Mango Salsa

Mango Salsa

As a topping to the kalua pork, we came up with the idea to throw together a quick mango salsa.  It seemed Hawaiian-esqu enough and also, mangoes were on sale at Whole Foods.  Why not put them together right?

Typically, I tend to be be a bit heavy handed when spicing things.  What can I say, I really enjoy bold flavors.  This recipe however is actually very well balanced.  You really only need a tablespoon or two of the lime juice and the zest goes a long way in it.  Similarly, with the jalapeno, you might want to rib it before you mince it up. It all depends on your preference.  I also love the trader joe’s orange vinegar for another citrus flavor.

Bonus points, it’s vegan.

Guest Post – Portuguese Style Crab Cake

Guest Post – Portuguese Style Crab Cake

For today’s post, I’m featuring a recipe from one of my best friends Sergio.  I’m fortunate to have two life long friends (one from kindergarten and one from 2nd grade) and I’m really happy that they both love food and cooking.  Sergio has had a long history of being around great food and he’s decided to share one of his house-made dishes.  This dish was both fun to make and turned out to be delicious.  It’s clear that this guy knows what’s up in the kitchen.

As Memorial Day is here and the Summer is upon us, to me it’s all about spending time with family and friends. Beaches, Bubbly, and BarBeQues!!  The best memories are down the shore (if you’re from Jersey) and having some of the best fresh seafood. That brings me to my first recipe post. The Portuguese Style Crab Cake. There really isn’t anything Portuguese about it other than a Portuguese guy made the dish and it’s delicious. So enjoy!!  And special thanks to Vinny and the Zen n Potatoes crew for having me as a special guest and for all the wonderful photos.

Spicy Mango Soba

Spicy Mango Soba

The inspiration for this dish comes from two sources:

1. The desire to beat the heat–currently experiencing 100° days in Philly–with a light & refreshing soba dish;

2. The M.I.A. song “Sunshowers.”

This turned out to be ridiculous. Get at it.
