mods shut it down if this is a clone…
So… over the last 12+ months, I figure, if like myself, many of us have been spending more time preparing and enjoying food. Part sanity retaining coping mechanism, part lifestyle adaption.
Let this be a spot for sharing delicious discoveries, upgrades on popular staples, and exploring the beauty of food as we do the beauty of music…
YT clips, blog/site links, cookbooks, whatevers, throw it all in the gumbo pot!
i’ll kick it off with a riff on an NYC caesar dressing I learnt off a chef friend. So good in a fish burger, smoked fish potato salad, and anything else you wanna taste like caesar salad.
Works in a BLT, or on a NY strip steak.
Makes about 3/4 of the coffee mug.
adjust ingredients to taste
Read the entire recipe before starting haha
1 Tbsp Anchovies + some of the oil
1 Shallot
1 Tbsp small green capers + some of the juice
1 Tbsp/ matchbox-sized CHUNK of ungrated Parmigiano
1 small little fingernail-sized chunk of garlic (or less)
Blend to a paste with Immersion/stick blender in a large coffee mug.
Continue Blending while: Slowly pouring in 1/2 cup (or however will fill the mug) neutral oil (rapps or sunflower is ok)
stream of oil about the diameter of a regular pencil
Should be consistency of a thick mayo.
season with salt pepper, lemon juice or whatever you want.
