This is my version of a recipe that originally appeared in Mary Land’s Louisiana Cookery (1954). I have spiced it up a bit. Okay, more than a bit, and added a few other spices.
Greek-Style Braised Lamb Shanks
Lamb shanks are comfort food… succulent lamb with rich, vegetable-laden, savory gravy. Shanks are much less expensive than chops or roasts, so they are a good value.
Oysters, Hot Sauce, and Murder: RIP, Bacteria
When it comes to slaying bacteria in oysters, hot sauce is serial killer in a bottle. At least, that’s what some scientific studies suggest.
Caribbean ‘Crayfish’ with Tasty’s Wet Rub
I was served what the Anguillans call crayfish, but they’re considerably larger than the Louisiana kind yet smaller than a spiny lobster. Don’t ask me their scientific name.
Spicy Roasted Nuts
Chopped finely, these nuts can be mixed with stuffing for roasted poultry as well. The nuts will keep for 2 to 3 weeks, refrigerated.
Thai Ginger Pork Steaks
Pork is a preferred meat in China and Southeast Asia, so it is not surprising to find it combined with chiles and traditional Asian seasonings.
Byron Bay Chilli Co | Chilli and Lime Skewered Prawns
One great thing about Byron Bay Chilli Co is that their recipes always make me think of the beach. That’s really valuable when you’re cooped up during late-winter cold.
