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

Peruvian cuisine is wonderful. If you have a Peruvian restaurant near you, and haven’t tried it. Go. Go right now. Peruvian roast chicken is magic and magically delicious. But today we’re making Chaufa Rice, Peru’s version of Chinese fried rice. It’s simple. It’s delicious. And it also happens to be a great way to use leftover chicken or pork, if you don’t have fresh.

First of all, you’re going to need to read through the recipe for Cuban-Style Black Beans à la Pressure Cooker, because I’m not going to give you a recipe, because it’s the same. This is about technique and cooking times, using the pressure cooker feature on my multi-cooker…it’s a wonder, I tell ya’…. Continue reading

I 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

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

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

The key to a successful stir-fry, is a hot wok and having your mis en place, in place (pun totally intended!). Have everything sliced and diced before you even put the pan on the stove. Then, turn on the exhaust fan and crank the heat! Continue reading

This was our Friday night pizza. I’ve made it before, but it had slipped my mind, but Hot Dog Pizza is just a hot dog, deconstructed into pizza form. Why not? It tastes great and kids (of all ages) love it. It’s perfect for the weekend, for kid or adult sleep-overs, and Super Bowl Sunday! Are you sensing a theme here? Continue reading

The Goddess was thinking about pizza for dinner or maybe a burger, but it was raining most convincingly. We’re talking monsoon, get-out-the-hip-waders! This was ark-building-type of downpour!…and this is the dry season in Florida…thank Goddess there’s no global warming…or the weather might be totally crazy! But, I digress. Continue reading

Risotto is so good. It’s a one-pot meal, The Spicy Honey likes it and well, it seemed like just the thing for dinner tonight. At the store, the shrimp looked great, so the plan came together. Don’t you just love when that happens? Continue reading
