I love a good fish taco. You can go out for tacos right here in Fairfield, CT. If you are local, I suggest the Mahi Mahi fish tacos at Bodega. I tried my first fish taco in California about 16 years ago and I was hooked. Pun intended. I loved crispy crunch of a deep-fried…
GourGanics Spicy Vegetarian Spanakopadillas
What a crazy idea we came up with here in Fairfield, Connecticut, USA. Traditional Greek spanakopita meets the traditional quesadilla. The result is a non-traditional creation that spinach lovers, cheese lovers, and tortilla lovers will adore. The two cultures unite and take over in this crazy MEXIGREEK fusion dish that tastes nothing short of AMAZING! Here’s…
GourGanics very-spicy-slightly-misogynistic eggplant tapanade
With apologies to Gloria Steinem and Betty Friedan! I made some homemade tapanade yesterday based on a recipe I found on the Gluten-free goddess Website. And I thought it was missing a little flavor but I loved the consistency and texture. So I tossed in a half of a jar of our local GourGanics USDA…
Lobster with Angel Hair, Lemon and Spicy GourGanics
We are on Cape Cod enjoying an amazing week of good weather, food and family time. We ordered up three (3 lb) select lobsters, steamed and cracked and ate our fill with my Mom, Memere. Nobody can get more meat out of a lobster than Mem. So after we ate, she and I picked the…
GourGanics Cape Cod Spiced Clam Broth Veggie Soup
This is a crazy little recipe I “souped” up. Last night we threw 5 pounds of native Cape Cod steamers into a pot with the end of two lemons and a 1/2 pot of water. The steamers were delicious. And the clean, clear, lemony salty brine was worth saving. Today, I wanted to eat a…
Wild Caught Fish Fillets with Fennel and Spicy GourGanics Salsa
This is a great salty, sweet recipe that I will be making with fresh Cod on the Cape this week. The fennel adds an unexpected licorice taste that really works with the heat of the salsa. It sounds a little crazy but fresh fennel adds a lot to this dish. Here’s what you need: 5…
GourGanics Spicy Poached Salmon
Last night we had the most delicious spicy poached salmon. Here’s the deal, I have a “nose” issue when it comes to cooking fish indoors. This recipe calls for high quality fish that is a little expensive, but it can be prepared in 10 minutes or less, and it doesn’t stink up the house the…
Gluten-free GourGanics Tofu Stroganoff
My mom used to make Beef Stroganoff with mushrooms, chunks of beef and sour cream, and serve it over white egg noodles. It was divine. I don’t eat much beef these days–and when I do it’s really high quality Grass Fed. So I once modified Mom’s recipe into chicken stroganoff using juicy chicken thighs. Believe it or not, tofu stroganoff makes…
News Channel 12 Recipe GourGanics Stewed Chicken
This is the one I prepared for News 12 on the segment running all weekend. Simple and satisfying. Make it in minutes and take advantage to the hours I put into the creation of this simmer sauce. It’s great for a quick meal after a long day of play at the beach. It tastes like…
GourGanics Spicy Shrimp Dip
This a fun, spicy, salty and crunchy take on a traditional shrimp cocktail. It can be either elegant or rustic, depending upon how you serve it– fancy china or pretty glass bowls? You can also choose dainty little crackers or monster-sized tortilla chips as the vehicle that drives all this spicy shrimp and salsa goodness…
