Spicy Salmon & Tuna Blowout Rolls
We wanted to get some sushi rolling practice in before teaching a Sushi & Sake class at work. Here’s the plate we came up with: Spicy Salmon, Spicy Tuna and our very own Blowout Roll!
Oysters w/ Spicy Aioli
Birds were circling above as we took the photo for this one. At least this time I knew better than to turn my back on them before snapping the photo (see 5-4 scallops). Rappahannock, Royal Amethyst, Kumamoto Jewel and Blue Point oysters make up this tasty assortment of bivalve mollusks; each having a unique flavor profile that pairs nicely with the spicy aioli.
Tuna Tartare Cucumber Bites
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.
Sammy’s Swordfish Tacos
With my sister Sammy visiting from Napa, I thought it was a perfect opportunity to make her a home-cooked meal in between this weekend’s festivities. Try these fun & colorful swordfish tacos that are sure to impress your guests.
Poke Tuna Blowout Bowl
One of my favorite things about the Poke Tuna Blowout Bowl is how quick and easy it is to make.
