Company’s coming. What to have? You want to have something special, but you would also not like to be confined to the kitchen while preparing an elaborate entrée. Twice in the past few months we’ve faced this scenario and twice we have served Tenderloin Tails – a delicious and versatile choice. The first company dinner, two guests were coming and we thought about a prime rib. But … [Read more...]
Lemon Roasted Chicken
Some of the best recipes are simple, not only simple to prepare but simple in ingredients. Lemon Roasted Chicken is such a dish. The prep time is about five minutes and the cooking time is less than an hour, so how simple can it be? And it’s delicious. There are a number of variations to this recipe but the best results come when the bird is cooked quickly in a relatively hot oven. Here’s … [Read more...]
Shaved Beef Steak
I have stumbled across a neat product in the grocery store. It may have been around for a while, but I hadn’t noticed until a couple weeks ago. It is Beef Shaved Steak from a company called Old Neighborhood. The reason it caught my eye is that I just did an article on making Philly Cheese Steaks with SteakUms, a frozen meat product. The Old Neighborhood meat is boxed and shipped frozen, but the … [Read more...]
Bakin’ Bacon
If you could only eat one food the rest of your life, what would it be? Steak? Eggs? Homemade bread? Chocolate pie? For me, I’d have to consider bacon. You can’t go wrong with bacon, but it sure is a pain in the wok to cook. It takes forever to fry, it makes a huge mess with grease splattering everywhere and then, as it is finishing, smugglers smell the alluring aroma and come in and pilfer … [Read more...]
More Asparagus Recipes
Asparagus is good and good for you, but some find it boring. A couple weeks back, I printed an Asparagus/Green Pea recipe that many tried and enjoyed. Yummly, a great on-line recipe source, offers this version. Asparagus With Bacon & Mushrooms 1 tablespoon oil 5 bacon slices (chopped) 4 garlic cloves (peeled and … [Read more...]
Creamy Horseradish Sauce
Often, the right sauce is the perfect compliment to the meat entrée. Such is the case with filet mignon, or beef tenderloin. Since a beef tenderloin is the leanest of the prime steak cuts, and lacks fat, which gives beef its flavor, a good sauce can make this tender cut of beef come alive. Recently we enjoyed cooking a tenderloin for guests and I came up with a simple sauce that was, I believe, … [Read more...]
Steak-umms for Philly Cheese Steaks
When I am at a fair or outdoor expo, one of the things I most enjoy is the food – especially Philly Cheese Steaks. Since they are not encouraged on my current diet, they are a special treat. The tastes blend perfectly – steak, cheese, onions, peppers and fresh bread. I made the mistake of thinking about Philly Cheese Steaks the other day and I was doomed. It’s like thinking about eating Chinese … [Read more...]
Super Good Asparagus
It’s asparagus season, an early spring vegetable. I saw some beautiful asparagus in Kroger’s recently for 99-cents a pound. It is often 2.99 and sometimes even 3.99 a pound, so I bought a bundle. Asparagus is fairly easy to cook, you can even eat it raw, like celery. I often put mine in the oven at 400, sprinkle on a little salt and pepper and olive oil, cook for 10 minutes and eat it that way. … [Read more...]
Now We’re Cooking: Baked Salmon
Salmon has become something of a staple at Chez Brewer. It is healthy, though wild caught salmon is healthier than farm raised, and it is fairly economical, at about $9 a pound. We have it every couple weeks or so, but you can quickly get in a rut with the same-old, same-old recipes. I saw a recipe recently that I followed – sort of – and it was as good as it gets when it comes to salmon. It’s … [Read more...]
Catfish and Remoulade Sauce
For many chefs, two dishes/ingredients are often overlooked - catfish filets and Remoulade sauce. Fresh catfish is a staple in most seafood cases. These farm-raised fish are grown locally, not overseas. They have a nice flavor, they are not overly fishy and they usually go for $6 or $7 a pound. You can get four filets for less than $10. And Remoulade sauce. Remoulade Sauce is a … [Read more...]
