INGREDIENTS

4 tablespoons low-sodium tamari (aged soy sauce)
3 green onions, sliced
2 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 bone-in ribeye steaks (1-1/2” thick)

METHOD

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the soy sauce, onions, brown sugar, garlic, ginger and pepper, mixing with hands to combine. Add the steaks. Seal bag and turn several times to coat; refrigerate for a 1-hour minimum (or preferably overnight, if possible).

Drain and discard marinade, pat steaks to somewhat dry. Grill steaks, uncovered, over direct heat for 1 minute per side, and then move to indirect heat for 8-10 minutes or until the steaks reach desired doneness (medium-rare is 145 degrees; medium is 160 degrees; and well-done is 170 degrees), timing will vary, depending upon thickness of steaks. Remove steaks to serving platter, and cover with foil to let stand for juices to redistribute for 5 minutes before serving. ~ Enjoy!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Tip: You can broil the steaks versus grilling them for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the desired doneness is achieved.

Cheese Straws – These Don’t Suck

I took a few things for granted in this cheese straws video. I assumed you could tell how delicious they were as I crunched into them, which is why I never said as much. I also assumed you’d figure out how, where, and when to use them; as I failed to give my usual serving suggestions. I was so taken by the sound and texture of these cheesy sticks, that it just never occurred to me to state such obvious facts.

So, for the record, let’s make this official. These really tasted great, and that’s without any embellishments whatsoever. There are so many things that will work with this technique, including, but not limited to garlic butter, fresh herbs, crushed nuts, and/or literally any dried spice. As far as approved uses, it’d be easier to list things this wouldn’t work with.

Any soup, stew, or bowl of chili would look substantially better with some of these alongside. A few cheese straws will make that sleepy bowl of leftover pasta suddenly seems special again, and substituting them for toast at breakfast is a proven crowd-pleaser. Dipping toasted bread into a runny egg yolk is nice, but dipping with a warm, crispy cheese straw? That goes way beyond nice.

As long as you use some nice, grate-able pungent cheeses, and cook them long enough to get crisp, there’s no way these won’t be great. I hope you give them a try soon, and report back with all your brilliant adaptations. Enjoy!


Ingredients:
frozen puff pastry
about 2 tsp olive oil , or as needed
about 1/2 cup total finely grated aged cheddar and Parmigiano-Reggiano, or more as needed
salt, pepper, and cayenne to taste

KALE AND WHITE BEAN SOUP

Monday, April 28, 2014




KALE AND WHITE BEAN SOUP

I have never used kale before but after hearing a lot about these vibrant greens, I decided to try these. I had no idea how will they taste, so instead of using them with dhals, I decided to make a soup with them. I love the flavor and butteriness of the white beans in this soup and I topped it with alfalfa sprouts. They add a great taste to the soup. Any other beans or vegetables can also be added here. If needed chicken broth or vegetable broth can also be added instead of water for good flavor. This hearty soup makes a complete meal just by itself.

INGREDIENTS:
Kale, 1 big bunch.
White beans, 1 cup, soaked overnight.
Red onion, medium-sized, 1.
Tomato, 1.
Garlic, 2 cloves.
Chili powder, 1 teaspoon.
Cumin powder, ½ teaspoon (optional).
Salt, as per taste.
Alfalfa sprouts, handful.

PREPARATION:
Drain the white beans, wash them, and cook them on stove top until tender. Retain the beans with the cooking liquid. Take half of the cooked beans and purée it to a fine paste with the use of a blender. Wash the kale and chop it into small pieces and keep aside. Chop the onion and tomato into small pieces. Crush the garlic coarsely. Heat a pan and add 2 teaspoons of oil to the pan. Add the chopped onions, tomato and crushed garlic and sauté everything together for a few minutes until everything is well blended. Add a teaspoon of chili powder, ½ teaspoon of cumin powder, salt as per taste and fry everything together until the raw smell of the spices go. Then add the cooked beans along with its cooking liquid and the puréed white bean mixture with 3 cups of water. If chicken broth or vegetable broth is used, add 2 cups of broth along with 1 cup of water. Then add the chopped kale and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes. Then add the alfalfa sprouts and let it cook for another minute and serve the soup hot along with any toasts or crackers.
