Chokos

Chokos are something that I have recently started experimenting with.  Chokos are surprisingly easy to cook with, they can be eaten as both fruit and a vegetable, and take on the flavour of whatever they are cooked with. The sweet dishes I’ve had more success with.I’ve tried a couple of savoury dishes, which have tasted alright, but could have been better.  Surprisingly, Oscar hates green foods (he calls them “bits” and picks them out) and he hasn’t eaten the savoury dishes at home, but will have them at daycare. Poaching the chokos in a sugar syrup with vanilla and citric acid, gives them an apple taste.  They can then be eaten as is, with ice cream or custard, or used in recipes where apple might be used.  Today we made choko muffins.
