Yellow Beans with Tomato and Garlic

It's been an odd growing season around here this summer (if you can even call it summer), what with all the cool weather and rain, so everything was late and most of the things I regularly buy were neither plentiful nor so good this time around.  However, there is always that one fruit or vegetable that seems to thrive on the peculiarities and this year was no exception.  The beans seemed to rise to the challenge, and every time I went to the market they looked so bright and fresh and tasty that I ended up buying them every time.  Everything else ranged from "oh my, the poor dears," to "well I guess these look ok," but the beans just shone.  That is the one thing that I can hold onto from this season - the beans were plentiful and delicious.

I mostly made my Slow-Braised Green Beans, which were a hit pretty much everywhere I took them.  But this week I was gifted with the most beautiful yellow beans from my friend's garden and they were so firm and fresh that I wanted to try to retain as much of that fresh crispness as I could.  So I decided to try a different technique.  I wanted to cook them quickly but I did not want them to be too crisp, and as anyone who has cooked beans knows, the line between perfectly cooked and a bowl of mush is very fine, indeed.  That is why I was so happy to find the slow-braised method; it is the only time where the beans can cook for a long time without ending up a pile of mush.

But I wanted something faster than the slow-braising method, and I didn't feel like pulling out the wok for a stir-fry, which is another method of cooking the beans without overcooking them that I will sometimes use.  Besides, I wanted to try a different method to see if I have learned anything new in the past few years.  So I decided to just saute them in a skillet and hope for the best.

I was quite happy with the results.  When the beans were cooked I removed them from the skillet so I could thicken the braising liquid.  I ended up with perfectly cooked beans covered in a thick, rich sauce.

YELLOW BEANS WITH TOMATO AND GARLIC

4 servings

1 lb yellow beans, trimmed and broken in half
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp butter
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh thyme (or 1/2 tsp dried)
1 tsp fresh dill (or 1/2 tsp dried)
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup tomato puree

Heat oil and butter over medium-high heat in medium sized skillet. Add garlic and cook for a minute or two, stirring constantly, being careful not to let it burn. Add the beans and cook for about 5 minutes, until they just start to get tender. Add the wine, tomato puree, thyme and dill. Season with the salt and pepper.

As soon as the liquid begins to boil take the heat down to low, cover the skillet, and let the beans cook for ten minutes (or less if you like them more crisp).

Remove the beans from the skillet with a slotted spoon and set them aside in your serving plate or bowl.  Cook down the tomato and wine liquid over high heat until it thickens, about 7 minutes. Serve the beans with the thickened sauce poured over them.

Sopes with Baked Beans with Poblano Peppers and Tomatillo Salsa

A couple of weeks ago one of my favorite stands at the Green Market had beautiful tomatillos and Treasure Island had some gorgeous poblano peppers.

So I made a batch of tomatillo salsa.  I modeled it after the tomatillo pesto I posted about here, but I didn't look up the recipe and forgot the toasted walnuts and lime juice but it was just fine, and tasted great.  I thought it would go well with the Baked Beans with Poblano Peppers I posted about here, and to complete the dish I decided to make Oven Baked Sopes on which to serve them.

I felt like a genius for coming up with this winning meal and ate like royalty.  You can eat like royalty, too.  Just follow the links!

Spiced Roasted Cauliflower

I wanted to roast some cauliflower and was thinking about what spices I wanted to use.  I love it roasted with za'atar but had just made za'atr bread for a potluck dinner and had used it all for that.  I also like it roasted with cumin and coriander so I decided to go in that direction.  So I decided to go with a more Indian-spiced theme, but I wanted more than the cumin, coriander and turmeric combination I usually use with roasted vegetables so I basically pulled out the entire army of basic Indian spices.

The result was spectacular.  The spices blended together perfectly and provided a fresh, vibrant flavor to the cauliflower.  This is a dish that is sure to wow even the most jaded palate.

