Spicy Asian Rice Noodles

March 4, 2021 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

This is a super simple, spicy Asian noodle dish that is easy to make but packed with flavor. You could substitute egg/wheat noodles for the rice noodles, but I like using rice noodles in this recipe since they can just be soaked to soften; they don’t need to be cooked.  Ingredients: 8 oz. wide rice noodles ½ cup lower sodium soy sauce ¼ cup rice vinegar 2 Tbsp. … [Read more...]

3-Way Meatloaf

February 25, 2021 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

Meatloaf - along with macaroni and cheese - has to be at or near the top of the list of great American comfort foods. But, too often it can come out dry and bland. I’ve tried many meatloaf recipes over the years and have settled on this one as my favorite. It features a combination of three different meats: veal, pork and beef. However, you could customize your meatloaf by … [Read more...]

Gnocchi with Brown Butter & Sage

February 18, 2021 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

Years ago, when I was the restaurant critic for Las Vegas Life magazine, I reviewed a restaurant at the Bellagio Hotel called Olives. It was Boston restaurateur Todd English’s Mediterranean-style Vegas eatery and I really loved it. I especially loved his dish of gnocchi in brown butter and sage sauce. It’s a wonderful autumn/winter dish and it is easy to make at home. Of … [Read more...]

Basic Marinara Sauce

February 11, 2021 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

I frequently have a need for a basic marinara sauce for pasta or dishes like lasagna, baked ziti, chicken parmigiana, polenta, meatball sandwiches, and others. Here is a very simple, but quite tasty all-purpose marinara made with canned tomatoes. It freezes well, so you could double or triple this recipe to make a big batch.  Ingredients: 1 28-oz can crushed tomatoes or … [Read more...]

Cajun Shrimp Poppers

February 4, 2021 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

If you’re looking for something tasty to serve during the Super Bowl on Sunday, these spicy shrimp poppers are perfect. You could also substitute the shrimp for crawfish tails, if you’d like.  Ingredients: 1 Tbsp cayenne pepper 1 Tbsp ground cumin 1 Tbsp chili powder 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper 1/2 tsp salt 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour Oil … [Read more...]

Shrimp Creole

January 29, 2021 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

I’ve tried dozens of different recipes for shrimp Creole in the past. However, this one - which is based on a NY Times recipe - is my wife’s favorite, so it’s become my go-to shrimp Creole recipe. It may look complicated due to the large number of ingredients, but the actual cooking time is pretty brief - about a half hour.  Ingredients: 1 lb. shrimp, peeled and deveined … [Read more...]

Butter Chicken Recipe

January 21, 2021 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

Butter chicken is a very popular Indian curry dish that is also called murgh makhani. The chicken is smothered in a creamy curry sauce made with vindaloo spice mix, which can be purchased at stores and online such as at Penzeys Spices. This recipe is largely based on one shared by Andrew Zimmern in Food & Wine. You’ll want to get a head start as the chicken needs to … [Read more...]

Rice Noodles with Garlic and Sesame

January 14, 2021 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

Last week I shared a recipe for seared scallops. I served the scallops with a tasty Thai-style rice noodle side dish that is very easy to make. Here is the recipe for the noodles.   Ingredients: 4 Tbsp butter 4 cloves of garlic, peeled and minced 1/3 cup minced scallions 2 Tbsp oyster sauce 1 Tbsp brown sugar 2 tsp sesame oil 2 tsp soy sauce 6 oz rice … [Read more...]

Seared Sea Scallops

January 8, 2021 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

I love the slightly sweet and tart flavor of seared sea scallops - those are the large scallops; the small ones are bay scallops. They are super easy and quick to make - they literally cook in about 3 minutes. Serve them simply with salt and pepper or with a favorite sauce, aioli, remoulade, yuzu-miso, etc.  Ingredients: Fresh sea scallops - about 3-4 per person as a main … [Read more...]

Korean-Style Grilled Flank Steak

January 1, 2021 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

Here is a really flavorful recipe for flank steak that takes, literally, only minutes to cook. You’ll want to marinate the meat before cooking for at least 4 hours; I prefer to allow my flank steak to marinate overnight. I suggest serving the beef with rice and grilled green onions. Ingredients: 1/4 cup soy sauce 2 Tbsp sugar 2 Tbsp dry white wine 2 large garlic … [Read more...]
