There was no fresh fish, and I hadn’t thought far enough ahead to arrange for a meat. I had assumed I would put together a meal using a dried pasta and something from the pretty broad ready choice of possible ingredients, but when it came close to dinner, I hadn’t come up with anything. One …

sautéed sea bass; mushrooms, chili, lemon, parsley; tardivo
The 4 or 5 rows of colors and textures look great here, but I decided to also include a low angle detail image. Even under ordinary circumstances it’s difficult to resist the aesthetic and taste appeal of sea bass fillets, but when they’re on sale, as they were on Wednesday, it’s virtually impossible. This …
pan roast chicken, shallot/chilis/wine/herb sauce; brassica
“A Chicken for Every Pot” Hoover never said any such thing, although his enthusiastic supporters did include the phrase in in a 1928 campaign advertisement boasting that Republican prosperity had: ‘”..put the proverbial ‘chicken in every pot.’ And a car in every backyard, to boot.” The Republican prosperity is history, but the attraction of chicken continues …
crab cakes, green tomato salsa, boiled potato, micro radish
Because of what the severe weekend weather had done for local fishing, our regular Monday fishmonger, P.E. & D. D. Seafood, wasn’t at the Union Square Greenmarket that day. Since I had learned this from the list on the GrowNYC.org app, and because I had plenty of vegetables on hand, I didn’t have to head …
December breakfast: bacon and eggs, tomatoes and chilis
It was the first morning of December, so of course we enjoyed local tomatoes with our breakfast. The 2 that I used in this meal, saving the rest for a dinner the next day, came from a small stash that I thought at the time would be the last of a long season, but at …
spicy fried whiting, boiled potatoes; purple tomatillo salsa
It was another of those double take reactions, when the fish monger quotes you the price after you’ve chose your fish of the day: $3.50? Only $3.50, for enough excellent whole fresh fish for 2 diners? Yup. And very nicely cleaned, as well. They were easily and quickly prepared, and delicious; also, the bones were …
theater supper: dark corn bread with labneh and ciauscolo
When your 3-hour play started late, but you still need a supper, and then you want to continue the discussion that began when you entered the theater: thin slices of dense ‘Homadama’ (wheat, corn, water, maple syrup, salt, slaked lime) from Lost Bread Co., not toasted, because they were both very fresh and very firm, …
grilled swordfish salad; roasted goat rack; brussels sprouts
The only swordfish steaks left inside the fishers’ bucket on Friday when I arrived at his stand in the Union Square Greenmarket were a bit larger than what we normally share, so, at Paul’s suggestion, that evening I decided to cut off a smaller section, grill it with the other two, larger parts, that we …
marinated, breaded Swordfish; potatoes; roasted tomatoes
It was a wonderful dinner. one swordfish steak (19 ounces) from Pura Vida Seafood Company in the Union Square Greenmarket, divided into two 7 1/2-ounces pieces for this dinner, and one 4-ounce piece that would be part of an appetizer the next day, all three marinated for more than half an hour in a mixture …
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 …
