3-Ingredient Challenge
Tuesday, August 26, 2008
The Lopate Show is hosting a 3-Ingredient Challenge! Think of three ingredients, and challenge New York chef and 3-ingredient expert Rozanne Gold and Leonard to brainstorm creative dishes you can make at home using just those three ingredients. Your three ingredients can be any combination that inspires you, and you don’t need to include the basics like salt, pepper, cooking oil & butter, and sugar.
Name your three ingredients for the challenge. Also: do you have any favorite recipes that use only three ingredients?

Canned salmon, rice noodles, and coconut milk. I have all 3 sitting in my pantry unused.
Pistachios, soba noodles, kombu.
pink grapefruit, cilantro, ginger...a few of my favorite things. Something besides a salsa?
Dried shredded coconut, molasses, dried figs. I'm pregnant, I've have been craving all three.
Something that will pack a protein punch for vegetarians like me from eggs, tempeh and hummus.
Using up 3 kinds of lunch meats? Roasted turkey slices, bologna, and ham slices?
Sundried Tomato Polenta, melted mozzarella cheese, with Francesco Rinaldi's (hot & spicy) "Diavolo" sauce.
tomatillo salsa
tomatillos, garlic and chipotle pepper.
I coat the tomtillos and garlic in oil and roast. blend with a chipotle pepper and salt, & pepper. can add lemon, epazote and cilantro but it's fine without them too.
I've got some cream cheese (fromage frais) in my fridge I need to use. I've also got quite a few scallions. And there's always rice in the house...
something involving jicama and/or daikon radish, cilantro, and fish
Eggs, potatoes, garam masala...
strawberries, heavy cream & eggs
Just got back from a vacation and my roommate ate all of my groceries. What can I make with capers, oatmeal packets, and seltzer?
I would be very impressed if you can figure this one out:
1. Pork Brisket (trimmed from below the pork ribs)
2. Lingonberry Jam
3. Celery Root.
How about
Hanger steak, nopales and mint jelly?
I make rice with onions and sliced whole lemons (plus salt and oil).
I'm broke...
Eggs, pickles, and vegetable broth.
Help!!

2. Cheddar cheese

Cabbage
Tomato

Canned smoked sardines packed in olive oil, panko, and frozen peas
Did I hear right? Did Leonard really just say "ungepatchke"? I love this show.
when i'm motivated, i cook lentils. when i'm lazy, i eat peanut butter. when i'm out, i eat pasta.
thoughts?
Oh, Joanna, my tastes exactly! Did you know that it's pretty common to smear peanut butter in the curve of a celery stalk? Ugh. Nasty.
It is August, and these are right outside my kitchen window:
1. Tomatos
2. Basil
3. Peppers
Avocado, Corn and Chocolate

cherries
recipe please???
EMPTY FIRDGE VEGAN NEEDS HELP!!
Tofu

Ok, ok, I'll swap the mint jelly for peaches.
Is there any good use for mint jelly? It just tastes like toothpaste to me.
beets, carrots, broccoli
Hey don't knock the "big green" avocados. They are delicious and I prefer them to the Haas. In Puerto Rico, where I'm from, the avocados are very nutty and creamy. I eat them just as is, with a little extra virgin oil, lime or lemon juicee, and some salt.
sardines, cow's liver, tofu
You mentioned that some people do not like cilantro because of an enzime that affects some people by making Cilantro taste like soap.
Is there anything about celery - specially it's raw smell that may revolt certain people - in particular, it's somewhat of a strong smell that makes your stomach turn - though I can eat it fine in soup ONCE it's cooked
What are the top favorite three produce picks at a typical Farmers' Market?
I find that raw celery has a strong, unpleasant flavor and tends to burn the mouth like pinapple. I was astonished to learn that most people find it bland. The only other person that I've found that agrees with me is my brother. Genetics?
spam, government issue block cheese, cod liver oil
basil, olive oil, fresh mozarella
Mozzarella, tomatoes, basil
Ruth Reichl didn't know what to do with beet greens - does anybody? - I've asked the ghost of Jim Beard and he asked Craig Claiborne and said "Jimmy ad bacon." Oh yeah, I know the show is over but how about beet greens, celeric (celery root) and lambs tongue? Hell add a braise of fava beens and some red wine for a Met concert in the Park concert & I'll Get Dr. Hannibal Lecter to "BEHAVE."
About 2 years ago I attended an award dinner with my wife(a culinary wiz in her own right)for my friend Chris Maher at Beard's Townhouse in the Village in NYC.
Chris a chef and actor residing in Taos,N.M.delivered a fabulous fete and the company was great.Kicker was that I was hesitant in attending because of my busy schedule!
Sure gald we went.Remember James Beard on TV in sixties.A forerunner to all cooking shows.
