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…

“Pepper Lime Lager” (flavoured), Dead Frog Brewery

February 20, 2014 by Dale Leave a Comment

Ok, I thought I should try reviewing a few beers outside my normal comfort zone, so I took a little trip back to the Beer Store (when will I learn you ask?) and looked for “different.” How about a few lagers, I thought? Well, if I wanted “different” I sure found it in this box…

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…

Avocado-Chimichurri Sauce

August 10, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

When a giant globe of curly-leafed parsley showed up in my CSA share last week, I visibly frowned. I really don’t like the stuff and much prefer the milder and softer flat-leaf aka “Italian” parsley I grow myself. However, I was up for my own CSA Challenge and so I considered what to make with it….

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…