Poached Fish with Tomato and Saffron

A few weeks ago I was talking with the fish guy at Whole Foods, as has become my habit.  I don't know all that much about cooking fish and have been reluctant to tackle it at home.  In the past, when I ate out more often, I would make a point of ordering fish whenever possible partly to avoid having to prepare it at home but still be able to enjoy it on a somewhat regular basis.

It is no surprise that I have so little experience with fish.  The only fish we had at home when I was growing up was canned salmon, canned tuna, and some solid frozen block of tasteless mush that seemed common in the '70s - halibut or haddock or something like that.  The canned tuna went into a pretty decent salad but the salmon went into an especially dreadful dinnertime nemesis of mine:  the dreaded salmon croquette.  And the block of fish ice went into the oven as is and then was splashed with lemon juice (bottled) just before serving.  It was pretty disgusting.  Like most children in America, the only fish I truly liked was fish sticks, and that was mainly as a vehicle for tartar sauce.  As an adult, that morphed into a love for breaded fried fish and that was pretty much it for me.

These days I eat all kinds of fish - fried, grilled, broiled, poached; even raw.  It took some getting used to, but I love sushi and tuna tartare.  Basically, if someone else is preparing it for me, I love all fish.

Sadly, however, these days the only way I'm likely to have fish is if I prepare it myself.  The first technique I learned was how to broil it; mostly salmon and the occasional tilapia.  To my mind, there is little finer in the world than a nice piece of salmon seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic and dill and broiled just to the barest hint of doneness.  Whenever I wanted fish I would hope that the salmon or tilapia looked good and if it didn't I would change my dinner plans.

I've been looking to expand my repertoire, both with techniques and with kinds of fish, and I found a recipe I had pulled out of Bon Appetit a while ago for poached cod with tomato and saffron.  I decided to try it on some cod I had finally mustered the courage to purchase, and was pleased with the results.  So pleased that I started looking for opportunities to purchase firm white-fleshed fish so I could practice some more, and fiddle with the recipe as is my wont, and poaching has become a staple in my repertoire.

There have been a few occasions when I was browsing the fish department when I ran across paiche .  I had never heard of it before, so I asked what it was.  Turns out it is a large white-fleshed fish native to the Amazon that has barely changed from the Miocene epoch thousands of years ago.  All I knew was that it looked good so I brought some home with me.  It made for a most flavorful dish.

This recipe is quick and easy, and only takes about half an hour from start to finish.  It is a perfect dinner for those nights when you want something special but don't have a lot of time or energy for anything complicated.

Sweet and Sour Lentils

I can't believe how much time has passed since my last post.  I wish I could say it's because I've been whipping up a storm in the kitchen, but that is not the case.  I am cooking, just not a whole lot that's new.  For some reason I am not feeling too inspired.

Although part of the reason is that I have become thoroughly and totally obsessed with sourdough.  I hope to start sharing what I have discovered soon, but it has been six months and I feel like I've just barely broken the surface of what is possible, and have barely come up for air to work on other things.

But as always, there have been moments when I have felt the need to try something new.  And that is just what I did a few weeks ago.  I have been fascinated by a recipe for Sweet and Sour Lentils in one of my favorite cookbooks for years now.  I could not imagine a successful integration between the ubiquitous Chinese restaurant entree and the earthly legume.  I would pass over it as I thumbed through the book looking for ideas, but then invariably I would turn the page back, look over the recipe, and wonder how it would taste.

My curiosity finally got the better of me, and pineapples were on sale at the grocery store, so it seemed like a good time to give it a try.  But I also had a glut of apricots from the Green City Market that were in serious danger of going bad before I could use them so I thought why not use apricots instead of pineapple?  Truth be told, I'm not a huge fan of pineapple and I figured apricots have a similar flavor profile of sweet and tart so I might as well go for it.

The result?  A surprisingly delicious blend of flavors that should not necessarily work together but do.  In addition to substituting apricots for the pineapple I did a little tweaking here and there and came up with something truly delicious.

I have always had trouble making lentils look good, so I don't know how appealing this looks but I can tell you, it is quite tasty and I will definitely be making it again.  It is perfect for a workday lunch.

