Elawin
Vanilla cured salmon with cucumber ketchup, charred cucumber and pickled ginger
I made this recipe and it was very delicious. The vanilla taste is subtle and interesting. Its something I will do again.
Salzburger Nockerl
A very delightful soufflé - so pretty!
The Late Night Gourmet
Apple Crumble Cupcakes
A lovely elision of crumble and cake.
Potatoes Roasted in Vanilla Pepper Oil
This stood out as bold and original. I haven't yet tried it but I know it will work. I've recently been using vanilla with Jerusalem artichokes based on this idea.
Sandra
Risotto with artichokes and vanilla (Risotto ai carciofi mantecato alla vaniglia)
A beautiful and original dish, well presented. I can imagine the vanilla working as well with globe artichokes as with Jerusalem artichokes.
ElizabethB
Vanilla Kahlua
This home-made liqueur sounds as if it could knock your socks off! Good thinking to have entered a drink recipe.
Vanilla Bean "Pig Candy"
This was new to me as I hadn't come across Pig Candy before. A great the combination of smoky, salty and sweet with a vanilla twist.
Savory Sweet Potato Casserole
Sweet and savoury, this casserole is a very rich dish. I like the cayenne pepper and vanilla combo.
SatNavSaysStraightOn
Vanilla dairy free ice-cream (see last post in thread)
I'm partial to vanilla ice-cream on occasion and the description of the recipe sounds good.
Finally, I shortlisted two recipes: Risotto with artichokes and vanilla (Risotto ai carciofi mantecato alla vaniglia) from @Sandra and Potatoes Roasted in Vanilla Pepper Oil from @The Late Night Gourmet. I really can't choose between them but as there is only one prize, then I have to decide who gets it! The Late Night Gourmet won the Challenge not long ago so for that reason I've chosen Sandra as the prizewinner. But you are both winners really!
Sandra you need to choose a prize from below and then PM me an address to send it to.
