Redirecting Perverts to the Refrigerator Since 1999
Update (February 2013) My dashi recipe remains the same but I’ve taken to searing salmon and having that as the protein. It’s a perfect combination. I sprinkle the salmon with salt and nanami togaroshi and sear in a hot cast iron skillet. It’s a beautiful thing. Dashi: 6 cups water 6-8 inch chunk of Kombu…
I combined a couple of dishes I’ve done in the past and the result was excellent. The first was a dish that I modeled after an Eric Ripert recipe. The second was the Prosciutto-wrapped Salmon I did a while back. This recipe serves 2. First component, the broth.In a small saucepan, drizzle some olive oil…
We had three bottles of Syrah to drink: ’03 Cornas from France, ’00 Hardy’s from Australia, and ’02 Ridge from here in the Santa Cruz Mountains. I wanted to make a special dinner for our cousin’s birthday, but we don’t really eat much meat so I had to find something involving fish that would go…
This is a quick and easy, tasty mexican-style dinner. Outside of the guacamole, it’s all ingredients that are easy to keep on hand and you can use fish, shrimp or chicken…even beef I guess although I’ve never tried that. Put 2 dried ancho chiles in a dish w/ enough boiling water to cover them. Let…
I make ahi tartare almost every Wednesday. It’s different every week depending on what’s in season, or what I have in the fridge. Every week it’s good. This week’s was amazing!! 3/4 lb sashimi-grade ahi tuna, diced1 shallot, minced1/2 Japanese cucumber, diced1 clove garlic, finely minced3 T parsley, chopped2 T basil, chopped1/4 cup toasted pine…
I had one large zucchini left from my dad’s garden. I’d already made zucchini bread, I’d already frozen a bunch of it for zucchini bread in the winter, I’d sautéed, I’d put it in pasta, I needed something new! Well, there’s my tried and true ‘mashing things together and frying into a cake technique’… I’ll…
Last night for dinner I felt like being creative. When I started, I didn’t know what I was going to end up with. I began by throwing some sushi rice rice cooker, I didn’t know why but I thought I might end up using it. I ended up with this amazing dish, here’s how. For…
Surprisingly, this large, layered tower remained upright long enough to take a picture and carry it to the table before it slowly got leany and eventually toppled. It’s a recipe loosely based on one from On the Line, Inside the World of Le Bernadin. I felt that I wouldn’t like certain aspects of the recipe…
I went to the store to get the ingredients for this great salmon recipe in my On the Line, Inside the World of Le Bernardin cookbook and, oddly, my fish monger had no salmon! So this went from a Le Bernadin recipe to a Le Bernadin-inspired recipe. This was night two of my exploration of…
So, I’d a made my fish and couscous dish enough times now that I felt I needed to move on. I still bought some wonderful, local flounder at the farmers market and like the preparation of it dusted and semolina and pan fried but it needed to be reworked. I was losing interest. I picked…
The salad is so easy and so heavenly. It can be done with spinach or arugula, I prefer arugula. Throw a diced shallot into a pan with far too much olive oil (this will be your dressing and you won’t be adding more oil) and let them cook at medium heat until they’re soft. Whisk…
7/13/11 Update: I made a summery version of this. Similar recipe, dropped the saffron. Instead of topping with pesto, I topped with fresh tomatoes and basil. I picked up some snapper at the farmers market the other day with the plans to make fish tacos. When I went to actually prepare the fish tacos I…
