kumquat | gluten-free recipes

December 9, 2014 meatless main dish

potato, beet & ambrosia apple tian

potato, beet, & ambrosia apple tian | kumquat

disclosure: i was asked to participate in the #iloveambrosia campaign as a member of the healthy aperture blogger network. i was compensated for my time and was gifted a dozen ambrosia apples.

 if you follow this site, you’ll know that i am an apple lover.

apples may be one of the foods i’ve consumed most in my lifetime… i have my favorite varieties, but i was over the moon when the healthy aperture blogger network introduced me to ambrosia apples.

if you are like me and you like your apples sweet, ever crunchy and juicy, you’ve got to try them. one of my greatest food let-downs is biting into a pithy, grainy apple… that was so far from the case for each one of the dozen apples i received. crispy and honey-sweet, with mother nature’s shiny bi-color palate of iridescent red over creamy yellow.

this apple is a youngster in the apple family, only 10 years in the orchards. unlike most apples, which are purposely crossed to create new varieties, ambrosia apples came to be as a chance seedling in a canadian orchard. it was fate… and their name, ambrosia, means “food of the gods”. maybe aphrodite had something to do with that first apple tree.

sweet as honey. pretty as sunshine.

while i clearly love using apples in sweet things, i also enjoy how their sweetness and texture adds to savory dishes. these apples are slow to oxidize (when the flesh turns that pesky apple-brown), so they are perfect to slice and use in a herbed root vegetable tian.

tians are so simple, yet so lovely. thinly sliced layers roasted to pull out the sweetness and depth of each flavor. and it’s easy to get a bit of each element in one bite… this one would be perfect for a holiday table, though i’d eat it any day of the week. i think aphrodite would approve.

Breathing a sweet, grateful, and life-giving sigh Breathing a sweet, grateful, and life-giving sigh that we made it through a whole semester of in-person school for my three kiddos.
•
Such effort, time, prayer, and intention went into that semester by teachers, administrators, parents and kiddos.
•
Thankful for a much earned Christmas break. And a time to celebrate the birth of the One who holds it all together.
•
And grateful too to escape for a minute into a grain-free Gingerbread Green House construction. If this is how you decompress too, then I see you!

I’m so obsessed lately with this song that my girls and I were singing it at the top of our lungs driving through school drop-off this morning.
•
It’s so fun and meaningful and emotional. And I love it.
•
Go give it another listen today. And I dare you not to sing along.
