Hot & Spicy Food Day!

#TodayNFood

Oh, I think I can actually do this on the proper day, today (the other ones I can never seem to do on the right day :lol3:). I can guarantee you I will eat something spicy/with hot sauce on it...I love spicy food so much. :biggrin2:

CHOCOLATE MILKSHAKE

with "DIVIDEND"

6765.jpg

 

YESTERDAY:

I ate a mess of Indian food at lunch time, but it was really my breakfast.

Didn't feel so good after.

 

Had a chocolate milkshake for dinner, but when I poured the "dividend" part out,

it came out in a big thick lump and flooded the soda glass

and poured all over the table top.

 

Just had a midnight snack of nearly a whole packet of Ritz crackers!

I hope my tummy understands!

So True:

"Part of the secret of success in life is to eat what you like

& let the food fight it out inside."

Recipe Sleuth: The Majestic’s Fennel Salad

By Jessica Sidman Published Thursday, August 20, 2009

What’s crunchy, creamy, citrusy, and herby? This week’s Recipe Sleuth request: The Majestic’s fennel salad. Chef Shannon Overmiller says the classic Mediterranean salad, traditionally paired with tuna, works nicely with any fish (she’s currently serving it with grilled whole orata). She encourages home cooks to adjust the recipe according to their personal tastes. For variations, try substituting grapefruit for one of the citrus juices, using different types of olives, or adding pine nuts.

 

The Majestic Cafe’s Fennel Salad with Citrus Dressing

Serves two

Fennel Salad

1 bulb fennel, shaved (keep the shavings in a bowl of water with lemon juice so the fennel doesn’t brown)

1 pinch chopped fresh mint

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil

1 tablespoon toasted almonds

5 to 6 orange segments

1 tablespoon nicoise olives, pitted and halved

1 squeeze lemon

Pinch chopped garlic

5 to 6 chili flakes

Citrus dressing, to taste (recipe below)

 

Combine all ingredients except the dressing in a large bowl. Add the dressing to taste and toss.

 

Citrus Dressing

2 whole hard-boiled eggs

2 tablespoons chopped garlic

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

3⁄4 teaspoon chopped fresh mint

11⁄2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil

11⁄2 teaspoons anchovy paste

10 dried chili flakes

1 cup canola oil

2 cups extra virgin olive oil

Juice of 1 orange

Juice of 1 lemon

Juice of 1 lime

1⁄2 cup white vinegar

Salt, to taste

Pepper, to taste

 

In blender add the eggs, garlic, herbs, anchovy, and chili. Puree the mixture until it becomes a paste. Add the oils in a slow stream so the dressing emulsifies. Stir in the citrus juices and vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
