Slow simmered over low heat to a tender, sweet finish, these short ribs are loosely based on a Korean stew called ‘Galbi Jim’. A shot of coffee adds tannins to breakdown the fibers of the meat and make the sauce rich and dark. Cook them on the stove or pop them in the slow cooker and come home to dinner.
Wednesday night and time to get dinner on the table. A simple little pasta, 45 minutes, start to finish: mushrooms, zucchini and cherry tomatoes in a light cream sauce topped with prosciutto and your choice of pasta. Cream makes everything better.
The Smoked Gouda Duck Confit Grilled Cheese is a standard casual entertaining food around here. One of Chef B’s little treasures; it’s savory and smoky with just a hint of salty, buttery toasted-ness, and always a big hit. Now it can be a big hit in your house.
The Pulled Pork Po Boy is like spicy, saucy bacon-y goodness on a nice chunk of French bread. In Louisiana, Po Boy sandwiches come in a couple different flavours; there’s fried, featuring battered shrimp, crawfish or oysters and then there’s pulled, featuring pork, cooked low, slow and saucy.
Who says Thanksgiving has to be all about turkey? It’s your Thanksgiving, make your own rules (you rebel you). What says Fall Feast in your kitchen? You’re not bound by convention, you’re a freethinker. (But, just in case we’ve got you covered on that whole How To Cook a Turkey thing.)
It’s comfort food season, a chilly day found me in the kitchen whipping-up a batch of spaghetti & meatballs, singing “On Top of Spaghetti” and pondering the nature of the sobriety of those writing children’s songs.
Lobster Chili, you’ll be the hit of the tailgate party. MAN FOOD, with a refined twist (and buttery, garlicky, cheesy biscuits).
Inspired by Greece it’s not a hamburger, but a lamb burger favoured with oregano and garlic, punched up with spinach and salted by feta. It borrows from keftedes or Greek meatballs, made with beef, garlic, oregano and mint or our Burger el Greco.
Sometimes it’s the simplest things that strike a cord. Like this pretty little Thai Sweet Chili Chicken. Didn’t intend to post because two ingredients; “chicken” and “jar o’ sauce” does not a “recipe” make, but it’s a solid thecnique for the grill and using it, you’ll get beautiful results every time.
Cold rice vermicelli salad with bright fresh veg, dressed in a lime, rice wine vinaigrette, (totally delish) chicken satay, finished with peanut sauce. Authenticity and intensity. Eat goooooood.
This isn’t a complicated dish. It’s simple, hardworking food. Beef short ribs are an underrated cut of meat. At first glace they’re just short, fatty, bone-in chunks of beef. But treat them with respect and a bit of love and you have rich, flavorful, tender fall-off-the-bone, beefy goodness.
Yes, it’s spicy. Lamb vindaoo is a spicy Indian stew and a favorite in most curry houses, where you’ll often find it with added potatoes. No potatoes here my friend just tangy, spiced lamb marinaded and cooked to perfection.
