Food By Chamion — Feta-Stuffed Dates

Ingredients

* 20 Medjool dates, pitted
* 6–8 oz feta cheese, crumbled
* Fresh mint, for garnish

Directions

1. Carefully slice each date lengthwise and remove the pit, keeping the date intact.
2. Gently open each date and fill generously with crumbled feta cheese.
3. Arrange the stuffed dates in mini white paper cups on a serving platter.
4. Garnish the platter with fresh mint.
5. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.

FBC Kitchen Tip:
For the prettiest presentation, choose large, soft Medjool dates and allow them to come slightly toward room temperature before serving—the dates become beautifully tender and their natural sweetness pairs perfectly with the salty feta.

Sweet. Salty. Simple. Elegant. 🤍

Easy Dutch-Oven Sourdough Bread

A beautifully crusty artisan loaf with a soft, airy center—made with simple ingredients and baked in a Dutch oven.

Ingredients

* 1 cup (227 g) active sourdough starter, bubbly and recently fed
* 1½ cups (355 ml) lukewarm water, approximately 90–95°F (32–35°C)
* 4 cups (500 g) bread flour, spooned and leveled
* 2 teaspoons sea salt
* Rice flour or all-purpose flour, for dusting
* Parchment paper

Instructions

1. Prepare the dough:
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the active sourdough starter and lukewarm water. Add the bread flour and sea salt. Mix until no dry flour remains and a rough, slightly sticky dough forms.
2. Rest the dough:
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and allow the dough to rest for 30 minutes.
3. Stretch and fold:
With slightly damp hands, lift one side of the dough, gently stretch it upward and fold it over the center. Turn the bowl and repeat on all four sides. Cover and rest for 30 minutes.
Repeat this stretch-and-fold process three more times, resting the dough for 30 minutes between each round.
4. Allow the dough to rise:
Cover the bowl and leave the dough in a warm, draft-free area for approximately 4–6 hours, or until it looks airy, has increased noticeably in size and gently jiggles when the bowl is moved. Rising time may vary depending on the temperature of your kitchen and the strength of your starter.
5. Shape the loaf:
Lightly flour the counter and gently transfer the dough onto it. Shape the dough into a round loaf without pressing out all the air. Pull the edges toward the center, turn the dough seam-side down and gently rotate it against the counter to create surface tension.
6. Final proof:
Line a bowl or proofing basket with a clean kitchen towel and dust it generously with rice flour or all-purpose flour. Place the dough seam-side up inside the bowl. Cover and allow it to rise at room temperature for 1–2 hours.
For deeper flavor and easier scoring, refrigerate the covered dough for 8–12 hours instead.
7. Preheat the Dutch oven:
Position the oven rack in the middle of the oven. Place the Dutch oven and its lid inside, then preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C) for at least 30 minutes.
8. Score the bread:
Carefully turn the dough onto a sheet of heat-safe parchment paper. Lightly dust the top with flour. Using a very sharp knife or bread lame, make one confident slash approximately ½ inch deep across the top. Do not press down on the dough.
9. Bake covered:
Carefully lower the dough and parchment paper into the hot Dutch oven. Cover immediately and bake on the middle rack for 30 minutes. The covered Dutch oven traps steam and helps the bread rise while developing a crisp crust.
10. Bake uncovered:
Remove the lid, reduce the oven temperature to 425°F (218°C) and bake for another 15–20 minutes, or until the loaf is deeply golden brown.
11. Check for doneness:
The bread should sound hollow when gently tapped underneath. For the most accurate result, the center should register 205–210°F (96–99°C) on an instant-read thermometer.
12. Cool completely:
Carefully remove the bread from the Dutch oven and place it on a wire cooling rack. Allow it to cool for at least 1 hour before slicing. Cutting the bread while it is hot can make the inside gummy.

