Paul Plascencia and Johana Álvarez are the co-owners of Corazón Helado (which is Spanish for "cold heart"), a beloved Mexican ice cream shop in Baltimore's Highlandtown neighborhood. They make all of their ice creams and fresh fruit ice pops (called paletas) in house, experimenting with traditional flavors and new combinations. Corazón Helado also sells churros as well as a new savory snack called "Dorilocos," which starts with cutting open a bag of Doritos and topping it with cucumbers, pork rinds, and peanuts. We highly suggest visiting their booth this weekend and indulging in a tasty treat!

GREAT PUMPKIN APPETIZER
Recipe From The Helmand
|
|
The Helmand is has been a part of Baltimore's dining scene for over 30 years. One of the most popular dishes in the restaurant's history is the Kaddo Bowrani (Baked Pumpkin) appetizer, served with yogurt sauce and a peppery flat bread. According to owner Qayum Karzai, this dish is a good representation of Afghan cooking traditions — namely using a lot of vegetables (especially squashes) and long, slow cooking because of limited refrigeration. Plus, it's delicious. The earthy sweetness of the baked pumpkin contrasts beautifully with the sharpness of the fresh garlic and cool yogurt. Best of all, you can pick up the ingredients this week at the farmers' market, and whip up this recipe at home!
For pumpkin:
- 1 small pumpkin (baby or spookies work best)
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- Cinnamon
For yogurt sauce:
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1 teaspoon fresh-cut diced garlic
- dash salt
Using the instructions at the button below, you'll be able to whip up this seasonally-inspired appetizer whenever you like!
