Black Bean Burger

Blossom Lady

Jul 13, 2020 05:54 AM

No, not the Texas-style bean burger, which is a beef burger smothered in refried beans, tortilla chips, and Cheez Whiz. This is a literal bean burger made from actual beans. Far from tasting like bland hippie food from the ’70s, these are full of assertive flavor, creamy on the inside and wonderfully crisp on the outside. The batter is quite soft, so you’ll need to form the patties directly in the pan, using a spoon to keep things neat and intact. To save on cleanup, use the same skillet for sautéing the o...

Seasonal Zucchini Frittata

Blossom Lady

Jul 12, 2020 05:36 AM

This summery breakfast is a healthy and delicious way to wake up! Traditional Frittata is made with eggs and zucchini or potatoes or green beans or almost any vegetable you choose. Flavored with onion, maybe garlic, and seasoned with oregano or basil or parsley or your favorite herb, it is also a perfect brunch or a light dinner dish, and an absolute necessity for a family picnic. Serve it hot or warm, but it can wait and be just as tasty — if not more so — at room temperature. Try this simpl...

Homemade Healthy Nutella

Blossom Lady

Jul 08, 2020 04:44 AM

I am crazy for the taste of Nutella, but if you buy a jar and read the ingredients, you’ll see it is not exactly a healthy product. However, this homemade version tastes better than store-bought and there is not one single bad-for-you ingredient! The benefit of making things like homemade Nutella from scratch is that you can control what goes in it. So if you want to make it vegan, use vegan chocolate. If you want organic Nutella, use organic ingredients. Want is less sweet? Use dark chocolate and reduce ...

Seasonal Kitchen: Pasta All’Arrabbiata with Fresh Tomatoes

Blossom Lady

Jul 07, 2020 07:16 AM

Pasta all’Arrabbiata has long been one of my favorite dishes. For me, there is almost nothing better than pasta with a tasty, spicy, fruity tomato juice, especially in summer, when tomatoes are in season - fresh and delicious. It’s a perfect meal if you’re short in time or just don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen. Ingredients 80 ml extra virgin olive oil ½ small onion, very finely sliced A bit of garlic (optional) 1 kg ripe plum tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and cut into chunks Salt ½ teaspoon h...

Italian Kitchen: Eggplant, Mozzarella, and Dried Tomato Rolls

Blossom Lady

Jul 03, 2020 11:29 PM

The Italian name of these savory bites “Antipasto Estivo” translates literally as ‘summer antipasto”, but I think it is more helpful — and tempting — to know what goes into them. The reason for the simple name is that in Italy they use mostly seasonal ingredients, and certain summer combinations are classic. The components for this little antipasto can be prepared in advance and assembled at the last moment. It is served at room temperature, or the little rolls can be placed seam down in a lig...

Royal Recipe: Queen Elizabeth II’s Drop Scones

Blossom Lady

Jul 03, 2020 11:02 PM

In 1959, Queen Elizabeth II treated then-President Dwight Eisenhower and his wife to her drop scones, also known as “Scotch pancakes”, on the occasion of their visit to Balmoral Castle. The couple were such fans of the griddle cakes that the Queen sent them her family recipe, following their return to the States. "Dear Mr President," she wrote in the letter, which is available in the National Archives. "Seeing a picture of you in today's newspaper, standing in front of a barbecue grilling quail, reminded...

Chocolate–Peanut Butter Bars

Blossom Lady

Jul 03, 2020 09:24 AM

This is the only recipe I know of that begins with melting peanut butter and tastes better than the actual candy bar. I’ve been making this, both with kids and by myself, for years. After the peanut butter is melted, you mix in some chocolate chips, which will become very soft and almost melt too. Then you add some crisp cereal and form little bars, which get chilled in the refrigerator. The peanut butter and chocolate firm up, and the result is a batch of delectable treats somewhere between candy and...

Breakfast Banana Crêpes + Tips

Blossom Lady

Jul 01, 2020 12:42 AM

Oh là là … Our French friends have certainly earned more than three stars for their famous crêpes. In Brittany, crêpes are always served with sweet accompaniments, for example with sugar, jam, fresh fruit or hazelnut spread, and are served folded or rolled up. In this region, there is a clear distinction between the sweet crêpes and savoury galettes, whereas in other parts of France crêpes are also served with savoury fillings such as ham, cheese, egg, fish or vegetables. Tips for perfect crêpes: ...

Spicy Crusted Tofu Cutlets

Blossom Lady

Jun 29, 2020 07:48 AM

Unlike packaged tofu burgers, which are often a mysterious mix of beige ingredients, these cutlets are slabs of pure tofu, coated heavily with spice and cooked in the Cajun “blackened” way by searing them in a hot pan with no oil. The result is a terrific contrast between a smoky, crisp flavorful outer surface and a creamy pure interior. I like to make this with a spice mix called "za’atar", which is a Middle Eastern blend. You can make your own or buy it ready-made at some specialty foods stores and super...
