trials, tribulations and debacles in the kitchen

Success~ 2 day streak

Posted by on Aug 23, 2010 in Dinner, Recipes | 0 comments

Two nights in a row, now I have managed to produce some wonderfully delicious flavors.  Most of that I will credit to the product.  It is amazing how much better things taste now that I get them from the farmer’s market.  I will admit, I initially steered clear of the good-ol’ fm in fear of horribly gouged prices hijacking the organic label.  I was pleasantly surprised.  My grocery bill has been cut by, at least, $40 a week.

On to the dinner.  Seared Steak with Tomato-Caper Relish . I bypassed the suggested spices and used my Montreal Steak Seasoning that I think has the perfect blend of spices.  The tomatoes were a beautiful orange.  They almost look like mangoes in the picture.

The only changes I made to the original recipe were:  (1) I passed on the jalapenos.  I felt like capers and jalapenos don’t really go together, especially with tomato and olive flavors.  I am not a professional, but even my amateur palate know better.  And (2) the Chef and I were in desperate need of a sourdough baguette for the juices.  After tasting the relish, I was searching high and low for something to mop it up and eat it, but simple sandwich bread seemed like a foodie faux pas.
