Recipe/Usage Suggestion:

The Thanksgiving Leftovers Cubano

Sometimes an herb-infused salt is born from a whimsical spark of a recipe not-yet-born. Think of this as a deliberately robust, pungent herbal salt version of a deconstructed Cuban sandwich nestled with future Thanksgiving leftovers and a rather large patch of succulent Cuban oregano plants. Maldon salt is drenched in zesty, sharp, bright yellow deli-style mustard and acidic, briny dill pickle juice. Mint, thyme, and oregano-flavors mix with an oozing blanket of Cuban oregano oil. This all mingles with the bright, fresh, grassy, and citrusy characters of lemon verbena, mint, parsley, and chives. Fruitier sage varieties contribute sweet and earthy characteristics while white sage offers extra pungency, smudging away any blandness. A leftover turkey Cubano sandwich is a must for this herb salt, but any sandwich will do. It’s equally excellent on salads, in vinaigrettes, or sprinkled on hard-boiled eggs. Channel your own whimsy for this one.

I have used herbs in my pies since I was in my ear

I have used herbs in my pies since I was in my early twenties. I believe my first herb-pie combo was apple-rosemary and, surely, I got the idea from @marthastewart48 . She was one of few cooking “idols” I looked to for ideas, back then and now. For many of us who consider ourselves creative home cooks, she was one of the original sources of inspiration- the influencer of all culinary influencers really.

I never had much interest in pies until I started to herbalize them. The common way to cook fruit pie seems to take the flavor and freshness out of the apple, pears, and other fruits. To me, this means that most just taste one dimensional, sweet and a little bland. I’m not a one-dimensional cook, and the idea of making something sweet just for the sake of it seems like a waste of time. What interests me is making pies with some depth and the appearance of some secret flavors laced in. When I make pies, I like to coax out not just the freshness and flavors of seasonal ingredients but, also, the textures and nuances of initial and finishing aromas and flavor essences. Herbs and spices help me do just this.

Bergamot Geranium Szechuan Pepper Plum Sherbet It

Bergamot Geranium Szechuan Pepper Plum Sherbet

It’s plum season. I love plums. The signal that summer is coming to and end. They tell us to be ready for change, and yet they summer us to remember it’s still summer.

I love all kinds of plums. As a little girl growing up in California I are a lot of plums. I think plums used to be way more popular than peaches and nectarines.

The plout thing pushes us away from so many delicious plum. I like plouts but I love plums.

I cook with plums a lot in sweet and savory dishes. But several years back a friend gifted me with beautiful red plums from there tree and I made a sherbet that I will never forget. I know I’m normally against shebet and sherbets and fruit ices of any kind because I adore ice cream but this recipe borders on too much cream for a shebet anyhow.

What is shebet?

Originally it was a cold drink made
with diluted and sweetened fruit juice. It’s Persian and Turkish in origin and eventually when it made its way to the US, they added milk or cream and froze it into an ice cream like mixture. Basically fruit juice is used as a sweetener and flavor agent in an ice milk concoction.

My recipe roasts the fruit and then blends it with water and heavy cream, but milk can also be used. I like the heavy cream because it yields a richer consistency. By law (yes, there are laws for what you can call sherbet), it can only have so much butter fat. Mine probably crosses that limit teetering into ice cream but I’m not selling it so who cares!

The result is a sensual sweet-tart tingle of the tongue. Recipe link in story.

When it’s scorching hot out (as it has been here) and you’ve already taken 3 showers trying to cool off, a cold noodle salad with mangoes, avocadoes and loads of herbs is needed. #recipe in story

I veered from the recipe and made Korean bbq short ribs with the noodle salad.

Culantro
It withstands heat better (not really) than cilantro. For me it’s a good option because cilantro bolts so quickly I never have it in the summer. Culantro taste very similar to cilantro. It’s citrusy, earthy and very bright.

It has spiked stems and leaves so it’s not for everyone. I love it. Most only eat the leaves but the spiky stems and flowers have a very robust taste, more reminiscent of cilantro than the just the leaves.

I’m using it in a fresh Serrano pesto like sauce for some squash blossom zucchini quesadillas on the flattop.

Lemon cucumbers and quick scented geranium salt and pepper mix. This tastes like summer to me. Scented geraniums are edible the flowers are tart and floral and lovely to use in summer fare. The leaves are hyper potent- intense so I use those carefully - but I love them blended with blueberries and lemon for drinks
