As You Cook It. Explorations into the culinary scene.with sass. Tuesday, May 29, 2007. Saffron Pasta with Tomato Sauce. Tomato sauce and saffron are a staple of Spanish cuisine, but I'd always combined the two into one sauce. Having saffron pasta with tomato sauce: ingenious. Thank you, Epicurious. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 3 ounces pancetta or bacon, finely chopped. 1 medium onion, finely chopped. 1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley. 1 pound ground pork. 1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes with added puree.

As You Cook It: Swiss Fried Potatoes
http://asyoucookit.blogspot.com/2009/01/swiss-fried-potatoes.html
As You Cook It. Explorations into the culinary scene.with sass. Wednesday, January 21, 2009. Who knew the Swiss were awesome with potatoes? The rosti is basically an enormous hashbrown, cut into wedges like a pizza. The recipe below suggests applesauce and rosemary for garnishes, and I heartily endorse this plan. This was one of my hands-down, favorite recipes I've made in awhile. Also, I used normal applesauce and rosemary. *Shrug*. 6 large russet potatoes (4 pounds). 2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt.

As You Cook It. Explorations into the culinary scene.with sass. Thursday, April 26, 2007. Balsamic Pasta and Asparagus. Today's entry comes from, once again, Food and Wine. And the realization that we have two bottles of balsamic vinegar kicking around, and isn't it time that issue was addressed? Note: I still haven't found my camera, but here's a picture from the F&W website. I promise that in normal kitchens, it really does look that good. So yes, ultimately a huge success ( Food and Wine. Rocks my soc...

As You Cook It. Explorations into the culinary scene.with sass. Monday, January 19, 2009. Cold Weather Calls for Soup. We made two major changes to the recipe:. 1- The store didn't have any porcini mushrooms, dried or fresh. At all. So we went with dried oyster mushrooms. Still delicious; no complaints. 2 ounces dried porcini mushrooms (2 cups). 2 cups warm milk. 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving. 1 medium onion, finely chopped. 1 celery rib, finely chopped. In a bowl, cover the...

In my rush to make lunch this morning, I came up with a fun new balsamic vinegrette/marinade to share with the world:. 1/4 cup olive oil. 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar. 2 tsp orange peel. 2 tsp fresh thyme. It's sweet, yet not overly so. I'm a big fan. Links to this post. Monday, June 4, 2007. Spinach and Artichoke Dip. Cut into fourths, the easy, easy hummus. One of the most standard dips served today? 8 oz sour cream.
