The other day I got Hungry Girl's Newsletter in my inbox. Something caught my eye...a savory trifle! I forwarded the recipe to two people: one I thought would love it (Eden of Eden's Eats), and the other I thought would hate it (Derek of SmoothieGirlHusbandFame). Even though Derek loves his grandmother's REAL and traditional English Sherry Trifle recipe, he was shockingly supportive of this crazy idea of putting savory ingredients into a trifle bowl. Eden of course, was not just supportive, but she said "Hey, let's make one tomorrow!" So she came over for lunch and we went to town throwing pretty much everything from the fridge into this trifle. In the mix:
Method:
I see this as the love-child of a Hugh Jass salad and a protein-packed stirfry, only prettier. Heckyeah for cross-breeding. Photos...  |

I'm super BUTT hurt that I was not invited! :-(
But I suppose it's a good thing because I would grab that trifle and run off so that I can have it all to myself. It's gorgeous!!
Love layered things...food, clothes, etc. What to add? To yours nothing else but other ideas for layers: tomato tartare, baba ghanoush, egg whites and so much more.
Must try the cauliflower-ed rice too.
Great kitty pics and captions as always. Samantha as quality control or "I have seniority so I get first dibs on droppings"?
so does that trifle come with a hot chef too? Eden, you know how to work the camera. ;)
But seriously, this is good, like made today gone tonight GOOD!
Def the sashimi, avacado, cuke, seaweed, and then some shredded carrots, bok choy, julienned romaine, bean sprouts, tobiko, crab, shrimp (me like protein!!), black seasame seeds, edamame (shelled).. i am in LOVE with this idea! AND my tummy is grumblin'
That is gorgeous! I need a trifle in my life. I would put mashed potatoes, sour cream, cheese, chives, bacon, corn, grilled chicken and carrots in mine. (Real healthy right?)
Or make a layered salad! I've done that before but didn't have the right dish to serve it in. That would be fun too!
Oooooooo that looks good! x x
That looks A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. - must try! May experiment with lentils... x
This really does look amazing...I've only recently started to appreciate sashimi and this is one unique way to make it!
I'm jealous of your time in PS! I hope to come visit you there soon...
Sophia- let's do a kimchi trifle some time!
McIntish- Mmm baba ganoush!
Linds- yes, Eden is a natural supermodel!
Kate- me like protein too and me like your ideas! Must look up Tobiko!?
Amanda- ok I'd be lying if I didn't admit that I like the sound of your trifle better than ours! Trifle bowls are so fun!
Tam- it was!
Fondant- yes on the lentils!
Ameena- PS absolutely!
I am going to try that trifle out! Time to track down some sashimi!
Love your trifle. And now I have an uncontrollable feeling that I NEED a trifle bowl RIGHT NOW! The possibilities are endless. It's so pretty. Wonder if I can convince hubby and the toddler to stop by Crate and Barrel after the gym????
Whoa super cool idea! I love trifles and I love sushi, though I think I would be weirded out by eating this. I've never turned down food though :)
My savory trifle would probably be like mexican 7 layer dip...nom nom nom.
Hah! I'm late on commenting on this post! But I have a good reason!
Dear lord Amanda nailed it with her trifle! I say we attempt another savory trifle soon and invite her.
Derek needs to make me a trifle! Maybe even one for loulou because he lurves them too. And yes, I'm sure Derek is reading so I'm not even gonna drop hints I want his trifle, I'm just flat out writing it.
Man I could eat that whole thing easily!! I may would add to this some type of bean like lentils or chickpeas or feta cheese and chicken sprinkled with my favorite Cavenders greek seasoning.
Love the quality control patrol. That freaked my hubby out when we dated - my baby, Sinbad, would lay in my kitchen sink (dry & stainless steel, guess he liked the coolness) and sit on my countertops. My hub is a germ freak and that blew his mind! Of course me and Sinbad would share ice cream or tuna - never bothered me a bit!!
Missy
Andrea- you would use that bowl all the time. Wms SOnoma here you come!
Eden- Not that the sashimi one wasn't great and all of the other ones in our future, but yes, Amanda's rocks the house.
Missy- ha- hilarious about Sinbad & your hubby. Samantha has a thing for sinks too. Sleeps in every one we have. I've shared an ice cream cone with my cats. Just for the record though, we are raising Ellie totally differently- she's not allowed on tables or countertops- when we were young 'parents' with Samantha, we didn't know any better! :-)
love that idea! that would be a great sushi fix at home. mmm... never though of doing a savory trifle before, great idea!
HECK YES! this is genius :) i love your events with eden and janetha! next time i'm invited because i say so!
Julie! You bet- I'm sure there's a JFK-PSP plane to hop!! :-)
Holly- I wish it was my genius, but I need to give the nod to HG for it!
This is beautiful; Wow! Very creative and I love it. Such a fun idea..
I didnt even know what a trifle was until very recently when i saw all kinds of them on other foodie blogs. And i know they can be sweet or savory.
And have been seeing your trip to P.S. with Eden and Janetha on her blog...just catching up b/c I am traveling right now myself but you look GREAT Deb, from the pics on J's blog...just lookin' awesome!
that looks scrumptious - personal chef worthy! Zero deprivation.
