Fish Tacos: Grilled Halibut, Kohlrabi in Coriander Cream, and Grilled-Pineapple Salsa

August 31, 2014 by Dale Leave a Comment

I think anyone who has had a great fish taco, and the decadent Baja fish taco in particular, has fallen in love with the complex interchange of simple flavours, crunchy textures, the dialogue of sweet and tangy, and the pure comfort of food that pleases the soul. Recreating it home without pulling out the deep-fryer, though, is a…

Salsa Verde

July 14, 2014 by Dale 3 Comments

Ah, the tomatillo– no, that’s an armadillo crossed with a tomato. And, no, it’s not synonymous “green tomato.” The tomatillo is unique little creature I discovered and was able to purvey without much difficulty when I lived in Calgary … which isn’t a surprise on account of the city’s fondness for Tex-Mex cuisine. However, it…

Ground Beef Tacos

February 21, 2014 by Dale 2 Comments

I’ll be the first to say that not every night can be crispy duck breast, roast beef, or even vegetarian lasagna. Few of us have personal chefs and most of us have jobs and family commitments that compete for time, so even if you love eating, you’re going to once in a while be tempted…

Persimmon Salsa

February 19, 2014 by Dale 2 Comments

If Roald Dahl had been in my kitchen this past winter while writing his children’s classics, he may well have titled the one about “James” as Dale and the Giant Persimmon. Though I haven’t had any particularly giant fruits in my kitchen, persimmons have certainly been giant my culinary craft this season as I continue…

Vegetarian Tacos with Grilled Zucchini

August 12, 2013 by Dale 8 Comments

When four more beautiful, firm yellow zucchini showed up in last week’s CSA share, the challenge was on. What else could I do with  them that would not only be delicious but would push my envelop. Inspired by the success of my Grilled Salsa a few weeks ago, I thought, hmm: tacos. I knew from…

Black Bean and Corn Salsa

August 11, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

With the promise of vegetarian tacos firmly within my grasp, I knew that the dish was going to need some protein to give it some nourishing “staying power.” What better than black beans? They are my favourite in the legume family — I love their crunch, flavour, and their size. Instead of the doing a…

Papaya-Mango Lime Salsa

June 17, 2013 by Dale 2 Comments

Here’s an amazing fruit salsa that will be sure to put the kick back in your favourite Mexican fare. The papaya and mango work well together but what really brings this dish together is the lime … and the lime skin in particular. I’ve tried just the zest but there is something much more powerful…

Guacamole Cruda

June 17, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

Ah, guacamole. There aren’t many that sit on the fence when it comes to avocados … or this simple Mexican sidekick. For those that love it but have never made it, here’s a simple recipe to get you started. The only thing that really separates my versions is that I omit tomato from mine and…

Grilled Flank Steak Tacos

June 16, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

A fusion of Asian and Mexican flavours, these tacos should be illegal. What makes these work so well is the tight and perfect fit between the sweet and crunchy exterior of the meat which is married with the sweet tang of the papaya-mango lime salsa and the creaminess of the guacamole, both of which infuse…
