This is why we never get tired of making pizza: dough, tomato sauce and melted cheese. This is what eating should be about. Basic components that sing.
Plus, you can change it up every time. I did some simple math and believe that there are over twenty six combinations of toppings possible!
And, the most important ingredient. Time. Thought I was going to say dough? Well, you were half right. Letting the fermentation magic happen to it’s full extent pays off huge.
This would have to be my favorite way to cut myself in the kitchen: the Mandolin. This one was given to me years ago and has held up like a champ. There are less expensive plastic models, but why bother with those when you can get this beautiful tank? They say to always use the hand-guard, but I think that is more of a guideline than a rule.
Caramelized onions, chili powder, garlic powder and cheddar cheese on a whole wheat tortilla. Cafe Josie chipotle aioli and Organic Valley sour cream.
After I was married, my wife informed me that she is Irish. I know! That would have been a fantastic bit of information to have had a little sooner! So, today is her people’s holiday and I decided to make her something from the old country. Honey Thyme roasted chicken with artichoke and spinach bread pudding. Happy St. Patrick’s day.
Are you looking at this? Is there someone around that you would like to alert? I know you can make a sandwich, please, there are a lot of sandwiches out there. But, where can you find that simple, soothing softness, that subtle, creamy…. OK, it’ s a chicken sandwich. But, it’s a damn good one. All the elements are there: fresh bread, crispy lettuce, slow roasted chicken, Chipotle Aioli. Come on, Barnum and Bailey didn’t put on a show like this.
I like the fish guys at Central Market. Not that the meat guys are bad, they are great. But, the fish guys seem to appreciate it more that you are buying their fish. I picked up some Big Eye for this wasabi pea crusted tuna on snow peas and sunflower sprouts with a spicy Asian sauce.
