Bloody Mary Mignonette
When I see Celery Salt, I think of two things- Lobster Rolls + Bloody Mary's! We've got our Southwest Bloody Mary Cocktail Recipe here in the Recipe Box, but how incredible would it be if each slurp of a fresh raw oyster had a Bloody Mary shot in it? Yum! While oysters are my go-to, you can find a collection of other ideas on how to use this mignonette at the end! Happy shucking!
Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Chili Aioli, Avocado, and Pickled Chilis
We had so much fun partnering with Chef Mike Kubiesa (co-author with Kristin Cavallari of True Comfort and True Roots) on this recipe. Our favorite thing about it? It's restaurant-quality but so doable for home cooks. He used both SKORDO Steak Seasoning and SKORDO Lemon Herb Fish Seasoning in the dish. To quote Mike, "this looks fancier than it is! I know it's a struggle for a lot of people to get quick and healthy meals out for them or their families on a nightly basis - trust me, I get it! My goal is to help you with that." Love it.
Steak Tip Wedge Salad | Garlic Pepper Caesar Dressing
Who doesn't love a wedge salad? Sure they can be clunky to eat, but they're refreshing and flexible. Our new Garlic Pepper is loaded with Garlic, Pepper, Brown Sugar, Paprika, Onion, Cumin, Bell Pepper, Parsley--which to me screams steakhouse salad. The coarse cracked pepper crusts beautifully on the steak tips and make this creamy dressing pop! It's very much influenced by Caesar dressing, and by using mayonnaise as the base it comes together in seconds. Make it your own by switching out different cheeses and toppings like blue cheese, bacon, hardboiled eggs, or maybe artichokes.
Citrus Salad with Fennel Pollen
Hellllloooo new ingredient! Fennel Pollen is here + ready to play! Unfamiliar with fennel pollen? We've got it all covered in this blog post- what it is, what it's like, where it comes from + more. With such a beautiful, delicate ingredient it is important to give it the spot light. Here we made a bright, springy salad that essentially dresses itself between bites with the blood oranges. It makes a great mid-day snack or an impressive appetizer ((especially with this AE Ceramics Oyster plate!)
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!
Harissa Hummus (+ Hummus Base Recipe)
The addition of Harissa to the hummus creates both a tasty and healthy dish. Use this on pita bread or as a side with other classic Middle Eastern dishes. The fresh flavor, coupled with the subtle heat of the Harrisa, will make it the star of the meal.
Maple Orange Caramel Popcorn
This is the perfect family treat after a day in the snow! The maple and orange flavors add a fun pop of flavor.
Savory Maple Granola
Created as part of our Edible Gift Guide- this granola is a fun way to challenge the suggestions on the jars, and enjoy your favorite blends any time of day. I've said it 600 times + I'll continue to find joy in saying it--there is NO salmon in the SKORDO Maple Salmon Rub.
Black Truffle Mac + Cheese
SKORDO Black Truffle Sea Salt is a perfect addition to any dish you want to elevate or make feel indulgent. It provides that umami flavor, where you aren't exactly sure what you're tasting but you're into it. This mac + cheese is the perfect intro to playing with truffle salt, it takes an already beloved dish and pushes it one step 'fungi-er' (funkier).
Spicy Maple + Curried Squash Risotto
This recipe is adapted from top chef Sara Bradley, who developed it to share with the Taste Buds of Kalamata's Kitchen. Inspired by Kalamatas "Humpty Dumpty Had a Great Fall Squash Risotto" tshirt (that I am obsessed with!) this risotto hits the spot this time of year. It was such a joy to incorporate SKORDO flavors in an already incredible dish.
Tamarind-Maple-Glazed Acorn Squash with Chile Yogurt
"Fruity, tangy tamarind joins forces with maple syrup to heighten the earthy sweetness of roasted squash. Cool yogurt spiked with smoky chiles adds more layers of flavor and texture" With some adaptations to utilize SKORDO ingredients, this recipe from Everyone's Table by Gregory Gourdet was a delightful way to dive into the fall season.
Orzo Salad with Grilled Vegetables + Greek Seasoning
Our Greek Seasoning is the perfect compliment to your favorite veggies from the garden. This salad has become our go-to for a simple and delicious side for a group as it works well with veggies that are grilled or roasted and can be served warm or room temperature. Make the components ahead of time and toss together prior to serving. Serves 10 and leftovers keep well in the fridge.
