Japanese Omelette
My husband and I have come to love the rolled omelettes of the Japanese variety, known as tamagoyaki. Tamagoyaki is a key component to a multi-dish Japanese breakfast often served with natto (fermented soybeans), miso soup, and a filet of grilled fish.
Creamy Caramelized Shallot Pasta
Caramelize a ton of shallots with butter and cream to make a sauce for the gods. Toss with your favorite pasta of choice for an allium extravaganza.
Bacon Croquettas
Bacon Croquettas are easy appetizers that you make in advance and fry once you’re ready to serve. When fried, the béchamel sauce becomes warm and creamy. It’s actually quite magical how the sauce stays contained in the thin crispy coating.
Crispy Pork Cutlets with Capers and Sweet Pepper Jam
Sweet peppers cooked down with capers and vinegar. Served over a crispy pork or chicken cutlet. This sauce would also be delicious over white fish. Enjoy with a crispy cold glass of white wine.
