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.
Chicken Souvlaki Skewers | Tzatziki Dip
Marinated chicken + Tzatziki are two things that are better with time, so prep this the day before and you have a quick, easy dinner. This one is flexible as it can be baked or grilled. You could even save the leftovers for your next chicken gyros recipe or greek Souvlaki salad.
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.
Crispy Tofu + Broccoli | Garlic Pepper
Crispy, Sticky, Garlic-y. This vegetarian friendly meal is quick and simple, while packing a ton of flavor. Make this one your own by swapping in your favorite vegetables, or serving with noodles instead of rice. Our new Garlic Pepper seasoning is salt-free, making it perfect for asian dishes that use a lot of soy sauce.
Snacking Cake | Runamok Hibiscus Honey
Snacking Cakes- baked with the goal of sitting on your kitchen counter getting nibbled on all day long until it's gone. Ideal for break rooms, hostess gifts, and pick-me-ups. With the casual nature of enjoying this cake, we're going to mix it in a food processor for easy clean up. Runamok's Hibiscus Honey is the perfect way to welcome spring.
Maine Blueberry Chicken Skewers with Yogurt Dip
If you haven't been over to The Makers Galley on Commercial Street in Portland, then you're missing out! We love seeing the wide variety of art, books, and pantry essentials from local makers all in one place. Be sure to keep an eye on their event calendar. Owner Rachel Sagiroglu and Chef Arianna Stefanilo are always whipping up something special- Pajama Brunch on Sunday's and Shop & Shuck Saturday's to cooking classes and tastings. You may see familiar SKORDO jars on their retail shelves and even a well loved test tube rack in the kitchen. We were invited to their opening night where we got to taste some of Ariannas staples- including these Maine Blueberry Chicken Skewers with Yogurt Dip.
Vanilla Swiss Buttercream
We are thrilled to be expanding our baking ingredient collection! If you haven't experienced vanilla bean paste yet, you are in for a treat. This concentrated, molasses-like paste is made from pure Madagascar Vanilla beans and is the best way to get beautiful vanilla flakes in your frosting without having to use a whole bean.
Tikka Masala Pie
This recipe is homey, cozy and will warm you up with a nice blend of juicy seasoned chicken and velvety tomato cream sauce.
But what made it ultra special when we made this in Baking It were the spices we used from SKORDO and we think that they made all the difference. We thought of recreating it again with all the spices we used from SKORDO and it turned out be even better.
Brothy Mediterranean Seafood Boil
This colorful and flavorful medley of seafood and stewed beans is our favorite way to quickly enjoy our newest Mediterranean Fish Seasoning. One pot boil, and all the mess is sopped up with crusty bread. Have fun switching it up with different seafood like shrimp and calamari, or add more veggies like corn or kale. If you like a bit more heat, add some crushed red peppers during your sauté. Enjoy!
Chicken Alfredo + Fennel Pollen
Kicking off the spring with fennel pollen! With its strong sweet and savory flavor, it may be the worlds best recipe finisher. It's bright and floral and balances the heaviness of this Alfredo sauce.
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!)
Turkish Egg
As our relationship with Amy Kayne started to bloom, we were just waiting for the chance to learn how she makes all of her incredible Middle Eastern food. She has since graciously shared her Turkish Egg recipe with us and we can't wait for you to give it a try! She finishes this beautiful plate with her Aleppo Oil, you can find that recipe here.
