Cranberry Relish

Posted on January 2, 2011 by Angela| Leave a comment

This cranberry relish requires not a lick of cooking – just pulse everything in the food processor, pour out into a bowl and put it on the table. Done. For such freshness and flavor with absolutely no work, those cans of cranberry gelatin that are typical of the Thanksgiving table are looking mighty good for target practice right about now.

This oil is lovely as the preface for a rustic italian meal – mix a few tablespoons of oil with a pinch of kosher salt and some chopped garlic and use it as a dip for focaccia or ciabatta. You can also use a few tablespoons as the basis for sauces and dressings. Continue reading →

Sweet Peanut Lime Dressing

Posted on March 18, 2010 by Angela| 1 Comment

This dressing is a variation of one of my favorite go-to dressings, a light citrus combo that is sweetened with a bit of sugar and honey. I use it on my Thai Chopped Salad with Crisp Noodles and Herbs, but if you leave out the peanut sauce, you can use it as the basis for a Mandarin Orange Salad or even as a marinade for meat or vegetables.

Serve it over a salad of crisp greens, cucumbers, tomato, kalamata olives and feta. Or use it as a dip from crudité – matchsticks of carrots, celery, cucumber, bell pepper and squash couldn’t find a better home than this dressing. Continue reading →

This recipe has such an air of sophistication, I’d think to rename it “Watercresto”. Except then it’d sound smarmy. Treat it like a condiment and make a little magic. *singing* You can do MAGIC!

Fresh Guacamole (and Bean Tostadas)

Posted on February 23, 2010 by Angela| 3 Comments

Apparently, NYC feels a need to charge a premium for fresh guacamole goodness.

You can make this guacamole for around $5 at home. All that’s left is to buy some top shelf añejo and make some fresh lime margaritas to seal the deal. Continue reading →

The recipe originally came from my mom – a bold mixture of lemon, garlic and olive oil packing a serious punch on whatever greens she dressed them with. It woke your ass up. Continue reading →
