soft in the center, 13 to 15 minutes. (Alternatively, drop the dough balls onto parchment-lined baking sheets¿about 8 per sheet¿and bake for the same amount of time.)

CUCUMBER AND CARROT PICKLE

Steps:

• Bring 3 cups water to a boil. Combine the shallots, cucumber, carrot and 1 tablespoon salt in a medium heatproof bowl. Carefully pour over the boiling water. Stir to mix evenly then let stand for 20 minutes.
• Drain the vegetables in a colander, pressing them to remove excess liquid, then transfer them to a bowl. Add the vinegar, sugar, chile and the remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Stir until the sugar and salt dissolve then refrigerate until ready to use, at least 10 minutes and up to 1 hour.
