Soppresata Tomato Panino
We’ve had a couple of warm days here in Texas and the lettuce crop is beginning to suffer a bit. Having said that, it’s 60 degrees today and perfect weather for my heirloom varieties so I’m at the mercy of Mother Nature. I decided to use some of the beautiful, organic leaves from my garden and make a panini. A panini, not to be confused with Paganini the violinist, is a pressed sandwich. Panini is actually the plural of these tiny sandwiches translated as “small bread rolls” or the singular, panino. Mario Batali would get Iron Chef design points by calling them a panino imbottito or a stuffed little bread roll. Panino imbottito sounds like it would be worth at least a couple more points. ...continue reading about Soppresata Tomato Panino...
Spaghetti Squash “Pasta” Dish
I wanted to create another Italian dish that was super-quick to make yet one that used a lot of fresh ingredients and was healthier than one with enriched white pasta. I decided to do a makeover of a pasta dish my mom made and substitute spaghetti squash for the pasta. This recipe is one the kids almost might eat and is worthy of letting them give it a try. ...continue reading about Spaghetti Squash "Pasta" Dish...
Salt and Pepper Shrimp
I had a craving for a “Salt and Pepper” something dish and the fish market had some beautiful wild Gulf shrimp. Can you see what’s coming here? I also wanted to spare you yet another tofu dish and give you something the entire family would fight over. Not a Extreme Fighting cage fight mind you, but a possibly stabbed-in-the-hand-if-you-touch-that-last-shrimp sort of fight. ...continue reading about Salt and Pepper Shrimp...
Tofu Parmigiana
This dish could possibly make you an Italian! If you have a meat eater (or you are a stinkin’ tofu holdout) that still thinks tofu can’t be prepared in a truly exceptional way then I challenge you to make this dish. This will slap some Sicilian in your family tree totally silly. ...continue reading about Tofu Parmigiana...
Mock Chicken Tortilla Soup with Tofu
This mock chicken tortilla soup with tofu is mock because it doesn’t contain chicken meat and doesn’t contain any tortilla chips. That’s kind of a stretch for a tortilla soup, I know. This is a very hearty dish with the potato and to make a more authentic soup, the potato can be omitted. Living in Texas, we have a strong Mexican influence and many restaurants that serve “the best” tortilla soup. ...continue reading about Mock Chicken Tortilla Soup with Tofu...
