Beets with Tahini

Posted in Book Recipes, Food, Green VegetablesLeave a comment

I had dinner at Zahav in Philadelphia recently. It’s a very popular Israeli restaurant with tons of acclaim and awards. It was a fantastic meal with lots of small vegetable appetizers, some delicious hummus tahini, and very good lamb shoulder and chicken (the dessert on the other hand was not exactly my cup of tea).…… Continue reading Beets with Tahini

I crave this salad so much. Finally I managed to replicate it at home. Let me back out a bit. I travel a bit for my work and a few years ago I had a project in Portland, Oregon. A lovely city with amazing food scene and tons of restaurants. One of my regular places…… Continue reading A Salad of Radicchio, Lardons, Green Goddess Dressing and 6-Minute Egg

This is a rare post for me. I cooked this for dinner tonight. Typically it takes me weeks or even months before getting back to something I want to blog about. This dish was simple, delicious and looked great that I figured I’ll get off my lazy behind and post it here. I picked up…… Continue reading Salmon, Cauliflower and Citronette

Oven-Roasted Cod, White Bean Relish and Cabbage

Posted in Fish, Food, Green Vegetables, Legumes2 Comments

Cod is a bit tricky to cook unless one wants to batter it and deep fry it. We love the mild flavor and large tender flakes of a well cooked piece of cod. Cod has very little connective tissue and large meat “flakes”. So it tends to fall apart if you handle it too much…… Continue reading Oven-Roasted Cod, White Bean Relish and Cabbage

Brunch Gazpacho

Two “Spanish” dishes in a row? well, actually my favorite go-to gazpacho recipe is not from a Spanish book. It’s from David Leite’s lovely The New Portuguese table cookbook. So, let’s say this is Portuguese. As a blueprint it is very much like a typical Spanish gazpacho; tomato based with supporting summer vegetables, herbs and plenty…… Continue reading Brunch Gazpacho

Work has been really crazy these last couple months or so. I’ve had several posts I wanted to get up here but have not had the time. So, it’s really nice to take a short break and get this posted. It’s a very nice and great looking dish of pork cooked slow and portioned into…… Continue reading Pork Shoulder, Grits, Roasted Carrots and Garlic

For St. Patrick’s Day we had corned beef and cabbage. Not the stinky slow cooker pot of meat and mushy vegetables, but some awesome home-cured perfectly cooked beef with “The Best” Colcannon. making corned beef from scratch is time consuming but pretty easy to do. I used the recipe and process from ChefSteps.com and it…… Continue reading Sous Vide Corned Beef and Great Colcannon

Boneless Stuffed Chicken Wings with Black Bean Sauce

Posted in Book Recipes, Chicken, Food, Green VegetablesLeave a comment

Superbowl and wings are perfect party companions. I made wings this Superbowl Sunday but I did not just fry some wings and toss them in hot sauce (as delicious as that is). These are boneless wings stuffed with zippy pork dumpling filling and tossed in a fermented black bean sauce. Boneless chicken “wings” have been…… Continue reading Boneless Stuffed Chicken Wings with Black Bean Sauce
