'KITCHEN CABINET' RECIPES

KITCHEN CABINET RECIPES 

 I can’t believe it has been a full year since I have added a recipe here.  I initially started this blog last year to take over for the printed family cookbook that I and the family have been adding to for 10+ years. I also wanted to try to get some of this paper clutter under control, as I am constantly ripping recipes out of magazines and jotting down notes and hints on little pieces of paper.   We are currently in the process of having our kitchen cabinets refaced, consequently I had to empty the contents completely including all my little pieces of paper stuck among the spice jars and taped onto the inside cabinet doors—hence the title of “Kitchen Cabinet Recipes”.

First up easy, fast FLANK STEAK MARINADE:

1/3 cup olive oil]
1/3 cup soy sauce
Juice of 2 lemons
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Red pepper flakes, salt and pepper to taste

Put all ingredients in a zip-lock bag, squeeze to distribute flavors and place the steak inside.  Marinade for at least 4 hours.

Taped to the inside of my condiment cabinet is this easy salad dressing.  I hardly ever buy store made dressings anymore.

SIMPLE VINAIGRETTE

Olive Oil – 3 part
Vinegar – 1 part
Shallot, minced
Dijon mustard
Chives, chopped
Parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper

No quantities listed here except the olive oil/ vinegar ratio.  The rest is dictated by common sense and tastebuds.

We don’t often fry food, but when I’m craving something fried, fish is probably the safest choice
