Summer Recipe Contest Results

Summer seems to have come and gone already, but thanks to the Get Cooking Recipe Contest finalists we were able to use some of our favorite seasonal ingredients. Thank you to all of those who entered the contest, especially our finalists.

Notes from the Cuisinart Chefs

As you know, there is only one winner, and this round it goes to Sophia’s recipe for Baked Fish. Congratulations!

The winning recipe brought together some ingredients that always do well together: red potatoes, fennel and olive oil. Once baked together with the fish, and the tomato and garlic, the dish was a hit with every taste tester. The fact that the ingredients could be quickly prepared thanks to the adjustable slicing capabilities of the Cuisinart Elite Food Processor, Sophia earned some extra points as well. Just a note to those wanting to try out this dish, we found that 1 pound of fish worked out well to feed four people.

The other two entries were both excellent. We tested these in late August, when corn on the East Coast is at its premium so we were happy to see the Creamy Corn Pudding as a contender. That being said, it made us wanting for a bit more corn in the recipe, so we would suggest doubling the amount (to 4 medium-large ears of corn, or 1 pound of frozen kernels).

The Spice-Rubbed Beef Tenderloin was popular as well (who does not like tenderloin?) but it was a bit too spicy for some of the tasting panel. Although the recipe called for grilling the beef, we chose to brown it on all sides on a Cuisinart Griddler, and then finished it in the oven.

Thank you again to all of the finalists, and congratulations to our winner, Sophia. We enjoyed preparing and tasting all of the creations and look forward to the next round!
