Goat Cheese and Zucchini Tartlets

By on September 17, 2017

These were fun and good, inspired by Ina Garten – click here for her recipe.  I did them in mini-tart pans rather than as one big tart.  Once you get the pastry dough into the tart pans, pop them back in the fridge for a while before loading up with…

Toasted Almond Mint Pesto

By on May 1, 2016

Here’s a little something-something to smear over a bite of your juicy grilled lamb chop…

Almonds, oven or stovetop toasted.  Chopped garlic. Cracked pepper, sea salt and fresh lemon juice.  A big fist of mint. All smashed together with a mortar and pestle.  Well, actually it’s the molcajete we use for guac, but same…

Lazy Dude Egg Salad

By on August 8, 2015

Do as little as possible here.  Dial it back.  Start slow, ease off.  

 

Eggs just barely hard cooked, shelled and chopped.  A dollop of mayo – not too much!  Cracked pepper.  Celery salt.  Chopped celery and red onion.  Done.

Generously spooned on a sliced roll, maybe some Cholula heat.  A cold…

Zucchini – 1988

By on May 10, 2015

Zucchini was big part of childhood in that the backyard garden shot them out of the ground directly at you.  Hundreds of them.  So there were zucchini breads, zucchini salads, zucchini in pasta….  Apparently a popular garden item in the burbs’, as everywhere you turned in Framingham, Mass circa 1988, someone…

Sweet-Hot Grilled Chicken Satay

By on August 2, 2014

Just so so good.  Like wow.    

Slice boneless skinless chicken thighs into strips – probably get 3 or 4 strips from each.  Toss in canola oil, sea salt, cracked pepper and garlic powder.  Thread onto skewers.  

The sauce – on stovetop 3 parts teriyaki sauce, 1 part hoisin sauce,…

Thai-Style Spicy Mussels

By on July 19, 2014

Last week was “classic” mussels, let’s mix it up with a not-so-classic Thai style –  a little One Night in Bangkok after your April in Paris.  A little sweet, a little spicy – coconut milk, pineapple, fresh ginger, lime and hot hot serrano peppers – what’s not to love….

Sauté chopped shallot,…

Classic Steamed Mussels with Buttered Crusty Bread

By on July 11, 2014

This one’s easy as all get-out (well, mostly) and a real crowd pleaser.   The ‘mostly’ refers to de-bearding the mussels which can take some time. Otherwise a snap.  

In a pot or dutch oven, lightly sauté chopped shallot and garlic in a nice pour of olive oil and…

The 70’s Beach-Wich

By on August 24, 2013

We’d take this sandwich to the beach in the late 70’s.  Let’s bring it on back:

Oven to 375º, halve pitas and stuff with black forest ham and sliced cheddar.   Into the oven on a lightly greased cookie sheet until the cheese melts and the pitas crisp up.  Let…
