Zucchini Pizza

Image
I used to cringe a little whenever I got zucchini or summer squash in my Boston Organics delivery because while I liked the vegetable enough not to add it to my "No List", I didn't like it enough to know what to do with it other than to stir fry it with garlic or grate it into an amnesty bread .  But that all changed when I saw Smitten Kitchen's post about summer squash pizza . I tweaked the recipe (which is originally from Jim Lahey of no-knead bread  fame) a little by using my favorite pizza crust  instead of the one in her post because I already had some on hand.  I also tossed the breadcrumbs in a little olive oil for a little extra crunch and to protect it from burning too fast. I wasn't really sure about having to buy the Gruyere cheese and even made it for the first time without the cheese and substituting with some minced garlic and olive oil (which, by the way, ended up being pretty darn good and worth trying if you don't eat cheese).  But then I cav...

Moo Daet Diao or Thai Style Pork Jerky

Image
Moo Daet Diao (literally, a day of sunshine pork) is Thai style pork jerky. We have two different kinds of pork and beef jerky in Thailand , the first one we can find in China town, on Yaowarach road, this one we don’t call Moo Daet Diao but it is called Moo Pen, means pork sheets, this Moo Pen is sweet jerky.

Nowadays you can find pork and beef jerky from China town at the luxury shopping centers in Bangkok or other big cities and also it is one of the most popular souvenirs for the tourists who visit China town in Bangkok . The other one, Moo Daet Diao, is normally found at Som Tum vendors or Issan style restaurants. Som Tum or Papaya salad is one of Issan or Nort...

Shirred eggs -- Oeufs sur le plat -- Oeufs miroir

Image
I know I saw The French Chef episode called "Elegant Eggs" ( the video in a new window ) with these cool eggs. But I had forgotten it (as I have most things I saw in the 1960s). So it was with a sense of revelation that I discovered a new (to me) way to fix eggs. And super fast (MAFC I p. 122) and so versatile. You can throw anything on them, almost, including chicken livers!--Julia puts this first!  Plain (or with cream and cheese) it takes only 5 minutes. With sauteed chicken livers it takes 10 minutes. And they really do come out "perfect," as she says in the video. Serves two as a first course 2 eggs olive oil cooking spray [optional:] 2 tablespoons cream or crème fraiche [optional:] 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan or Swiss cheese [optional:] chopped herbs or scallion tops Heat the broiler and place the rack in the closest position to it.  Place a half sheet or shallow pan over two burners on high heat and add 1/4 inch water.  Spray small two shallow dishes (3-4...
