Grilled Gravlax Salmon with Warm French Lentil Salad
Heat the grill until very hot. Remove the salmon from the dish and with paper towel, wipe off as much of the dill mixture as possible, particularly on the skin side.
Pan Glazed Tofu
Pan glazed tofu is my new fave. It gives plain tofu a richness of flavor I hardly thought possible.
Sourdough Crepes
Sourdough crepes are an easy dare I say perfect way to use up leftover starter from the baking process. You can eat them straight away or make a batch for the freezer.
Chicken & Potato Stew
Chicken & Potato Stew is an easy one-pot meal that brings warmth, color, and rich flavor to brighten dreary winter days. Once you have everything in the pot, just leave it to slow cook.
Roasted Winter Squash Salad
Roasted Winter Squash Salad is a fabulous way to use up leftover roasted or baked squash by tossing with some dark leafy greens.
Ann’s Paccheri alla Gricia
When making Ann’s paccheri alla gricia, addling the pasta water to the sauce and then reducing it, adds an amazing amount of flavor and helps the oils in the sauce to emulsify.
Kale Braised with White Wine
It’s hard to think of sturdy, healthy kale as a festive dish but Kale braised in white wine is simply delicious. Cooked this way, this healthy, nutritious green is a far cry from the rough way it often gets treated in the kitchen, overcooked, underseasoned, and underloved. Not here!
My Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Add EVOO to a large bowl. Tip in the halved Brussels sprouts and quartered shallots. Sprinkle with salt. With your hands mix the vegetables together with the oil until coated.
Mum’s Spaghetti Bolognese
Heat the olive oil in a heavy frying or sauté pan over a medium-high flame. When it starts to ripple, add the diced meat and the bay leaf.
Sicilian Caponata
Preheat the oven to 425F. Line a full baking sheet with parchment paper. Put in the oven while it preheats – this will heat up the sheet and speed up the browning of the eggplant.