FBC Kitchen Tips

* Your sourdough starter must be active, bubbly and at or near its peak before you begin.
* Spoon the flour into the measuring cup and level it; do not pack it.
* The dough should feel slightly sticky. Avoid adding too much extra flour, which can produce a heavy, dry loaf.
* Use damp hands during the stretch-and-fold process to prevent sticking.
* Always preheat the Dutch oven so the dough receives immediate, intense heat.
* Keep your face and hands away from the trapped steam when removing the hot lid.
* If the bottom browns too quickly, place a baking sheet on the rack beneath the Dutch oven.
* For the cleanest slices, use a serrated bread knife only after the loaf has cooled completely.

🍨 Food By Chamion 5-Ingredient Homemade Butter Pecan Ice Cream

Rich, creamy and incredibly simple—no ice cream machine required! This homemade butter pecan ice cream uses just five ingredients and freezes into a beautifully creamy dessert.

Ingredients

* 2 cups cold heavy whipping cream
* 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
* 1 cup pecans, roughly chopped
* 2 tablespoons butter
* 2 teaspoons clear vanilla extract

Method

1. Prepare the pecans. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the chopped pecans and gently toast for approximately 3–5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely.
2. Pour the cold heavy whipping cream into the bowl of an artisan stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip until beautiful, firm peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
3. Add the sweetened condensed milk and clear vanilla extract. Mix gently until incorporated.
4. Add the completely cooled buttered pecans and gently fold them through the ice-cream mixture, reserving a small amount for the top if desired.
5. Line a bread/loaf pan with baking paper (parchment paper) and transfer the ice-cream mixture into the pan. Smooth the top and sprinkle with the reserved pecans.
6. Cover the pan securely with aluminum foil and freeze for at least 6 hours, or until completely frozen.
7. Allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping, if necessary. Serve in a beautiful dessert glass with your desired toppings.

🤍 Food By Chamion Kitchen Tips

Keep everything cold: Cold heavy whipping cream gives you the best volume and helps it whip into firm peaks.

Cool the pecans completely: Never add warm buttered pecans to the whipped cream mixture—they can cause it to lose its beautiful airy texture.

Why a loaf pan? A metal bread/loaf pan becomes cold quickly and provides an excellent container for freezing homemade ice cream.

Serving ideas: Enjoy it just as it is, or finish with caramel, hot fudge or your favorite dessert sauce.

Five ingredients. No ice-cream machine. Homemade excellence. 🍨🤍

🥥 Food By Chamion Trinidad Sugar Cake

A beloved Trinidad & Tobago coconut sweet, made with fresh dry coconut, sugar and warm aromatics. These can be shaped into beautiful uniform squares for an elegant presentation or spoon-dropped for the traditional rustic look.

Ingredients

* 2 medium dry coconuts
* 3 cups granulated sugar
* 1 bay leaf
* 2 teaspoons clear vanilla extract
* 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
* Food coloring, color of choice
* 4 cups room-temperature water
* Coconut oil, for greasing the plate, tray or baking dish

Method

1. Prepare the coconuts. Remove the hard shells from the dry coconuts, then carefully remove the thin brown outer layer from the coconut flesh.
2. Cut the cleaned coconut flesh into thin pieces and place in a blender with 4 cups room-temperature water. Blend until the coconut is very fine.
3. Transfer the blended coconut and liquid to a heavy-bottomed pan. Add the granulated sugar, bay leaf, clear vanilla extract, cream of tartar and your desired amount and color of food coloring.
4. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook, stirring regularly to prevent sticking or scorching, until it becomes very thick and the water has completely reduced.
5. Lightly grease a plate, baking tray or baking dish with coconut oil to help prevent sticking.
6. Remove and discard the bay leaf. Transfer the hot sugar-cake mixture to the prepared surface and shape as desired.
7. Allow the sugar cake to set for approximately 7 hours.
8. For an elegant presentation, cut into small, evenly sized squares. For the more traditional rustic presentation, spoon-drop portions of the hot mixture onto a lightly greased surface and allow them to set naturally.

🤍 Food By Chamion Kitchen Tips

Choose your color: Sugar cake doesn’t have to be pink. Use your desired food coloring or divide the mixture to create different colors.

For beautiful squares: Spread the mixture to an even thickness before it sets so the finished pieces can be cut into neat, uniform portions.

