Baking fish and chips is not only easier and less messy than frying, but it also has the distinct advantage of allowing you to cook both fish and potatoes at the same time in your oven. The key to getting the crunchiest fries is to cut them thin (leave […]
Zucchini is abundant this time of year and this is one of my favorite new recipes to take advantage of it. Breading it in a blend of almond flour, flaxseed, tapioca flour, and spices creates a perfectly crispy outer layer. I used coconut yogurt to make my own spin […]
Old school, simple and stupidly delicious. What more can I say? Btw, the term ‘au jus’ means ‘with juice’, so asking “do you want that with au jus” is redundant. We’ve tried this with leftover thin sliced rare tri-tip and it works with or without the bread.
These Grilled Sweet Potatoes are little slices of heaven. Grilled to a crispy, tender finish, and served with chipotle lime dipping sauce or Chimichuri sauce, these make a delicious (and nutritious) side dish and are sweeter than regular sweet potato recipes.
These soft, sweet, luscious homemade marshmallows completely blow their store-bought rivals out of the water and they’re quite fun to make too. They’re perfect for s’mores, snacking, or a big cup of hot chocolate. Also, they have no artificial ingredients or preservatives. I thought I didn’t like marshmallows until […]
There’s many a recipe out there touting crispy baked sweet potato fries, but chances are if you’ve actually tried one or many versions like I did you’ve ended up with a thick orange stick that is browned and it may even have some crispy edges, but it still unquestionably […]
These fried potatoes are fiercely textured, fiercely flavored, fiercely presented, and fiercely enjoyed. How fierce is really up to you and your inner Spaniard. There are as many patatas bravas recipes as homes in Spain, and this is nothing more than my latest rendition.
“You could say that picarones are like a sweet potato-and-squash doughnut, but that doesn’t pay enough respect,” says Hender Gonzales. “Doughnuts are, what, Dutch? This is something we Peruvians came up with ourselves.” Gonzales’s version, which they doled out during their pop-up at Ursula in Brooklyn, is made of a […]
How to make simple but classic SALMON cakes with diced peppers, onion, and celery!
One of my favorite Middle Eastern mezze is deep-fried cauliflower served with tahini garlic sauce. I decided to try the dish with broccoli, but instead of deep-frying the broccoli I roasted it, a method that requires a lot less oil. The buds on the broccoli florets toast to a […]
Spring rolls or summer rolls are a Vietnamese delicacy known as “gỏi cuốn”. Depending on region, salad rolls were made differently. Some vegetarian families make vegetarian spring rolls rather than meat spring rolls. However, the typical ingredients include slivers of cooked pork (most often cha pork sausages), shrimp, sometimes […]
This yogurt dip is incredibly versatile—serve it with toasted pita wedges as an appetizer, or pair it with grilled lamb, chicken, fish or vegetables.
Dipping a crispy toast finger (the French call it a mouillette) in a soft egg yolk has to be one of life’s great pleasures. “When I was a kid, I loved it,” says Jean-Georges Vongerichten. Evidently, he’s still fond of it because he has created an adult version that’s elegant […]
This is an easy to make a sauce that is great to dip chicken wings or shrimp into. Serve it as a dip or submerge the chicken wings, fried fish or shrimp into it after they cook and are still hot. This sauce also works on other foods like meatloaf, […]
Years ago, my neighbor brought some over, I never had these before, and now I can’t get enough.
