Moroccan-Style Chicken Tagine

August 30, 2019 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

  A few years ago my wife gave me a tagine for my birthday. A tagine is an earthenware pot with a shallow, circular base and a domed or cone-shaped cover. It’s a cooking vessel that’s used all over North Africa and is especially useful for dishes—also called tajines—like this one. If you don’t have a tagine just substitute a large skillet with a lid. Tagine … [Read more...]

Well, with a little work and great ingredients (fresh lobster), you can create really delicious lobster rolls at home. These would be a tasty addition to your Labor Day weekend. Ingredients for homemade Lobster rolls : 1 lb. cooked lobster meat (shelled) 1 small celery … [Read more...]

It was roasted fingerling potatoes—a really simple and inexpensive but delicious side dish. Roasted Fingerling Potatoes recipe ingredients: 1 lb. fingerling potatoes, sliced in half lengthwise Leaves from 2 rosemary sprigs, minced Leaves from 2 … [Read more...]

Simple recipe for roasted pork tenderloin

August 9, 2019 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

  Pork Provençal I’ve been lucky to be able to spend a fair amount of time in the Provence region of France. It’s there that I learned to love rosé wines, Cavaillon melons, pastis, petanque, and the sunny disposition of Southern France. Garlic, rosemary, and fennel are ingredients commonly used in the region. Here is a simple recipe for roasted pork tenderloin that, … [Read more...]

Thai Shrimp Curry

August 2, 2019 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

  Thai Shrimp Curry ... I love Thai curries and they are pretty easy to make at home as long as you get all of the ingredients prepped and ready to go. It actually takes longer to cook rice to accompany this Thai curry than to cook the curry itself. If you’d like it spicier, add some sriracha or hot chili oil to the dish. Thai Shrimp Curry ingredients: 1 Tbsp … [Read more...]

Instant Pot Tacos al Pastor

July 26, 2019 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

  One of my favorite Mexican foods is tacos al pastor, a dish brought to Mexico by Lebanese immigrants. It is spit-grilled pork prepared in a similar manner to Greek gyros and the döner kebabs of Turkey. Making truly authentic al pastor is very time-consuming and complicated—best left to the pros. But here is a quick and easy Instant Pot version that I like very … [Read more...]

Scheff’s Table—Fried Vietnamese Spring Rolls

July 19, 2019 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

  Les nems—Fried Vietnamese Spring Rolls My favorite working chef/restaurateur is Eric Ripert of the venerable Le Bernardin in New York City. Ironically, one of my favorite dishes (and one of his) isn’t a high-end, elaborate menu item from Le Bernardin, but are the fried Vietnamese-style spring rolls that his French mother used to make for him, called les nems. … [Read more...]

Scheff’s Table—delicious crab salad

July 12, 2019 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

  When summer temperatures spike like they have this week, I often turn to a simple green salad for dinner—eschewing heavier meals in the heat. This is an easy but delicious dinner salad featuring cooked, high-quality crab. You could easily substitute cooked shrimp for the crab. Enjoy this salad with a nice glass of crisp Sauvignon Blanc. Ingredients for crab … [Read more...]

Friday night fish fry

July 5, 2019 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

  Fish batter recipe I never much liked fish when I was a kid. That’s probably because the only fish I remember eating were the fish sticks and fish cakes we’d be served in school cafeterias on Fridays. But then in England, I learned to love fish, where I first tasted really good fish and chips. Here is a very simple and versatile fish batter recipe (use it for … [Read more...]

Scheff’s Table—Bolognese-style ragu recipe for pasta

June 28, 2019 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

  This Bolognese-style ragu recipe is perfect for when I have some time on my hands—usually on a Sunday. I enjoy making a rich, hearty Bolognese-style pasta sauce (ragu) to serve for a family dinner. In Bologna, Italy, where Bolognese sauce originated, there are as many different ragu recipes as there are cooks. This is one that I really like. If you have the … [Read more...]
