Aglio e Olio is a simple Italian recipe from Naples that’s garlicky, spicy, lemon-y, and so appetizing at any time of day! There are so many ways to make Aglio e Olio but here’s my favorite.
Roasted Beets & Carrots
You’ve seen my Watermelon Summer Salad – now it’s time for Persimmon Autumn Salad: sweet, salty, crunchy, spicy! This is a great way to use persimmons that aren’t as juicy.
Truffle Creamed Corn with Prosciutto
This fancy Creamed Corn brings out the flavors of sweetness (corn), saltiness (prosciutto) and complexity (truffle). Fun starter for lunches or at-home dinner dates.
Citrus Marinade Pork
This marinade uses oranges, which keeps the meat and sauce tasting sweet without getting acidic. Combine the sweetness with spicy cumin and salt, and you’ve got a mouthwatering summer dinner!
Watermelon Caprese Summer Salad
Beat the heat with this refreshing, cooling fruity salad. I’ve been making this a lot for brunch and lunch lately as it is so easy to put together.
Turmeric Chicken with Mango Salsa
This is one of my favorite dishes to make, bursting with spices and flavors! This meal follows the Mediterranean Diet but its flavors remind me so much of Malaysian dishes I grew up eating.
Sea Bream with Sesame Miso Dressing
Madai (red sea bream) in Japan is a fish usually eaten to celebrate something! The versatile madai is an excellent ingredient to wow your guests (and your palate).
Spicy Seared Bonito
One of my favorite fish is katsuo (skipjack tuna): it’s lean, a great source for essential fatty acids, calcium, zinc and other rich minerals, sustainable and cheap!
