A Skyrim MealWhen I’m gaming for extended periods of time, lord knows how hungry I get. It’s not an unusual occurrence, when playing Skyrim, that I have often found myself drooling over a horker loaf… or even wondering if charred skeever tastes all that bad. Clearly #barbarianproblems  Anyway, curiosity finally got the best of me, and to everyone’s relief, I decided to begin with some of the more milder Skyrim recipes.  Now, as you will discover with many of my dishes, they don’t exactly follow the traditional Skyrim ingredient formula. But do not fret! I promise they are as lore friendly as possible; aka, they aren’t incredibly bland, because we all know that a pile of salt always doesn’t always do the trick, am I right? So, for today’s menu I present to you, from the top left going clockwise: potato leek soup, salmon steak, jazbay grape tapanade with crackers, and cauliflower drizzled (or in my case drenched, heh heh) with Elsweyr fondue.Want the full recipe?

Potato Leek Soup ~4 servings Ingredients:4 cups of chicken stock3 large potato’s, peeled and quartered1 large leek, finely chopped½ cup heavy cream or milkSalt and Pepper to tastePreparation:1. Can’t get any easier that potato leek soup! First you’re going to want to prepare the vegetables. Once you have them rinsed and chopped up, place them into a large pot with the chicken stock, and bring to a boil. 2. When the potatoes are soft, take the pot off of the heat and begin to mash the mixture until smooth (you can also put the soup into a food processor or blender for the creamiest texture, but for authenticity’s sake, lets just assume they don’t have blenders in Skyrim ;P )3. Return the pot to the flame and finally add in the cream or milk. If you like a lighter soup, I suggest using the milk. Simmer for an additional 15-20 min. and you’re done! Salmon SteakIngredients:1 salmon steak3 tbsp of olive oilA pinch of tarragonSalt and Pepper to taste Lemon (optional)Preparation:1. So this recipe is as easy as the Skyrim version. Lather the salmon steak with olive oil and place in an ovenproof dish. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and tarragon. Place into the oven at 450 degrees F for around 30-40 minutes, depending on how crispy you like the skin. Serve with lemon for an additional kick. Jazbay Grape Tapenade with CrackersIngredients:1 part Kalamata Olives, finely chopped1 part parlsey, finely choppedA drizzle of olive oilPreparation:1. Mix the ingredients together and serve with crackers… it’s really that easy people. Cauliflower with Elsweyr FondueIngredients: -Fondue-2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese (feel free to substitute any cheese to        your liking)1/3 cup of Gruyere cheese (again substitute if you must)1 tablespoon of flour 1 cup of any German Lager2 tbs mustardA sprinkle of Worcestershire sauce-Vegetable- Any steamed vegetable will due, I chose a cauliflower. Preparation:1. While your vegetable choice is steaming, combine cheeses and flour in a bowl. Make sure to evenly coat the cheese so it does not stick together. 2. Place the beer in a small pot and bring to a bubble. Add the cheese in small handfuls making sure to keep stirring, else the mixture shall curdle (aka you’ll be eating lumpy cheese for dinner T.T ). 3. Lastly, add the mustard and W. sauce and serve over your steamed veggies while it’s piping hot! Well, that was a mouthful. Of course, this meal isn’t complete without a cup of the finest Alto wine… or even a couple. Hopefully these recipes were to your liking.
