#Jasmine if you’re lucky enough like most Northern Californians, to have this thriving in your yard or on a hiking path- USE IT!

I love using it in sweet and savory forms. I usually air dry the flowers and the flower beds (those have extra potent flavor) by laying flat in a large bowl where these is good air circulation. It takes about a week. I sometimes finish them in the oven 200 degrees on a cookie sheet for about 10 min.

One of my favorite things is make is jasmine sugar - I love adding cardamom and mahlab to mine. I use this for baking, cocktails, mint tea and so on. Using this one for a rhubarb and blueberry coffee cake.

The lavender rhubarb jam (that’s in one of the salts) turned into a little gin thing. Chamomile for a sweet nose tickle.

Tomorrow I’m in a contest. A #ChiliCookoff - I’m not a newbie in contests - and I never play it safe- I always go for herbal and what might appears weird - my #HerbalForeplay smoked meat technique is making its way into what will be a Woodfired Tropical Pork Chili Verde (Nissa style). Plus I’m making a bonus hot sauce (Funky and Smoky Mango Chikhuacle Negro Hot Sauce and some #mangocrema

The chilhuacle negro pepper is an ancient, fruity chili that’s a. dark chocolate brown purple color. It’s used is Oaxacan moles. I’m adding guajillo chilies for heat and the mango coconut to tame.

I’m famous for my Dungeness crab enchiladas with green sauce - I always made crab enchiladas but the recipe improved when I moved to Bolinas years ago. I always use fresh herbs and vegetables and today am using grated zucchini and Pablo peppers (new idea to grate them) with nettles - I think they are technically called dead nettles because this type doesn’t have the sting. It’s grassy and spinach like in terms of flavor - but more herbaceous. From @mediumfarm Perfect for these. The filling gets mixed with crumbly queso and wrapped in corn tortillas soaked and then the filled enchiladas drenched in a basically boiled tomatillo sauce with lots of herbs, garlic more Pablo’s and some Serranos. More queso and Serrano stop. Baked till bubbly.
