Roasted Red Pepper Romesco Sauce
Serve these spicy-sweet (and quick to make) pickles as a refreshing summer side dish, or use them as a condiment in sandwiches and tacos.
The heat of the jalapeno and bite of the red onion play nicely off the subtle sweetness of the peach in this summery salsa.
I first developed this recipe out of desperation with an abundance of end-of-the-season Asian basil (it freezes wonderfully). Now it's one of our summer staples ... especially now that Noemi loves being in on the action.
I first encountered this sauce at a remote resort in the Copper Canyon. It's simple, but deceptively flavorful. Use it as a rustic salsa or as a sauce spooned over grilled chicken.
A super-simple dipping sauce great with everything from grilled artichokes to quinoa cakes.
This is a great gravy to use when you're grilling a bird and don't have a pan to collect the juices. A quick turkey stock made from the neck and giblets (removed before the turkey roasts) is enhanced by a nutty roux and brightened by a splash of apple cider. As Nickie says, "it's the perfect autumnal gravy."
Grandma Friese was famous in our family for writing out recipes that began with things like “Take a bottle of cream…” without any indication, for those of us who grew up in the post-milkman era, what the size of a “bottle” might be. And that’s the way this recipe was originally handed down to me. She used to make these cranberries way ahead of time and let them ferment; they have quite a kick.
Summer vegetable confits, like this one from sweet peppers and garlic, are exceptionally versatile in the kitchen; the ultimate summer convenience food.
