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.

XOXO PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED SCALLOPS

WITH ONE COMMENT
Pan seared scallops are quick and easy to make. We take them up a notch by wrapping them in prosciutto and serving them on a bed of corn and roasted pepper risotto. We place red pepper X's between each round mollusk so the serving plate reads " O X O X O," or Hug, Kiss, Hug, Kiss, Hug. What could be more appropriate on Valentine's Day?

KALE SOUP WITH CHORIZO, POTATOES AND WHITE BEANS

WITH 2 COMMENTS
For this kale soup I use lacinato or dinosaur kale, fresh Mexican chorizo, red mini potatoes and cannellini white beans. It has similar ingredients to Portuguese kale soup or Caldo Verde, but instead of using chourico sausage, I use Mexican-style chorizo, which is crumblier and spicier.
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.
