It is a food for tough economic times because it stretches meat a tad further, so I thought it was a timely dish to write about. The meatball is its cousin.The recipe is included in the credits.

Chef Stephen Gibbs of Hands On Gourmet demonstrates a hot cooking tip, "how to blanch and shock". Blanching is cooking something in a hot liquid, typically water or chicken stock. Shocking is to stop the cooking process. The purpose of using the technique is to preserve the natural color of the food, such as asparagus and tomatoes.rjq68pwy3n
