There are 3 new posts in "Simply Recipes" Peanut Butter and Honey Granola Bars
One of my favorite things to eat as a kid was an open-faced peanut-butter and honey sandwich. These days I don't even need the bread. Just a large spoonful of peanut butter, a glob of honey, a little stir in a bowl, and I'm good. Given how much I love the flavor combination, I thought I would try my hand at making some granola bars with these favorites. A little oatmeal, a little butter, a little peanut butter, a little honey, a 350° oven, and presto, hey these are good! I've been eating a couple bars for breakfast every morning and a couple for afternoon snacks. Who knew? Easy. Continue reading "Peanut Butter and Honey Granola Bars" »
 Braised Rabbit with Prunes
Have you ever made the Silver Palate 80's classic, Chicken Marbella? It's chicken cooked with prunes and olives. It's amazing how the sweet prunes just melt into the chicken drippings. Prunes are an underutilized ingredient in my opinion. They've gotten such a bad rap that they aren't even marketed as prunes anymore, but as dried plums, which is, in fact, what they are. Just dried plums. Like big fat raisins. Used in cooking, they can bring a deeply sweetly rich note to anything, especially meats. Rabbit cooked with prunes is a classic French dish, known there as "lapin aux pruneaux". In this version we sear the rabbit pieces first in a little olive oil and butter, and then braise them in white wine with shallots, garlic, thyme, and prunes. Have you ever prepared rabbit? It's a lot like chicken, both in the cooking and in the eating. In fact almost any recipe that can be made with chicken can be made with rabbit, and vice versa. The taste is just more subtle, and not "chicken-y". Continue reading "Braised Rabbit with Prunes" »
Spanish Roasted Potatoes with Tomato Sauce
Called papas bravas or patatas bravas in Spain, this dish is essentially potatoes cooked in a spicy sauce and served as an appetizer, or tapas. Variations abound in both the cooking method—the potatoes are fried, boiled our roasted—and the sauce, which usually has hot chiles, tomato and vinegar. The name of the recipe roughly translates into "fierce" or "angry" potatoes. But these potatoes are as spicy or "fierce" as you make them. We've made ours with some tomato sauce, quite a bit of Tabasco, and some smoked paprika. The potatoes absorb a lot of heat, so they're not as hot as you would think, given the amount of hot sauce. You can easily reduce the heat to taste. The smoked paprika called for in the recipe really helps these potatoes shine, but sometimes it can be hard to find. McCormick makes smoked paprika, so you may be able to find it at your local supermarket. If not, just substitute regular paprika (sweet).
