corned beef hash ~

Corned beef hash served with a poached egg is one my families favorite meals. We don't have it often but when we do it's worth every morsel. It's so wonderfully satisfying in multiple ways. The gently poached egg, the flavorful corn of the beef with the crusty shallots and potatoes....just devine. Truly though you need to cook your own corned beef. It's just not the same when store bought. Cooking a corned beef is very easy it's just vegetables and a couple bottles of beer. Recipe is on the site. Once cooked though you can make this delightful dish. ingredients 4 c corned beef [...]

shrimp patties ~

One of my favorite chefs of all time is Jacques Pepin....the other rainy morning (one of our many this winter) I was ensconced in bed, surrounded by the pups watching old school cooking shows. Jacques Pepin was doing a show on fish and prepared this wonderful looking shrimp patty. Amy decided to try her hand at it. Now that she's working for a living she needs quick and tasty meals that don't break the budget. This one was born to please.... ingredients for 2 1 pound shelled and deveined shrimp 1 small bunch of chives, chopped apx 2 T 1 clove [...]

chick pea, kale & sun choke saute ~

Not only is this a colorful and healthy saute but it's visually inviting...which is the precursor for its appetizing flavor. Another simple to construct dish that can be a main course for a light meal or a side dish. Certainly choose whichever Sous Salt you would like to use...I used the Grey Herb, but the Sun Dried Tomato or the Lemon Thyme, Porcini Mushroom or even the Smoked Paprika would be terrific! The recipe calls for Kale ... substitute Spinach if you prefer. ingredients 4 SERVINGS 1 15 oz can drained and rinsed garbanzo beans ⅓ cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil [...]

cauliflower soup ~

I love cauliflower, well truth be told I just love food! And I love sharing what tastes good and is easy to prepare. With the rainy days upon us there is nothing better than a warm soup with a great artisan crusty bread. Now a days the markets have such an array of finely crafted breads from an Italian Herb Slab to a hearty Dark Seeded Wheat….any loaf would be terrific dipped in this soup. All you need is a nice fire and your family! Ingredients 1 large head cauliflower, cored and chopped into small florettes 2 T olive oil 1 [...]

roasted cauliflower & pepitos

Now I know you might be saying how can a vegetable be a warm, fuzzy, comfort food. This one is. Cauliflower gets such a bad rap. It's actually quite versatile and because it absorbs the flavors you roast or cook it with it it chameleon "esque" in its taste. I found this one courtesy of BonAppetit but have home tested it frequently. ingredients SERVINGS: 4 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided 1 large head of cauliflower Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper 2 tablespoons unsalted butter ¼ cup raw shelled pumpkin seeds ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, [...]

Made this oven baked chicken the other night and not only was it crispy and moist but much less messy than fried chicken. I used Grey Salt with Herbs & Garlic.

sous salt hummus

Hummus to me is a perfect little snack when I am looking for something a bit healthier but tasty and satisfying. Versatile it is platform you can flavor it with a multitude of ingredients. Pine nuts, garlic, Siracha, artichokes, roasted red peppers it's almost limitless. In addition to a snack I use my Hummus to thicken soups, curries and stews. Far less caloric that flour and butter. Here is my basic recipe for Hummus but please feel free to be creative in your interpretation. One more note I've used our Olive, Thyme, Lemon Zest Sous Salt in this recipe but any of the [...]
