This is pretty much the same as a big batch of homemade spaghetti only you’re substituting squid for the traditional ground beef and adding the flavorful kalamata olives and white wine.  Super healthy, makes excellent leftovers, and it’s fairly easy to make!  I like to get the pitted kalamata olives from the olive bar at Top Foods.½ yellow onion, chopped 4 cloves garlic, minced 1/3 pound sliced mushrooms 2 T olive oil 2 cans diced tomatoes 1 tiny can tomato paste 1 cup white wine 1 pound sliced squid tubes and tentac.

Hello Everyone!  Happy end of February – how many days until the Farmer’s Market opens??  We’re starting the countdown at 36 today!   We’re featuring squid this week, the creature more fancifully known as “calamari” and trying hard to ignore the snow outside.  There’s a lot that can be said about squid, so I will try hard not to write you a book on the subject.  Any way you slice it, they are a great source of lean protein, inexpensive, and so mild in flavor (read: easy to like) that they mostly.

There’s really nothing better to do with fresh wild king salmon than toss it on the grill with a little salt and lemon.  Writing up a recipe like that seems a little underwhelming, so I’m including one of our favorite slightly more complicated salmon preperations.  Don’t let me talk you out of the salt, lemon and heat though, if you’re leaning that way.  You really can’t go wrong!     12 to 16 oz fresh salmon, skin off ½ medium onion, chopped 3 cloves garlic, chopped 2T olive oil ½ cup cream Several sp.

Oysters on the Grill   Okay I might have fibbed when I said previously that I’d offer tips on getting your oysters to pop.  After doing quite a bit of research, years of practical experience, and asking some very knowledgeable people… there doesn’t seem to be a “trick” or rhyme or reason why some oysters cooked on the grill very nicely pop open for you and others remain stubbornly closed.  (But whatever you do, for goodness sake don’t throw away the ones that stay shut.. .they just need a little .

 Salmon on the Grill   There’s probably a thousand ways to cook salmon on the grill, so if you have a method that you’re comfortable with… go with that.  For those of you who might be less familiar with grilling salmon, here’s a simple easy way to get that perfect preparation! 1. Oil.  You’re going to want to oil both your grill AND your salmon.  We take a double layer of paper towels, pour a little vegetable oil on one side, and wipe down the grill.  Then smooth a little oil on both the skin side a.

Fish Tacos   I must admit, I’m a little leery writing about fish tacos.  There seems to be an almost Underground movement of fanatic fish taco braggadocios, who might just come to get me with pitchforks and flames if I get this wrong.  There is a certain school of thought that says ONLY a fried fish taco is a “real” fish taco, then there’s the whole Thrill of the Grill crowd.  Being the opportunistic eater that I am, I’ve always thought the best fish taco is the one that’s currently in front of .
