Smokey Grilled Minty Snap Peas
Summer sides calls for easy recipes, and this is one of my current favorites. It's just 4 ingredients, if you include the oil and the salt, but all four are important. They're best served warm from the grill, especially if you use the wood chips, but are great at room temperature, or even the next day. Note: I've also made these without the wood chips, and they're still fantastic. Just maybe a little less so :-)
Boozy Sorbet
This sorbet recipe is definitely purposefully extra boozy, unlike other recipes. The watermelon is wonderful in this vodka drink.
Sage Potato Chips
The best thing about these is that you can prep the potato slices in advance and refrigerate them layered with paper towels, then fry them up when you're ready to serve.
Roasted Mushroom Salad
I used a wild mushroom assortment to make this recipe. This salad worked very well along side the halibut fish and a light green salad for a full dinner.
Tomato Graté
Growing up, my grandparents had a vegetable garden, and around this time of year, crates of tomatoes would start lining up along the back of their house. Some were canned for winter but most ended up on the table roasted and crusted with breadcrumbs, garlic and parsley. These tomatos are ubiquitous on the Romganolo table, and quite possibly the best food in the world.
Stuffed Mushrooms
For some reason it seems as if all vegetarians are automatically required to like mushrooms because that is the considered “meat” for vegetarians. Unlike most vegetarians, I never liked mushrooms...unless they're stuffed with cheese...mmmm!
Jennie Cook's Zucchini Butter
It turns out zucchini wants to be butter. Grated fine, it cooks down quickly, pooling into a soft, freckly green pile. Try this pure distillation recipe now!
Brown Butter Mayonnaise
Timing is everything. I ran across the idea for brown butter mayonnaise on the blog “Ideas in Food” just as good tomatoes are coming into season. The recipe below is my standard homemade mayonnaise adapted to include brown butter in place of oil. There are many ways you can use it, but notably, it takes a BLT from good to divine.
Steakhouse Barley
I love getting sauteed mushrooms and creamed spinach with my steaks when I go out, and I recently found myself craving both while grilling up some steak-burger patties. Two sides, however, seem a little excessive for a weeknight dinner, so I combined them with barley for a quick dish. This makes a great cold lunch the day after, too.
Greek-Style Watermelon Salad
It's not an immediately obvious combination – watermelon, cucumber, olives and feta – but one bite will leave you convinced that this savory-sweet summer salad is something truly special. The astringent punch of the olives and feta provides a sophisticated counterpoint to the watery mellowness of the melon and cucumber. With a hunk of bread, it's a lovely light lunch; with practically any grilled meat or fish, it's an ideal summer supper.
Farro and Watermelon Salad
If the farro is already cooked, this recipe takes all of 5 minutes to put together. Other grains, like quinoa or even rice, can be substituted.
Watermelon-Tomato Gazpacho
Corn, Avocado, and Mango Salad
This salad is more of an idea than a recipe. I hate measuring, which is why I generally don't post recipes on the site. But I was so pleased with this simple yet delightful combination of flavors that I figured I'd share--if only to inspire others to create their own fresh take on this summer side. I served the corn salad with halibut, but I'm sure it would taste great with trout and almost any other white fish or protein, or taco, for that matter. All measurements are approximated as is the serving size. I wouldn't worry, though. This salad would be very hard to mess up if you use the guidelines I've provided below. Enjoy.
Kombucha Berry Ice pops
Bring a burst of winter to a hot summer day, with this nutritious and delicious homemade ice pop. Kombucha provides healing probiotics and beneficial acids. The berries are packed with antioxidants. Added bonus? They’re easy to make and taste sooooo good.
Mango Crostini
Call me crazy, but I grew up eating mangoes on toast for breakfast during the summers every year. My family has this thing for pairing sweet and savory flavors together – not everybody likes it, I can tell you that! I guess its very similar to eating fruits with cheese - just like the French people. Its something about pairing the savory and sweet together – it somehow balances the flavors out. This recipe is inspired from my childhood breakfast
Shiso Nigiri with Avocado and Umeboshi Paste
You know what's fun? Ordering vegetarian food in Japan. (Share your dietary preferences and country of choice in the comments.) I love vegetarian sushi (it's one of the only acceptable times to have soy sauce on your rice), but even speaking the language and spelling out what I don't eat didn't always help. So sometimes you just have to take matters into your own hands. No more boring cucumber rolls! (No, not really. But make these AND cucumber rolls!)
Apricot Lime Fruit Leather
It may be surprising to learn that fruit leather is a classic Lebanese sweet, but it's not surprising that the original is apricot. This recipe plays on that.
Rhubarb Lemonade
I made this lemonade after wanting a simple way to taste fresh rhubarb without cooking/baking/mixing it with much of anything at all. I choose dark stalks for dramatic color.
Sour Cherry Granita
I love fresh fruit desserts! Granitas are excellent because they keep the bursting, fresh flavor of fruit waiting patiently in the freezer until you are ready to enjoy it... plus, they're super easy! Notes in parentheses are specific ingredients I used; use whatever you have. This granita is a brilliant, permeating red and was inspired by a recipe in Saveur.
Miso-mashed sweet potatoes with coconut butter.
This simple side dish is composed of just a small handful of ingredients, but still manages to pack a very big umami punch. Top your mash with a poached egg for extra unctuousness.
Melted Tomatoes
This has become one of my favorite condiments, both for the intense tomato punch and the ease of preparation. They're amazing spooned over fish, grilled steaks, roasted eggplant, salads or toast. Warm, cold, however you like :)
Apricot Jam
I love spring/summer for all the fresh fruits we get to eat! I saw these beautiful apricots at Whole Foods and grabbed a few hoping to make a chutney. I was planning a dinner party with some friends so I figured I’d kill two birds with one stone, I put together a cheese platter just so I could use my new cheese board I got as a birthday gift last year and I made apricot jam instead of chutney to go with the cheese.
Baguette with Chevre Scrambled Eggs and Chives
I love chives with eggs, so of course this is one of my favorite breakfast sandwiches. Chevre adds creamy tang to the eggs and they all get piled onto a bit of nice crusty baguette for a lovely summery morning meal.
Mango Lassisicles
Mango lassi goodness, in frozen stick form. Feel free to embellish, or to use non-Greek yogurt (which will make it slightly more icy).
