dinner, 2/21/11 I love broccoli – even “straight” – but I wanted something slightly more imaginative to go with a beautiful fresh cod fillet I had picked up at the Greenmarket. I tend to prefer vegetables barely cooked, and I almost always avoid complex treatments, but when I looked inside my paper folder with the “broccoli” …

coppa dolce, sunflower sprouts; whole wheat pasta, 2 kales
No, you’re not seeing double. Only a few days ago we had begun a different meal with an antipasto using almost all the same ingredients as those seen above, so it was probably a good thing that I led that post with the Marx Brothers rather than this wonderful salume. The only variation, and because …
shishito; oregano/chili/shallot-rub mako; eggplant, basil
The meal was a bit Spanish, -ish. Or maybe it was just Chelsea Mediterranean. But it was also definitely local. a generous number of large shishito peppers (all were juicy, some were actually sweet, none were fiery, or even suggested fire, and every one was delicious), the gift of a friend, from her garden, ‘Lower …
crab cakes, tomato/beet salsa; herb/spice-dressed labneh
I knew there would be crab cakes, but everything else was pretty much thrown together minutes before we sat down. It was a greenmarket day, and therefore a fish day at our place, but I didn’t really need anything other than seafood, and I remembered that I had some really terrific frozen crab cakes that …
maccheroncini with romanesco, micro red amaranth
It’s was a gorgeous bowl of pasta, and as tasty as it looked. The original recipe is from Sara Jenkins. two tablespoons of homemade bread crumbs heated in a small amount of olive oil inside a small vintage seasoned cast iron pan over medium heat until golden brown, set aside, the florets of a medium …
pasta, alliums, lemon, chilis, habanada, smoked monkfish
Made in heaven, when we weren’t even paying that much attention. This simple looking dish of pasta far exceeded both of our expectations. I haven’t been posting on this blog lately, because we’ve been very busy trying to get the apartment ready for friends who will be staying here while we are in their Berlin apartment. I’m making an …
insalata caprino; spaccatelli, cetriolo, scalogno, finocchio
..and also a bit of peperoncini. I think I’ve come to prefer chevre over mozzarella as an accompaniment to the best tomatoes, especially when the cheese is as good as that produced by Ardith Mae. For the purposes of this meal at least, which, even without buffalo mozzarella (we have buffalo pasta instead), is more Italian than …
Wienerschnitzel; Saltzkartoffeln; Rotkohlsalat
I’ve got the cooking process down, if not quite pat. ‘Wienerschnitzel‘ is not yet something that pops up inside my mind’s rotating index of reiterated home meals, but it’s on the way. The idea of this classic dish occasionally pops up inside my head, even when I’m not in Germany or Austria, but unless I see a supplier …
crab cakes, tomato-mint-chili salsa; asparagus with thyme
The Greenmarket-sourced crab cakes were as wonderful as always, and they hit it off with the radish micro greens; the salsa was a little different from so many earlier versions, and the ingredients somewhat more eccentric; and I think the addition of thyme sprigs worked pretty well with the excellent roasted local asparagus, shown below before …
crab cakes on a spicy tomato salsa; bicolored ‘kalettes’
The crabcakes and their tomato ‘bed’ were both pretty familiar, but the greens stripped from a hybrid stalk of Brussels sprouts and kale was new. The verdict – for both the farmer and the cook – is still out on these particular greens. two crab cakes from PE & DD Seafood (the ingredients are crab, …
