One of my new favorite condiments is an incredibly light and fresh salsa made from tomatillos. A tomatillo is a small Mexican green fruit that’s wrapped around a paper-like husk. It’s not sweet, by the way, but tastes similar to green tomatoes with a little kick. You can find these at just about any grocery [...]
If I had a grill, this would’ve been so much better. But it’s all good. I’ve been trying to stay away from bread, hence the bun-less burger, but feel free to make your own with the bun. Start by chopping up 1/2 medium onion or one small onion and putting it in a nonstick pan [...]
So I keep hearing about this jicama stuff (pronounced hee-kah-mah I believe) all over the place and I finally decided to get some. I honestly didn’t even know where to start or how to cut it but I could say this experiment went very well. After I decided to make slaw I realized I didn’t [...]
I’m not experienced in cod. In fact, I’ve got a lot to learn about fish in general, but here’s an attempt to make an Asian style fish that is not sauteed, which is usually how I make it. Cod is a nice whitefish with a creamy, buttery flavor and a great mild fish to experiment [...]
If you’ve never had paneer, a fresh, mild Indian cheese, you should definitely check it out. It’s solid enough not to melt quickly, but soft enough to give some great texture to a dish like this. Feel free to leave this out and add veggies or meat instead. Oh, by the way, the fresh cilantro [...]
I really don’t like store-bought salsa. There, I said it. I think it’s crap. I’ve had maaaaybe one store-bought salsa in my life that I thought wasn’t too shabby. There are lots of different types of salsa but I’m going to show you how to make a super simple pico de gallo. You are welcome [...]
I’d like to post a more interesting recipe tonight, but you may find this one surprisingly yummy. Since I got a real job, I thought I’d be able to post like crazy on the weekends. Problem is, I don’t want to do ANYTHING on the weekends so I’ve been a little neglectful. My bad. It’s [...]
There is nothing extraordinary about this dish, but it was fast, savory, and incredibly tasty. Ya know what’s cool about limes? They kinda serve as a natural, healthy salt. I didn’t use any salt in this whole recipe and it was still amazing. Start by pouring some panko bread crumbs out on a plate. If [...]
