Sauces/2 recipes

The idea of Korean Tacos trucks and the delicious tacos they produce intrigued me. I developed this as my own version of an Asian flavored taco.

Traditional Dublin-style corned beef and cabbage simmered for 3 hours with potatoes, carrots, and a clove-studded onion. Served on a platter with homemade whipped horseradish cream. A proper Irish Sunday dinner.

Cocoa mocha bundt cake: a dark, deeply chocolatey bundt with a full cup of cocoa, brewed coffee, and buttermilk. Drizzle with caramel or chocolate sauce. From-scratch, no cake mix.

Blue pumpkin!? We got one from our local farm and came up with this recipe to give a try cooking with it. Regular pie pumpkin can be used but if you find yourself with a blue pumpkin here's a good way to use it.

Crispy pan-fried chickpea burgers with oregano and cumin, tucked into warm pita with a creamy lemon-tahini yogurt sauce. Vegetarian, healthy, and done in 25 minutes.

Cheesy juicy stuffed chicken breasts filled with bacon, ricotta and swiss cheese, pan fried until golden and served with a lemony white wine sauce.

These baked fish and chips have much less fat and calories than deep-fried ones, but it still tastes delicious, and this time you don't have to feel guilty about it.

Pad Thai Tip: For even more flavor, I'll often make a double batch of the pad Thai sauce. Then, as I'm stir-frying the noodles, I'll add more sauce until I'm happy with the taste (I also add extra fish sauce). Any leftover sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.

This is an excellent way to prepare beets. Reminiscent of potato pancakes, shredded beets and carrots are mixed with eggs and then cooked in a skillet until crispy on the outside. The earthy sweetness of the beets go perfectly with the creamy yogurt dill sauce, simply delicious!

Sprouted some bean sprouts last week, meanwhile I had some colorful bell peppers needed to be used up, then this was the quick-easy stir-fry I put together.

Give twice baked potatoes an Indian twist with some delicious Indian spices.

This bok choy, mushrooms, and tofu stir-fry deliver sweet, sour, and slightly spicy flavor. It's hard not to taste good when you have garlic, ginger, scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil... all these classic and delicious Asian spices in one dish.
