Lobster Salad
Jul 14, 2005
Using canned chickpeas means no-fuss preparation — a potluck must. The yogurt and dill dip is a cool accompaniment to the crunchy, flavourful patties.
Mini sweet peppers are my pick for grilling, but they tend to be illusive – available one week, taken a powder the next. Like the fish, choose the best peppers available.
Often the simplest approach to vegetables is the best. And while most party-givers avoid the whole question of hot vegetables at a buffet, this festive Italian dish is both a visual and taste treat.
We have recreational oceanfront property on the Sunshine Coast in BC and have a abundance of fresh seafood available twelve months of the year. One trip several years ago we had only caught two redrock crab off our float and ramp system and about two dozen or so large BC spotted prawns. We decided to put these two ingredients together to make a tasty dish to go along with our city dinner. We have no stores nearby so must make do and improvise.
This Sunday roast recipe is a two-day cooking affair and worth the wait every time. A family favourite, Mama Melo's roast beef is typically savoured alongside mashed potatoes, corn and other vegetable sides. It's my idea of comfort food at its finest.
If taking this salad to a potluck, it's best to dress it just before leaving or once you arrive. Because of the peanuts, it's a good idea to check with the hostess about food allergies.
Poach, v., to cook food (usually egg, chicken or fish) by submerging it in liquid that is simmering or just below the boiling point.
