oregano/chili-roasted squid; potatoes, chives; 2 dandelions
I’ve always thrown some form of capsicum in the mix with this recipe (the original recipe, and my usual preparation, included only dried red pepper flakes), but this may be the first time I’ve used fresh seasoning peppers other than habanada. While it made for a very flavorful dish, a much smaller amount than I …
squid/conch salad, escarole; roasted squash, seared cod
I always imagine I’m tasting the sea itself with a fresh seafood salad prepared by the wife of one of our local fishermen. As for the main course Wednesday night, while ‘winter cod’ isn’t a real thing, cod on a wintery night is, and that night it looked like it there really was such a …
oregano/chili/lemon-roasted squid; turkish eggplant, mint
Words fail me here; I can only say it was absolutely delicious, all of it, but at least the colors can speak for themselves. Okay, ‘juicy’. Juicy is easy to say. after the oven had been heated to 400º, exactly one pound of very fresh, cleaned, quite small and very tender baby squid from P.E. & …
squid/conch salad; pasta, scapes, espelette, tomato, herbs
Both were definitely local, but If the ‘wild tomatoes’ were not, technically wild anymore, the seafood really was, even if it had been domesticated by the fisherman (by bringing it home) and the fisherman’s wife (by preparing the salad at home). eight ounces of a squid and conch salad (including olive oil, parsley, red pepper, …
shishito; roasted squid, baby corn on the cob with epazote
I love corn, in almost any form. While that goes for corn on the cob as well, I hate the messy process involved in eating it (I put it in the same category as boiled lobster: best consumed while sitting on sand, preferably rocks, on the ocean, preferably Aquidneck Island). And then there’s corn where …
oregano/chili/habanada/lemon-roasted squid; redbor kale
The squid was delicious, as it always is with this very familiar recipe (and with virtually any other), as was the kale, a particularly tasty redbor (brassica oleraceae ‘redbor’), whose appearance could more accurately be described as ‘frilly purple and green kale’. The big deal for us however was the farm where the vegetable was …
oregano-roasted squid; boiled potatoes, chives; lacinato
I must have appeared flummoxed. Warren said I should have the squid. The fisherman was right. We love squid [58 results show up on this blog], it had been a while since I’d served it, it was definitely very fresh. preparing it as I do is a pretty low key operation, and it was delicious. …
oregano/chili/habanada/lemon-roasted squid; spinach
Oh so good. On my way home from the Greenmarket with these Cephalopoda on Wednesday I thought about how many people think of squid only as an appetizer, usually batter-coated and deep-fried, which can be awesome, but that we almost always enjoy them at home as the special main event I think their goodness deserves. …
squid/conch salad, arugula; toasted orecciette, mustards
The antipasto was ‘prepared food’ (prepared by the wife of our local fisherman), with the addition of a bit of greens, and the locally-made pasta that followed only needed a little working, and that too included a bit of greenery, as local as that which had accompanied the sseafood salad. eight ounces of a squid …
