Epic Crispy Quinoa Burgers Topped with Sweet Potato Fries, Beer Caramelized Onions + Gruyere
Where do I even begin? These burgers have so much going on. Hence the longest name I have ever posted and will hopefully ever post….hopefully! I am going to get so much flack for that title, but I don’t even care. These burgers are one hundred percent worth it and really it is not like there is a food blogging rule that does not allow long titles. Some people find them obnoxious, but some people probably say the same thing about me, so I guess it kind of fits. Oh and if you can believe it, I actually left something out. Alright, let’s just start with the main idea for these quinoa burgers. I wanted to create a quinoa burger that would actually rival the typical beef burger. I know you are thinking it’s just not possible, and trust me, I totally thought the same thing. So I started with that base, but swapped the regular quinoa with red quinoa, took out the buffalo sauce and added some seasonings and cheese. From here my idea of an epic burger just grew and grew.

Potato Burgers They do say that every day’s a school day, and last Wednesday was a case in point. That was when we in Ireland and the U.K. learned all about an interesting new principle at work in our local food systems: the Horse-n-Beef Uncertainty Principle, where the purchase of a factory-processed supermarket beef burger could leave you uncertain as to how much beef (or pork or horse meat) that burger actually contained. As it turns out, “often with other ingredients” covers a multitude Yes, a twitter timeline full of horsey puns that morning heralded the news that beef burgers supplied by a number of Irish meat processing plants to several Irish and British supermarkets were found by the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) to contain horse DNA, an alarmingly large quantity in one particular case.

Infographic: Aromatics And How To Use Them It’s that time of year again, when even people who don’t cook much will be throwing down in the kitchen for the holidays. Luckily, CookSmarts has your back. The home-cooking resource continually comes up with great infographics, and its latest one explaining the world of aromatics is no different. The infographic starts with an explanation of aromatics, then highlights each cuisine’s most fundamental combination of aromatic ingredients. Some really helpful ones for your globe-trotting culinary experimentation include: Chinese Middle Eastern Thai We really like that this infographic takes the time to separate ‘sofrito‘ and ‘soffritto.’ Latin and Latin American countries use ‘sofrito‘ to refer to a specific set of aromatic variations. Since there’s a lot of geographic area involved, there are a ton of variations. Meanwhile, Italian cuisine uses soffritto, which may look and sound similar, but is actually completely different. The entire infographic is a great reference to have.

como.come.cami - Hamburguesa de Remolacha || Best Beet Burger Ever Pienso constantemente en esa hamburguesa de remolacha que me comí en San Francisco... estaba tan rica y jugosa! Tengo ganas de hacerla hace rato, pero por alguna razón nunca lo hice... hasta ahora! Con un poco de inspiración de My New Roots y Eat, Live, Run, logré crear la receta perfecta! I still think about that wonderful burger I had in San Francisco a few months back... Chicken Quesadillas Chicken Quesadillas are absolutely a go-to recipe in our household, but while I’ve made them on my show (and have posted different variations of quesadillas here through the years), I just realized yesterday that I’ve never posted the recipe! I’m organized and on top of things like that. Here it is! Start with three boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Sprinkle them generously with whatever you’d like: taco seasoning, Cajun seasoning, or just a mix of chili powder, cumin, seasoned salt, etc. Heat some oil in a skillet over medium to medium-high heat… And cook them on both sides until they’re nice and brown on the surface and totally cooked in the middle. Then remove them from the heat and let them cool slightly. Next, slice a big, honkin’ onion into thick slices… Then grab a big bell pepper (this one’s from my garden!) And cut it into slices. Set the same skillet over medium to medium-high heat (don’t clean it! And cook them until they’re nice and brown. Now it’s time to build the quesadillas!

Quinoa and Black Bean Burger and a “Grain Mains” Book Giveaway The media is awash in the benefits of “whole grains” these days. So much that the big food companies have jumped on board touting “whole grains” in everything from cookies to crackers to Cheerios. While my guess is that those products might be slightly better for you than their more processed counterparts, I can’t help but feel this is a bit akin to greenwashing. This is why I find myself trying to cook with whole grains in their original form more and more. The benefits are clear; whole grains are good for the body. They fill you up with soluble and non-soluble fiber which encourages you to eat less and aids in digestion. The new cookbook by Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough, Grain Mains: 101 Surprising and Satisfying Whole Grain Recipes for Every Meal of the Day , is filled with recipes featuring whole grains used in a variety of ways. I like it when a cookbook not only inspires me to cook from its recipes but also teaches me about the food or culture. Ingredients Instructions Notes ?
