Pacific Coast Salmon on the BBQ Recipe • So Tasty! | Club Foody

 

When I was single and dating, I realized that every guy had a “signature dish”. Each one of them was proud to make me taste their “creation”. The majority of the dishes that I tried (I’m not trying to be one of the judges from “Chopped”) were okay! Considering that these poor single men with no culinary background were on their own, cooking 👨‍🍳 to impress me (or other ladies) was good enough to deserve respect!
 
Most of them found ways to come up with some dishes by using prepared food. For example, one guy I was dating for almost six months was making shrimp risotto 🍤. You’d probably think that’s not too shabby. You’re right until I stood next to him watching his “cooking method”. It basically came down to: 1 box of risotto plus frozen shrimp and pre-shredded cheese (I can’t stand that kind of cheese… yuck! 🤢). The final result was fine as long as I dismissed most of the ingredients. Of course, the important thing was he made an effort to cook something for me.
 
One day, there was a very handsome man named David from British Columbia who approached me, and the connection between the two of us was unbelievable 💥! We started dating long-distance and eventually met in person in Toronto. From there, I came to visit him here in Vancouver. Like most of the men I dated before him, he had a signature dish as well, but this one was quite different from the others… it was really good! It was his Pacific Coast Salmon on the BBQ!
 
His salmon was seasoned and cooked perfectly on the barbecue 🔥. He served it with rice and steamed veggies. That was it! I was hooked! What? Who says women can’t be won over by their stomachs… lol!
 
After we moved in together, this Salmon on the BBQ recipe became one of our favorites and still is. We had Lynn and June, friends of ours from Los Angeles, over for dinner when we were vacationing in Rancho Mirage last month. Guess what was on the menu? His tasty salmon recipe!
 
Now that we have evolved as a couple and are now married 💍, I like to serve this dish with my Moroccan Couscous Salad and some fresh steamed green beans. Simple and quite fast to prepare, this Salmon on the BBQ is the perfect dish to serve, whether hosting or when you want a quick, light, and healthy meal.
Bon Appétit!🍽

Serradura • Portuguese Sawdust Pudding Recipe | Club Foody

 

Who wants to cook or bake when it’s hot, or humid outside? Certainly not me! Unless we use the barbecue 🔥 or the Instant Pot, dinners are pretty straightforward. It can be anything from salads and sandwiches to chilled soups, charcuterie boards, ceviche, and so on…
 
When it comes to baking, the same applies. I make my Fruit Salad, No-Bake Strawberry Cheesecake 🍓, Skor Banoffee Pie, Biscoff Icebox Cake, No-Churn Ice Cream, Mango Parfait, etc. Another one I enjoy making is Serradura • Portuguese Sawdust Pudding!
 
This no-bake dessert is perfect for making 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳 during the hot summer months. It’s very easy to make, requires minimal ingredients, and is quite quick to prepare. With tasty layers, this light and gorgeous pudding is ideal to serve at your dinner party, as it can be made ahead of time.
 
What gives this recipe its unorthodox name are the cookies that are processed until they resemble sawdust, which translates to ‘serradura’. It takes just a couple of minutes ⏳ at the most to achieve this texture. From there, the sawdust is used to create the layers.
 
The ingredient I prefer using when making this Serradura • Portuguese Sawdust Pudding is Maria Biscuits. Here on the Canadian West Coast 🍁, I have no problem finding them. Otherwise, switch to Social Tea Cookies.
 
Maria’s are very similar to Social Tea Cookies. The difference is Maria’s are firmer, and have a nice hint of vanilla, while their counterpart is softer with a light buttery 🧈 taste in the background. Either one works for this recipe.
 
Besides the fact that this dessert requires no baking, I also like it because it’s a blank canvas. Instead of Maria’s or Social Tea cookies, use Oreos. Lotus Biscoff cookies or Graham crackers are also another option. Add some toasted nuts 🥜 (almonds or pistachios) when processing Maria cookies in the food processor.
 
The same applies to the extract when making the whipped cream. In the video, I use vanilla, but there’s nothing stopping you from using others like rum extract, maple extract, and even orange 🍊 extract… have fun with it!
 
For the purpose of filming 🎥 and also taking pictures, my dessert dishes are very big, but when using smaller ones, like stemless wine glasses, you should have more layers in your dessert. Technically, this recipe is for 4 servings.
 
The last layer should be the cookie sawdust. After covering with cling film and chilling for 6 hours to overnight 🌛, I like to decorate mine with lightly dusted dark cocoa powder, placing a strawberry per dessert dish along with a cookie… cute and elegant!
 
