Eat this on everything. Tastes great on salmon, steak, and noodles of just about every kind. Finely slice 2 large bunches of green onions (white and green parts). Mince approximately 1/4 cup ginger. I’m going to level with you, I hate mincing things and use the food processor to chop all that ginger. It helps…

Parsley Dipping Sauce
This dipping sauce is great on the kofta meatballs posted last week. In a food processor, chop the leaves of 3/4 a bunch of parsley, 15 mint leaves, 2 teaspoons minced garlic, 3 medium shallots and 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes. After everything is well diced, spoon into a bowl and whisk in 1/4…
Pickling a Peck of Peppers
I post this with the full knowledge that half of my family categorically avoids spicy foods. These mellow pretty well because of the sugar, though. Slice about 20 jalapenos or other red peppers into 1/4″ – 1/2″ disks. In a saucepan, bring 3 cups water, 3 cups distilled white vinegar, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup…
Goodness Gracious, Sweet Jam of Fire
“Fire” is a bit dramatic. There’s some heat in this chili jam, but it’s nothing wild. Once upon a time, Trader Joe’s had a Hot and Sweet Chili Jam. It was delicious. I purchased it in triplicate when I ran out. And then. Trader Joe’s stopped making it. At first, I was in denial. Perhaps…
Faux Pho Empanadas
I’d been toying with the idea of pho and empanadas for a while before finally getting around to finding the star anise and testing them out. I’d predicted correctly that they’d be delicious! For the dough: Mix together 2 1/4 cups flour, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, 1 stick cold unsalted butter cut into cubes, 1…
Saucy
In a food processor, crush 1/4 cup raw almonds until finely ground. Add 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 cup packed basil (if you use purple, it gets to be crushed almond purple sauce), the zest of one lemon, the juice of one lemon, three seeded and de-stemmed red jalapenos, and 1/4 cup extra virgin olive…
Roasted Garlic and Chipotle Sauce
Roast four heads of garlic (instructions available here). When cooled, remove roasted cloves. In a food processor, combine roasted garlic, 1 can of chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, zest of two limes, juice of one lime, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme. Pulse…
Spicy Sauce and Fish
We were fortunate enough to catch Sprouts in an amazing sale where the wild caught salmon was a dollar per pound less than the farm raised and I snapped up two pounds because you can always make something delicious with salmon. I like this chimichurri with it because the lime juice brings the flavors to…
