Steamed Clams
Steamed clams are always a hit. You can do as an appetizer like this (with buttered sourdough) or Italian style with spaghetti its sure to be a favorite. Very simply cooked with garlic, EVOO, thyme, & white wine then finish with a high quality butter. Common additions are shallots or bacon for a smoky touch.

Dumplings. A Comfort Food
If its cloudy & weary or cold and dreary a great pick me up soup alternative is dumplings and broth. There are variations of this from different cultures and regions. Dumplings can be made from pasta, wonton wrappers, rice paper, etc. with stuffing versions varying from vegetarian, pork, or other meat mixtures. I enjoy making my own when time permits but a good store bought variety is welcoming as well. Pair it with your favorite homemade broth (beef, chicken, pork, etc) for a great comfort food dish. I like to add a favorite soy sauce, chili oil, ginger, & fresh cilantro to dress it up a bit. What would you add?
Steak Salad
A great way to use leftover steak (lol, right) is to pair with your favorite greens & salad accompaniments for a great lunch the day after. Here i have precut & lightly warmed t-bone meat and paired it with Arugula, goat cheese, fall spiced pecans, cucumbers, & balsamic vinegar. Caesar salad is another great base to start with. Have fun mixing & matching tour favorite ingredients!

Butternut Squash
Squash season is simply one of my favorites. It brings me back to my mother baking halved & cleaned acorn squash with butter, cinnamon, brown sugar, & marshmallows. Butternut squash is very versatile as well. Wether a creamy rich decadent soup, rissotto, or ragu with mushrooms it always warms the heart & soul. Here we did homemade ravioli with brown butter, fresh sage, & pecans and kicked it up a notch by adding a U10 scallop with preserved lemon.

Prosciutto wrapped Monkfish with Preserved Lemon, Fried Capers, & Brown Butter
Caught up to one of my favorite fish recently on sale. Monkfish is beautifully flakey, holds up better than halibut and do stronger flavor notes with it. Here I wrapped it with prosciutto and seared then basted with rich tasting Kerrygold brown butter flavored with julienne of preserved lemon & fried capers. Greats sides for this can range from simple broccoli or green beans to broccollini or rapini.
