Using Creme Fraiche Part III: Amanda Hesser’s Lemon Chicken (with Walnut Green Beans)
OK, assuming that you used about 1/2 cup total of creme fraiche for Part I: Softly Scrambled Eggs and Part II: Sauteed Apple with Honey, you should be all set to finish off the container with this dish. And if not – who cares? This chicken is so obscenely delicious that it would totally be…
Oven Roasted Pork Ribs with Root Vegetables
I’m making these today at the Minneapolis Farmers Market – come out and visit! The demonstration is at 10:30 a.m., rain or shine. In fact, because it will be raining, we’ll be next to Blue Gentian Farm’s stall, under red roof #3. Handy, since I’ll be preparing a big ol’ rack of Blue Gentian Farm…
Sweet Potato Fries with Garlic & Crispy Fried Sage (Paleo, AIP)
I posted this recipe a few weeks ago at Dara & Co./Minnesota Monthly Magazine. It’s hard to say much more about Sweet Potato Fries than: They are easy. They are delicious. I spotted sweet potatoes at the farmers market the other day and immediately imagined sweet potato “fries,” roasted in the oven until tender and…
Grilled Shrimp Tostadas with Spicy Slaw
I posted this recipe a few weeks ago at Dara & Co./Minnesota Monthly Magazine. It may be mid-October, but it’s still warm enough to grill & chill outside. Strange, but we’ll take it, so go for the grill – yes! Warm sun, cool breezes, my favorite time of year has arrived! Open windows, evening walks,…
Fresh Tomato Sauce to Eat on Everything
I posted this recipe a few weeks ago at Dara & Co./Minnesota Monthly. It’s no longer hot & humid in Minnesota – in fact, we turned on the heat this morning, brrr! – but there are still piles of fat, ripe tomatoes around, just perfect for making this addictive sauce. Thanks to my seasonal pessimism,…
Roasted Cauliflower with Pancetta & Garlic (Paleo, AIP)
It is so dark today (in Minnesota), I’m lucky I was able to take a recognizable photo. Flash flood warnings abound, as apparently we’re about to be deluged with days of cold, fall rain. Good times. To cheer myself up, I just add pork, to just about anything, and really, I feel better. I made…
Cherry Tomato Gratin
If you like tomatoes and bread – which of course you do – then you’ll love this simple summer gratin. Cherry tomatoes and bread are tossed with garlic, Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, and olive oil, then baked until the bread is crusty and the tomatoes are tender and just starting to burst. I could sit…
Crustless Spinach & Leek Quiches
I’m supposed to be preparing for a dinner party we’re hosting this evening, so this post is going to be short-n-sweet! Which is fine, since these quiches are short-n-sweet too, and really, what’s to say about quiche? Eggs + cheese = heaven. There you go. Oh wait, I do have one note of explanation: I…
End of Summer Cooking: Grilled Eggplant Parmesan
This post was supposed to be about the lovely-sounding spinach custard that I made the other day…except that it failed miserably. I had a feeling, as I put it in a 400-degree oven (as directed), that bad things were about to happen. Custard and high heat usually mean a weeping, watery mess… …and that’s what…
Crispy Club Sandwiches with Avocado
Tomato season is slowly winding down – enjoy this sandwich soon! You probably don’t need a recipe to make a club sandwich – toast, tomato, lettuce, turkey, bacon, mayo, done. And yet… Perhaps you haven’t made a club sandwich on a grilled bun, smeared with creamy avocado instead of mayo, and let me say that…
