Beet Salad with Goat Cheese Recipe. Smoky Sweet Potato Burgers with Roasted Garlic Cream and Avocado. Before we talk burgers, let me tell you what I’m doing. I’m eating some blueberry yogurt pretzels (which are oh-so awesome… but would be even awesomer if they were really coated in yogurt and not white chocolate disguised as yogurt) and drinking a san pellgrino aranciata that is spiked with um… vodka, malibu and tequila. With those pretty perfectly square ice cubes. I know. I just couldn’t decide! But what is up with all of these flavors? I mean, it was great, if you’re into that sort of thing that includes plastering yourself to the couch for so long that your body forms an identical indentation that’s semi-permanent, and ordering pizza Friday night which not only was dinner, but then also became lunch and then uh, dinner again on Saturday.

This would have been the perfect time to do those things that I “never have time for” such as fold a massive pile of laundry that is sitting smack dab in our living room floor (classy. want to come over?)

Dinner Tonight: Garlic Shrimp with Basil, Tomatoes, and Pepper Flakes | Serious Eats : Recipes - StumbleUpon. [Photo: Blake Royer] I'm not sure I'll ever quite tire of the magical combination of garlic and chile—when a recipe begins with a little olive oil and garlic and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes, I know we're off to a good start.

I pulled this one from So Easy by Ellie Kreiger, which is full of health-conscious recipes that pack a lot of flavor. Healthy it might have been, but more importantly, delicious. Even though it's December and the snow has been falling furiously in Chicago, the sweet bursts of the grape tomatoes (which tend to be pretty tasty even through the winter months compared to regular tomatoes) and fragrant basil brought to mind a summer picnic. Grilled Prawns & Anchovy Butter – Culinary Musings | CULINARY MUSINGS. We’ve been on a “No Reservations” kick lately and in this household, anything Anthony Bourdain says, goes.

Carne Asada Recipe. If you don't have a grill you can use a well-seasoned grill pan or a large cast iron pan on the stove-top. Heat on high to sear and then lower the heat to finish cooking. Make sure to use your stove vent, searing the steak this way can smoke up the kitchen! Method 1 Lay the steak in a large non-reactive bowl or baking dish. 2 Preheat your grill for high direct heat, with part of the grill reserved with fewer coals (or gas flame) for low, indirect heat.

Remove the steak from the marinade. Place on the hot side of the grill. Once both sides are well seared, move the steak to the cool side of the grill, with any thicker end of the steak nearer to the hot side of the grill. Test with a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the steak, or use your fingers (see The Finger Test to Check the Doneness of Meat). 3 Place the steak on a cutting board, tent with foil and let rest for 10 minutes. Use a sharp, long bladed knife (a bread knife works great for slicing meat) to cut the meat. Hello! Sticky Balsamic Ribs - StumbleUpon. OK, Folks. No joke, these are the best ribs ever!!

Korean Beef Bulgogi Recipe, Video, and Cooking Tips at Epicurious.com. B eef Bulgogi sounds very foreign and exotic, but actually it's simply marinated beef wrapped in lettuce leaves. The Culinary Institute of America's Chef John J. Nihoff shows us how to make this authentic Korean recipe—thinly sliced sweet and savory sirloin, served with rice and a variety of condiments. Commonly called Korean barbecue in the U.S., "bulgogi" translates to "fire meat" in English. The term "refers to the way the meat is cooked, first marinated, then grilled over hot coals or an open fire," explains Jenny Kwak in Dok Suni: Recipes from My Mother's Korean Kitchen.

Bulgogi can also easily be cooked in a pan, as Chef Nihoff demonstrates in the videos. It gets its characteristic flavor from a complex marinade that generally contains soy sauce, sesame oil, sesame seeds, mirin, fruit (Asian pear, apple, or kiwi), and ginger. These ingredients reflect a principle of Korean cooking: the harmonization of five essential flavors (salty, sweet, sour, hot, and bitter). Text by Megan O.

Here’s how you make it. Oh. Start by slicing the veggies: Lop the top and bottom off of the red pepper… Then slice the pepper down the middle.

Broiled or Grilled Veal Heart Recipe. Vegetarian Recipes. Shaved Zucchini Salad with Parmesan and Pine Nuts. Kay’s Pumpkin Curry. I was facing a major challenge, a catch 22 almost: I wanted to create a vegetarian pumpkin recipe for Kayotic Kitchen. But here’s the catch: my guy hates pumpkin. No, he doesn’t just dislike it, he hates it with a passion. I’m very adamant where it comes to finding ways to make people eat and even like those things they usually dislike. What can I say?
