Many of the ingredients in the list make for wonderful food souvenirs from your visits to public markets and shops during your travels: Extra virgin olive oil, cumin, pimenton dulce, and Ñora pepper paste. No doubt every time you make this dish you’ll think about the day you purchased those ingredients! And to keep the goodness going at home you can easily find these items online at retailers like The Spanish Table or La Tienda. https://www.mediterraneansummer.com/recipe/shrimp-cod-and-chorizo-tapa-al-ajillo monthly 0.5 2024-04-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c314d5bebafbb8fe53392d/1713986550282-XBICS652D6WNY80G35XI/MS-Recipe-Shrimp-Cod-Chorizo-tapa-grid.jpg Recipes - Shrimp, Cod, and Chorizo Tapa al Ajillo - This is an incredibly easy dish to make. What’s important with something so simple is that the quality of the ingredients needs to be very high—not because of price, but more important, for flavor. You will see there are many opportunities to deviate from this preparation, for example, using different fish and shellfish, herbs, or other seasonings. Serving steamed potatoes or saffron flavored rice on the side are wonderful additions. Putting it all together in an oven-to-table baking dish is preferable, and using a Spanish terra cotta baking dish called a cazuela will be muy auténtico! https://www.mediterraneansummer.com/recipe/catalan-picada monthly 0.5 2024-04-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c314d5bebafbb8fe53392d/bc53c144-a6cb-4a6f-8e67-bb20df18fcaf/MS-Recipe-Catalan-Picada-page.jpg Recipes - Catalan Picada - Somewhat similar to Genovese pesto but used differently this sublime condiment from the Cataluña region of Spain can be stirred into soups, stews, braises, and bean dishes just before serving. It adds a very satisfying layer of flavor and slightly thickens whatever it’s added to. This is a base recipe that is wonderful as is but can be modified with other seasonings such as hints of cinnamon, lemon zest, marjoram, or even unsweetened cocoa. You can also take this to another level by using Spanish oil made from Arbequina olives and raw Marcona almonds. https://www.mediterraneansummer.com/recipe/porcini-mayonnaise monthly 0.5 2022-01-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c314d5bebafbb8fe53392d/1642548229034-3FJILNDJ4EKHO6IDA74U/MS-Recipe-Porcini-Mayonnaise-grid.png Recipes - Porcini Mayonnaise - At the wonderful food store Gastronomia Peck in Milan, a signature garnish on their elaborate prepared seafood platters is a dollop of mayonnaise on a scampi tail or shrimp topped with a small, preserved porcini mushroom. This elegant combination is the inspiration for this very satisfying accompaniment to baked, grilled, or poached fish and seafood. Instead of using mayonnaise try this in shrimp, crab, or lobster salads. And for land-based occasions have it in sandwiches with cold roasted meats, turkey, or chicken salads. https://www.mediterraneansummer.com/recipe/tapeo-chimichurri monthly 0.5 2022-01-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c314d5bebafbb8fe53392d/b456f6c3-cce1-403a-bc95-13043d0d74f1/MS-Recipes-Tapeo-Chimichurri-page.jpg Recipes - Tapeo Chimichurri - There is a wonderful restaurant near the Picasso Museum in Barcelona, Spain called Tapeo. Daniel, the chef and owner was very kind to give me the ingredient list for his version of chimichurri. Putting it together is pretty straightforward since it is very easy to make. However, he wrote down the ingredients in restaurant quantities! I have distilled them down for home use. https://www.mediterraneansummer.com/recipe/salade-shirazi monthly 0.5 2022-01-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c314d5bebafbb8fe53392d/7107776f-6ed1-480b-983c-552f3c89c34d/MS-Recipes-Salade-Shiraz-page.jpg Recipes - Salade Shirazi - You’ll find similar variations of this fresh and crunchy salsa-like combination composed of vegetables and herbs throughout the Eastern Mediterranean. No wonder it’s very popular—it goes with just about everything! Practice your knife work when making this for optimal visual and flavor appeal. https://www.mediterraneansummer.com/recipe/madame-quilliers-rouille monthly 0.5 2022-01-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c314d5bebafbb8fe53392d/d6364f3b-bd7b-4dc9-99c2-c36411a3d527/MS-Recipe-Mdme-Q-Rouille-page.jpg Recipes - Madame Quillier’s Rouille - Madame Quillier was the owner of a cookware store near the public market in the old town section of Antibes, France. Since the private yacht I worked on was based in Antibes much of what I purchased for the galley was from her shop. When I bought a mortar and pestle Madame gave me this recipe and said the mortar was the perfect tool to use for making it. Typically rouille is spread on a small crouton then topped with grated Gruyere cheese as an accompaniment for Provençal fish soup. But it is equally delicious