Wax Beans and Celery with Anchovy Vinaigrette
Anchovies really perk up plain wax beans, while celery adds a crisp, clean element to the dish.
Active time: 20 min Start to finish: 25 min
Tricolor Pickled Peppers
I like to serve these colorful peppers, drizzled with extra-virgin olive oil, as part of an antipasto platter.
Active time: 2 hr Start to finish: 3 hr (plus 1 week for flavors to develop)
Pepper Vinegar
Pepper vinegar—the aromatic, piquant liquid from chiles that have been pickled for at least 3 weeks—is a household staple in many parts of the South. It is used in the kitchen and on the table to liven up stews and vegetable dishes. Store-bought pepper vinegar is available in southern supermarkets and West Indian markets.
Moroccan Spicy Carrots
Because a food processor grates the carrots too fine, I recommend that you grate them by hand for this recipe. Be sure to use the side of a grater with teardrop-shaped holes instead of the kind that look like the metal has been punched out from the back. The punched-out kind will turn the carrots to mush.
Pickled Napa Cabbage
There is no dessert course in a traditional Japanese meal. Instead, pickles that refresh the palate are often the last thing eaten.
Kumquat Compote with Sauternes and Ginger
A simple dessert sauce that is absolutely delicious spooned over scoops of vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt.
Grilled Mango
This recipe was created to accompany Grilled Citrus Salmon . Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less but requires additional unattended time.