Pasta alla Carbonara

One of the things I loved most about living in a large house with four other women was the different cooking backgrounds and skills each one of us brought to the table (pun intended).  This was years ago in Austin, and we did not have the ready access to information that we have today.  But we all worked at the Public Library, so we at least had access to a vast physical database of information.  The kitchen was large enough to house two refrigerators (and a washing machine!), so space was not an issue and our schedules were different enough that we were each able to do our thing mealwise without getting in anyone's way.

We mostly cooked and ate for ourselves during the week, but on weekends we would usually cook and eat together, along with any friends who happened to be around.  And there were always friends hanging around, as we had four acres of land, a covered basketball court, a swimming pool, and a trampoline available to us.  (Yes, that was one sweet deal.)

And one of the meals that a housemate cooked for us was Spaghetti alla Carbanara.  We all watched with horror as she dumped the cooked pasta into a bowl full of raw eggs, stirred it all together, and then expected us to actually eat it!  But once plated it did not look at all disgusting, and smelled really good, so we stuck our forks into it and gave it a taste.

And oh my gosh was it delicious!  Creamy and smoky and luscious.  I never forgot that dish, but I never made it myself.  Now that I have been making my own pasta I am constantly on the lookout for new and different things to do with it.  I didn't have much in the house in the way of vegetables (don't pretend that's never happened to you) and I needed a quick dinner.  I did have some bacon in the freezer and I always have Parmagiana Reggiano and eggs on hand, so I decided it was time I tried to recreate the dish I had enjoyed so many years ago.

And it was just as good as I remembered it.  Better, in fact, because the bacon was applewood smoked, the pasta was freshly made, the black pepper was freshly grated, and the cheese did not come out of a can.  In a word, perfection.

It might not look all that great in the picture.  I try to make my photos look pretty, but I can't always manage it.  And to be honest, it's not a high priority for me.  I know that we eat with our eyes, but I'm more interested in how my food tastes than how it looks.  If I had had parsley (or any fresh herbs for that matter), I would have garnished and it would have looked that much better.  And I guess it would have tasted better too, so if you plant to make this, especially for company, do be sure to get some while you are shopping for the rest of the ingredients.  But I can assure you I was not at all mourning its absence while I was eating it.

And I just noticed this - if you look closely at the photo you will see little bits of yellow in the mix.  I forgot that I had a little bit of yellow pepper that I diced and cooked up with the bacon.  It's not traditional, but it tasted good and kept me from having to throw away food.

PASTA ALLA CARBONARA

4 servings

4 oz bacon diced
12 oz fresh tagliatelle, linguini, or papardelle
2 eggs
2 Tbsp water
1/4 cup freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano, plus extra for garnish
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Heat a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Combine the eggs and water in a small bowl and beat together with a fork, then set aside.

Meanwhile, cook the bacon over medium high heat in a skillet until crisp. Do not remove the bacon from the fat, but remove all but a tablespoon of the drippings.

When the water starts to boil add a generous amount salt and then the pasta. Cook until al dente. Drain the pasta and then return it to the pot. Immediately add the bacon with its drippings and the egg to the pasta while it is still hot and toss well, until the pasta is completely covered with the egg and cheese.

Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve garnished with more cheese and the parsley.

Pasta with Asparagus and Zucchini

This is a lovely little dish I like to trot out when asparagus and zucchini are in season.  It is especially good with fresh pasta, although dried will do the job if that is all you have available.

This recipe falls under my ongoing attempts to practice the theory that "less is more."  When the ingredients are fresh, there's no need for excess herbage and seasoning.  All you really need to do is find a simple way to highlight the main ingredients.  This recipe does exactly that and is quick and easy.  You can have dinner on the table in about half an hour.

