Israeli Cucumber Salad

Israeli Cucumber Salad

This salad is too cool for school – it just stares you down like it’s the reason that your life is spectacular and you should adore it as such. The recipe is wicked simple – just a little chopping and a light vinaigrette of olive oil and lemon juice to hold it all together. Continue reading →

Tabbouleh

Simple Tabbouleh

Posted on August 6, 2011 by Angela| 2 Comments

Traditionally made with bulgar that is soaked until tender, I’ve been known to shave a bit of time off the prep work by using whole wheat couscous. Parsley and tomato are standard, but feel free to experiment with the other greenery and veg – my favorite is the inclusion of crisp cucumber and slivers of scallions, along with plenty of mint to keep the flavors cool and fresh.

Tagliatelle with Porcini Mushrooms

Tagliatelle with Porcini Mushrooms

Posted on June 26, 2011 by Angela| Leave a comment

The beauty if this pasta is that to get it right, you keep your flavors delicate. True to the region (and diametrically opposed to most recipes for wild mushroom pasta), the mushrooms aren’t overshadowed by garlic or red pepper. Simply tagliatelle, mushrooms, wine and butter, with a little chicken stock to gloss the strands of pasta into a heavenly state. Continue reading →

Grilled Corn with Herb Butter

Grilled Corn with Herb Butter

I’ve got into the habit of microwaving the corn in the husk to pre-steam it before grilling, cutting the entire cooking time down to a meager 20 minutes tops. You top the whole thing off with a delicious compound butter made of fresh basil, chives and parsley. It’s one of those tricks for the arsenal when a bland barbecue chicken breast or ho hum hot dog is in your grilling future. This life is too short to be bored with boiled corn. Continue reading →

Middle Eastern Flatbread Pizza

Middle Eastern Flatbread Pizza

Posted on May 24, 2011 by Angela| Leave a comment

This simple pizza is a riff off of the Lebanese treat, manaeesh, that’s like a pizza with ground meat and sumac. Rather than marinara and sausage, you’ve got hummus and delicately spiced ground beef.  Mozzarella meets the melty craving and feta adds salty goodness.  Top it all off with cool, lemony tabouleh (which you can buy or make for yourself) and you are in business.

Fiddlehead Ferns with Gremolata

Posted on April 30, 2011 by Angela| Leave a comment

Fiddlehead ferns taste similarly to asparagus and are often served with hollandaise, so in an homage to their taste-profile companion, we decided to follow one of my favorite preparations of asparagus – a quick saute with lemony gremolata. It seemed apropos in that the addictive combination of lemon zest, garlic, parsley and olive oil are as bright as springtime, and the fiddleheads themselves are a true indicator that spring is right around the corner. How could we not all fall in love? Continue reading →
