Vinaigrette de España

11 Saturday Sep 2021

Posted by The Gourmet Goddess in Gluten Free, Spanish, Vegetarian, Vinaigrettes

≈ Leave a comment

Tags

capers, Dijon mustard, frozen orange juice concentrate, Garlic, honey, olive oil, sherry vinegar

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is img_9982.jpgFrankly, most Spaniards drizzle a little really good olive oil and a few drops of vinegar over their greens, and call it a day.  They probably wouldn’t use this.  But, I’m not a Spaniard and these are all flavors they tend to use, so there you have it.  Anyway, it’s good!  Continue reading →

Spanish-Style Braised Monkfish in Roasted Pepper-Saffron Sauce

21 Friday Feb 2020

Posted by The Gourmet Goddess in Braising, Gluten Free, Monkfish, Peppers

≈ 1 Comment

Tags

capers, clam juice, dry sherry, Garlic, Leeks, marcona almonds, Monkfish, olive oil, olives, roasted peppers, sweet smoked paprika

Monkfish is an ugly, ugly fish, but I have memories of watching Julia years ago, with this massive, ugly fish, holding it up by the tail.  When I’ve prepared it, I wasn’t happy with the results…I’ve grilled it, sautéed it, roasted it and while the flavor was nice, the texture was not to my liking.  Let’s just say, it was a little too chewy.  It always seemed underdone.  Then, I tried braising it.  Bingo!  From now on, this is my go-to way to cook monkfish.

Caponata with a Twist

01 Sunday Sep 2019

Posted by The Gourmet Goddess in Appetizers, Eggplant, Gluten Free, Make Ahead, Side Dishes, Vegetarian

≈ Leave a comment

Tags

bell peppers, capers, currants, Eggplant, garlic granules, herbs, leek, pistachios, pomegranate molasses, Tomatoes, white wine

Caponata is incredibly delicious.  It is the perfect end-of-the-summer-garden dish to prepare.  This version “twisted” or “evolved”, as I was searching through the garden.  Only it’s roots are traditional.  Then it wanders.  And it wanders into pretty, delicious territory.  Continue reading →

Quick and Easy Tuna Melts

14 Sunday Jul 2019

Posted by The Gourmet Goddess in Cheese, Comfort Food, Gluten Free Option, Quickies (It's not what you think!), Sandwiches, Tuna

≈ 1 Comment

Tags

Bread, canned tuna, capers, celery seeds, Dijon mustard, Fontina cheese, lemon juice, lemon zest, mayonnaise, oregan, Pickles, red onions, tomato slices

Quick and Easy Tuna MeltI’ve always liked the idea of tuna melts.  I really do, but you know, sometimes when you heat canned tuna, it develops an unpleasant fishy taste.  The Goddess hates fishy.  The Latin Lover hates fishy.  But, I’m happy to tell you, this works well.  It’s quick to fix and doesn’t heat up the kitchen, when the temperature outside soars…and it’s delicious.  Continue reading →

Cuban-Style Picadillo

Tags

beef broth, bell peppers, capers, diced tomatoes, dry white wine, Garlic, green olives, Ground beef, Onions, raisins, sherry vinegar, Spices, tomato paste

Cuban-Style PicadilloEvery Cuban woman (or man, I suppose) knows how to make Picadillo.  It’s quick and delicious, but it’s never as good as “mami makes”!  Some things transcend cultures, don’t they?  I learned how to make this from my mother-in-law and from The Latin Lover’s great-aunt, both damn fine cooks.  It’s a very valuable recipe to have.  Continue reading →

Salisbury Steak with Mushroom, Onion and Caper Sauce

arrowroot, Bread, capers, Garlic, ground chuck, ketchup, Mushrooms, Onions, red wine, Shallots, stock, Swiss cheese

Salisbury Steak with Mushroom, Onion and Caper SauceSalisbury Steak is just a lovely way of saying that we’re looking at a thick hamburger “steak” with gravy.  And I’m all over that.  I hate those thick burgers, that in order to eat them you have to unhinge your jaw, like a python.  I always eat those types of burgers with a knife and fork anyway, so why not add some terrific gravy?  Continue reading →

Goddess of the Sea Cakes

broth, butter, capers, Celery, cooked shrimp, dried potato flakes, Fennel, fresh herbs, frozen peas, garlic granules, imitation crab meat, Leeks, lemon juice, lemon zest, milk, panko crumbs, parmesan cheese, pecans, rice flour, Scallions, vegetable oil

Goddess of the Sea CakesI really do so enjoy imitation crab meat.  I know it’s not crab meat.  I just like it.  It’s never fishy when it’s heated.  It has a nice consistency, it’s easy to work with and it just tastes so good.  And it was really good in these patties.  Continue reading →

Portuguese-Style Tuna Steaks with Onions

capers, dry white wine, Garlic, green olives, lemon juice, Lentils, olive oil, Onions, rice flour, Spices, tuna steaks

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 →

Condimento Picado

capers, fresh herbs, lemon zest, red onion

Poached Salmon with Condimento PicadoMoment of truth?  This is really a garnish.  In actuality, it’s a garnish that’s a relish, but “Condimento Picado” just sounds so much better than “Minced Relish”, doesn’t it?  This is a perfect, tailor-made quick garnish/relish to add a punch of flavor to almost any plain, or simply prepared, protein.    Continue reading →

Twisted Chicken ParmesanThis was the answer to The Latin Lover’s inquiry, “What are you planning for dinner?”  This sort of just popped into my head.  It went together quickly and had great flavor. Continue reading →
