This is particularly delicious with fish, seafood or pork. The thing I like about this, is that even though it’s nice Thanksgiving side dish, it’s wonderful when fresh apricots are in season. It’s quick, easy and totally delicious. Continue reading

This is a wonderful dish. The onions are just slightly charred, a tad burned, if you will. Turbot is a wonderful fish. It’s just slightly meaty and a bit on the sweet side. It lends itself well to sauces, and this lemongrass-laced sauce is perfect with it. Continue reading

Since so many of us grill more over the summer, I thought I would just pass this “custom” BBQ sauce along to you. This is one of those recipes that is ever-changing. It is intended to be personalized to your flavor preferences, but no matter what, it’s just a great sauce to make ahead or at a moments notice. Continue reading

Flavored hummus seems to be all the rage these days. And with good reason. It’s very tasty stuff. Peas and mint are a natural combination. The lovely cool green just screams summer. Continue reading

In my recipe box, this is called “Southern Confetti Salad”. And it does look like confetti, doesn’t it? But, that doesn’t really tell us much about this salad. It is a great option for a summer picnic salad, as it’s both easy and can sit out for a bit. But, it’s just as good in the dead of winter, with two feet of snow on the ground. Did I mention that it’s also delicious? Continue reading

I know you’re groaning about now…oh, no! More citrus…at least this time it’s lemon. And this is using my favorite, Meyer lemons. The vanilla is surprisingly good in a vinaigrette. We don’t use vanilla enough in savory things. This will change all that! Continue reading

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

Banana Bread is delicious, but it’s particularly delicious with toasted nuts and chocolate. This one’s boozed up, even though I may have this for breakfast. Toasted with butter….MMMMM! Continue reading

I 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

Aïoli is something you need to know how to make. It’s a basic mayonnaise, but with a good hit of garlic. I don’t tend to make aïoli from scratch, because it doesn’t keep as well, as it contains raw egg yolks. This version, which used purchased mayonnaise, keeps well, is more stable and is just plain delicious. Continue reading
