a veil of oil and a pinch of salt for 1-2 minutes, until the crumbs have become golden and crisp. Clean the radicchio, flip it and cut the leaves into strips. Wash the pear, cut it into thin slices and sprinkle it with the juice of a lemon. Prepare a sauce by mixing
the soy cream with 5 tablespoons of vinegar, a pinch of salt, a drizzle of oil and a ground of pink pepper. Season the endive, the radicchio and the pear with the sauce and a pinch of salt, garnish with the herbs crumbs and brought to the table.

A Spicy, Dicey, Mango Relish

I’m sure I’ve done at least 50 videos where I promise I’ll
show a side dish or technique seen therein at a future date. Of course, I
usually forget about it shortly thereafter, unless someone pokes me, but in the
case of this spicy mango relish, I actually reminded myself.

I found myself in possession of some nice, fat shrimp, which
I planned to spice up and sear simply (I promise to show that recipe at a
future date). I was thinking of topping with some kind of fresh salsa, when I
saw Michele had bought some mangoes for a lassi (I promise to show that recipe
at a future date).

As luck would have it, the mangoes were sitting near a can of
coconut milk, and I remembered the rice pudding video, and the diced mango
technique I had so casually promised. The rest of the story is kind of
anti-climatic.

This mango relish is wonderfully versatile and infinitely
adaptable. It might be at its best simply enjoyed with tortilla chips, but a
close second would be as I used it here, to dress some kind of spicy meat. It
was crazy good on these shrimp. Promise me you will give it a try soon…or at a
future date. Enjoy!

Ingredients for about 3/4 cup Mango Relish:

1 mango, prepped as shown

2 tsp chopped cilantro

2 tsp sambal chili sauce, or other type of fresh or jarred
chilies

2 tsp rice wine vinegar

big pinch of salt

Please Note: everything here is “to taste.”

A Friendly Spaghetti Carbonara Reminder

I was channel surfing this evening, when I ran across a chef in New York making an authentic spaghetti carbonara. I’ve never wanted anything so badly in my life. Having already eaten dinner, self-control prevailed, and I settled for a pretty decent pear. This primal blend of pork, pasta, pepper, egg and cheese is truly one of life’s great pleasures, and soul food of the highest order. Just in case you missed it, here‘s our version. Enjoy!
