Making the stock for this dish was way more fun than I had expected (relaxing, too). I just tossed some of my favorite vegetables and herbs together in a pot and stepped away, letting the boiling water extract all the wonderful flavors as I prepared the other ingredients. It was a nice change of pace from flying around the kitchen trying to cook 10 things at once!
Being a big fan of Ben & Jerry’s Pistachio Pistachio ice cream, I recently thought: ‘Why not try this little, green nut on some seafood?’ Turned out to be a good idea and one I recommend you try next time you have pistachios in the pantry.
Was lucky to get a picture of this one. Gracie tried to snatch the trout from the counter when I left the room but fortunately only came away with its tail. Hope she enjoyed the fish as much as I did. Mulliard!
I hadn’t heard of a sushi burrito until a few months ago. It’s like a maki roll on steroids. You can pack them with fish, shrimp, vegetables, whatever you can fit inside. Just not too much or you might not be able to close it.
We were introduced to these bite-sized hors d’oeuvres at our friends’ wedding. After trying one, we immediately stationed ourselves by the door of the kitchen to intercept the waitress as she came back out with reloaded platters. They were just too good to warrant any self-control.
