This recipe includes the bounty of summer produce; tomatoes, mango, bell peppers and citrus. This is a two part recipe with a marinade and salsa. The marinade comprises of lemon and orange (zest and juice), olive oil, scallions, cilantro (stems and leaves), jalapeño, salt, sugar and cayenne pepper. The fish, whatever type you choose, marinates…
Caramel-Sugar Pufflets
This month on Tuesdays with Dorie we are doing two for the price of one. The base is a sour cream puff dough that can be made into two different recipes, one sweet and one savory. Up first is the sweet caramel sugar pufflets. This dough is like a puff pastry which I have not…
Sablé Breton Galette with Berries
I have made sablés (cookie) and I have made galettes (pie) but I have not made a sablé galette. I made the galette dough and the lemon curd the day before and chilled it overnight so all I had to do was bake and assemble the next day. I rolled out the galette dough into…
Luang Prabang Chicken-Chili Sandwiches
These were the perfect sandwiches for when you do not want to cook. We picked up a roasted chicken ala Costco for ease of preparation. I had to substitute Thai sweet chili sauce for a jar of regular chili sauce I had. I was also uber lazy and bought a bag for shredded lettuce. This…
Natasha’s Mum’s Fruit and Walnut Bread Bars
When I opened the cook book to make these, I knew I was going to have to make substitutions. My husband does not like walnuts so that was first to go, I substituted for pecans. Next was the dried fruit. I did not have most of the fruit listed so I went with what I…
Coconut Patties
I have managed to bake on time for our group but posting on time is proving problematic:) I was happy when these came up for a vote as I had unsweetened coconut sitting around. I also new these wouldn’t be too popular as my family is not coconut lovers. For my citrus flavor I used…
Chicken Chili Tamale Pie
Having read everyone’s reviews from last post I learned two things: allot enough time for the recipe and use pre-made chicken. I don’t think I have had chicken chili before I usually make beef chili with beans. Also, I don’t think I have added sweet potato to my chili before. This recipe was a bunch…
Chocolate Chip Not-Quite Mandelbrot
I am always baking for two families so I made a full recipe. I was pretty sure all would love this one since we all enjoy chocolate. This was a fairly easy recipe as it can be whipped up in one bowl. A full recipe requires three logs but I could not fit all three…
Blueberry – Mascarone Roulade
From Around My French Table by Dorie Greenspan, I made this roulade for Mother’s Day. It is one of the many desserts I have not had a chance to make from this book yet. A dessert with fresh blueberries seemed just right for spring time. It is a sponge cake baked, rolled in a towel…
Tomato Tart with Mustard and Ricotta
I went rouge this week. I wanted to serve this dish for Mother’s Day so I swapped out the two recipes. This dish did not come out at all like the picture. I think the photo is before the eggs go in. Any who, we really loved this one. The crust is fantastic, like all…
