Flatbread Panini





The sweet tang of rolanberry cheese slathered on oven roasted dodo tenderloin with diced grilled maiden artichoke generously drizzled with fragrant olive oil... All settled between warm slightly grill toasted flatbread. This Limsa-Lominsan treat will leave a lasting memory of satisfaction as it's flavor melts your senses into a euphoric daze.


Recipe:


1x Olive oil
2x Flatbread
1x Dodo tenderloin
1x Maiden artichoke
1x Rolanberry cheese

2x Fire Crystal


1. Seek out Ifrit to provide a hellish fire for roasting that delictable dodo tenderloin(For those who seek the benefits of flame with less instances of life threatning circumtances... substitute this step with an easy bake oven, but in Gugnir that's how we roll)!
2. Pull out that Tonberry Chef's knife and dice up some maiden artichoke(Notorious Monster Tonberry Chef sold seperately).
3. Lightly drizzle olive oil on artichoke and grill.
4. Brush two slices of flatbread with olive oil and add to grill.
5. Layer tenderloin and artichoke on single flatbread.
6. Add a grenerous portion of Rolanberry cheese for a nice tangy kick.
7. Finish by adding the second layer of flatbread to the stack.


And then it's ready to be bundled into a picnic basket for a fun day at the beach with friends at the sandy shores of the always beautiful Limsa-Lominsa! A sight for me sore eyes! Yo-ho matey.



Don't worry ladies(and gentleman), this tasty treat is under 400 calories and you can keep that wonderful figure!

Qiqirn Almond Macaroons
• 1 cup of almonds
• 1 chicken egg
• 2 cups maple sugar
• ½ cup sunset wheat flour
• ⅓ cup vanilla beans
• 1 piece of bubble chocolate
• 1 rolanberry

I have infiltrated the qiqirn secret network to obtain this special recipe for almond macaroons.



This is a fun and easy recipe to make, with a lot of room for personal creativity. You have the choice of finely chopping the almonds or slicing them into halves, or a little bit of both! Once you have done that, combine with the maple sugar, egg, flour, and vanilla beans. Make sure you do this right after chopping the almonds to attain the most flavor from that lovely almond oil. Mix, mix, mix it up until you get a smooth, dry batter to work with



Roll the batter into little balls and cook with a fire shard until the cookies get a nice color to them. Or if you really want to make your cookies authentic… My reconnaissance has indicated that the qiqirn have taken to the adorable habit of shaping the cookies in the shape of themselves. Perhaps it has derived from the popular black mage shaped ginger cookies? I digress; here is where you will use that bubble chocolate and rolanberry. Cut two small pieces of chocolate for the eyes and a tiny piece of rolanbery for the nose. Finally, heat up the remaining chocolate and drizzle it over to make the qiqirn hood.



From careful observation, I have determined that these are a favorite snack amongst everyone’s favorite treasoor-seekers. I guarantee these cookies will calm a nervous qiqirn and coax it out of hiding with a delectable scent, causing you to be met with a pair of heart-melting bright eyes and an irrefutable duo of pink nose and whiskers. This is a great chance to ask about the latest rumoors regarding shinies and clink-clink.

Walnut-crusted Buffalo Sirloin with Aether-infused Rolanberry Sauce

This quick-and-easy recipe is great for first-time culinarians, making it perfect for getting the kids to help out with the cooking.

Ingredients

3 lbs. buffalo sirloin
4 cups fresh rolanberries
1 1/2 cups finely chopped Gridanian walnuts
1 cup mineral water
1/2 cup chopped shriekshrooms
3 tbsp. 100% organic clove oil

(Serves 6)

Preparing the Aether-infused Rolanberry Sauce

1. Obtain a large bowl with a warm aetheric energy. For this recipe, we highly recommend the Bowl of Embers.

• If using the Bowl of Embers, slaying Ifrit beforehand is an option but is not required. To slay Ifrit, simply use a sharp knife to dice Ifrit into small cubes.
  
• If preparing at home, you can achieve the same effect by leaving 3 fire clusters uncovered in a large bowl for 5-7 minutes. Note that doing so may generate mildly uncomfortable heat of up to 680 °C, so avoid overheating by opening a small window.

2. In the heated bowl, combine the rolanberries, mineral water, and desert saffron. Gently persuade a wild boar into stomping into the mixture until well blended. Set aside and let cool.

Preparing the Walnut Coating

3. In a large skillet, sauté the shriekshrooms for 2 minutes or until soft. Avoid overcooking as this may activate its natural toxins and release it into the atmosphere, killing millions.

4. Combine the shriekshrooms, Gridanian walnuts, and clove oil in a dodecahedral bowl to prevent mycoprotein aggregation (a choking hazard). Set aside.

Putting Everything Together

5. Dip the buffalo strips in the walnut mixture until evenly coated.

6. Cook the coated buffalo strips in a shallow skillet until cooked through. To test for doneness, simply consume a small piece. If you experience no negative physical reactions or death, the meat is ready to be served.

7. Arrange the buffalo strips diagonally along a clean macuahuitl. Place the bowl of aether-infused rolanberry sauce in the center of the macuahuitl and serve immediately. (If a macuahuitl is unavailable at the time of preparation, discard all prepared food immediately and repeat steps 1-6 with a macuahuitl prepared.)

Suggested wine pairing: Sour Red

1/2 cup dried rolanberries

---

2. Cut the ogre pumpkin into quarters and place on baking sheet. Roast for about one hour or until tender. Remove from oven and let cool.

3. Once cooled, peel skin from pumpkin and remove seeds and guts. Purée pumpkin flesh with pudding flesh for that extra-jiggly consistency!

4. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F.

5. In a large bowl, combine the purée, sweet cream, maple sugar, dodo eggs, and maple syrup. Mix well!

**Cooking time may need to be adjusted based on pudding element.

Ul'dahn Baklava
Chopped nuts bathed in the sweetness of honey and cinnamon, held between thin layers of dough. The traditional dessert of the Dunesfolk, usually prepared for birthday celebrations and marriage festivals. Many chefs who specialize in this dish are in fierce competition, often insinuating that their rivals use poor quality ingredients and inauthentic recipes.

So well-known is this confectionery that it has its own little turn of phrase: when speaking of a gluttonous or impulsive person, one might say they "have baklava with breakfast."

Ul'dahn Baklava (4)
1 Sack of Sunset Wheat Flour
1 Gridanian Walnut
1 Handful of Almonds
1 Pot of Honey
1 Stick of Cinnamon
1 Sprig of Cloves

Totorak's Swirl Brownies

1 Cream Cheese
1 Salted Butter
1 Sunset Wheat Flour
2 Bubble Chocolate
1 Chicken Egg
2 Maple Sugar

Mix Cream Cheese and 1 Maple Sugar until it has a creamy texture
Mix together 2 Bubble Chocolate, Sunset Wheat Flour, Chicken Egg, 1 Maple Sugar, and Salted Butter
Swirl Cream Cheese/Maple Sugar mixture into the Chocolate

Cook it until you're sure that you won't contract Salmonella and find out what Heaven tastes like. Alternatively, stick a knife in the chocolate part and if the chocolate doesn't stick to the knife... then you probably won't get Salmonella.



I guess a frying pan wasn't a good choice.

Lala-scout Cookies

Maki has free time right now because Maki is baking Maki's Lala-scout Cookies, so Maki will write down the recipe. Maki hopes Maki can sell the recipe for extra money. Maybe even under the table so Maki's fundraising scoutmaster doesn't get any. Note to Maki: Blot out the last sentence with permanent marker so the Internal Revenue Scouts learn nothing!

Ingredients
- A lot of rolanberries
- A little apkallu egg
- A little sunset wheat flour
- A lot of kukuru powder
- A little sweet cream
- A little mineral water
- A little love


Maki doesn't know how to measure things other than in lots and littles, but Maki thinks it's a pretty uniform standard, so there won't be any misunderstandings about how much of what to use.

Maki would like to point out that you should only add a little love. If you add a lot of love you won't have enough left to give to your boyfriend, and he will become jealous and think you're cheating on him with the cookies. Maki sometimes can't help Maki's self and cheats just a little, but Maki tries very hard to love cookies only so much. Only so much is equivalent to a little for those who need it in the basic metric system. Maki also has one more reason why you should only add a little love. Decrepit people are the foremost patrons of the Lala-scouts. (Maki just used big words! Maki's mommy will be so proud!) Decrepit people have discerning eyes! If they don't sense a little love there will be no sale! But if you use a lot of love they will want to become shuffleboard buddies! Maki can't stand shuffleboard! That's why Maki needs a boyfriend as an excuse! The only meaning in boyfriends is so you don't have to play shuffleboard! But Maki rambles.

Maki is in Limsa Lominsa's culinary guild known as the Bismarck. Maki...might not have permission to be here right now. In fact, Maki might have been labeled a filcher and not have permission at all, and may even be wearing a disguise right now.

Maki will start with the preparation Maki did. Maki will write what Maki did as an example. Do the same to make Lala-scout Cookies.

Maki first had to gather the materials written above under ingredients. Because Maki is such a good negotiator Maki got all the ingredients for free--not because Maki hired a Qiqirn to rob a local grocery store and then robbed the Qiqirn.

After that Maki cracked an apkallu egg into a bowl, and chopped up rolanberries and put them in the bowl, and Maki then dumped the rest of the things in the bowl, and Maki then mixed everything together to make the cookie dough, and this is not a run-on sentence because Maki is educated and would never write run-on sentences.

Maki unfortunately then had to come to the Bismarck because Maki apparently booked the only inn room without a range. Whenever Maki asks to transfer Maki is told the other rooms are filled. Maki suspects the innkeeper of something, though, because Maki can see a mysterious space with a boarded up wall, and the innkeeper also slipped in things like Maki should be quiet and not make anything in the room. Ever.

Maki secretly lets off Flares for revenge.

But Maki digresses again. Maki brought the cookie dough for Maki's Lala-scout Cookies to the Bismarck. Maki found a good furnace to use, but couldn't find any baking sheets. The iron bars of the grate were no good for setting the cookie dough, but Maki did see a dodo resting on the grate and being roasted, and Maki is pretty sure dodos take longer than cookies, so Maki decided to improvise. When no one was looking Maki grabbed the dodo to stuff balls of cookie dough inside, but Maki found all this bready stuff in the way. So Maki just pulled out all that tasteless-looking junk, tossed it into the fire, and placed the cookies inside.

And so Maki now waits writing this recipe... Maki wonders if it's been long enough yet.

Maki has been getting some smiles from a Roegadyn across the room. He suspects nothing of Maki, looking cute and innocent, scribbling on a piece of paper. Maki grins roguishly on the inside! Little does he know of the ban from this establishment the undisguised Maki has--... Um... Maki is totally not writing anything incriminating right now. Maki is just losing focus a little and not thinking quite straight.

It's because Maki is next to the nice, warm fire of the furnace. But Maki knows better than to fall asleep while cooking. Even if the fire is nice, and warm, and comfortable,
and cozy, and -~~---~----~--~~



...

Ah! Maki slept! And the dodo is gone! And...uh-oh, there's a commotion outside!

Abort mission! Abort mission! Maki is going to flee now!

______

Well, this is a few days later, and um... Well, Maki maybe botched the batch, and may or may not have caused the Bismarck to lose an entire star due to the dodo reaching a highly renowned food critic. But Maki knows better than to trust word on the street...and newspapers...and police records.

Maki thinks Maki made it pretty clear how to make Lala-scout Cookies. Even if Maki was kinda later apprehended that day and made to do dishes... Maki now realizes why a certain cunning Roegadyn who would have had dish duty kept smiling at Maki.
