The Goddess has been harking back to her roots recently. Perhaps it was “The Purge”, as she affectionately refers to the process of ridding herself of years of accumulated junk treasures. That, and the fact that she adores sauerkraut. Continue reading

The Goddess is in apple pie mode these days. She likes to reduce apple cider to add to the apples to really give an apple-y blast! She’s very explosive, you know! This vinaigrette was born from that reduction. Continue reading

I was reading a blog the other day, and I ran across something called Pašticada. So, what’s this about? Not being Croatian, this was new to me, but from what I was reading, this dish is a pretty big deal. For the non-Croatian palate, this may seem like an odd combination of flavors to use with beef—lemons, nutmeg, cloves, prunes and other dried fruit—all braised slowly in red wine and plum brandy.

basamic vinegar, black pepper, Dijon mustard, fresh herbs, kosher salt, lemon juice, olive oil, Shallots, sriracha, Tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce
This isn’t exactly a salsa in the Mexican-dip-for-tortilla chips sense, but more of an uncooked, chunky thick sauce…maybe a dressing? But, no matter what you call it, it’s a nice change of pace and it’s delicious. It’s great over a steak, on a burger or even on chicken. This is just perfect for summer, when tomatoes come rolling in. Continue reading

I had falafel for lunch last week and I was reminded how much I love that flavor profile. I also noticed how nice and crispy the exterior was, so The Goddess, having a mind like a steel trap, thought, ‘hmmm…I wonder how a falafel mix would work for coating fish?” Continue reading

Unless your roots lie in Italy, polenta may be pretty unfamiliar. It certainly was for The Goddess. But, she’s a convert. This is a great starting place, if you’ve never made polenta. You can do this and polenta with corn and cheese is just so delicious. Continue reading

canned tomatoes, capers, fish stock, fresh herbs, fresh tuna, Garlic, green olives, lemon zest, olive oil, onion, raisins, toasted nuts
Fresh tuna steaks, the thicker the better, are usually seared in a screaming hot cast iron skillet. They are usually served with just a simply sauce. This version is different and this is no ordinary sauce. The tuna is briefly and gently simmered in a lovely, tomato-based, sweet and sour sauce. Continue reading
