Crisp deep-fried sage leaves are conversation stoppers at a party, not to mention an intriguing way to use up a bountiful crop of sage from your garden.
Whole fresh sage leaves tucked under the skin show through when the skin turns translucent, golden and crisp. Because of its intensity, dried sage is best for the Sage Butter.
Tender wedges of Savoy cabbage act like a sponge for the earthy sage butter.
I love cooking and have been in the kitcken since I can remember. I also enjoy entertaining family & friends. My friends offen joke around and call me "Martha." Summer entertaining has always been my favorite. I'm always mixing up different ingredients to marinade or rub on meat, poultry and vegetables.
The honey and sage work really well together. This recipe has all the great components for a great marinade. The base, olive oil, honey for sweetness, the lemon juice for citrus and the sage to round all the flavors together.
The glaze really makes the chicken. It brings out the flavors in the marinade even more; the honey brings a nice sweetness, the lemon juice gives tartness and helps thin out the honey. Tabasco sauce helps kick things up a bit. For presentation this dish speaks for itself, but I like to garnish with whole fresh sage leaves and slices of lemons. I like to serve the chicken with baked potatoes and a simple side salad. This is a delicious dish and I hope you enjoy it as much as we have and it is also very affordable meal for entertaining, around $80.00 for a whole meal for 6-8 people. That's pretty good. Enjoy!
Italians have endless variations on chicken roasted with potatoes but none better than this sage-infused one, in which white wine makes a glorious sauce.
Free up your stove top and oven with this festive dish made in the slow cooker. Be sure to cut the sweet potatoes to the appropriate thickness so they maintain their shape when cooked. If you like, garnish the dish with chopped fresh sage.
Tender-crisp edamame adds a healthful twist to this wintery mushroom couscous. Mustard, chicken broth and sage come together with the pork chop pan juices to create a quick and tasty sauce. Serve with arugula salad with a lemony dressing.
Dressed in a classic array of herbs that you'll find in your pantry, this turkey is one that your family can enjoy for years to come. To add even more herb flavour, we've added fresh sage to the gravy, but feel free to omit it, if desired.
This intensely rich dark chocolate cake is for grown-ups only (but you can find the recipe for our kid-friendly version, Spiced Chocolate Bundt Cake, below). We used Cabernet Sauvignon for its balance of deep fruity and black pepper flavours, but you can use whatever type of red you have on hand. A sprinkling of our Candied Sage gives the cake an extra-special finish.
When a craving for mushrooms hit Ralph, he would bundle the kids into the car and head for the supermarket to buy mushrooms. "Just mushrooms," says Michael. "Then he would fry up a big feed of them and we would all sit down to enjoy them - just mushrooms."
