No Reason, Just a Fantastic Meal…with salt
Some friends came over for dinner last night and I decided I would go all out and make a multi-course extravaganza. We’ve been touting the excellence of Mark Bitterman’s new book, Salted: A Manifesto on the World’s Most Essential Mineral, with Recipes, to anyone who will listen so I made sure to highlight salts in…
Pomegranates Galore!
What do you do when your dad has 7 acres of pomegranate trees? Make pomegranate juice of course. Then reduce it into a simple syrup for use on a million things! I seeded 6 pomegranates and put the seeds into the blender. Then pressed the blended mush through a fine mesh strainer. 3 cups pomegranate…
Brined Pork with Tomatillo Sauce
Oh so easy, oh so amazing. On the advice of the wonderful Rebecca from TLC Ranch (where I get my pork and eggs) I thawed the pork loin chops I bought in brine. I put about, I’d say, 1 c. of salt to about 1 gallon of water. In the brine I added a bay…

Grilled Snapper with Cilantro Pesto and Napa Cabbage Slaw
Rub snapper fillets with grated ginger and garlic. I grate them on my microplane grater right over the fish…works pretty well. Pour juice of 2 limes over the fish. I let it sit for about 30 minutes. Not long enough to cure the fish but long enough to get a good flavor. Drizzle with olive…
Grilled Veggie and Salmon Pasta
Simple and delicious. Grill salmon with just some salt, pepper and olive oil. In a grill basket, toss some broccoli florets and chopped summer squash. Cook all that until it’s done. Meanwhile (on the stove not the BBQ) sauté up some chard with garlic and chili flakes. When the grilled veggies are done, mix those…
Not your typical 4th of July BBQ
We had some friends over for the 4th and wanted to make something nice and fancy but that still had some element of the Independence Day barbecue thing going on. I started with my classic ahi tartare. It’s becoming a bit of a signature dish for me, it’s always good and everyone loves it. Next…
Rosemary and Red Wine Barbecued Chicken
I didn’t eat meat for years. Not because of ethics or anything like that, I just stopped liking it. One day, a while back, I thought “BBQ chicken sounds good.” Not the kind with barbecue sauce on it but herbed, marinated chicken. This is what I had and it’s still my favorite way to barbecue….
Roast Chicken with Leeks and Sage, and Fava Bean Bruschetta
Exhausted from vacation…aren’t they tiring? I had a chicken, I had leeks from my CSA, I have sage in the garden. That’s a meal right there! 1 whole chicken 3 leeks, chopped 1/4 cup butter (sliced into pats) 10-12 sage leaves (4 leaves chopped, leave the rest whole) 1-2 T chopped fresh thyme Salt, pepper,…

Snapper with Rutabaga Puree and Chard
More experimenting with the CSA box contents! The one thing in the box that was a mystery to me, preparation-wise, was the 1/2 dozen rutabagas. I sent out a plea on twitter. I got a lot of good recipes. I decided though, being that I’d never made them before, I wanted to do something simple…
