Mystery Box Madness December '14

It's time for our second Mystery Box Madness.  The first MBM challenge was so much fun! It was so interesting to see which chefs were celebrated, as well as the ingredients chosen, and the way in which those ingredients were combined! This month's Mystery Box Madness ingredients are equally exciting and we can't wait to see how the ingredients lend themselves. 


chocolate
cherries
cinnamon
rolled oats
couscous
pomegranate
curry
coconut milk
lentils
hot peppers/chiles

You get to choose any dish from our current guest chef, Diana Henry, or any one of our previous ten IHCC chefs:

Nigella Lawson
Mark Bittman
Giada de Laurentiis
Jamie Oliver
Tessa Kiros
Rick Bayless
Madjur Jaffrey
Yotam Ottolenghi
Donna Hay
Nigel Slater


So where's the challenge? - your dish must contain at least three of our mystery ingredients!!

Sounds like fun, doesn't it?!  So put your thinking cap on, get those cookbooks off the shelf, and make and post your dish by Sunday, December 14th.  Please remember to link a thumbnail image and leave a comment after you link so that we don't miss out on your dish.

New to IHCC?  Need help linking up?  Check out our Welcome page.  If you have any questions please leave a comment below and we will get back with you.

    LOVED my Diana Henry tuna and couscous dish that used four of the mystery ingredients. So good! ;-)