This no-bake, easy dessert can be whipped up in less than 15 minutes. With alternating layers, it has a delicious contrast of textures! This Serradura • Portuguese Sawdust Pudding is a tasty recipe to make during the hot summer months… 🌞🌴
Bon Appétit! 🍽

Instant Pot Pork Carnitas Recipe • Quick Pulled Pork | Club Foody

 

Unless there’s AC in your house, we’re kind of limited when it comes to cooking, especially when the mercury rises. Of course, barbecuing 🔥 is the perfect alternative when someone owns one otherwise, using the oven is not really the ideal situation.
 
Years ago, we bought an Instant Pot. Frankly, I recently just started using it. All my girlfriends have been using one for a long, long time. With recipes scheduled ahead of time, I had to wait for an opening. The first recipe I made 👩‍🍳 using this appliance is this featured one… Instant Pot Pork Carnitas!
 
In a fraction of the time, you can enjoy this amazing Mexican pulled pork recipe! The results are just like making it traditionally in the oven or stovetop: melt-in-your-mouth 😋, crispy edges, and caramelized texture! The tasty, infused meat comes out moist, and it takes just 10 minutes under the broiler to finish it!
 
It’s quite convenient as you don’t have to heat up the kitchen, plus it gives you the opportunity to enjoy this delicious meat any time throughout the year. In an hour ⏰, this Instant Pot Pork Carnitas recipe is ready to serve, significantly cutting down on cooking time.
 
A rub is applied to the chunks of meat. It won’t coat them entirely, but as long as there’s some on each piece. After searing the chunks in oil and setting aside, the vegetables 🧅 are quickly sautéed before the rest of the ingredients go in.
 
I use Coca-Cola 🥤 because it tenderizes the meat beautifully. The mild acidity and carbonation in the soda helps to break down the tough muscle fibers. The sugar in it also caramelizes the shredded pork when finishing in the oven, plus it balances out the spices from the rub and the jalapeño peppers.
 
The chunks are returned to the inner pot, and the time is set to ‘High’ for 30 minutes!!!
I know, it’s ridiculously fast 😮! When time is up, the meat is shredded, placed on a rimmed baking sheet or baking dish, about 1/3 of the liquid left in the Instant Pot is poured over, and then it goes under the broiler for 5 minutes.
 
Five minutes later, there’s about 1 cup of reserved liquid poured over before the shredded meat is flipped over – make sure there is no darker meat facing up. It’s returned under the broiler for another 5 minutes ⏳ or until the edges of the meat start to caramelize and get crispy.
 
I like serving this pulled pork in tacos 🌮, burritos, quesadillas, enchiladas, bowls, or on nachos. Toast a few hamburger buns and stuff them with the meat before adding some BBQ sauce and topping with Bread & Butter pickles… yummy! Elevate your chilaquiles or in an omelet by using this meat.
 
In the picture, I place the meat on corn tortillas, spoon on some sour cream – I prefer crema but can’t find it here in Canada -, add thinly sliced red cabbage, a few pieces of avocado 🥑, and garnish with cilantro. It’s a bite of deliciousness!
 
To store the leftovers, place the carnitas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 days. It can also be frozen. Simply use a heavy-duty freezer bag, transfer the meat, and squeeze out as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn. It keeps for up to 3 months 📆.
 
One of Mexico’s favorites, this bold, savory Instant Pot Pork Carnitas is sure to please everyone! It’s a delightful recipe that can be used in a lot of different dishes. I’m sure this fall-apart tender meat will become a regular item on your menu 📜…
Bon Appétit! 🍽

Chilled Thai Pesto & Potato Soup Recipe • So Tasty! | Club Foody

 

Each summer, we can all feel the repercussions of global warming. The glaciers are melting at a dangerous speed, rising sea levels, and the impact of extreme weather is increasing droughts, wildfires 🔥, and floods around the world.
 
When I was a young adult, the temperatures of my summers were more bearable 😎 than they are now. Of course, we had the odd time when it went above 30°C/86°F, but not as often as we’ve been encountering over the last 8 years.
 
Unless there’s AC in your home, most of us don’t feel like eating anything hot when the temperature rises above our comfort zone. Besides sandwiches 🥪, salads, or going out for dinner in a climatized room, there’s a type of food David and I enjoy a lot… soups! Obviously, I mean chilled soups!
 
I’ve posted almost a dozen of these soups over the years, and here’s another one to add to the list… my Chilled Thai Pesto & Potato Soup! Extremely flavorful, this one-pot recipe 🥘 is so easy to make. It has a gorgeous combination of fresh ingredients, making this soup both very tasty and also healthy!
 
