Sesame-Crusted Tuna on Arugula Salad

July 29, 2010

Much as I love to serve fish for dinner, I return to my weeks-old whining about the heat. How are we expected to endure an hour of 400-degree air in the kitchen, followed by several hours of still-not-cool temperatures, just to get a piece of protein on the table?

Tilapia en papillote, purple potatoes, chile verde sauce

October 8, 2007

Ok, lots of words in the title, I know, but it’s not really all that complicated to make. I was in a creative mood last night, and I’d just read a post from Elise at Simply Recipes describing a recipe for Chile Verde. Pig is pretty high on the treif list, but I love tomatillos, [...]
