Scallops with Nori Butter and Dill

The two main features in this recipe, the scallops and the nori, Nori enhances the sweetness of the scallops. Make sure to present the entree in a way where the scallops cannot be eaten without the nori. Ignore any complaints about eating green food! … and what ever you do, don’t tell them it’s healthy. Note: I used Smart Balance Healthy Blend plus a little olive oil to replace the butter. 3 toasted nori sheets 1/2 cup unsalted butter - or substitute with your favorite healthier alternative to butter 1 1/2 TBS of chopped fresh dill salt to taste 1 [...]

A Wrapper Challenge

Last night we had dinner with friends. What fun! The conversation was terrific, the jokes flew (as always), the food and wine was more that satisfying.

It's commonly used as a wrap for sushi. I took some rice, drizzled a little agave on it, mixed it with sliced cucumber, radish, red pepper, spread a little red chile pepper hummus on it and topped it w/ salmon and a squirt of lemon. It didn't [...]

Sourdough

It was a pretty relaxing day today with the satisfaction of accomplishing everything we wanted. I made the sourdough bread for my stuffing.

I'm going to investigate some alternatives using Nori. i don't want to use it to wrap the rice and sushi in - the traditional manner. I'd like to do something different with it so I'm going to do some surfing. If anyone has any suggestions - please send them along. Have a [...]
