Avocado, Strawberry, and Mango Salad
This is not your average fruit salad recipe. This avocado, strawberry, and mango salad is fresh, sweet, creamy, tangy, and quick to make. And it's oh-so easy!
Chocolate-Coconut (Choconut!) Mousse
I created this vegan delight while making David Lebovitz's Chocolate-Coconut Sherbet (from Ready for Dessert). When removing the chilled sherbet batter from the fridge, I noticed it had slightly solidified and the texture was quite silky. I figured the addition of coconut oil would help solidify it even more, and using only coconut cream would be the key to perfect silkiness. My guesses were correct, and voila, Choconut Mousse!
David Lebovitz's Chocolate Sorbet
Despite having no dairy or eggs, this chocolate sorbet recipe is impossibly creamy. It also remains perfectly scoopable without going icy in the slightest.
Black Bean, Avocado and Pineapple salsa
So far, I've served this salsa with halibut, swordfish and tuna, but I suspect chicken and pork would also marry happily, or chips. It tastes better after the ingredients have spent some time together, so feel free to bring it along to a BBQ, a picnic or camping.
Pappas Relenas (R.F.U.G.) chubby spud
Recipe was researched and developed in accordance to Chubby Spud business model. A mobile kichen streetfood in infancy. Flavors profile is almost infinite eg: bacon&cheddar, chorizo&ancho cream, roasted veggie..etc.
Beautiful mushrooms
During a recent trip to the farmer's market, I came across a man selling nothing but shitake mushrooms. These bags full of fresh fungi looked wonderful, but I was slightly put off by the price. The man started to sell me by talking about how I could prepare them so simply and beautifully that they would taste like bacon. Prepared the way he suggested, they do not taste like bacon, but they taste like the most wonderful mushrooms in the world. I can imagine making these at a dinner party for some fancy hors d'oevres, but right now I just love taking them out of the oven and eating them straight from my cast iron skillet.
Raw Turnip Tangelo Toss
This kind of Japanese side dish, sunomono, is usually a vinegared vegetable paired with a contrasting flavor. The late summer Japanese turnips are delicious raw so I paired them with California Tangelos. The Minneola Tangelos started appearing here last year, and have a very strong juice and tasty peeling. The salt/soaking in step 2 gives the turnips a softness seen in picture 3 (soaked) compared to 2 (not soaked).
Scottish Oatmeal Breakfast with Teff Grain and Flax Seeds
This is a breakfast I created to use Scottish oats, which are whole oat groats that have been flattened in a slow grinding process, producing something like rolled oats, but retaining all the nutritional value of the whole grain. They take longer to cook than rolled oats but would get too mushy if cooked overnight in a slow cooker like steel cut oats. To make these work for a quick weekday breakfast, I was inspired by a recipe from Heidi Swanson of toasting rolled cereal the evening before. I found that toasting these in some butter and then soaking them in boiling water made them easy to finish off the next morning. Then I experimented with other grains and liked including some nutty teff grain for body and flax seeds for texture. I've also made this with a mixture of rolled and steel cut oats, and I've swapped in chia seeds for the teff grain, all with good results. This hot cereal is delicious with lots of different toppings. I suggest dried apricots, hazelnuts and a drizzle of maple syrup. Will including the nutritional powerhouse of teff grain and superfood of flax seeds in your daily breakfast bring you health and superhuman powers? Maybe not. But taking the extra few minutes in the evening to start a warm bowl of oatmeal for the following morning, and infusing your house with the fragrance of buttery, toasted grains in the process, will make you feel cared for, which apparently accounts for a great deal of the healing power of placebos. A good breakfast when you'd like a little extra insurance for getting through a demanding day.
Browned Butter Baby Turnips
Baby Turnips don't require any peeling because their skins are tender, so for this recipe you just need to trip their tops and tails, and let them saute.
Turnip Green Gomae
I love the Japanese appetizer recipe of Turnip Greens, with its nutty, sweet, and salty sauce coating just-blanched greens. You can make it with any greens.
Mooli Chaat
This recipe is quite possibly the easiest way to polish off radish at its freshest. Mooli chaat is street food from New Delhi with radish and masala.
Mango Salad with Lime and Pepitas
When I was traveling in Guatemala I spent a week taking Spanish classes in Panajachel where I managed to catch the tail end of mango season. Every morning the street was filled with men and women selling ripe, juicy mangoes sliced and arranged neatly in a tiny plastic bag. You could choose to eat your mango "simple", or plain, but I always noshed on mine with salt, ground pepitas, and freshly squeezed lime juice. The recipe below is essentially a table friendly version of this glorious “mango in a bag”. A couple notes: 1. Chili powder or cayenne pepper would make a nice addition if you want a little spice. 2. I ground my pepitas using a mortar and pestel. 3. This is a recipe that works well for any meal!
Pickled Baby mangoes in a chile mustard sauce (vadu Mangai)
Although this is a classic baby green mango pickle recipe is made in countless South Indian homes, I'm still waiting for this condiment to catch on in the U.S.
Mango Tarragon Vinaigrette with Pickled Green Peppercorns
A creamy vinaigrette recipe that gets its sweetness from ripe Mango, its aroma from tarragon, and delivers flavor bombs from Thai pickled Green Peppercorn.
Couve a Mineira: Brazilian-Style Collard Greens
My version of the yummy side dish I first tried in Brazil at 19. This Couve a Mineira recipe requires very few ingredients and it's easy to make and so good!
Basil Cubes
By making this Frozen Basil Cubes with extra virgin olive oil recipe in the summer, I have the fresh taste of basil all year long. Use in soups, sauces, pesto.
Easiest Chicken with Spring Onion Chinese Vinegar Sauce
This sweet dark Chinese vinegar Onion sauce is delicious on leftover fried Chicken, or can be used on poached, steamed, or grilled chicken. Try this recipe!
Valencia Orange Marmalade
For the recipe below, I have combined lemons with Valencia oranges, whose season starts in spring. The tartness of the lemons tempers the natural sweetness of the oranges, playing up the natural strengths of both. They make a stunning pair.
Masala Dosai
The rice used for this Dosai recipe is a special par boiled rice that is labeled & sold as 'idli rice' in the USA, but jasmine rice is a good substitute.
Turkish Mint Lemonade
This Turkish Mint Lemonade is one of the most refreshing drinks we've ever had, because it's minty and not too sweet. Recipe can easily be doubled or tripled.
Maple Baked Acorn Squash "Milkshake"
This is my favorite (although not the healthiest) way to prepare acorn squash. Normally, I'd puree it in a soup (with earthy fall flavors like bacon, chipotle, cumin, or roasted garlic) but for this recipe I decided to highlight the maple flavor, turning the puree into a milkshake. Coconut milk adds richness, vanilla rounds out the flavors and signals "dessert".