For the traditional look: Drop individual spoonfuls rather than spreading and cutting—the irregular shapes are part of the charm.

Prevent sticking: A light coating of coconut oil on your plate, tray or baking dish makes the finished sugar cake much easier to remove.

Food By Chamion Trinidad Coo Coo & Callaloo

These are two individual recipes prepared separately and served together as one traditional Trinidad dish.

Food By Chamion Trinidad Coo Coo

Ingredients

* 10–12 large, fresh, tender okra
* 3–4 cups fine yellow cornmeal
* 4 cups coconut milk
* 4 tablespoons butter
* 3 teaspoons granulated sugar
* 2 teaspoons sea salt
* Nonstick cooking spray
* A little cooking oil, for smoothing

Seasoning and Herb Blend

* 4 medium red pimento peppers
* 1 large onion
* 1 bundle fresh parsley
* 1 garlic clove

Method

1. Wash the okra thoroughly, pat dry and cut into small pieces.
2. Place the pimento peppers, onion, parsley and garlic into a food processor. Process until finely chopped. Do not add water.
3. Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.
4. Add the seasoning and herb blend and sauté for approximately 40 seconds.
5. Add the chopped okra, coconut milk, sugar and sea salt. Stir well and bring to a boil.
6. Allow the mixture to boil for approximately 10 minutes, or until the okra begins to soften.
7. Gradually add the cornmeal while whisking continuously to prevent lumps.
8. Continue cooking and stirring until the coo coo becomes firm and holds its shape but is not hard. Add only as much cornmeal as needed to achieve the correct consistency.
9. Remove from the heat. Lightly coat a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and transfer the coo coo to the dish.
10. Lightly oil a spatula and use it to smooth the top evenly.
11. Allow the coo coo to cool and set before cutting it into the desired shapes.

FBC Kitchen Tip

Add the cornmeal gradually. Depending on the brand and texture of the cornmeal, you may not need the entire 4 cups. Properly prepared coo coo should be firm enough to hold its shape without becoming dry or hard.

Food By Chamion Classic Deviled Eggs

Makes 12 deviled egg halves

* 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
* 1 teaspoon hot sauce, optional
* ¼ teaspoon sea salt
* ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
* ¼ teaspoon paprika, plus extra for garnish
* 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh parsley or chives

3. Slice each egg in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks.

Food By Chamion Deviled Egg Variations

Use the classic deviled egg recipe as your base, then dress each egg individually for a beautiful assorted platter.

Shrimp Deviled Eggs: Top each egg with 1 small cooked shrimp. Finish with a light sprinkle of paprika and fresh parsley or dill.

Bacon Deviled Eggs: Cook bacon until crisp, drain well and finely chop or crumble. Sprinkle over the piped filling and garnish with chopped chives.

Smoked Salmon & Caper Deviled Eggs: Add a small ribbon of thinly sliced smoked salmon to the top of each egg, then finish with 2–3 capers and a tiny sprig of fresh dill.

Olive Deviled Eggs: Top with a thin slice of pitted green or black olive. A little paprika and parsley make a lovely finish.

Bacon & Chive: Top with finely crumbled crispy bacon and freshly chopped chives.

Shrimp & Hot Sauce: Top with a cooked shrimp and add one tiny drop of hot sauce for a little kick.

Smoked Salmon & Dill: Fold a narrow strip of smoked salmon into a small ribbon and place it over the filling. Garnish with fresh dill.

Paprika & Herb Classic: Keep it traditional with a generous dusting of paprika and finely chopped parsley or chives.

Food By Chamion Kitchen Tip

For an extra-silky filling that pipes beautifully, press the cooked yolks through a fine-mesh sieve before adding the mayonnaise and seasonings.

For an assorted platter, pipe all of the eggs first and add the different toppings just before serving. This keeps the herbs fresh, the bacon crisp and the presentation gorgeous.

Chill the finished deviled eggs for about 20–30 minutes before serving.

Classic enough for Sunday dinner. Elegant enough for entertaining. Food By Chamion. 🤍💛