with baked, grilled, or griddled fish, shellfish, and even lamb or chicken. Don’t worry about using a mortar and pestle—a food processor works just fine. https://www.mediterraneansummer.com/recipe/salsa-verde monthly 0.5 2022-01-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c314d5bebafbb8fe53392d/1633728985280-V97ETSN8RH3774JKY5BQ/MS_Recipes_Salsa_Verde_page.jpg Recipes - Salsa Verde - The amount of parsley and oil in the ingredient list will create a nice consistency for the sauce. The quantities for the remaining ingredients are a starting point and not absolutes. The result should be a nice balance among all of the flavors with a pleasant hit of acidity from the vinegar. Serve with grilled or boiled meats and poultry, poached fish, and steamed or boiled vegetables. https://www.mediterraneansummer.com/recipe/dijon-vinaigrette monthly 0.5 2021-10-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c314d5bebafbb8fe53392d/1633728890046-H01LH32O57LOL4AFWJS7/MS_Recipes_Dijon_Vin+_page.jpg Recipes - Dijon Vinaigrette - This is the basic recipe. You can use different vinegars and flavored Dijon mustards. Or to the finished dressing you can add herbs like tarragon, chives, chervil, or thyme; crushed green peppercorns or coriander seeds; honey; a touch of walnut or hazelnut oil; even some crumbled blue cheese. https://www.mediterraneansummer.com/recipe/tuna-and-chickpea-tapa monthly 0.5 2021-10-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c314d5bebafbb8fe53392d/1633729353829-VB9YRQRMCHKT30KTJMW7/MS-Recipe-Tuna-Chickpea-Tapa-page.jpg Recipes - Tuna and Chickpea Tapa - There are many variations of this you can make. For example, instead of the pimentón you can use cumin, espelette chili powder, or sumac. And instead of the tinned tuna, you can serve this as a side dish to grilled tuna steaks. Same with octopus—tinned or grilled. Mussels, shrimp, and flaked baccala are divine too. It’s also great with lamb. Or go vegetarian. https://www.mediterraneansummer.com/recipe/spreadable-tuna-mousse monthly 0.5 2021-04-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c314d5bebafbb8fe53392d/1559281774170-VYKCG2J6SY9EN7JYQ4UN/MS-Recipes-Spuma.jpg Recipes - Spreadable Tuna Mousse - If I could bring something to the world of gastronomy, this would be my first entry. It is imperative to use a good quality oil-packed tuna when you make this. Since there isn’t a standard for retail tuna packing, the recipe calls for the drained weight. Please start with the quantities of ingredients. However, due to variations, have a little more lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, and soy sauce to make adjustments. The result wants to be a tame tuna flavor with balanced hints of acidity, salt (from the soy sauce), a hint of balsamic vinegar, and a little creaminess from the butter. https://www.mediterraneansummer.com/recipe/salad-of-marinated-chickpeas monthly 0.5 2024-04-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c314d5bebafbb8fe53392d/1559280895702-KX3ZHZA8EBVHXM9WCVNB/MS-Recipe-Chickpea-Salad.jpg Recipes - Salad of Marinated Chickpeas - This classic southern Italian antipasto is also a great accompaniment to seafood, grilled tuna or tuna packed in oil; grilled leg of lamb, whether whole, cut into steaks, or as brochettes; roast chicken; and thinly sliced dry-cured or smoked ham both domestic or imported. https://www.mediterraneansummer.com/recipe/pasta-allamatriciana monthly 0.5 2021-10-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c314d5bebafbb8fe53392d/1633729643702-JZKF2ATR3GF1FDSKM01K/MS_Recipes_all_amatriciana-page.jpg Recipes - Pasta all’Amatriciana - This is a classic from the mountainous area of Amatrice in the Lazio region of Italy. It’s typically made with a thick, hollow, spaghetti-like pasta called bucatini. Here, penne is called for. Pancetta is in the recipe because it’s easy to find but if you have access to guanciale—cured pig’s jowl—you’ll put yourself right into the old country! https://www.mediterraneansummer.com/recipe/linguine-with-clams-and-zucchini monthly 0.5 2021-04-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c314d5bebafbb8fe53392d/1559086981263-42QJDRUREAKKWHWW6NIG/MS_Recipes_Lingine_with_clams.jpg Recipes - Linguine with Clams and Zucchini - A popular and classic primo of the Amalfi Coast, this recipe is an adaptation from Ristorante Lo Scoglio in Marina del Cantone. One of the servers at the restaurant gave me a tip for success when making this— the seemingly overcooked zucchini in the method makes for very flavorful oil in which to cook the clams. And a shopkeeper in Sorrento offered it’s always better to use a flat pasta like linguine so the sauce or condiments adhere to the pasta instead of using a round shape like spaghetti. https://www.mediterraneansummer.com/recipe/fish-in-crazy-water monthly 0.5 