I like to start very early in the morning when the temperature is comfortable and make my soup. It takes me 10 minutes to prepare 🔪 my ingredients and about half an hour to cook. Then I transfer it to a large bowl, let it cool to room temperature before chilling it for a good 6 hours.
 
First, the shallots, garlic 🧄, and ginger are sautéed in oil. Afterward, I add my potato cubes and pour in some low-sodium vegetable broth. If I don’t have this broth, I use chicken; they’re both interchangeable. The same goes for the shallots; if there aren’t any around, I opt for red onions.
 
When it comes to potatoes 🥔, I use Yukon Gold. Their starch level is medium, which prevents the mixture from getting a cloudy and gluey texture. I also like their buttery flavor, and when the mixture is blended into a smooth consistency, their tiny microscopic particles mimic heavy cream, giving that silky result.
 
In the making of this Chilled Thai Pesto & Potato Soup, there’s a special ingredient that goes in… my Thai Pesto. It has a beautiful mix of components, making this condiment extremely delectable. Here’s the link to get it… Pesto 8 Ways – Part Two
 
Just before blending the soup until very smooth, dried basil leaves and lime juice join the party. Adding these two at the end preserves the aroma on top of preventing the acid from turning bitter. If you decide to add fresh basil instead of dried, use ½ tablespoon 🥄.
 
Using an immersion blender, the mixture is then processed until very smooth. If you don’t own this kitchen tool, simply use a blender and work in batches, placing a dishtowel on the lid to prevent from burning 🤕 yourself.
 
The soup is brought to room temperature, then covered before being transferred to the fridge for at least 6 hours. I prefer overnight 🌛 for a couple of reasons. It helps the flavors to blend further, plus it reaches maximum chill! If there are leftovers, return the soup to the refrigerator.
 
Refreshing, rich, and velvety, this flavorful Chilled Thai Pesto & Potato Soup is a must on those hot summer days! It’s a healthy bowl loaded with deliciousness 💚. Served with crusty bread, this is a satisfying meal you can enjoy as an appetizer or as a light meal…
Bon Appétit! 🍽

Moroccan Beef Patties Recipe • Tasty BBQ! | Club Foody

 

After more than 10 years, you should know that I’m all about flavor; the tastier it is, the better the food is, and the more I enjoy it. You won’t see me posting anything that I dislike or find utterly boring 🥱. When my created recipes have my stamp of approval, they can join the others on the website…
 
Summer is my favorite season! It’s nice and warm (I hate freezing, and it gets worse as I’m getting older), I’m physically more active, we enjoy taking weekly road trips 🚗, I relax regularly by sitting outside on the patio, and for the most part, I love barbecuing.
 
There are almost 100 recipes on the site 💻, and they just keep coming. Among all of them, here’s another one that we enjoy making… my Moroccan Beef Patties! These little guys are loaded with serious flavor! It’s an elevated version of regular beef patties…
 
What I like about this recipe is that it can be served as is with lemon couscous, pita, and chermoula, which the recipe is coming out next month. It can also be turned into burgers, with all your favorite toppings alongside French fries 🍟.
 
When making the Moroccan Beef Patties, or any other similar recipes, the ingredients must be chopped 🔪 finely to mix appropriately with the meat and bind better together – the finer, the better! Not only will they cook evenly, but the flavor will also be distributed properly.
 
I often mention that recipes can be adapted to your liking, but to keep that tasty African profile, this one should be followed as is. One ingredient that makes a delicious impact on the meat mixture is Ras el Hanout. It can be bought at your supermarket 🛒 or made from scratch, and here’s the link… Ras el Hanout Spice Blend.
 
Meat patties should always be mixed by hand. It provides better control when blending the ingredients and spreads them evenly. It also prevents overworking the mixture. I use my bare hands, but if you’re a germaphobe, wear gloves 🧤.
 
I like to chill the patties for 2 hours ⏰ but no more than 6 hours. If you’re short on time, half an hour should be sufficient. When it’s time to grill them, let the patties sit out on the counter for 15 minutes. This helps cook them evenly while maintaining their shape.
 
We like to bring the BBQ temperature between 450°F and 500°F 🔥. These beef patties are over a quarter pound, so they take a little longer. We like ours medium-rare, and it usually takes anywhere from 3 to 4 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reads 160°F/71°C.
 
These tasty and juicy Moroccan Beef Patties are incredibly delightful! With an exquisite flavor, they can be served as is or as burgers 🍔. Being an upgraded version of everyday patties, enjoy their bold and aromatic flavor at your next backyard party…
Bon Appétit! 🍽
