Mango-Cabbage Slaw with Sweet Chile VinaigretteThis is a nice, fruity and lighter version of cole slaw.  In summer, I like to add mango, pineapple, peaches, or nectarines to cole slaw.  I dress this version with a sweet chile vinaigrette, which compliments the fruit just ever-so nicely.  It’s summery.  Continue reading →

Fish Fillets with a Plantain Chip, Pecan, Panko and Parmesan CrustThis is a wonderfully crispy, nutty crust, juxtaposed against the creaminess of the fish fillet.  The flavors play off of each other, bring cohesion to the dish, but still offer up a delightful textural quality.  According to The Spicy Honey, it’s a keeper recipe.  Continue reading →