2021-04-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c314d5bebafbb8fe53392d/1559086456775-2F2PZBXUFM32DZ5WGXAI/MS_Recipes_Acqua_Pazza.jpg Recipes - Fish in Crazy Water - From the region of Campania and a classic of Neapolitan cooking, this recipe is all about a great piece of fish cooked in a wonderfully simple way. At the beginning of the cooking, everything in the pan is fairly dry, but by the time the fish is cooked, there will be a simmering bath of acqua pazza—crazy water. Serve with roasted or steamed potatoes. https://www.mediterraneansummer.com/recipe/chocolate-capri-cake monthly 0.5 2021-04-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c314d5bebafbb8fe53392d/1559283279091-O3X6X9FJMSPAXKLS1ZJ4/MS-Recipe-Chocolate-Cake.jpg Recipes - Chocolate Capri Cake - When I was the private chef for an Italian couple on board their classic sailing yacht, one of the requirements of the job was not to repeat any dishes in my menus throughout the entire five-month summer season. The owner’s wife, upon her word, was the only one who could bend this rule. She requested this dessert a few times each season. https://www.mediterraneansummer.com/recipe/baked-cherry-pudding monthly 0.5 2021-04-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c314d5bebafbb8fe53392d/1559278906853-LW2L5NXCA15SN58I3KGL/MS-Recipe-Clafoutis.jpg Recipes - Baked Cherry Pudding - From the Limousin area of central France, Clafoutis is very easy to make. Find cherries that are large and firm with a nice balance of sweet and tart. Wash and pit the fruit. Make a batter. Bake both together. Dust with powdered sugar. Serve with crème fraiche or sour cream on the side. That’s it. Remember for success this kind of simplicity is reliant on the quality of the ingredients. You can also use apricots. Cut them in half, remove the stone, and arrange cut side up in the baking dish. https://www.mediterraneansummer.com/recipe/category/Pantry monthly 0.5 https://www.mediterraneansummer.com/recipe/category/Appetizer monthly 0.5 https://www.mediterraneansummer.com/recipe/category/Entree monthly 0.5 https://www.mediterraneansummer.com/recipe/category/Poultry monthly 0.5 https://www.mediterraneansummer.com/recipe/category/Sauce monthly 0.5 https://www.mediterraneansummer.com/recipe/category/Pasta monthly 0.5 https://www.mediterraneansummer.com/recipe/category/Dessert monthly 0.5 https://www.mediterraneansummer.com/recipe/category/Condiment monthly 0.5 https://www.mediterraneansummer.com/recipe/category/Salad monthly 0.5 https://www.mediterraneansummer.com/recipe/category/Fish%2FSeafood monthly 0.5 https://www.mediterraneansummer.com/recipe/category/Meat monthly 0.5 https://www.mediterraneansummer.com/recipe/tag/mousse monthly 0.5 https://www.mediterraneansummer.com/recipe/tag/linguini monthly 0.5 https://www.mediterraneansummer.com/recipe/tag/tuna monthly 0.5 https://www.mediterraneansummer.com/recipe/tag/shrimp monthly 0.5 https://www.mediterraneansummer.com/recipe/tag/chorizo monthly 0.5 https://www.mediterraneansummer.com/recipe/tag/cherries monthly 0.5 https://www.mediterraneansummer.com/recipe/tag/cocido monthly 0.5 https://www.mediterraneansummer.com/recipe/tag/tapa monthly 0.5 https://www.mediterraneansummer.com/recipe/tag/zuccini monthly 0.5 https://www.mediterraneansummer.com/recipe/tag/pudding monthly 0.5 https://www.mediterraneansummer.com/recipe/tag/chickpeas monthly 0.5 https://www.mediterraneansummer.com/recipe/tag/cake monthly 0.5 https://www.mediterraneansummer.com/recipe/tag/cod monthly 0.5 https://www.mediterraneansummer.com/recipe/tag/halibut monthly 0.5 https://www.mediterraneansummer.com/recipe/tag/clams monthly 0.5 https://www.mediterraneansummer.com/recipe/tag/chocolate monthly 0.5 https://www.mediterraneansummer.com/perspectives daily 0.75 2021-03-19 https://www.mediterraneansummer.com/perspectives/mediterranean-summer-cooking monthly 0.5 2021-04-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c314d5bebafbb8fe53392d/1617154997120-G27W48FGR1XA278JI0RO/perspectives-1-page-v2.jpg Perspectives - Mediterranean Summer Cooking - “The American housewife— man or woman— is potentially the best of all possible cooks; for even in times of scarcity she has in shameful abundance all the necessary ingredients. She lives in a veritable paradise of flesh, fish, and fowl; of fruit, vegetables, and dairy products; while the great transoceanic liners bring to her market all the condiments and ingredients not indigenous to the region in which she lives. All she needs is the will to take advantage of her opportunities. For the increased joy of her precious brood, may she do so with all speed.” — Angelo Pellegrini, The Unprejudiced Palate, 1948 https://www.mediterraneansummer.com/perspectives/ingredient-ingredient-ingredient monthly 0.5 2021-04-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c314d5bebafbb8fe53392d/1617154894971-X8IWBMMMQ4XEKTV3F916/perspectives-2-page-v2.jpg Perspectives - Ingredient.
