Crispy Ginger Tamari Cashews
This recipe has you brine raw Cashews in a solution of Tamari and fresh ginger, and then cook -- well, actually you are dehydrating -- them in a slow oven.
Oven Roasted Broccoli
My boys inhale this naturally gluten free roasted broccoli recipe whenever I make it. Their friend has been known to eat the entire tray just before dinner.
Proscuitto-Wrapped Asparagus
This recipe was selected for The New York Times "Reader's Recipes: The Potluck" (Oct. 6, 2010) by food52.
Crushed Cauliflower
This is comfort food. It is overcooked but with restraint which gives it a flavor that is deep, resonant and all cauliflower. I can stand at the stove and eat all of it right out of the pan, so keep that in mind before you taste for seasoning. What happens is you get these really caramelly crunchier bits and these bigger pieces that are creamy and tender. It is really, really good with prime rib, leg of lamb or as I said all by itself while standing at the stove.
Grilled Peaches
Yes, this recipe is simple. And yes, it's delicious because it's simple. Grilled peaches are an absolute delight come summer each year.
Steamed Cauliflower with EVOO and Lemon Juice
This is a super-simple, healthy way to eat a lovely vegetable. My mother is from Spain, and this is how she always prepared cauliflower. When we moved to the States and I saw the gloppy, cheese-covered version of how cauliflower is served in most American households, I was slightly horrified.... My children love this dish, it takes just minutes to make and it goes with just about everything....
Simple Roasted Cauliflower
We had this at a dinner party and it was so good that everyone wanted more. Luckily there are few ingredients, so the hostess just popped more in the oven. She used fontina which was good but I like the parmesan more.
CONFETTI CAULIFLOWER
I love the bright green and red colors of this appetizer. It looks gorgeous in the middle of a table. The cauliflowers at the farmers' market are a stunning display of bright colors...orange, green and purple. Here I have dressed up a plain white one so that it holds its own for gaudiness and especially for taste!
Crack Wings
I came up with this Crack Wings recipe on a whim. We call them Crack Wings because of their ridiculously addictive nature. They are perfect for parties!
Peachy sweet wings
I was given this recipe 20 years ago and used to make it for every party at my house, to rave reviews. Although one ingredient is Peach Baby food, not something most keep in their cupboard, you could substitute a peach puree or mashed canned peaches instead. I have also used a good thick, fruit sweetened peach preserves.
Plum and Star Anise Jam
In the summer, I become a compulsive fruit buyer. As I walk through the Greenmarket, the bursting berries and the plump peaches erase any memory that there's already a bowl full of fruit sitting at home. So then I end up with more plums (and nectarines and tomatoes) than I can reasonably eat while they're still at their peak. This small-batch recipe comes from my first-ever attempt to make jam when I was staring down an avalanche of plums recently. There weren't enough to justify going through the entire preserving process, though, so the batch is small. It derives its sweetness more from the fruit than from sugar, so it isn't too cloying. My favorite ways to enjoy the jam: mixed into plain yogurt and on top of toasted baguette spread with chèvre.
Mel's Red Hot Baked Wings
My mom has made these wings for years, but instead of wings, she uses bites of chicken, and serves in a bowl with a fork, swimming in juicy wing sauce. The sauce for these is fairly basic, but the technique is what sets them apart. Baked (not fried) these wings are seriously tender and good. The Franks hot sauce, melted butter, and brown sugar coating caramelizes on the wings, making them gooey, sweet, spicy, and chewy. Almost like chicken candy…is that weird?
Radish and Cress Side
This is a homage to every Central and South American co-worker I ever had the privilege of working with in a kitchen. To the things they taught me about their food, culture and heritage from papusas to tamales to lorca, the food is and will always be kick ass. The one thing I learned early on is food south of the American border is more often than not, not served with refried beans and rice. Thank god! This is a salad and the variations are infinite, where the greens maybe different but the radishes are the anchor. You could use cabbage, wilted with a little salt for an hour or so or any peppery green. Make that enchilada or tamale pie and serve this as the side, you won't regret it, trust me.
Radish Crostini
My mother is responsible for turning me from a picky eater into an adventurous foodie. She made this for me once as a simple snack with radishes from her garden and farm fresh butter - it was a food epiphany for me. Radishes that fresh taste so peppery - the whole thing was heaven. Now I make it all the time. I know it's not even really a recipe...but it's so good that I don't really care.
Radish Truffle Butter
While dining at Pike Brewery in Pike Place Market (Seattle), we were served raw radishes to spread butter on and to dip in truffle salt. I was never a big radish fan but this combination of ingredients was a revelation to me. Later I saw a recipe for plain radish butter in a Lee Brothers cookbook and thought I would combine these two experiences into one unique recipe. The result was sublime especially when added to steak or seasoning corn on the cob. - SavorySweetLife
Radish & Herb Butter Roll
I love to make variations of butter rolls to accompany fresh hot rolls out of the oven ...and so this recipe was born. - micki barzilay
Rootin’ Tootin’ Radish Salad
This is an play on tatziki sauce. Here slices of radishes are enveloped in soft clouds of sweet and creamy sour cream. This dish can be served along side of grilled kabobs, or eaten by its self. You can use greek yogurt instead of sour cream, it will add a bit of tanginess.
Simple Roasted Radishes
Radishes are root vegetable, so I thought why not roasted 'em. Potatoes, carrots, beats and even turnips get roasted so lets roast these bad boys up (little bit dubious about the end product)! They came out great, subtle sweetness with an after tone of pepperiness...slightly nutty. We served them along side broiled fish.
Sauteed Radishes with Mint
Butter adds a bit of richness to this otherwise simple dish. Browning the butter takes it a step further to add a nutty note, enlivened on the other end by the mint. - liahuber
Deep Red Bells
I missed the submission deadline for the red pepper contest as I was catering to my sick kitty, but I figured I'd share my best red bell pepper recipe here anyway. As soon as peppers start flooding the farmers' market in late summer, I start making batches of these to use on sandwiches, salads, or crostini. They're ridiculously simple, with just a few ingredients, so it's essential to start with great fresh peppers that are perfectly ripe. (And yes, I was thinking of the Neko Case song when I came up with the name for this recipe :) )
Onion and Red Pepper Confit
I always look forward to spring when Vidalia onions are in season. I like to saute them in a little oil and sometimes butter until they are brown, soft, and sweet. In this recipe, I added chopped garlic and roasted red peppers, cut to about the same size as the onions. The longer you cook this, the better it gets. Tonight I served it over some simply grilled fish. (local fresh-caught fluke, purchased directly from the fisherman at the farmers' market yesterday...amazing.) It's good as a topping for crostini--brush the sliced bread with a little oilve oil, toast it, layer on some fresh ricotta cheese, and put this on top. It can be added to pasta sauce, used as a filling for an omelet, a topping for hamburger, or served with roast potatoes. - drbabs
Luscious Pickled Peppers
I love pickled peppers and didn't even realize how much I loved them until I started to make them for my Farmer's Market customers. This recipe is loosely based on one from Linda Ziedrich in her Joy of Pickling book. I can my peppers to make them shelf stable, but you can easily keep them in the fridge if you don't care to water bath can them. I hope you enjoy this recipe!
Spicy Cajun Remoulade Sauce
This spicy cajun remoulade sauce recipe gets its kick from a combination of spicy brown mustard and prepared horseradish. Mustard is my secret ingredient.
Thai mango salsa
With summer's rich bounty of fruits, the onus is on me to dream up new ways to use the fruit. Munching on them alone is fine, but some fruits, like mangoes, beg to be gussied up. Per my husband's request, it's usually in the form of mango chicken — a quick stir-fry of chicken, onions and garlic, topped off with mangoes, cilantro and lime juice, served over jasmine rice. But it's hot. Dreadfully so. And so, along the lines of sweating out the heat with heat, I bring you Thai mango salsa.