Home Cookin Chapter: My Recipes


PASTA WITH ASPARAGUS AND ZUCCHINI 4 servings

1 lb fresh long pasta
1 batch of asparagus, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 zucchini, cut in half lengthwise and cut into 1/4-inch slices
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/4 medium onion, chopped
1/4 cup sauvignon blanc or other white wine
salt and pepper to taste
freshly grated parmesan cheese
chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Place a large pot of water on the stove over high heat and bring to a boil.  When it is boiling, add salt and the asparagus and zucchini and cook them for 2 to 3 minutes.  Remove them from the water and plunge them immediately into cold water.  Drain and set aside.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Add the onion and saute it for a few minutes, until translucent.  Add salt and pepper to taste.  Add the wine and let it cook down for a minute.

Add the pasta to the boiling water and let it cook for about 2 to 3 minutes if using fresh (about a minute less than the designated cooking time - if using dried pasta adjust cooking time accordingly).

Add the asparagus and zucchini to the onions and cook until heated through.  When the pasta is done, reserve about a cup of the pasta water and drain, then add the pasta to the asparagus and zucchini in the skillet.  Cook for 2 more minutes, mixing everything together and adding pasta water as necessary.

Remove from the heat.  Serve immediately garnished with  parsley and cheese.

Broccoli and Red Onion Pizza Bianca

It's been a while since I've made pizza so I decided to go for it over the weekend.  I used this trusty recipe that has never failed me.  I usually mix it up the day before I plan to make the pizza so I can give it a slow rise over night in the refrigerator to develop the flavor but it was a spur-of-the-moment decision made in the morning.  So I mixed up the dough right away and put it in the refrigerator to do its thing during the day.

My original intention was to make my usual red sauce pizza, but I had bought quite a bit of broccoli a few days earlier that needed to be used and I was in the mood for a more vegetable-focused pie and I'm not a big fan of broccoli and tomato sauce.  There's nothing wrong with it, I suppose, but when I think broccoli I think white sauce.

The only problem with that is that I don't use much regular milk these days so I couldn't make a traditional bechamel sauce.  But I do seem to always have buttermilk on hand, so I wondered if that would work.

And it did work.  The buttermilk gave the sauce a lovely little tang that married well with the broccoli and red onion.  I will definitely do this again.

 I was feeling a bit lazy so I decided to make one big pizza instead of two smaller ones.  I sprinkled some corn flour over my all-purpose half-sheet baking pan and spread the dough evenly over it.  Because the broccoli is on the heavy side, I baked the crust for five minutes before spreading the sauce over it.  I followed the sauce with grated mozzarella cheese, then spread the broccoli and red onion over that.  I seasoned it with salt and pepper, then topped it with grated parmesan cheese and sprinkled it with fresh oregano and thyme.  Then I baked it for another 20 minutes or so.

It was quite good.  It would have been crisper if I had left it in the oven for another few minutes, but I was afraid of burning it.  As it was, I would happily serve it to a crowd.

BROCCOLI AND RED ONION PIZZA BIANCA

1 batch Perfect Pizza Crust*
2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1 cup buttermilk
12 oz fresh broccoli spears, steamed for 5 minutes, or frozen
broccoli spears, thawed
cornmeal (approximately 1 Tbsp)
8 ounces (approximately 2 cups) shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
1 Tbsp fresh oregano (or 1 tsp dried)
1 tbsp fresh thyme (or 1 tsp dried)

*Dough can be made ahead and kept in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

Prepare pizza dough and let rise. While the dough is rising, make the buttermilk bechamel sauce.

In a medium-size saucepan melt the butter over medium high heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for a few minutes to cook out the rawness of the flour but not long enough for it to brown. Add the buttermilk, whisking constantly to keep it from lumping until it has been fully incorporated into the flour and butter paste. As soon as the mixture starts to bubble, lower the heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Move a rack to the bottom slot of the oven and preheat the oven to 450 deg. F. Sprinkle cornmeal around the bottom of a pizza dish. Using your hands, spread the dough around the dish, allowing for a slightly raised edge. Bake the naked crust for five minutes.

Spread the bechamel over the dough, then the shredded Mozzarella cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then layer the broccoli and red onion over the cheese. Sprinkle the grated Parmigiano Regganio and fresh herbs over the top. Place the pizza on the bottom rack and cook 20 to 25 more minutes, until the cheese is bubbling and the crust is golden brown.

Carrot Ginger Soup with Cracked Black Pepper

I recently joined a Chicago Meet-up Group called Spiced-Up that meets once a month for a BYOB restaurant meal and has a monthly pot-luck involving a specific spice.  I joined too late for the April clove potluck (drat the luck), but was in time for a lovely meal at Cookies and Carnitas and the May potluck, the theme of which was peppercorns.

I have mentioned before that pepper was not much in evidence in our house when I was a child.  My mother did not care for it.  All of our salt and pepper shakers were filled with salt, and whenever we came across pepper in a recipe we were making we simply ignored it.  My father was a closet pepper eater, though.  There was always a jar of coarsely ground black pepper in the spice cupboard that he would use whenever he thought he could get away with it, usually when he cooked meat.  So I was at least familiar with the taste even if I was not a particular fan.

Over time I came to appreciate its flavor on certain foods, mainly eggs, but I never noticed it's absence from any dish.  In the past ten years or so, however, I have gotten into the habit of using it more often than not when I cook.

After my first internal groan of dismay when I saw that the theme for my first potluck with this group was peppercorns, I chose to take the high road and see it as an opportunity to find a new way to appreciate it.  I was reminded of a caprese salad I had ordered years ago at Topo Gigio in Old Town.  The tomatoes were summer ripe, the mozzarella was soft and luscious, and the basil was fresh and flavorful.  But of all things it was the pepper that stood out to me.  To this day I don't know what kind it was - I don't think it was Tellicherry but I could be wrong about that.  For sure it tasted like pepper, but it had an extra special sharp - peppery - bite that I had never before encountered.  It was the only time that I can ever remember where I actually noticed the pepper as a separate, essential ingredient, and I decided it was no accident that it had occurred with such a simple dish.

That memory inspired me to look for another simple dish that might benefit from the addition of that peppery kick.  And it didn't take long for me to come up with one.  As soon as I had the thought of adding coarsely ground black pepper to curried ginger carrot soup I knew it would work.

And it did.  On its own the soup is quite good; good enough that it is something I make regularly.  But the addition of the pepper causes the carrots to pop into the foreground while the rest of the spices combine to balance the rest of the flavors.  It was well received at the pot-luck and would make a great starter for a dinner party, but is awfully good for lunch with a grilled cheese sandwich.

If you do not have all of the spices readily available, you can just use a tablespoon of curry powder, or to taste.  Just be careful not to overdo it, or the curry spices will overpower the pepper.  And that would be a real shame.

CURRIED GINGER CARROT SOUP WITH CRACKED BLACK PEPPER

6-8 Servings

2 lb carrots, trimmed peeled and cut into 1/4-inch slices
2 Tbsp grapeseed oil
2 Tbsp chopped garlic
2 Tbsp chopped ginger
2 large shallots, chopped
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ground cumin
1-1/2 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp curry powder
4 cups vegetable or chicken stock
kosher salt to taste
3/4 cup coconut milk
1 Tbsp coarsely ground black pepper, or to taste, plus more for garnish
yogurt

Bring an inch of water to a boil over medium-high heat in a 3-quart saucepan. Add a teaspoon of salt and the carrots and cook for about 10 minutes, until tender. Drain, reserving liquid; set both aside.

Heat the oil over medium heat in a large pot. Add the onion, garlic and ginger and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is translucent. Add the spices and cook until fragrant but not burned, about 1 minute.

Add the carrots and stir until they are coated with the spices. Add enough broth to cover the carrots. Cover, lower the heat and simmer until the vegetables are tender, 10 to 15 minutes.

Using a stick blender or a regular blender, puree the soup. If using a regular blender, return the soup to the pot and place over low heat. Add the rest of the stock. If more liquid is needed, use the reserved liquid from cooking the carrots.

Add the coconut milk and black pepper and season to taste with the salt. Serve hot, garnished with yogurt and more black pepper.
