Happy Sunday. Today, I have a new recipe and a few more ideas to keep you cooking this week.
Weekend Update
It’s been such a relaxing long weekend! On Thursday, I went to Philly, and on Friday, I spent the day lounging around. Yesterday, I had a delicious orange-tamarind latte, and we tried a new arepa bar near my house. We had the yuca fries with harissa aioli and a black bean arepa. Delicious!
I also went to an artist’s talk at The Walters Art Museum for their new exhibit, Loss & Luxury. It was all about how animal shells, horns, tusks, and feathers have been used in desirable decorative items, art, fashion, and the impact that has on wildlife. I found it really thought-provoking and enjoyed seeing all the pieces they curated for the exhibit!
For dinner, I made a delicious duck breast! It’s based on a recipe on my site (linked below). It’s a simple seared duck breast with lingonberry sauce. Yesterday I switched up the sauce recipe. I made it with Aleppo pepper, Dijon mustard, chicken stock, and lingonberry jam. The little bit of heat from Aleppo pepper and the sweet-tart flavor of lingonberry jam worked so beautifully with the duck. Delicious!
For now, let’s get into some recipes to keep you cooking this week.
