I thought that this would be a good introductory post. Something simple and strange inspired by an ingredient I was using to make dinner and another ingredient that was hanging out in the fridge. Found ingredients are where most of the dishes in this blog will come from. The munchee quest for most of us ends with a combination of what we have close by along with the desire to blow our minds and satiate our bellies with something so comforting or so strange.
I was toasting some pine nuts (just throw some in a small cast iron skillet and put on medium heat, toss until lightly brown and fragrant) to top some pasta I was making. After I ate the savory my craving for sweet crept up. I went to grab a few dark chocolate chips that I had leftover from the Apple Chocolate Chip Cake that I made for my birthday. The still warm, leftover pine nuts in the pan were calling out to mingle with the chocolate. I couldn't refuse their cries and I'm glad I didn't. The result was delicious and new, but with the familiar comfort of a chocolate-nutty combination with the warm pine nuts helping to melt the chocolate. Mmmmmmmm.....
If you happen to be the type of stoner cook who keeps pine nuts and any type of chocolate around, this is a quick, easy, rich and satisfying snack. If not, then any warm nuts and chocolate are delicious.
