Roasted Radishes w/ Garlic & Thyme
At a recent trip to an Indian restaurant, I had a delicious dish of tomatoes, potatoes and radishes. I’d never had anything but raw radishes before (in fact, I’d never even contemplated cooked radishes), but they were really good; the cooking makes them a lot less bitter. After reading this article in the NYTimes about […]
Basil & White Bean Dip
Basil & White Bean Dip I like chumus but have been wanting to try a white bean dip for a while. I made my ginger, basil & pine nut crusted salmon earlier this week and had some leftover basil, so I decided on a basil &white bean dip. All I used was a can of […]
Basil, Ginger & Pine Nut Crusted Salmon
I love doing crusted fish; it adds such a great texture, and you can do so much with different flavors. Last night, I decided on one of my favorite flavor combinations–basil, ginger, garlic & pine nut. It’s pretty much a pesto coating, with ginger added for an extra little kick. I used my immersion blender […]
Recipe Remix: Indian Spiced BBQ Tofu
For dinner a few nights ago I wanted something quick and easy, but also delicious. I’ve had some garam masala sitting in my cabinet that I’ve been using much more slowly than the other spices from my Penzey’s purchase (smoked paprika, mustard seed, sesame seeds, spicy cinnamon, Aleppo pepper), so I decided to do another […]
Smoky Rosemary & Fire-Roasted Tomato Beef Stew
The 2010 April Daring Cooks challenge was hosted by Wolf of Wolf’s Den. She chose to challenge Daring Cooks to make Brunswick Stew. Wolf chose recipes for her challenge from The Lee Bros. Southern Cookbook by Matt Lee and Ted Lee, and from the Callaway, Virginia Ruritan Club. This month’s challenge didn’t really appeal to […]
Creamy Edamame Dip
I had intended to make a cilantro chumus for my St. Patrick’s Day Dinner Party, but a quick look in my pantry revealed I was out of chickpeas! Plan B: I had a bag of shelled edamame from Trader Joe’s in my freezer, and although I had never tried it before, I figured, how bad […]
Unstuffed Cabbage
My mom and I love stuffed cabbage, but it can be pretty time consuming, so she started making unstuffed cabbage, where she layered cabbage leaves and the ground meat filling, then baked it in the oven. My version of unstuffed cabbage is even easier–the same principle flavors, you just add chopped cabbage to the filling […]
St. Patrick’s Day Dinner Party: Guinness Braised London Broil
All I can say is, yum. Beer + red meat is an unbelievably delicious combination. I let the meat soak up my sweet & spicy Guinness marinade for a full 24 hours, and wow. But don’t take my word for it, try it yourself! Note: You can easily make this gluten free by substituting a […]
20 Below: Basil, Ginger & Garlic Stuffed Chicken
