The Recipe Box
Masala Chai Lamb Chops
Lamb isn't an every day protein in our house, but there's something about bolder meats when the temperature start to drop. I was going to make these with salt and pepper, but at the last minute decided to spice them up with SKORDO Masala Chai Spice Blend. My husband is an unabashed food critic and he gave this meal 10/10.
Green Thai Curry Mussels
Is there anything better than sopping up buttery broth with a crusty French bread? We vote no. This is our go to for adding complimentary flavors to sweet, delicate Maine mussels and it produces our all time favorite seafood broth for soaking and snacking. Win win!
Grilled Sea Bass
Summer is here and we're eating all the seafood! Whole fish on the grill is one of our favorite summer meals because its so simple. This is a very quick recipe, but the end result is bound to impress even the most discerning dinner guest.
Smoked North Carolina Chicken Wings
North Carolina Barbecue Rub is my go to for chicken wings. It's hot with a subtle sweetness and not too much of a smoky flavor. This recipe is a favorite with our friends and family and always leaves them coming back for more. Not a huge fan of heat? Pair these wings with Ranch Dip. The cool dip balances the heat of the wings - even people who prefer sweet chicken wings will fall for this winning combination!
Dolmathes Stuffed Cabbage Leaves
This is my Mom’s recipe for Dolmathes or Greek stuffed cabbage leaves. I fondly remember the aroma of these filling our house, ensuring no-one was ever late to dinner when they were on the menu! These Dolmathes are much larger and heartier than classic stuffed grape leaves and are a perfect family comfort food meal. Make sure you have a loaf of rustic bread for dipping, so no juices go to waste!
Dutch Baby Pancake
When I was growing up, these pancakes were always a special treat. I used to eagerly watch them inflate and bubble in the oven. Filling with air, splitting on top and then slowly dropping as they were removed from the oven to cool - so much drama in a pan! Now, they're a regular Sunday morning meal. One joy of growing up is you realize how easy these magical meals are to make and share with the people you love.
Chicken and Porcini Mushroom Soup with Turmeric and Sweet Smoked Paprika Rice Cakes
Chicken is a staple in our kitchen and a whole roasted chicken is a typical Sunday night meal. We’re in waste not – want not mode, so this week’s roasted chicken leftovers were repurposed into a Chicken and Porcini Mushroom Soup. We happened to have day old rice in the fridge and decided to make griddled rice cakes to go along with the soup, but you could always add noodles or a wild rice blend for added texture and flavor.
Korean BBQ Wings
I hate to say it, but these wings are finger-licking good. The perfect mix of spicy, sweet, sticky, savory goodness. Enjoy!
Barbecue Brisket Burgers
This recipe combines our favorite Texas rub with a perfectly tender brisket burger. The beef brisket creates a moist, super flavorful burger patty.
Cajun Blackened Sea Bass Tacos with Pickled Red Onions and Cumin-Lime White Sauce
One of our favorite dishes in the summertime are these blackened fish tacos. Loaded with fresh ingredients, bursting with flavor and texture, and a customizable base for everyone in the family.
One Pot Sazon Chicken with Black Beans
This simple Sazon Chicken recipe is a feast for both your palate and your eyes. The Sazon seasoning provides just the right level of spice and gives the dish a lovely amber and reddish color. And don't skip the sofrito. Make a batch of it and keep it in your fridge. Like the Sazon...it goes on everything!
Warm Roasted Madras Curry Chickpea Salad Lettuce Wraps
After hosting a private event with our member organization, Institute for Family-Owned Business, we’re still salivating over the fabulous food and fun we had! Culinary Instructor Cherie Scott, creator of Mumbai to Maine, demonstrated her unique Warm Roasted Curry Chickpea Salad with Lettuce Wraps after Erin (SKORDO co-founder) showed us how she makes our Madras Curry Powder. This toasted small batch blend is the magical ingredient in this recipe!
