almonds, beef broth, bell peppers, Bread, chuck steak, fresh herbs, Garlic, honey, olive oil, olives, Onions, plum tomatoes, sherry vinegar, Spices, white wine

Iberian Peninsula Braised BeefThis sauce is incredibly complex and absolutely delicious, with flavors leaning well into Spain and wandering just a bit into Portugal.  Sherry vinegar, smoked paprika, cinnamon, olives, orange and almonds are significant players in both countries, tracing their roots back to the Moorish habitation of the peninsula for some 700 years.  Make certain you have good bread to mop.  You don’t want to miss a drop!

Papa Rellena Stuffed PeppersI love stuffed peppers.  I didn’t always, but the I grew up.  And now I do.  I love the sweetness of the pepper, after it roasts.  I seem to always like whatever is stuffed into them.  It always seems to work.  And these Papa Rellena Stuffed Peppers…baby, do they ever work!  Continue reading →

Garlic, herbs, olive oil, olives, orange zest, red pepper flakes, smoked paprika

Olives Marinated with Orange, Garlic, Red Pepper & RosemaryWhen you put out a bowl of good olives, they always seems to disappear quickly, don’t they?  When I put these little orbs of tastiness out to nibble, with drinks, before dinner, they fly out of the bowl!  If you’re lucky enough to have some left, they are mighty delicious strewn over a salad.  Continue reading →

South-of-the-Border Bean Salad (or Salsa)You’ve heard about Texas Caviar, Cowboy Caviar, Bean Dip or whatever, right?  You  probably make it or at the very least, have eaten it.  This isn’t exactly that…it’s really a riff on my mother’s Three Bean Salad and we could consider it “friends” with my Three Bean Salad with Potatoes and Corn.  What makes this salad different?  It has those lovely Tex-Mex flavors.  I’m not a big fan of beans and rice, but give me a bean salad and I’m there to the very end…of the bowl!  Chips are good, too.  Continue reading →

Picadillo with Black Beans and Ripe PlantainsPicadillo is a favorite of The Latin Lover and the Progeny.  We like it a bit on the soupier side, because we serve it with or over rice and usually black beans and fried ripe plantains (maduros).  So The Goddess decided to throw caution to the wind and combine these flavors.  I mean, why not?

Sicilian Fish with Caramelized Oranges, Tomato, Capers, and OlivesIs this really Sicilian?  Perhaps, if The Goddess lived in a Sicilian village she would be making this dish, with many of the flavors—tomato, capers, olives, garlic, orange (there it is again!) and some fennel—that are so prevalent in Sicilian cooking.  This turned out to be delicious, so she will be making this frequently.  Continue reading →
