Fresh Salsa with Roasted Tomatoes, Fresh Peppers, and Onions
Salsa is a terrific snack. Its primary components are vegetables and its acidity, heat, and natural sweetness satisfy in a guilt-free way. It is no wonder that every grocery store sells so many varieties of salsa. We can walk down the condiment aisle and expect to be able to choose from a variety of roasted, [...]
Homemade Harissa Hot Sauce Recipe – North African Hot Sauce Made with Sun Dried Tomatoes
My introduction to Harissa was with the super spicy version that’s served in falafel and shawarma restaurants like the famous Falafel in Central Square Cambridge. That version is pretty intense, and will really kick you in the ass if you’re not careful. This version is a bit milder, with more of a slow heat the [...]
Eggplant and Ricotta Lasagna Recipe – Noodle Free Lasagna!
I have taken on two challenges with the invention of this recipe: the first is making a pasta-less lasagna that is hands-down delicious (you’re welcome, gluten-phobes and carb-free dieters!); the second is creating a dish that even the most critical loather of eggplant simply could not resist. Eggplant is a touchy vegetable for some people. [...]
Braised Duck Ragu Recipe with Fennel and Tagliatelle
You may think that the title of this post makes it sound like some big, heavy, complicated, difficult recipe to produce, but I want to assure you that it’s anything but. One of the beauties of rustic Italian food is that it’s all relatively simple, even for an elegant meal such as braised duck. This [...]
Holiday Fish Recipe: Monkfish Recipe Served with a Green Olive and Red Wine Sauce
During the holiday season, we are treated with many decadent culinary delights. It is the time of year when calories don’t count (because, clearly, it is important for your health to develop a “winter layer”) and heavy cream and cartons of butter are staples in your refrigerator. After our fourth holiday party, having never missed [...]
Homemade Ketchup Recipe – The Great American Condiment and My All Time Favorite
Ketchup has always held a special place in my culinary eye. As a kid, I put the stuff on literally everything – even chicken, steak and pork chops – rather than just the standard french fries and burgers (which I of course enjoyed also). These days, I’ve cut way back on my ketchup consumption, but [...]
Thanksgiving Cranberry Sauce Recipe with Orange
For most families, the thought of cranberry sauce evokes images in your mind of the gelatinous substance that slides out of the can, little ridges still intact, that you can slice with a knife and smother over your turkey. I know this is an American classic, and I am not here to suggest that you [...]
Delicious and Spicy Homemade Hot Sauce Recipe
I do call this recipe ‘hot sauce’, but I am not talking about the packets of orange liquid they serve along with your order at Taco Bell. This sauce is chunky and bursting with fresh pepper flavor and acidity, and can be as mild or as insanely hot as you or the crowd you are [...]
Last of the Summer Squash! Pasta Primavera with Squash, Kale, Almonds and Marscapone
Summer has come and gone and as usual, I’m wishing for more of the nice weather and great fresh, simple ingredients and recipes. Fall season is here though, and with it brings the awesome earthy, organic flavors of squash, apples and mushrooms. I gotta say, it might be my favorite season of the food calendar. [...]
