Summer Fruit “Crudo” with Basil

27 Sunday Jun 2021

Posted by The Gourmet Goddess in Condiments, Fruit, Gluten Free, Make Ahead, Quickies (It's not what you think!), Vegetarian

apricot preserves, Bing cherries, fresh herbs, lime juice, lime zest, Mango, Peaches, Strawberries

Summer Fruit "Crudo" with BasilThis should probably be called a salsa.  But then most people conjure up a flavor profile of tomatoes, onions, peppers, with maybe a bit of fruit tossed in.  That’s not this…at all.  I’m serving this with very simply prepared fish, but it’s all about the fruit mixture.  I could seriously eat the whole bowl.  Just standing there, leaning up against the cupboard…it’s that good.  Continue reading →

boneless chicken breasts, broth, chile flakes, cilantro, cumin, Garlic, lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, peanut butter, Peppers, roasted sesame oil, Scallions, sweet soy sauce

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is img_3859.jpgI saw this on a Facebook page I follow.  It looked so delicious and we haven’t had chicken.  My version is based on a Jamie Oliver recipe, but I roamed pretty freely from his version.  You know, The Goddess is a born culinary wanderer.  Continue reading →

bay scallops, bell pepper, Cashews, cilantro, coconut milk, diced tomatoes, fresh ginger, Garlic, ghee, lime juice, lime zest, lobster, Mango, onion, Shrimp, Spices

Seafood Coconut Curry with MangoI’ve been thinking about Indian food recently.  Obsessing really.  This is what usually sends me off on a recipe search.  Picture The Goddess, crawling in camo through her jungle of cookbooks and the Inter”Webs”, in search of ideas.  That’s an image, isn’t it?  In this case, there wasn’t really a search.  It just sort of came together, and I had leftover shrimp and lobster…see how that works?  Continue reading →

≈ 2 Comments

Tags

apple, cooked chicken breasts, Corn, Dried Fruit, hearts of palm, honey, lime juice, lime zest, mayonnaise, potato sticks, Scallions, sour cream

Chicken Salad, Brazilian-StyleThe Brazilians add corn to things.  We don’t usually add corn to our hot dogs, but they do…Yup, hot dogs.  As well as, those yummy little potato sticks.  So, this is different, but it is a wonderful version of chicken salad.  It’s creamy, has a nice pure flavor, a little crunch at the end.  It’s just flat-out delicious.  Continue reading →

Chicken Burgers with Scallions, Ginger and Thai Flavors

Tags

carrot, fish sauce, fresh herbs, Garlic, ginger, ground chicken, lime juice, lime zest, Persian cucumbers, Thai chili sauce

Chicken Burgers with Scallions, Ginger and Thai FlavorsThe Goddess has never been all that enamored with chicken burgers per se.  Having said that, these beauties are different.  Chicken burgers tend toward the dry, but not these babies.  They are jam-packed with flavor, and the Thai chili sauce and cucumbers add that sweet and extra crunch that is just ooooh! so lovely.  Continue reading →

Baked Chicken Breasts with Mojito SauceI’m sorry I haven’t posted anything recently, but my trusty laptop crashed.  I couldn’t believe it, but such is life.  So I have a new laptop and I’m up and running again, so I promise to make it up to you.  And this recipe is the perfect way to begin.  The mojito is a staple Cuban libation.  This sauce is a keeper, even for those that think they aren’t crazy about mint.   Continue reading →

Balinese Shallot and Lemongrass Matah (Sambal Matah)

fish sauce, Garlic, ginger, hot chilies, kaffir lime leaves, lemongrass, lime juice, lime zest, Shallots, sweet soy sauce, vegetable oil

Balinese Shallot and Lemongrass Matah (Sambal Matah)This condiment, Sambal Mahtah, is spectacularly delicious.  It’s spicy, sweet, a little hot and just slightly crunchy.  This came to my attention via Trader Joe’s™.  They sell some amazingly delicious products, but they discontinued their Sambal Mahtah.  Well, what’s a girl to do?  She needs to come up with her own version.  Continue reading →

cabbage, cilantro, cucumber, frozen orange juice concentrate, lime juice, lime zest, Mango, mayonnaise, pineapple, red onion, Scallions, vinegar

Tropical SlawThink of this cole slaw as a “monsoon” of tropical flavors…pineapple, mango, orange…need I say more?  Okay, maybe I do, but you’re going to want to slap this on some fish tacos or anything seafood-y.  Or just have it for breakfast.  Continue reading →
