Cheeseburgers with Black Garlic Aioli and Caramelized Onions
Black Garlic is gummy, rich, sweet, fermented garlic. It brings a unique umami flavor that won't feel familiar on your palette unless you've had it before. To cut through the richness, I finished this black garlic aioli with balsamic vinegar. This makes a beautiful burger sauce that compliments our caramelized onions, made with the best steak rub- SKORDO Steak. I encourage you to experiment with these bulbs, the possibilities are endless, burgers are a safe place to start.
Aleppo Oil
If you've read through our Meet Amy blog, linked here, you're probably still thinking about this gorgeous Aleppo oil. Lucky for us- she shared how she does it. The opportunities are endless with this condiment!

Baked Brie featuring Runamok Chipotle Morita Infused Honey
This recipe is inspired by Melissa Clark's Phyllo-Wrapped Brie with Hot Honey and Anchovies in her book, Dinner in French: My Recipes By Way of France. A busy fall schedule meant this was made at 9am on a Tuesday morning for a quick taste test. Turns out, pastry wrapped cheese is the perfect breakfast. The added savory notes from the garlic, anchovies and peppers pair perfectly with the sweet heat in Runamok's Chipotle Morita Infused Honey. Delicious!
Everything Chile Oil
"This is my version of Szechuan Chile oil (sometimes called mala hot sauce), which I have called 'everything oil' because, well, it makes everything taste better." - Hetty McKinnon, To Asia, With Love
Hetty has never led us wrong before, so we made the oil and have now used it three times since! Mixed into mayonnaise on corn on the cob, as a marinade for grilled eggplant, and as a dumpling dipping sauce. It was a ton of fun to work with such unique ingredients... Korean Chile flakes (Gochugaru), Szechuan Peppercorns, Star Anise, and more. A serious flavor bomb...
Advieh Spiced Chocolate Sauce
Healthy sweets sound like a trick, but this recipe from the team at S+P Plant Based Foods is our kind of bamboozle. This decadent chocolate sauce is the pantry staple we all deserve!
Sauce Party! Curried Mustard Sauce, Cranberry Sauce, and Dill Mayo
Let’s talk leftovers. With Thanksgiving behind us, chances are there’s some turkey in the fridge and plenty of sandwiches being made. Personally, I think turkey tastes best slathered in all sorts of flavorful spreads. Gravy on the big day, cranberry sauce for breakfast and maybe a curried mustard for snack time dipping. Really, the meat is just a vehicle for flavor packed sauces, spreads and dips.
Pistachio Pesto
This recipe is from Stacy Adimano's Piatti: Plates and Platters for Sharing, Inspired by Italy. The books pages are packed with approachable recipes for small gatherings. It's cover features a tray of artichokes slathered with olive oil so enticing that we keep catching our selves day dreaming for al fresco lunches paired with a crisp white wine. For one member of our team, the book and this recipe in particular transported her back in time to her days living in Sicily where she first fell for pistachio pesto. Give it a try and let us know what you think!
