Pork Tenderloin Adobada

Pork Tenderloin Adobada by John Spottiswood

If you like carnitas and fajitas, but are in the mood for something a little different, give his recipe a try. I think you'll be impressed with the rich and pungent flavor.

Creamy Lentil and Broccoli Soup

Creamy Lentil and Broccoli Soup by John Spottiswood

This is a creamy, flavorful, and incredibly healthy soup. The next time you're in the mood for split pea soup (also very healthy), try this instead. It has a wonderful body and a great hearty flavor. If you haven't had sumac before as a seasoning, this is a great dish to try it with. Sumac is commonly used in the middle east to…

Ribeye Steaks Bordelaise

Ribeye Steaks Bordelaise by John Spottiswood

When you're in the mood for grilled steak, but want to dress it up a little and serve it with a wonderful bottle of Cabernet or Bordeaux, this is a great French standby. We like to serve this over mashed potatoes with some sort of dark leafy green. In this case we served it with Kale sauteed with bacon and cashews. It was awesome!

Sauteed Kale with Bacon and Cashews

Sauteed Kale with Bacon and Cashews by John Spottiswood

This is a delicious recipe for sauteed Kale. If you are vegetarian, you can leave out the bacon and you will still have a delicious side dish. This also makes a beautiful presentation to accompany any main dish. The green of the kale contrasts beautifully with the golden color of the toasted cashews.

Quinoa with Fresh Corn and Mint

Quinoa with Fresh Corn and Mint by John Spottiswood

This is a great quinoa dish to serve alongside fish or chicken. I have grown to love quinoa, and it is perfect for this dish. But this would also be great with Israeli cous cous, regular cous cous, pearl barley or even jasmine rice if you are not a fan of quinoa. The mix of flavors is amazing! Try this when fresh corn is cheap and…

Lemon Paprika Tilapia

Lemon Paprika Tilapia by John Spottiswood

This is a delicious version of Tilapia that we adapted from a Bon Appetit recipe. We served it with the quinoa recipe linked below. It was a great combination. I put only a small amount of the sauce over the fish as the salt/pepper/paprika tilapia sauteed with a little butter is delicious all by itself!

Potatoes With Parsley and Garlic - Pommes Parsillade

Potatoes With Parsley and Garlic - Pommes Parsillade by John Spottiswood

These are the fantastic potatoes you've probably had in a french bistro...the ones that weren't pommes frites (french fries). They are best served immediately when the crisp exterior contrasts so nicely with the warm, soft interior. We served these with a lentils and sausage recipe that I will post shortly. The combination was…

Sausages on a bed of Lentils

Sausages on a bed of Lentils by John Spottiswood

These spicy sausages are really phenomenal on top of these flavorful lentils. The original recipe recommends cooking and serving the sausage inside of savoy cabbage leaves. We forgot to bring the savoy cabbage, so we cooked the sausage directly on a skillet and served bare on top of the lentils. It was still remarkably delicious,…

I've been looking for recipes from Indian-American moms who love the rich flavors of Indian food but who need to get meals on the table quickly. So I'm really enjoying the book Saffron to Sassafras written by the Indian Women's Association of Louisiana.in Baton Rouge. There is nothing original about this simple recipe except the…
