Knuckle Sandwich
Fresh pork hocks are braised and then broiled over tart cabbage, and served with fluffy German potato dumplings.
Mishmash
Several different uses for shredded sweet potatoes: hashes, fries, and even crepes!
Erin Go Bragh
My first experiment with pickling meat---corned beef brisket, to be exact! This recipe is nitrate-free.
Leftover Night, Volume III: Carnivore Edition
Four different meat-centric meals, covering all the bases: beef brisket, crumb-coated pork, roasted chicken, and lamb shanks braised with lentils and curry.
Lamb Dumplings with Yogurt Sauce
An unusual recipe for lamb dumplings in a scorched yogurt sauce, more tasty than it sounds.
Doubting Moussaka
A loving rendition of the classic Greek casserole, moussaka, served with a light cabbage-carrot salad called lahanosalata.
Check That One Off the List
Barbecue beef sandwiches with my homemade sauce and sandwich rolls, and coleslaw with a dressing made from homemade mayonnaise and yogurt---self-sufficiency can be a beautiful thing.
Vegetable Alchemy
My very first attempt to lacto-ferment cabbage into sauerkraut, as part of the Preserve the Bounty challenge.
Crusty
Halibut steaks are crusted with shredded potato and pan-roasted, then served with an unusual warm salad of red cabbage, spinach, pancetta, and nuts.
Tilapia: Variations on a Theme
Tasty tilapia from Asia to Italy: Five-spice tilapia with ponzu sauce and veggie-fied garlic noodles; and tilapia piccata over sun-dried tomato couscous.
Minestrone and Mac
Italian vegetable soup paired with Dorie Greenspan's corn muffins for a crisper-cleaning, barrel-scraping meal. Plus, a use for those leftover corn muffins the next day---City Bakery's mac and cheese!
Skinning the Wonton
Despite my pitiful crimping technique, these homemade wonton wrappers perform admirably when transformed into pork potstickers.
Golabki
Polish cabbage rolls stuffed with pork and served over mashed potatoes with a creamy paprika-tomato sauce.
Vietnamese Spring Rolls
Fresh Vietnamese spring rolls filled with chilled shrimp, rice noodles and raw vegetables make an ideal light summer meal.
Potstuck
My homemade potstickers may not be pretty, but they tasted better than anything we've gotten from a Chinese restaurant around here.
A week in food
…but not so many photos. We have been eating especially well this past week, but I didn’t get pics of most of it. Last Friday night we had a (sadly unphotographed) crustless broccoli quiche. I’ve…
