Mostly because we’ve been running around during New York art fair week, I haven’t been to the Greenmarket in 5 days. Also, I haven’t bought any fish in 8, but we’ve still had to eat, and we’ve done pretty well, with the help of a great pizza one night. I had thought about going to Union Square on …

roasted squid, Sicilian oregano and chilis, habanada; rapini
I wrote yesterday about my obsession with Habanada peppers. Later that same day I had a chance to remind myself just why. I’ve gone through the simple routine of this recipe many times, once, in a small break with the orthodoxy, even introducing a small pinch of the dried orange gold sort. Last night however, maybe …
quail eggs on toast; spelt spaghettone, habanada, cheese
I had these little eggs, which I knew would make a good appetizer, especially if they were slipped onto some extraordinary toast. For the main course, I thought of having something pretty simple while still a little wintry. I headed for Luca Donofrio‘s fresh pasta shop inside Eataly in the afternoon, and there I found some thick fresh spelt pasta which …
tilefish with potatoes, sage, garlic, habanada; watercress
I’ve cooked the noble Atlantic tilefish a number of times, usually following this Melissa Clark recipe, but on Friday I decided to go a very different route. I began with Mark Bittman’s general outline for preparing most any white fish fillets roasted with potatoes, but didn’t stop there. There were potatoes. The entire meal, except for the fresh …
spaghetti, smoked eel, garlic, habanada, chili, pangrattato
Like all non-farmed fish, it’s essentially ‘game’, but unlike almost any other fish, it’s actually not ‘fishy’ at all. We love eel, fresh or smoked. We are therefore always very grateful to the folks who are willing to go through the, literally, heroics of cleaning these magnificent creatures. With smoked eel however, the worst of the process, removing the …
mushroom pasta, celery, leek, habanada, pinoli, arugula
We had planned to go out to dinner with visiting relatives this night, but after the exertions of the Women’s March they had begged off, pleading fatigue. There was no time to pick up the ingredients for a substitute, but fortunately I had a package of very good pasta in the freezer, which I try to …
roasted squid, oregano, chili, habanada, lemon; pak choy
It was like they’d known each other all their lives; the cephalopods and the pak choy got along famously last night, after only a few minutes of acquaintance, er, ..prep. Anything fresh and green is hugely appreciated at farmers’ markets in January, so this beautiful vegetable must have gone fast. It was almost mid-afternoon when I arrived at …
ricotta and honey ravioli, brown butter, habanada, mizuna
I had decided to take a break between two strongly-flavored meals, so my thoughts went to a simple pasta, and one of Luca’s fresh pastas in particular, my idea being that many of his specials could be best enjoyed with the very lightest of additions. When I arrived at the counter I saw a honey and …
squash-filled ravioli, leek, sage, habanada, parmesan
On Tuesday I had intended to prepare a sauce for a dry pasta, but I couldn’t decide on which sauce or which pasta, and it was getting late, so I thought it might be time for the package of filled pasta I had in the freezer; the sauce suggested itself, and in fact almost made itself. Rana butternut squash-filled dried …
fried egg, leek, habanada, herbs, micro sorrel, bacon, toast
It was a fairly unexceptional Sunday breakfast for us, but made exceptional for the pleasure of sitting down with a view of the snow on the roof garden. There were 6 eggs and a little thick bacon from Millport Dairy Farm; a thinly-sliced green section of one baby leek and a bit of a home-dried heatless, orange …
