Green Beans with Pistachio Gremolata

If you’ve never tried Gremolata before you really should.  Gremolata is a garnish that combines chopped parsley, garlic, and lemon zest. Many times pine nuts are added to pump up the flavor but I decided to use pistachios instead. Sprinkled on top of fresh green beans it’s really, really good. This is a great side dish to serve with meat or fish. I served this alongside my recent Salmon & Cherry Tomato dish. Let me know if you like it too… Continue reading

Pork Tenderloin With A Sage & Onion Cream Sauce

Pork Tenderloin With A Sage & Onion Cream Sauce

Making a delicious quick and elegant meal doesn’t have to take all day. Pork tenderloin is the perfect meat to serve when you are lean on time but want to impress. Served with some herbs in a simple white sauce and you have another winner…

Pork Tenderloin With A Sage & Onion Cream Sauce
1 pork tenderloin
1 Tbs olive oil
2 Tbs butter
2 large onions sliced
2 Tbs flour
1 bunch fresh sage (about 1/4 cup)
1 bunch fresh parsley (about 1/4 cup)
1/2 cup white wine
1 cup whole milk or cream
salt & pepper

Cut the onions in half and slice into half rounds. In a saute pan melt butter and sweat onions until tender. Add the wine, salt & pepper and cook for additional 2 to 3 minutes. Next add flour and cook additional 2 to 3 minutes.

Add the milk, sage and parsley. Cook until the sauce starts to thicken. In a cast iron skillet, heat olive oil and season pork with salt & pepper. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side (pork tenderloin has 3 sides and is best served medium).

Top with onion and sage sauce and eat. I serve this with rice on the side. Simple, elegant yet delicious!

Enjoy!

Fresh Corn, Orzo & Roasted Red Peppers Salad With A Bacon Vinaigrette

Fresh Corn, Orzo & Roasted Red Peppers Salad With A Bacon Vinaigrette

We won’t have corn where I live for much longer and I just love summer corn. This salad is perfect for picnics and a great accompaniment to any summer meal. Because it does not have a mayonnaise base it can sit out for a little while and it is even better at room temperature. I hope you get the chance to enjoy this summer delight… Continue reading

Asian Turkey Burger and Red Onion-Iceberg Slaw

Asian Turkey Burger and Red Onion-Iceberg Slaw

Ground turkey is like a chameleon to me… I call it the carnivores ‘tofu’. What is nice about this healthy meat is the way you can make it taste like anything you want. Today I was in the mood for something Asian and I had turkey burgers on the menu… so with a quick scan of my on hand Asian ingredients I kept with the menu and filled my craving too. My hubby was pleasantly surprised with this moist and flavorful spin on this turkey burger… Continue reading

Shrimp Tacos

rub
Who doesn’t love tacos. I like to eat them with pork, beef, chicken and seafood. But today I decided to go with shrimp. Shrimp is a good ingredient on active days because it cooks quickly with little effort… and today was just one of those days. I added a little kick by taking my inspiration from south of the border. To make my life easy on days like this, I always make up different rubs to be used as needed. When I make a rub, I make extra and store it in a mason jar for later use. So today I’ll be passing on one of my favorite spicy rubs. It can be used on whatever meat you choose. Nothing to it… Continue reading
