EASY & HEALTHY LARB SALAD

WITH NO COMMENTS

My version of Laotian Larb salad has been modified for access to readily available ingredients in the U.S. It is an intensely flavorful salad that uses Thai sweet, sour, salty, spicy and bitter flavors to create a delicious salad that stands alone as a complete meal. Serve as a tossed salad, as lettuce wraps or pack in mason jars for lunch.

MINTED SOUS VIDE CARROTS WITH BALSAMIC VINEGAR AND GOAT CHEESE

WITH 2 COMMENTS

The best sous vide vegetables are root vegetables. These sous vide carrots are fresh, rich and delicious. They are cooked at a relatively high sous vide temperature of 183 degrees F and then briefly sauteed in a pan to create a glaze. The prep is simple and you can ignore them for an hour while they hang out in the sous vide bath. Sous vide carrots cook in their own juices giving them a dense carrot flavor and great texture.

PASSION FRUIT TEQUILA MOJITO

WITH ONE COMMENT

There may be no better purpose for a passion fruit than a cocktail. This passion fruit mojito is fragrant and delicious and is best served on a remote island, with waterfalls, flamingos preening on the shore, dolphins frolicking in the shoreline and handsome island people playing ukuleles on the beach. If that is not possible, the drink stands on its own as a little mini-vacay.
