Bacon & Toasted Sesame Oil Broccoli

Bacon & Sesame Oil Broccoli

These days, there is no other veggie that trumps broccoli in the FoodFash world.  I can’t help but to cruise right past the other usual suspects: asparagus, spinach, kale.

Bacon for Cooking

Even if I’m making my favorite simple dinner or serving along side a protein, new ways to prepare broccoli is a subject that’s always on the brain.

That’s how bacon and toasted sesame oil broccoli came together.  I started one night solely with sesame oil, which was excellent with pan-seared pork.  But I was ultimately looking for something heartier, something good for when that 3pm hunger rolls around.  Adding a bit of bacon {and the associated grease} allowed the broccoli to satisfyingly stand on its own.  This addition, along with the slight smokiness of toasted sesame oil, may even get your broccoli-hatin’ friends to enjoy this veggie as well!

Pineapple Wrapped Halibut & Chipotle Peppers

July 26, 2015 by Kristin

Chipotle & Pineapple Halibut 2

Twice this week and probably eighteen times this year, the same gentleman in the Whole Foods seafood department has helped me with a seafood selection.  I walked away today feeling ridiculous that I don’t know his name.  Next time I’ll be in less of a hurry and will take the time to ask.  Especially since he took the time to inspire this dish.

Chipotle & Pineapple Halibut 3

The pre-made pineapple wrapped fish at Whole Foods has always caught my attention.  But since I have an aversion to pre-prepared things, I insisted on making my own.  When I told Mr. Whole Foods Seafood Man {wouldn’t it be so much easier if I knew his name?} about my plan, he, with excitement, said that if I was going to make my own I should definitely use chipotle peppers because chipotle and pineapple are meant for one another.

Chipotle & Pineapple Halibut

He was right.  I was surprised by how much chipotle and pineapple flavor the fish soaked up while broiling. But I wasn’t surprised at how well sweet pineapple and spicy, smoky chipotle paired.  It was so delicious I ate both pieces.  In one sitting.

Snow Crab & Granny Smith Apple Guacamole

July 22, 2015 by Kristin

Crab & Apple Guacamole Recipe

I love, love, love the guacamole sampler at La Condesa.  It’s a total must-order when I have visitors in town. And every time I order it, I secretly hope the company I’m keeping isn’t a fan of crabmeat so there’s more crab and apple guacamole for me.

Snow Crab Claws

Until recently, it never dawned on me how straightforward this guacamole was.  There’s nothing super complex about the guac itself, no marinades on the meat or fruit, and no secret sauce drizzled on top {to my knowledge}.  Its simplicity is what makes it so delicious.  So why not make it at home?

How to keep apples from getting brown

I couldn’t remember much about specific flavors of the guacamole other than crabmeat and apples, so I whipped something up that was super delicate that really allowed the garnishes to shine.  Typically, I’d put red onions and garlic in a guac, but shallots seemed like the more appropriate choice tonight.  And instead of serving with tortilla chips, I changed it up by using dried plantains.

Will knowing how to recreate this dish reduce my future La Condesa visits?  Absolutely not!  But having a homemade guac recipe with such a fun twist will surely come in handy for future dinner parties.
