Gourmet Goat Just Discovered Seeds of Change Jalfrezi Simmer Sauce

Gourmet Goat just discovered  Seeds of Change Jalfrezi Simmer Sauce. The sauce is certified organic and delicious. All the spices in the sauce are organically grown! To make this company even more impressive, Seeds of Change contributes 1% of their net sales to advance the cause of sustainable organic agriculture worldwide. Gourmet Goat was so excited she made an irresistible and easy recipe using the organic sauce.

Personal Naan Pizza:

Heat oven to 400

Ingredients:

• 1 jar of Seeds of Change Jalfrezi Simmer Sauce
• 4 pieces of garlic naan
• 2 cups frozen spinach, thawed and drained
• 8 oz low fat ricotta cheese ( or goat cheese!)
• 1 small tomato chopped

Directions:

1. Place the pieces on naan on a baking sheet and coat each piece with about 3 tablespoons of Jalfrezi Simmer Sauce. Leave about ¼ inch around the edge so there is a thin crust.
2. After thawing and removing all the water from the spinach, sprinkle it over the sauce, then place nickel sized chunks of the ricotta cheese over the spinach.
3. Put the pizza in the oven for 5 minutes, then add the chopped tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes.

Need a side dish? 2 cups of fresh corn sautéed in 1 tablespoon of butter with a ½ teaspoon of cumin makes a great addition to this Indian pizza recipe!

Gourmet Goat Adds Goat Cheese and Goat Milk to a Classic… Mac & Cheese!

Gourmet Macaroni & Goat Cheese

Ingredients:

Pasta Mixture:

• 2 cups raw elbow macaroni pasta
• 2 ½ Tablespoons salted butter
• 2 Tablespoons flour
• 2 cups Goat Milk
• ½ teaspoon oregano
• ½ teaspoon rosemary
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon parsley
• ½ teaspoon thyme
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon pepper
• 4 ounces herb goat cheese
• 8 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 3 ounces shredded Parmesan cheese

(note: if you can’t find goat milk you can use regular milk)

Bread Crumb Mixture:

• 1 loaf Sweet Hawaiian King Bread
• 1 ½ ounces shredded Parmesan cheese
• 1 ½ Tablespoon  salted butter

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Follow package instructions and cook macaroni pasta. After draining the pasta, rinse it quickly with cold water and then set aside.
3. Slice two ¼ inch thick pieces of Hawaiian King Bread. Toast the slices until they are golden brown (crispy on the outside but still slightly soft on the inside). Let bread cool for a minute and then tear the slices into small pieces. You want to have 1 ½ cups of bread crumbs. Put the bread crumbs in a medium bowl and toss in the Parmesan cheese. Set aside.
4. Melt the butter at medium heat in a large saucepan. Add the flour and stir until bubbly. Then gradually add the goat milk, ¼ cup at a time. Stir constantly. Continue adding milk and stirring until the mixture begins to thicken. Add oregano, rosemary, garlic powder, parsley, thyme, salt and pepper. Then add all the cheeses (goat cheese, sharp cheddar and Parmesan) and stir until melted. Once the mixture is melted add the macaroni pasta. Stir until the pasta is covered.
5. Grease a 9 x 12 cooking pan. Add the pasta and cheese mixture into the pan.
6. Melt 1 ½ Tablespoons butter and mix it into the bread crumb mixture. Spread the bread crumb mixture over the pasta mixture in the pan.
7. Place the pan in the oven and cook for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are bubbly and the top is golden brown.

* Make this a full meal by serving this dish with green beans.

The Gourmet Goat’s Grilled Vegetable and Goat Cheese Pizza Recipe

This is a great summer recipe!  It makes a delicious meal, appetizer or late night snack.

Grilled Vegetable and Goat Cheese Pizza

Ingredients:

• Butter
• Olive Oil
• 1 Onion
• 2 Zucchini
• Hummus (Trader Joe’s Hummus Dip is delicious!)
• 1 Jar Roasted Red Peppers
• ¾ cup Goat cheese
• 6 Scallions thinly sliced
• Pre-made Pizza Dough (we love Trader Joe’s Whole Wheat Pizza Dough)
• ¼ cup freshly chopped Basil leaves
• Salt and pepper

Directions:

Preheat Oven: 425 degrees

Onion: Peel and chop into pieces. Heat a skillet over medium heat, add a Tablespoon olive oil and grill until golden brown. Lightly salt and pepper. Set aside.

Zucchini: Cut into rounds ¼ to ½ inch thick. Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt ½ Tablespoon of butter. Add zucchini rounds and cook for 2 minutes or until they are tender but not mushy. Lightly salt and pepper. Set aside.

Roasted Red Peppers: Drain and cut into strips. Set aside.

Scallions: Thinly slice the green portions of the scallions. Set aside

Basil Leaves: Chop up basil and set aside.

Whole Wheat Pizza Dough: Roll out pizza dough on floured surface. It is usually difficult to make a perfect round pizza dough… so make it more rustic and let the dough pick its shape. Put the dough on a cooking sheet

Hummus: Spread the hummus on the dough leaving a ¾ inch border for the crust.

Combine: Add the grilled veggies, crumbled goat cheese and scallions on top of the hummus spread. Put it in the oven and let it cook for 12-16 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.

Final Touch: let the pizza cool for a few minutes and add the chopped basil.

Eat and enjoy!
