  • Spinach, Egg, & Goat Cheese Crêpes by Rebecca Boyd

    Spinach, Egg, & Goat Cheese Crêpes by Rebecca Boyd
    Dec 31 2021
    Classic Breton crêpes are made with nutty buckwheat flour and, in this recipe, are filled with a simple, vegetarian combo of spinach, goat cheese, and eggs. Emily offers a few options both to serve in and after this delicious dish, while Caroline extols the virtues of a white wine that couldn't be happier with chèvre.


    Spinach, egg, & goat cheese crêpes recipe:

    2 eggs
    Goat cheese
    1/2 cup Buckwheat flour
    Water
    Salt to taste
    1 to 2 cups of spinach to cook


    Olive oil or butter for the pan
    Add water and a dash of salt to the flour until it has a pancake like batter
    Heat the pan and pour the batter to create the crepes/pancakes
    Wait until there are bubbles/holes and flip to the other side
    Once all crepes are made, cook the eggs sunny side up and the spinach
    Place the eggs and spinach on top of the crepe and then add goat cheese to your liking
    Salt and pepper to taste et voilà !

  • Salmon with Miso Tahini Sauce with Christy Velasquez

    Salmon with Miso Tahini Sauce with Christy Velasquez
    Dec 24 2021
    Salmon with Miso Tahini Sauce served with Cucumber and Carrot Salad and Sushi Rice with Christy Velasquez

    The Asian influences in this salmon with miso, sesame, and rich tahini pave the way for some pretty interesting pairings. Caroline deviates from the default of most Western sommeliers for a new, intriguing wine selection, while Emily chooses a cheese with a surprising plant-based heart.


    Cucumber and Carrot Salad:
    4 large cucumbers thinly sliced
    1 cup shredded carrots
    2 tbsp rice vinegar
    1 tbsp sugar
    Pinch of salt

    Miso Sauce:
    1 tbsp white miso
    2 tbsp tahini
    1 tbsp soy sauce
    ½ tbsp sesame oil
    1/2 tsp ginger
    ½ tsp garlic
    ½ tbsp black and white sesame seeds

    Sushi Rice:
    1 cup sushi rice
    1 tbsp rice vinegar

    4 salmon fillets
    2 tbsp canola oil

    In a medium-size pot over medium heat, boil water and cook the sushi rice. Once the sushi rice has cooked, drain and strain the excess water and drizzle the rice with rice vinegar and mix.

    Cucumber Salad:
    In a small bowl, mix the sliced cucumbers, shredded carrots, rice vinegar, sugar, and salt and set aside.

    Miso Tahini Sauce:
    In a small bowl, mix the white miso, tahini, soy sauce, and sesame oil.

    In a medium size saute pan add the canola oil and once hot, add the salmon skin side down and cook for about 5 minutes and gently flip the same and sear the other side for about 3-4 minutes or until cooked through.

  • Pasta e Fagioli with Joanna Ferrell

    Pasta e Fagioli with Joanna Ferrell
    Dec 17 2021
    Joanna Ferrell's comfort food pasta e fagioli is rich and flavorful – and it demands just as much oompf from this week's pairings. Both Emily and Caroline are taking their inspiration from Italy, albeit with choices even Italophiles may not yet have encountered.

    Recipe:
    2 medium yellow onions, diced small
    4 stalks celery, diced small
    4 carrots, diced small
    3 tbsp tomato paste
    2 cans cannellini beans, drained/rinsed
    2 cloves garlic, pressed
    6-8 cups chicken stock
    1 cup uncooked small pasta (small shells/ditalini)
    Salt and pepper to taste
    Olive oil

    In a soup pot, heat olive oil over medium heat (2 tbsp, give or take) add onions, celery and carrots (generously season with salt and pepper), sautéing until onions are translucent, add garlic, cooking for another minute. Stir in tomato paste, cook for another minute. Add drained cannellini beans, stirring carefully until all ingredients are combined. Add chicken stock, and bring to boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente, (or cook pasta separately, boiling soup for 12 minutes, adding pasta when ready to serve). Serve with grated Pecorino Romano (aged at least 9 months), or a 24-36 month Parmigiano Reggiano.
