This is pan fried mackerel with a roasted tomato and garlic sauce.

Big mackerel fan over here. Deep and delicious flavor, quite healthy, and very affordable. My local fish guy finally had some on hand today so I had to take advantage.

The mackerel were cleaned and gutted, salted and lightly dredged in flour, then fried whole. Just some fresh squeezes of lemon once they were done. The sauce is a simple blended mix of tomato, garlic, and onion roasted in the oven, with a bit of fresh tarragon from my balcony garden. Overall a great way to finish the week.

These are black lentils with guanciale and a gochujang cream sauce.

I woke up at 1 am this morning and decided to make this dish. It is what it is.

This is a New England txangurro featuring Jonah crab.

Txangurro a la donostiarra is a classic Basque seafood dish from northern Spain, and it’s one of my favorites. I worked to gently modify the traditional recipe into a New England version. I used local fresh Jonah crab since the traditional spider crab isn’t really available here. I also substituted a Vermont hard apple cider for the original brandy/sherry, and a nice Vermont cheddar mixed with sourdough breadcrumbs for the topping.

The dish is traditionally served in the crab shell and I was able to stay true to that as well.

This is a nasturtium leaf salad with smoked mackerel and dill cream.

Kind of an experimental salad idea of sorts here, which I will likely modify in the future. My nasturtium plants and finishing up on my balcony as the temperature cools, so I wanted to use them while I still have them. They provide a nice peppery taste as a green, which goes great with the richness of the mackerel and dill cream, and the tangy flavor of the pickled red onion. A cool little eclectic salad.

This is a shepherd’s pie.

My second year doing this recipe and it came out even better than last time. I always opt for whole pieces of beef and lamb and mince them by hand, instead of buying ground meat. I do like having a bit of texture to the meats to make the pie filling more interesting. My homemade beef stock also made this gravy extra rich and full of umph.

It’s my standard potato puree recipe to top the filling mixture, sprinkled with freshly grated parmigiano and baked in the oven for about half an hour. I’ll definitely be doing this again.

This is shrimp and asparagus in a lemon beurre blanc sauce.

Another late night cooking session, this one at about 3 am. There’s something so tranquil and steady about cooking in the dark, when everything is still and quiet.

This is a chili con carne.

My first true dish of the fall cooking season. The summer warmth lingered for a bit so I delayed making my thick, hearty chili for a bit but here it is.

I do have a certain measured amount of American pride, and being able to concoct a proper chili reflects that for me. A 2:1 ratio of lean beef to fattier pork works so well with the beans and other vegetables. I toast the chili peppers with my blowtorch as always, and add my two favorite chili secret ingredients: fresh brewed espresso, and just a couple squares of high percentage dark chocolate at the end.

Happy fall!

lean ground beef | ground pork | black & red kidney beans | yellow onion | bell pepper | garlic | jalapeño & serrano pepper | tomatoes | tomato puree | beef stock | worcestershire sauce | espresso | dark chocolate | spices

This is a beetroot salad with pickled herring and dill.

A new iteration of a dish I did a year or two ago, though I certainly won’t claim ownership of this classic combination of ingredients. A simple salad of just four ingredients plus some yogurt to dress it, this is best served slightly chilled.

This is pappardelle with squid, garlic, and olive oil.

A simple dinner this Labor Day, which came together in about thirty minutes. I hadn’t had a nice homemade pasta dish in a while, so it was time. The squid was purchased whole and cleaned and gutted right before cooking, making it feel especially fresh. And a quality olive oil goes a long way here.

This is eggplant baba ghanoush with homemade pita.

A bit under the weather for the past few days so I wanted to do something simple and comforting. The eggplants are from my garden, a fairly decent harvest from just one pot grown on a balcony.

Still trying to ease myself into baking, so the homemade pita was an honest attempt that ended up looking a little odd but tasted great.

baba ghanoush: eggplant | tahini | olive oil | lemon juice | garlic | salt | cumin
pita: flour | olive oil | sugar | salt | water

This is a homemade salmon gravlax.

I always wanted to do this. The recipe I used comes from Eric Ripert’s book ‘Seafood Simple’, with minimal modifications. I cured the salmon filets for three days in the fridge with occasional unwrapping and basting in the juices.

Honestly, it came out great.

cure: kosher salt | light brown sugar | dill | pepper
