Have you tried plantain chips? They’re readily available here in South Florida, but I’ve gotten them in the Northeast, too. Anyway, you need to get yourself a bag, because they make a great “crumb” coating…really. Crush them up and add use them to coat chicken breasts, or as in this case, fish fillets. Oh yeah, they’re a great alternative to potato chips, too (and they are gluten free, as well!). Continue reading

This came together in no time at all. I was hungry for pizza. Really, more the flavor of pizza. Does that happen to you? Do you get hungry for certain flavors, too? Anyway, that what this was born of…the hunger for a flavor!
The Goddess was thinking about pizza for dinner or maybe a burger, but it was raining most convincingly. We’re talking monsoon, get-out-the-hip-waders! This was ark-building-type of downpour!…and this is the dry season in Florida…thank Goddess there’s no global warming…or the weather might be totally crazy! But, I digress.
Risotto is so good. It’s a one-pot meal, The Spicy Honey likes it and well, it seemed like just the thing for dinner tonight. At the store, the shrimp looked great, so the plan came together. Don’t you just love when that happens?
I was thinking about making sushi, but just didn’t get myself organized enough to manage that. This is sushi, but “unrolled” or deconstructed—layers of flavor. This is fork food. Chopsticks won’t work too well here, but the flavors are deliciously sushi.
The weather outside is frightful! Chili is just this thing to take a bite out of the cold. I know we’ve explored
Salmon, leeks and lemon are a lovely combination. I was going to make a cream-based sauce, but that just seemed too rich. I thought it would “muddy” the clean flavor of the salmon. This was light, very flavorful and rich enough. What more could a Goddess want?
Boneless chicken thighs are a natural for stuffing. The cheese-stuffed jalapeño is a perfect way to keep the cheese from oozing out of the thigh and giving the whole thing a nice little Zing!! A pan sauce, a Cuban tamale and dinner is served.
As I mentioned in the recent Czech-German Sauerkraut post, I served these lovely breasts with the sauerkraut, instead of the more traditional pork. Turns out, to be rather tasty and I will make this for The Latin Lover, sans the sauerkraut.
