As the weather gets warmer, I’m sure I’ll be less drawn to soup recipes. We even grilled a couple of times last week and it was magic. The collection of recipes today still has a couple of soups, but also just some recipes I loved and had to share and also some I’ve recently made.
I don’t know why Heidi Swanson and I are so obsessed with lentil soups, but she’s published another one, and I’ve fallen for it. This coconut red lentil soup recipe sounds just perfect to me, with the addition of quirky ingredients like golden raisins.
Tyler Florence’s teriyaki sauce I’m sure is delightful as written, but I messed with this recipe last week to outstanding results. More orange juice, less soy sauce (I used tamari) and onion instead of scallion (use what’s in the house!) made a spectacular salmon marinade.
More soup … I’ve been working on perfecting this pumpkin coconut soup to my liking, but it’s not quite there yet. I want it to have a slightly more Thai flavor, but the curry powder makes it more Indian. I haven’t found the right balance of Thai curry paste to other spices yet, but when I do you’ll be the first to know.
Belgian brownies sound a lot like flourless chocolate cake to me … with a little bit of flour. Or even chocolate souffle with all of those eggs. Either way, these get a big yum from me.
Every time I plan on making this recipe for orange hoisin shortribs, the lazies overtake me and I just buy a package of Trader Joe’s Korean BBQ Shortribs instead. They really are delicious and the five-year-old literally craves them. Someday, though, someday….
