It’s Savory Saturday

May 21, 2011 2 Comments

Oh, my gosh!  I just had a great dinner that was made by my amazing husband.

Tuna & Goat Cheese Empanadillas

These amazing little empanadillas were quite tasty!  Inside the puff pastry was canned tuna, green olives and pine nuts, amongst other ingredients.  They had a creamy richness to them, which the pine nuts complimented very well.  The green olives and tuna had a very distinct flavor, and each bite I took, a flavor seemed to come out.  When we make these again, we’ve decided to do canned chicken instead, as we both thought the olives and tuna needed to complement one another, which these didn’t.  I give these a 6 out of 10 stars.

Duck Foie with Jamon Iberico

These were my favorite appetizer!  Oh, my gosh, they were so heavenly, that I had three of them (and we even had guests over)!  On the toasted pan rustico bread slices, were onions that simmered for two hours — the first hour in olive oil and sugar  and for the second, he added dry white wine.  The next layer was jamon iberico and then on that, was the duck foie!  I have never had anything like this!  The sweetness soft onions mixed with the salty jamon iberico, melted in my mouth and the crispy bread was toasted just enough for a nice texture throughout each bite.  I give this 12 out of 10 stars!

Spanish Style Chicken with Saffron Rice

This dinner was so very good.  The rice was very flavorful, with the canned tomatoes and yellow bell pepper, which gave off a nice and comforting flavor.  While the chicken was juicy, I prefer my chicken not as cooked as most people do.  I would definitely have this dish again, only with a little less cooking time for my piece of chicken.  I give this meal a 7 out of 10 stars.

Savory Saturday

May 21, 2011 2 Comments

This this my 100th blog, and in honor of that, I want to announce that I’ll be doing something new every Saturday.  It’s called “Savory Saturday” (my husband came up with the title), and I’ll be writing about food!  As an ex-culinary student, it’s easy to see that writing and cooking are very similar — writing and editing to create a wonderful book vs. using the perfect amount of ingredients, which creates an amazing meal.

My first blog about will be posted later tonight!  I’ll be writing about what my husband is currently making, two Tapas (one is tuna and goat cheese empanadillas and the other is duck foie with jamon iberico) and for the main course, we’re having Spanish Style Chicken with Saffron Rice.

Stay tuned for the first “Savory Saturday” post!
