Saute of Tomatoes & Okra with Bacon
Make this. You will not be able to stop eating it. Add cayenne pepper and the perfect amount of salt and you REALLY will not be able to stop eating it. Spoon it over polenta…and forget it. Gone. Saute of Tomatoes and Okra with Bacon Adapted from The Gift of Southern Cooking by Edna Louis…
Coconut Curry Soup with Shrimp & Vegetables
I get so many nice comments about the Quick Coconut Curry with Halibut & Broccoli recipe that I posted last fall that I thought I’d share a soup version of it that I make when the weather turns warmer. I use shrimp instead of halibut so that I can use the shells to make a…
Chicken Piccata with Radish Ramp & Pea Shoot Salad
We all need to jazz up a chicken breast from time-to-time and this quick recipe, inspired by a Naomi Pomeroy recipe in the Wall Street Journal, does so nicely. I’m a big fan of crispy, buttery chicken skin, so I’ll often ask the butcher to take several breasts off the bone while I stroll around…
Ramp Pesto
The calendar says May, but the temperature reads February, with mean little snow flurries icing our not-spring cake. It pretty much sucks. But there are ramps! Lovely, garlicky-grassy ramps, which taste like spring, and that means something. I actually prefer them just gently warmed, so they keep their garlicky bite, which makes them perfect for…
Cabbage Salad with Toasted Coriander Mayonnaise
Toasted coriander seeds are the flavor of the season for me. My obsession kicked off with Daniel Klein’s recipe for chilled carrot soup, when I prepared the coriander yogurt garnish. I’ve toasted coriander seeds many times before, but this time, the warm-fresh fragrance off the hot pan swirled straight into my brain—on a day I…
Poached Eggs with Vegetables & Taklia (Coriander Seeds & Garlic Toasted in Butter)
Make the Chicken with Taklia (Coriander Seeds & Garlic Toasted in Butter) and Sauteed Spinach (posted below) for dinner, then have poached eggs for breakfast the next day. That’s pretty much the routine in this house. In fact, I saved the chicken pan drippings and used them to saute the cabbage and spinach in this…
Chicken with Taklia (Coriander Seeds & Garlic Toasted in Butter) and Sautéed Spinach
Thanks to Daniel Klein’s Chilled Carrot Soup with Coriander Yogurt & Daylilies recipe, which I posted this week at Dara & Co./Minnesota Monthly Magazine, I am obsessed with toasted coriander seeds. The fragrance off the hot skillet is at once fresh and warm, totally sexy, everything I want now that spring is finally showing its…
Chilled Carrot Soup with Coriander Yogurt & Daylilies
If you’ve been missing the locally produced online documentary series The Perennial Plate, don’t fret: It’s online! Which is good, because once you start watching, you won’t be able to stop. The series—hosted by chef/activist Daniel Klein and filmed by cameraman/editor Mirra Fine—just wrapped its first year of weekly episodes documenting “socially responsible and adventurous…
Beef Brisket Tacos
I took this picture after…6 pm! That is so outstanding I can barely contain myself. It’s been a long, dark winter in Minnesota and while it’s still cold as hell, with a thick blanket of dirty snow covering everything (the color of despair as my Twitter friend @ChefSpencerGray called it, perfect), there is light. Lalalight!…
Collard Greens (Paleo, AIP-Friendly)
I’ve been meaning to post this recipe since the holidays, when I brought this dish to my aunt Mary & uncle Bruce’s house for Christmas Day. Time flies… Actually, time doesn’t fly in Minnesota between December and March, so I’m not sure what my excuse is. But no matter, here it is. Collard greens, for…
