farro salad ~

Farro....wonderful, versatile, nutty and satisfying this grain in one of my favorites! This particular salad is just a starting point for ideas. You can add prosciutto or seared pancetta, use a different cheese either feta or parmesan. For this recipe I used haricot vert, the small French green beans, but you could use broccolini, asparagus or sugar snap peas. ingredients 2 c cooked Farro 1/4 c sliced Kalamata Olives 1/4 c diced Fennel 5 ounces Haricot Vert (Green Beans) 1/2 c grated Machego cheese 1/4 c toasted pine nuts 1 lemon, zest and juice 1/2 c olive [...]

tomato, bacon jam ~

I love pestos and tapenades...tomato, olive, artichoke... they are a necessary ingredient in preparing my go to sauces for pasta, vegetables, chicken and meat during the week. Versatile and flavorful they are easily prepped on the weekend and they make weeknight cooking easy and tasty. Recently I discovered tomato bacon jam! Right, who knew you could put so much flavor in a little jar! Being a foodie I love creating my own interpretation of what others are cooking ... putting my own spin on it so to speak. The original recipe I read that peaked my interest was published by The [...]

tomato crostini ~

Summer...summer...summer...ah the flavors of summer! Tomatoes being one of the seasons best gifts. With all the different colors, shapes and tastes of the heirloom tomato market now a days you have a bounty from which to choose to design your own masterpiece. We are plodding through a kitchen remodel and our outdoor kitchen is somewhat limited. However with the flavors and the weather of the summertime we are bravely shouldering through it. These lovely little crostini were created with a toothy sourdough artisanal bread lovingly made by Kneaded by Hand, a beautiful vibrant olive oil, lemon juice from my Mother's lemon [...]

chicken stock ~

Homemade chicken stock is very easy to make and without a doubt more flavorful than anything that comes in a box! You can season it any way you like. I add a few dried porcini mushrooms and a dried Guajillo pepper for an added depth of flavor. The chicken is browned in this particular recipe so it renders a darker, richer stock. If you want a light color stock don't brown the chicken. The stock is very easy and quick to prep....it just needs to simmer a bit on the stove so start it when you are going to be around [...]

spatchcock chicken ~

Once your roast a spatchcock chicken this way you will never go back to the old roast chicken method again...I promise. The beautiful part about roasting a chicken that has been butterflied is that none of the pieces are over or underdone. The skin is perfectly crispy with a beautiful golden brown color from the compound herb butter. You can substitute olive oil for the butter but it will have a different flavor. Don't skip the step of rubbing the herb mixture under the skin it really does add flavor to the chicken. ingredients 1 4 lb butterflied chicken, backbone removed [...]

chicken stock ~

Browning the chicken before you add the water gives this stock a beautiful amber color and a richness adding flavor to anything you use this stock in. From soups to stews to pasta sauces there isn't anything more tasty than home made chicken stock and it doesn't take that much time to do. When I know I'm going to be home working on recipes or the computer I put a pot on the stove and it's ready when I'm finished with working. There really is no comparison to a boxed or canned stock with this homemade version. Just try it once...I [...]

taquitos ~

This is a quick, easy and satisfying dinner you and your kids will love. Whether you use a rotisserie chicken or last nights leftover steak this is a great meal. I used the Harissa that I make but you could easily substitute it for a thick salsa. Also I use creme fraiche but sour cream works perfectly. I mixed spicy Monterey Jack and Cheddar but you could also use queso fresco in place of those. Of course I used our Sous Salt Chipotle Pepper Salt to season them to perfectly. These taquitos are not fried they are baked which makes them [...]

harissa ~

I am always looking for ingredients that make a recipe pop....this recipe for Harissa is just that. A combination of dried chilies bring a rich almost sweet, smoky flavor to this lovely sauce. Not spicy hot just rich chili flavor. It does that a little prep but once it's made it will keep in the fridge to use as an additive to pasta, salad dressing, as a rub for chicken and pork. Yesterday I added it to creme fraiche tossed it with left over chicken and rolled it in taquitos! Voila! Meal in minutes with a previous days prep. Make sure that [...]

summer pasta salad ~

It’s almost summer time... which in our Salty house means that pasta frequently becomes the vehicle for the delivery of our evening culinary experience! At room temperature or cold a pasta salad can deliver all the wonderful tastes you need to satisfy your palette. Whether you want to include pancetta or roasted chicken or keep it vegetarian, a one dish meal can be prepared early in the day and enjoyed easily at the end of it. I love this recipe especially because of the sweet little roasted tomatoes and the feta which becomes creamy and adds a richness to the pasta. [...]

oven roasted tomato gems ~

You can't go wrong with this Sous Salt recipe and the options you will have using these lovely little roasted tomato gems in your cooking. Whether you decide that you like them roasted longer which will give you a dryer tomato result or on the shorter side which provides a more moist tomato the results are terrific, tasty and transforming. I use a combination of the yellow and red tomatoes they seem to be the sweetest. If you have a green thumb like my sister and grow your own in your garden even better. Your combinations are almost limitless. Once roasted you can put them [...]
