The secret is in the tart, bright sauce - the delightfully crispy crunch of the exterior of the meatball - and the extra bit of texture and umami that comes by way of the meaty walnuts that permeate each delicious bite. Take extra care to gently handle the meat when rolling each ball to prevent a tough, less than perfect final product; which, when you think about it, is a technique that could be applied to other delicate actions…or maybe, just life in general. Thump thump.
Mmmm - figs on toast; so simple, but always a cocktail party favorite. This recipes calls for ricotta cheese and fig preserves…but it’s also exquisite with gorgonzola and orange marmalade. I’ll be preparing a similar version next month at Blake Street House for an early Valentine’s Day takeover with kasundi…a delicious Indian tomato sauce that is nothing short of culinary nirvana with fresh figs. Thump Thump!
This boozy crème brûlée recipe is just in time for the holidays - a rich, creamy custard that’s wonderfully satisfying with each CRACK, SCOOP, and BITE!
Ramen is hearty, filling…an eastern soul food designed to be slurped; and the Blue Elephant red curry paste added to this quick, hack of a broth gives the final dish a wonderfully ethereal nuance. This one promises to be a hit this year…so be prepared to make it more than once. Thump thump - slurp slurp!
This appetizer-esque recipe is also the jam for watching football or basketball (GO HOGS!) during the holiday break. So, do yourself a favor - don’t just take a big bite of the usual leftovers like turkey sammies and hash - take a chomp on the wild side with these killer YELLOW CURRY MASHED POTATO CROQUETTES - thump thump!
