Welcome back, Geeky Gluttons, to another episode of Munchies & Minis!
For those just joining us, Munchies & Minis is a live Twitch cooking show where I make a tabletop or Dungeons & Dragons-inspired snack and then paint a miniature. To kick the first season off, I decided to start @RaineRysa‘s #52WeeksofDnD fanart challenge. Two weeks ago we made some Rat King Cheesy Pasta Fritters for the challenge word “Ratfolk.” ”This last week’s challenge word was “Dragon.”
You’d think a word rife with creative possibilities would be easy to figure out. You’d think that. That was the precise reason why it most certainly was not. I know one thing, though, I wanted to base my recipe on the Chromatic Dragons. For those unfamiliar with the term, a Chromatic Dragon in D&D is one of the evil, non-metallic colored dragons with the breath of fire, poison, electricity, ice, or acid depending on its variety.
I vacillated between chromatic rock candy (which would’ve taken too long to do) and chromatic dragon cake pops (which would also take too long to do.) It was when I realized that the Game of Thrones show finale is fast approaching. Why not have a recipe versatile to both franchises, I thought? That’s why I decided to make cheese balls that not only resemble dragon eggs but also feature flavors associated with their chromatic dragon counterpart.
Black dragons disintegrate their enemies with acid, so a lemon-garlic egg coated in poppy and sesame seeds seemed fitting. The classic red dragon is a fire-breather, so it makes sense its egg would also burn your tastebuds with gochujang and smoked paprika. Finally, the green dragon’s poisonous nature is bittersweet with matcha and honey, and intoxicatingly delicious with almonds and nutmeg.
