We were looking for a way to use some beef short ribs we came across this summer. This is
a fragrant filling stew that has become a family favorite! Since the first round we have
made this dish with ox tail and stew meat and they are all equally delicious.
We spent the winter working on this recipe and I couldn't get it right until this spring!I'm so excited so share it with you! The lunar new year always brings a few tangerines into our lives and we eat very little fruit so they sit around for a long time. This year I decided to use them in our cooking to dilute the sugar rush a little bit. This is a simple dish that just needs the right amount of cooking time to make it fall apart delicious, with a citrusy tang.
Read MoreThis summer treat makes my heart sing. Its a clear sign the garden is going well because enough squash is blossoming at a time that I can do a round of fritters. Many recipes call for sparkling wine in the batter, but I found a recipe that uses mineral water and it tastes divine! I picked about 15 squash blossoms last week and looks like I will be making this again over the weekend. Feeling blessed by the squash deity!
Read MoreAs I child I saw braised tongue at my friends houses and thought it was a horrible thing: mushy and tasteless. Recently my dear friend, Ajna moved to Hawaii and when she cleared her freezer she gave us a pile of wonderful frozen meats, including a cow tongue. We weren't sure what to think, so I started my research. Following the recipe below we prepared the tongue with trepidation. We took our first bite and knew we were hooked! Tongue is one of the most delicious meats EVER!! This year we have had lamb tongues from Sudan Farms almost every week we have been able to grill. If you feel hesitant, you have to go for it. You'll be glad you did.
