I had decided early in the day on Sunday that I would prefer cooking a dinner with meat that night to one with pasta, since I had a good supply of both vegetables – and small, or micro vegetables as well – since more of them could be incorporated in, as it turned out, a …

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. …
pasta, alliums, habanada, mushrooms, olives, parmesan
The pasta incorporated water buffalo milk, and the wine that accompanied it was from the part of Italy associated most closely with bufala, the Maremma region of Tuscany. Okay, maybe that’s not really relevant or important, but we like to think about these things, and both pasta and wine were delcious. The recipe I used was …
hemp pasta, celery, shallot, scallion, habanada, olive, pinoli
I love this pasta. It’s a very serious color, whether behind the cellophane window of the box as a very sophisticated dark grey, on the counter, where it lightens somewhat, or in the pasta bowl, where it looks more olive. But that’s only the start. The flavor is seductive, subtle yet pretty intense; if I …
steak, lemon, lovage; fingerlings, garlic, habanada; collards
Meat and potatoes. And greens. two incredibly delicious sirloin cap steaks (otherwise called ‘culotte’ here, ‘coulotte’ in France, ‘picanha’ in Brazil, or “the part where the cow was poked by ranchers“), from Sun Fed Beef/Maple Avenue Farms in their stall at the Union Square Greenmarket, brought to room temperature, seasoned on all sides with sea salt and freshly-ground black …
oregano/habanada/lemon-roasted squid; potatoes; sprouts
It had to be assembled fairly fast, because we were going to be at The Kitchen earlier that night, and we expected to arrive home late, after our second experience of Varispeed’s magnificent performance of Robert Ashley’s opera, ‘Improvement (Don Leaves Linda)’. My first choice at the Greenmarket fish stall (it was Wednesday, meaning the American …
kassler leftovers; parsnip habanada frites, brussels sprouts
The meat was a leftover, from a roast, but everyone should have such leftovers! The green vegetable would have been at its best had I moved it from the crisper to the oven a number of days sooner, so, not as spectacular as it should have been, but I did manage to roast the root …
squash ravioli, butter, scapes, habanada, sage, parmesan
This pasta is a familiar essay around here, in this or similar forms, and it’s an easy one. And, while I don’t think I’d want to serve this particular filled ravioli in the summer, it’s really satisfying in the fall and winter. the contents of a 10-ounce package of Rana butternut squash-filled round ravioli, cooked but …
olive/sage/habanada-roasted tautog; potatoes; claytonia
It’s a great fish, I always associate it with Rhode Island, which make it even greater, and the Melissa Clark recipe I often use is just about the greatest. So there. two 9-ounce tautog/blackfish fillets from American Seafood Company prepared using this recipe by Melissa Clark, as a model, laying the fish skinned side down and kept …
sea perch, blewits, habanada, garlic; eggplant, olives, mint
In many ways, this meal was almost the opposite of the one we enjoyed the day before: I wrote about Tuesday’s dinner that there were no contrivances or adornments, and this time nothing but the micro green garnish was left on its own. In fact last night I may have gone just a little too …
