carrot, fennel bulb, Garlic, herbs, Lentils, Mandarins, olive oil, onion, tomato

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is img_6965-2.jpgOver the years, I’ve gotten considerably more fond of lentils.  They are so much more than just soup.  I love lentil salads.  And that’s almost what this is (and can be!).  It makes a great backdrop for a piece of grilled salmon, cod or Branzino.  And that’s what we’re doing with it today.

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is img_3775-e1617655091507.jpgThe Goddess adores pickled things and this is a favorite.  These are fast, easy and delicious.  It’s is one of “those” condiments.  You want to have a jar of these beauties in the fridge at all times.  There are so, so, so many ways to use Pickled Red Onions.  Continue reading →

This is an extraordinary pot roast.  I was thinking about our trip to Portugal and remembering some of the fabulous meals we enjoyed, hence the Port, the oranges and the cherries.  This seemed like just the thing to use for our Zoom dinner with friends to celebrate getting the vaccine.  Everything is relative and one has to find joy in the little things.

Slow-Roasted Lamb with Middle Eastern-Flavors

02 Friday Apr 2021

Posted by The Gourmet Goddess in Gluten Free, Lamb, Main Course, Make Ahead, Middle Eastern Flavors, Slow-Roasting, Spices

≈ 3 Comments

Tags

bay leaves, leg of lamb, red wine, Spices

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is img_3502.jpgI love lamb.  I have always felt that the reason others don’t enjoy it, is because they’ve had over-cooked lamb.  Gray-colored meat is all that appetizing to anyone.  Admittedly, lamb has a distinct flavor and can be a tad gamey…maybe that’s why I like it so much!  Continue reading →

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is img_4346.jpgI enjoyed this lovely soup at the Worcester Museum of Art, in Massachusetts.  Their café is a lovely place for lunch and their signature Pear and Wild Mushroom Soup is a must try it.  It just stood out, so how could I not try it?  Oh, I’m so happy I did, because it’s absolutely delicious.  And is the inspiration for this lovely elixir.

Celery, Date and Almond Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette

We tend to overlook celery much too often.  Oh sure, we eat celery stick with Buffalo wings and on veggie trays with dips.  But they don’t really let celery shine, do they?  In this salad, celery has the starring roll. This is delicious for a dinner party and is best made several hours before serving.  Trust me when I tell you, your guests will want more! Continue reading →

≈ 5 Comments

bell peppers, dry white wine, green olives, Lemon, lemon juice, Onions, orange juice, Spices, whitefish fillets

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is img_3539.jpgSicilian cooking is really fusion cooking.  The Moors were in Sicily in the 10th and 11th centuries, and they brought all kinds of good things, like, apricots, sugar, citrus, sweet melons, rice, saffron, raisins, nutmeg, clove, pepper, pine nuts and cinnamon.  This recipe is sort of an homage to the Moorish presence.

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is img_1771.jpgI haven’t cooked a veal breast in years.  The last one I made was stuffed and it was good, but….  Well, let’s put it this way, it didn’t make my taste buds do cartwheels.  This one, which is based on Jacques Pépin’s recipe, does!  Continue reading →

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is img_8564-2-e1611524829864.jpgThis is a nice change of pace from regular rice.  Truth be told, The Goddess isn’t too enamored with rice.  Oh, it has its purpose.  Rice is good as a sponge to suck up sauces, but The Goddess will always, always take potatoes.  But, this rice…mmmmm!  This rice pilaf is delicious.   Continue reading →

Not Hollandaise Sauce Sauce

≈ 2 Comments

Tags

cayenne pepper, cornstarch, half and half, heavy cream, lemon juice, lemon zest, tarragon, whole egg, whole milk

No, you didn’t misread that.  This is “almost” hollandaise sauce.  It looks like it.  It tastes like it…so what’s the deal?  Well, no butter!  Yes!  Now you’re asking, why, for the love of all that’s holy in the kitchen, wouldn’t you want butter in a hollandaise sauce?  Let’s face it, hollandaise has to be made last minute…it really does.  It doesn’t reheat well and it’s a bit on the rich side, right?  This has all the really good properties of a real-deal hollandaise sauce, but without the drawbacks…and you can have more without feeling like over-stuffed!
