For whatever reason, I was in a hurry and this dish was almost thrown together. It only worked out well because, since I cook almost every night, there are always some useful makings around, fresh or otherwise. one very small leek from Norwich Meadows Farm, softened in a tablespoon or so of olive oil inside a large enameled …

baked cod and potato, habanada, micro scallion; cabbage
Fish and potatoes, also dried habanada, and micro scallions. There was also the 3 mini cabbage, with some Italian stuff, but I think this entrée was still nothing like anyone’s mother used to make. two 8-ounce cod fillets from American Seafood at the Union Square Greenmarket (mostly using a recipe from Mark Bittman I first came across almost 12 years ago), …
lemon-roasted pork chop with habanada; fingerlings, herbs
I’ve been working with the same very simple recipe for years, but this was probably the richest, and even the most colorful version yet. I have no idea why. The only real changes last night were, one, that the meat came from a Pennsylvania Deutsch [sic] farm I’ve come to respect hugely for all of its produce, but which …
flounder, scallion, habanada, lemon, herb; grilled eggplant
Having prepared flounder only 2 weeks earlier, last night I felt I had to try hard not to duplicate the same I had done then. The first step may have been a decision to foreswear my micro greens this time. The result was every bit as delicious as what I somehow neglected at the time to describe as one of …
bacon, eggs, toast, lovage, hot & habanada chilis, greens
That bacon was as good as it looks. As was everything else, including the the eggs, which, for the first time in longer than I can remember, were not from a farmer at the Union Square Greenmarket, and [probably] not really local. While there on Saturday, I didn’t buy eggs, thinking I had 11 left in the refrigerator. Later …
basil-stuffed scallops; habanada, scallions; purple mustard
Saturday was my first trip to the Union Square Greenmarket since the previous Monday. I celebrated by picking up some beautiful large scallops, giving them a kind of treatment, analogous but on a much simpler scale, to that Julia Child outlined in her version of ‘Tournedos Rossini’ (filet steaks with artichoke hearts, foie gras, truffles, and madeira sauce) …
baked cod with potatoes, habanada, micro radish; minutina
Very, very nice dish. Both of them. I have to credit the addition of two small heatless habanada chilis for making this dish, one I’ve prepared a number of times , even more delicious than usual. The vegetable side? I think I’m getting better, and just a little more creative, at dealing with this relative newcomer to …
black sea bass, parsley, fennel, habanada, lemon; collards
I’ve only myself to blame for not being more creative more often. Much of the time I start dinner so late there’s not enough time left to think about or execute a new plan for familiar ingredients. This was one of those times, but fortunately I had other items on hand to make a familiar entrée at least a …
crab cake, tomato salsa; grilled leek, habanada, arugula
These were crab cakes with trimmings. The pictures probably betray the fact that when I put this meal together color may not have been the least consideration. The image below is of the grilled leeks after some heated Habanada pepper had been scattered on top, and before they were divided onto the plates. I had …
flounder, sage, habanada, leek, beet; yellow beans, lovage
This flounder doesn’t look shy, but the colors of its coat betray only some of the complexity of the flavors it inherited from the garlic, herb and vegetables with which it shared a pan. I no longer use a the original version of this recipe for the treatment of white fish, one in which I’ve incorporated hake, cod, several flatfish …
