Yesterday came out with a really nice dish worth of recording: scallop and smoked whitefish pilav:
On my favorite F&W site i stumbled on the smoked fish jambalaya but while the fish part fo the dish sounded nice i didn’t care much for the flavoring. Instead i decided to make a celery battuto for a base. [...]

IMHO fregola is the tastiest version of couscous. For the dinner tonight the point of departure was couple recipes in Bugialli’s “Foods of Sicily and Sardinia” book.
Took me less than half an hour to come up with a great dish!
Serves 4.
1lb of shrimp, peeled.
1-1.5 cups of fregola cooked al dente.
tiny dice (i pulsed the stuff [...]

I liked greens in Kennedy’s arroz verde so much so that i decided to use this to flavor grits. In fact, it sounded like the right thing to do. And even more than that – the sauce seemed a natural as a shrimp marinade. Don’t need to explain where shrimp came from – you know, [...]

Man was i missing all these miso possibilities…
Well now it’s time to catch up!
Tonight is a quick miso dinner of mussels, with the rest of ingredients right from the japanese pantry: sake, ginger, scallions, garlic and watercress. Ok, there were olive oil and butter involved too. Oh and some grilled triple olive ciabatta. A modern [...]

Still cold and just plain nasty outside. Craving some hearty soup. I think a spicy mussels and tomatoes. But there are plenty of cooked chickpeas in the fridge, and a bunch of beet stems and leaves. Let’s do some borscht, well sort of…
The shopping list – bag of mussels, can of plum tomatoes, poblano and [...]

Fish department at Wegmans does really a great job. Their fresh mussels and squid (not the frozen one – avoid this) are excellent. I used it for some crazy fusion of two recipes – turkish for pilaf and sardinian for fregola paella. Strangely (or maybe not) both recipes have a lot in common so it [...]

Not sure that this is a the right way to make shrimp and grits but it came out very nice. I cooked Anson Mills grits, added some butter and grated Grana cheese. Then topped with shrimp, scallops and sliced codfish marinated with grape tomatoes, lemon zest, thyme and olive oil, and baked in a very [...]

This soup from Marcella Hazan sounded very nice and simple – a lot of olive oil, garlic, parsley and white wine. I love squid from Wegmans, and they had good baby artichokes.
Marcella suggested to cut tubes into thin rings – 1/4″ which sounded not a typical 1/2″ treatment but i trusted her and was curious. [...]
