January, 2012 Newsletter — The Big Game Issue
What could be a better Super Bowl party menu theme than "Big Game Tacos?"
Smoked Oyster Deviled Eggs
Dress up the classic hors d'oeuvre with briny ocean flavors, a touch of smoke and a delicate blend of spices.
Wood-Fired Mussels with Rustic Olive and Tomato Sauce
Grilled mussels are a fantastic appetizer, and they really shine when grilled over a wood fire. We've paired them with a rustic sauce for a beautiful starter that delights the taste buds.
Roasted Root Vegetables
When the weather gets cold, we turn to heartier food. Root vegetables are especially welcome at the table this time of year. Turnips and parsnips are combined with potatoes, onion and thyme in a single pan. It’s throwback recipe that will warm your heart. Rutabagas or carrots work equally as well in this recipe.
Sour Cherry and Mascarpone Croissants
Light, flaky and buttery croissants are the canvas for the bite of sour cherry spread that is counterbalanced by the mellow creaminess of mascarpone cheese.
Alder-Planked Filet Mixed Grill
Cooking food on a wooden plank imparts a subtle flavor that varies with the species of wood. It also can be a much more forgiving cooking technique than placing food directly over the fire. There are no flare-ups and the indirect cooking approach slows down all the action.
Blistered Tomato Salad
The simple ingredients for this salad are brought to life over the fire of the grill.
