New Recipes: What Do You Think?

[Shari in TX]

I was just looking at this recipe tonight and thinking that I would like to try it. I bought some Blackberry Balsalmic sauce on a supply order and haven't used it yet. I've also got an open bottle of Ginger Wasabi that I have not used with a recipe yet (just did tastings with it). Would that sub into this recipe well, do you think?

I'm thinking that the flavors would work well with that one too. Maybe instead of the almonds, do peanuts on top? The sauce only goes in the meat and then drizzled on top. Of course, it mixes in with the orzo too. My only question would be weather it would go with the parmesan that is in the orzo, but that mostly melts, so it might be worth a shot.

I made the Lemon-Cherry Crumble last night for my family. I'm allergic to tree nuts, so I was looking for a substitute for the topping. I liked Shari in TX's granola suggestion (and will prob try that at some point), but didn't have any on-hand, so I used graham crackers. I broke the graham bars up into the Manual Food Processor and used it to crunch them up, then added in the cup of cake mix and melted butter and pumped a few times to mix it all together. Worked well, and I like the idea of showing another way to use the MFP!
