A nutty crust brings tilapia up to a new level and is especially lovely paired with most any fall side dishes. It is perfect solo or with a tangy sweet sauce. The crusted fish comes together quickly as soon as the pecans are chopped and bakes at a high temperature until golden, rather then pan searing. Make it gluten free with brown-rice flour and gluten free breadcrumbs. Save time by using pecan meal if you can find it, almond or hazelnut meal can work as well.
I know what you are probably thinking- crackers? How painfully tedious when there are so many perfectly fine crackers out there. I agree. But, then I made these and between the ease and tastiness- I am now a bit cracker crazy. It was super simple: Blend. Mix. Roll out. Cut. Bake.
Clean up was even faster. Try them. You might become a bit cracker crazy too. A rolling pin and parchment paper will make life a tad easier.
New York strip steak is crusted with coarsely ground spicy peppercorns and seared to perfection. Most of the time we end up sharing a steak between two people, since about 3-6 ounces is a reasonable serving. If New York strip is unavailable ask for the closest substitute, such as rib eye, porterhouse, even tenderloin or filet mignon. Purchase whole or coarsely ground black peppercorns.
The soft Hachiya Persimmon is only edible when it is soft and the innards are almost liquid in texture. They have a tip, rather than the firmer variety that has a flat bottom. Peel and chop or blend this to a pulp to be whipped in with the cream. This is yummy enough to eat by itself, but is extra special dolloped on pancakes, waffles or pumpkin custards.
Homemade pesto is an amazing, yet simple luxury. Have a mortar & pestle? Roll up those sleeves and pound some love into this garlic-basil-olive oil sauciness. Have a food processor? Pulse, pulse and you are done. We use lemon to brighten the flavor and retain color. Make this vegan by substituting more nuts for the cheese. If you can’t find or afford pricy pine nuts, I love my pesto with walnuts, pistachios, almonds or even pecans.
