Autumn came with a vengeance where I live this weekend – while I write this I’m wrapped up in wool blankets and sipping honey caramel apple cider – so perhaps it’s odd that I’m writing an ice cream recipe to share. However, this recipe, with rich, warm Chai spices and the nourishment of raw egg yolks from pastured hens, raw cream, and raw milk, IS most definitely a treat for every time of year — winter and summer alike. Decadence from simple, down home ingredients — now that’s worth celebrating!
Roasted Red Pepper and Shrimp Bisque
Bell peppers take me to a happy place. Whether it’s stuffed bell peppers, Greek salad, bell pepper breakfast baskets, pizza with peppers, gazpacho, or a healthy dose of my sister’s secret stash of smoked paprika added to pretty much anything, somehow I always hear myself letting out a little contented sigh whenever I’ve taken a capsicum-laden bite. This bisque, therefore, was born out of love.
