Guava Glazed Sweet Potato Wedges with WalnutsThese are just so delicious and deliciously easy.  They are slightly unusual, in so much that they have decidedly tropical flavors.  Guava is sweet, but with a nice little tang that works really well with sweet potatoes.  Continue reading →

Creamy Herb, Garlic and Lemon SpreadI love Boursin™ cheese, and I make a pretty decent facsimile, Almost Boursin Cheese Spread (Almost!) in a previous post.  So anyway, I was sitting, sipping and musing.  Goddesses do that sometimes.  You should try it.  The things one thinks up…and this was one of those things.  Continue reading →

Spiced, Braised Pork Shoulder with Roasted PineappleThe Spicy Honey took me to Doce Provisions for my birthday.  It’s a nice little place, with an interesting and delicious menu.  Their “Lechon Asado Buns”, which they serve on bao, were heaven.  They were the inspiration for this, except I put the meat and pineapple on an arepa.  Continue reading →

Lemon-Vanilla Vinaigrette with Champagne VinegarI know you’re groaning about now…oh, no!  More citrus…at least this time it’s lemon.  And this is using my favorite, Meyer lemons.  The vanilla is surprisingly good in a vinaigrette.  We don’t use vanilla enough in savory things.  This will change all that!  Continue reading →

Portuguese-Style Tuna Steaks with OnionsI usually lean toward an Asian flavor profile when I make tuna steaks.  But, I just wasn’t feeling that today.  After our time in Portugal, I decided to wander in that direction.  More of a meander, really.  The main thing to remember with tuna, is to not over-cook it.  You want it crisp on the outside and very pink on the inside…and very delicious.  Continue reading →

Quick Garlic Aïoli

≈ Leave a comment

Tags

Chives, Garlic, lemon juice, Light mayonnaise, olive oil

Quick Garlic AïoliAïoli is something you need to know how to make.  It’s a basic mayonnaise, but with a good hit of garlic.  I don’t tend to make aïoli from scratch, because it doesn’t keep as well, as it contains raw egg yolks.  This version, which used purchased mayonnaise, keeps well, is more stable and is just plain delicious.   Continue reading →
