Hey and “pleased” Monday! I’m filling in for Melissa immediately, so it feels solely proper to kick issues off along with her new recipe for creamy fish with mushrooms and bacon.
Pardon the Stefon-ism, however this recipe has all of it: gentle, white-fleshed fish (good for the fishy-fish averse); canned tomatoes (the pantry M.V.P.); mushrooms and bacon so as to add umami oomph; and crème fraîche (or heavy cream) to make every little thing a bit lush. I’ll let Betsy, a reader, take it from right here: “Y’all!!! This recipe slaps! So good! Really easy! So scrumptious! Sauce is so creamy and superb. Can be good on any/every little thing! Can’t wait to make this once more!”

I as soon as tousled a grocery supply order, and what was speculated to be three jalapeños arrived as three massive plastic clamshells of jalapeños. My intuition — and blanket answer — to “simply throw it within the freezer” turned out to be one: The peppers froze nicely, and now I at all times have jalapeños available to cut as wanted for recipes, like this new jalapeño-orange pork tenderloin with snap peas from Ali Slagle. I may additionally add some slices together with the vinegar, garlic and butter in Step 6 of Yasmin Fahr’s honey-garlic rooster; we’re certainly a hot-honey home.
There’s a gaggle of recipes right here at New York Occasions Cooking that I fondly name “Will it bean?” recipes. The reply is at all times sure: Buffalo beans, pizza beans, beans alla vodka, beans au vin. The most recent and equally profitable entry into this pleased group is Carolina Gelen’s recipe for garlicky Alfredo beans, that are simply what you suppose they’re. Serve with delicate breadsticks and a crunchy iceberg salad for beautiful Olive Backyard vibes.
Not beany, but in addition comforting and vegetarian: Kay Chun’s spring vegetable japchae, which tosses Korean glass (or candy potato) noodles with all issues colourful and crunchy. Because the noodles are wheat-free, this can be a nice dish for anybody avoiding gluten, and because the dish is scrumptious at room temperature, it’s an excellent choice for anybody hoping to keep away from a tragic desk lunch.
I’ll finish with one other mistake-turned-marvelous scenario: I as soon as misremembered the time I used to be assembly pals for dinner and arrived hours earlier than our reservation. Already hungry, I ducked into a close-by Van Leeuwen for an affogato. It was type of a superb transfer; the ice cream cured my hanger, and the espresso gave me the perkiness I wanted to final by way of dinner (and giggle off my error). Might I’ve eaten a granola bar or child carrots as a substitute? Positive. However then I wouldn’t have had an affogato.
Thanks for studying! Melissa is again with us on Wednesday, and I’ll see you on Thursday.
