Salad with Pickled Beets and Feta Cheese; French vaccinationsTired of the same old salad?Skip the tomatoes (they’re not in season yet, anyway) and add beets!A restaurant that we went to often in Minneapolis was famous for its house salad. It had pickled beets in it.I’ve always love pickled beets.I can’t buy them… |

Grilled Salmon with Mediterranean Salsa, the chauffeurI got the idea for this from Chef Dennis.The recipe is changed, of course…. to what I had in the pantry since I already had the salmon.

Mine isn’t big enough to cut yet but I have lots of oregano.But that’s what recipes are, right?A jumping off point for what we have in… |

Giant Burger Stuffed with Green Garlic, the updateThink of it as spring meat loaf.You can even do it in the oven if you like…. But we prefer it on the grill.I cook the green garlic first so we can cook the hamburger to medium, rather than well-done.Yes, we still eat our hamburgers medium…. And our steaks rare.I topped the green garlic with lots of fresh, spring herbs and a bit of… |

White Asparagus Salad with Avocado, Cherry TomatoThe recipes calls for whole asparagus, sliced.I, of course, didn’t do it that way.I sliced off a few inches of the asparagus I used for this recipe, to get them all nice and even…. Plus I used two more whole spears.Like the people attending the Asparagus Festivals in Germany, we are happy to have asparagus for more than one course… |

Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Stir-Fried Spring Vegetables; the updateI love colorful food.I love fast food.No, not that kind (well, okay, occasionally….)I mean the kind that cooks quickly.Stir-frying is fast, easy and the perfect way to fix fresh, tender spring vegetables. They cook in minutes and retain all their… |

Spring Risotto with White Asparagus, Snow PeasOne of the things I find interesting, funny and fun living here are the differences in words between English and American and French.There are a lot of words in common, but pronounced differently and there are words that look and sound the same but mean something totally different.What we (Americans) call snow peas the Brit’s call… |

Asparagus and Green Garlic PastriesWhole asparagus spears nestled on a bed of Tarragon Cream; a savory version of the sweet pastries in the windows of fancy Paris shops.Yes, I’m remembering Paris in the Spring.When we lived in Andorra we used to take the train to Paris for a long weekend in the spring. Now that we live only half as far we don’t do it, of course.So I… |

Stir-Fried Asparagus and Green Garlic; the updateThis is a quick stir-fry; the asparagus should be crisp-tender, lightly browned and slightly blistered.I ‘roll cut’ the asparagus. It’s easy to do and gives you interesting looking pieces with lots of surface for picking up flavors. Use it on any round vegetable – carrots, asparagus, green beans, small summer squash…..To roll cut –… |
