Presto Change-o
This Asian-inspired sweet and salty grilled beef took an unexpected turn when my rice wasn't ready in time; I turned fried mai fun noodles into a nest for the meat instead.
Halibut Hi-jinx
My attempts to butcher a large piece of halibut, plus two sauces to serve over it: scallion-butter and tomato-dill. A green salad with scallion vinaigrette complements either version.
Seeing Red
A boneless chicken recipe pairing red wine with the traditional Chinese technique of red cooking, essentially a braise of soy, brown sugar, and 5-spice.
Hoisin-Ponzu Grilled Chicken and Zucchini
A light summer meal of boneless chicken and zucchini spears, marinated in doctored hoisin sauce and grilled.
Divide and Conquer
Two recipes for boneless leg of lamb: First, grilled butterflied lamb with a hoisin glaze, served with sauteed mushrooms; then, Moroccan kebabs grilled with zucchini chunks and served over pistachio-date couscous.
Thanks for the Carrots, Molly
This recipe pairs ancho-rubbed pork tenderloins with scallion corn muffins and honey-roasted carrots, using a method that allowed me to enjoy cooked carrots for the first time.
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.
Can We Keep It, Honey?
Fresh salmon is roasted whole, then transformed into a host of leftovers: Fillets served with green onion sauce and lemon-scallion rice, salmon frittata with corn and peppers, and dilly salmon-potato hash with shiitake mushrooms.
Enchilado de Camerones
A take on a spicy Cuban shrimp dish highlighting tomato and bell pepper, nicely balanced by a pot of cooling coconut rice.
Crispy/Sesame/Mandarin/Orange Beef and/or Chicken
Thinly sliced beef, fried for crunch and then tossed with snow peas and a sticky orange sauce.
Baked Potato Soup
I don't like my actual baked potatoes with anything beyond butter, but the bacon, cheese, and particularly the tang of sour cream elevates this soup to something more than a bowl of baked potatoes.
The Incredible Edible etc.: Migas
A Mexican take on scrambled eggs, with torn fried tortillas, cheddar cheese and a bit of salsa.
Potstuck
My homemade potstickers may not be pretty, but they tasted better than anything we've gotten from a Chinese restaurant around here.
