Balsamic Green Beans

 

 

For this dish, I basically used the recipe from Lemons for Lulu but made some modifications according to what I had on hand - substituted basil for rosemary and canadian bacon for pancetta.  For their original recipe, visit their website.

Toated Shishito Peppers, Calamari, and Onion Rings

 

I was craving calamari and wanted to conduct an experiment to cook some.  Since I was making fried calamari, I decided to also make onion rings.  Shishito peppers just happened to catch my eye while grocery shopping, so that was the vegetable of the night.  I toasted them in the toaster oven, easy peasy. It was a pupu kind of night.

Ingredients:

• Shishito peppers

Instructions:

1. Rinse peppers.
2. Spread out in a single layer on pan.
3. Toast for 10-15 minutes, until skin is slightly blistered.
4. Serve immediately with sauce of choice. (I made a garlic aioli dip).
5. Enjoy!
