One-Pot Shrimp and White Beans
February 13, 2014 | Posted by Julz under 30 Minute Meals, Fish/Seafood |
Food Trend: It seems like everyone I know is using slow cookers. While I have one (that I have yet to use) I’m more into the one-pot – or in this case one-pan – meals. Quick to cook and easy to clean. Inspiration: My mother-in-law Sandy is an AMAZING cook, and naturally she has her […] more
Baked Clams Oreganata
September 30, 2013 | Posted by Julz under Fish/Seafood, Italian Influence |
Food Trend: I love that the new trend in Italian Restaurants is going back to “Old School” Red-Sauce joints. Crisp white tablecloths, the smell of garlic and a waiter with a thick accent and perhaps a tux…this makes me crave two things…fried calamari and baked clams. I’ll save the Calamari for another time, this post […] more
Lemon Sole with Blistered Cherry Tomato Sauce
September 25, 2013 | Posted by Julz under 30 Minute Meals, Fish/Seafood |
Inspiration: My brother makes the most AMAZING sauteed fish dish, which we all call, Randy’s Fish Dish. He roasts garlic and caramelizes onions for an hour, and incorporates almost every fresh herb you can imagine, and a ton of butter. It is really so good. However I could never recreate this masterpiece, so I altered it […] more
Sriracha Shrimp
August 27, 2013 | Posted by Julz under Asian Influence, Fish/Seafood |
Food Trend: Anything Sriracha My Adaptation: I LOVE the spice of Sriracha, and most people use it as a condiment. But I wanted to make it the “star” of my sauce. I needed to cut the spice so I added lime and soy and olive oil. Inspiration: The Chili Lobster at Forgione in TriBeca more
Thai Lemongrass Scallops
August 26, 2013 | Posted by Julz under Asian Influence, Fish/Seafood, Soup |
Food Trend: Anything Thai My Adaptation: I’m really into “Asian” flavors and I’ve been wanting to make a Thai Coconut Sauce for a while. I wanted a bright, fresh dish that raised the bar on a “white” scallop in a light sauce. Shelling peas, Orange Cauliflower & Sweet Corn were the “pop” I needed to […] more
Bloody Mary Crab Cakes
August 22, 2013 | Posted by Julz under Fish/Seafood |
Food Trend: Bloody Mary’s My Adaptation: Bloody Mary Crab Cakes. Bloodys & Crab Cakes go great together, so I thought, why not combine them! Inspiration: Full disclaimer, I LOVE Top Chef, and I follow the chef-testants that I like on twitter. Just after being on Top Chef Masters, Angelo Sosa was opening a new restaurant, […] more
Spicy Tuna “Burger”
August 22, 2013 | Posted by Julz under Asian Influence, Fish/Seafood |
Food Trend: Unusual Takes on Burgers My Adaptation: Spicy Tuna “Burgers” – This is a take on the trendy Tuna on Crispy Rice, but instead of a rice pillow, the tuna is between two rice “buns” Inspiration: Several months ago my friend Jen sent me a photo of a Spicy Tuna Burger. So when I […] more
Saffron Sunchoke Soup
May 13, 2012 | Posted by Julz under Fish/Seafood, Soup |
Saffron Sunchoke Soup with sautéed shrimp, shitake, and black trumpet mushrooms. Pickles ramps and fresh parsley. It was a beautiful Friday when I walked through the Union Square Farmer’s Market on my way to work (which, yes, be jealous, is a daily occurrence). I couldn’t resist buying fresh Sunchokes (aka Jerusalem Artichokes) and Ramps before […] more
