Redirecting Perverts to the Refrigerator Since 1999
Do you ever have random childhood cravings? My mom made chicken cacciatore pretty often when I was a kid. I remember the pasta being my favorite part of course, since that’s what kids typically love! I haven’t made (or eaten) chicken cacciatore for…gosh…I have no idea how long. I don’t think I’ve had it since…
For once I pretty much followed the recipe. This one was from Food & Wine magazine’s recipe of the day newsletter: Crispy Tofu with Noodles. We ate ramen three times over the long weekend. I was a bit porked out. I had veggie tacos for lunch and wanted more vegetarian fare for dinner so it…
My newest adventure is actually grabbing a recipe from one of the bazillion newsletters I get each day and cooking something from it for dinner that night. One night in and I’m already improvising of course. I never follow recipes! The first recipe was from the Epicurious newsletter: Rigatoni with Spicy Calabrese-Style Pork Ragù The…
Take the leftover chicken meat, I had 2 legs and 1 breast left, and cut it into chunks. Put it in the food processor with some sauteed garlic and shallots, some chopped herbs, salt and pepper. For the amount of chicken I had left I used 2 shallots and 2 cloves of garlic, a tablespoon…
It’s gotten cold and rainy. When that happens, I start making more pasta and soup. More comfort foods. More warming, cozy foods. One of the easiest is usually pasta with red sauce. 2 onions, chopped 3 oz pancetta, diced (optional for vegetarians…not optional otherwise!) Cook down until onions are soft and starting to brown. Add…
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…
I needed to cook as much produce as I could for dinner. I’m picking up my first CSA box today and it’s going to fill my fridge. I had a huge bag of spring onions from my dad’s garden and a head of napa cabbage that were taking up the most space. Pasta time!! 2…
You didn’t think there would be all these posts about trumpets without a recipe did you? A lot of people like black trumpets in cream sauces but I’m not a fan of cream sauce. I like to enjoy them simply. All I did was saute them up with a handful of chopped kale and one…
I stumbled upon a recipe on Epicurious.com for lentil raviolis. The thought never occurred to me! I didn’t follow the recipe but made up my own. In a saucepan:2 shallots, diced1 clove garlic, dicedI added a handful of diced pancetta but this could be left out and be a vegetarian dish. If you do what…
I twittered this recipe the other night but don’t want to lose it, the sauce was great!! It was the first time I’d ever made Bolognese. Can’t say it’s quick but it’s still easy and rich and so yummy. 1 lg onion, 2 stalks celery, 6 cloves garlic. Add about 1c. chopped pancetta: Add 1…
This is one of those “what’s in the fridge/garden” meals. 1/4 c. small dice pancetta1/2 a red onion, diced2 small leeks, diced1 small fennel bulb, diced Caramelize the heck out of all that. If you have a good range hood/fan and the nerve, deglaze with vodka. I tried it, it flamed up in an awesome,…
A mishmash of things from the fridge and the garden turned out to be a really wonderful dinner. 1-2oz. pancetta, diced small (optional if you’re vegetarian, required if you’re not!!)1 leek, white and pale green parts only, chopped Sautée these in a pan with olive oil until they are caramelized. (Make the pesto while you’re…
