New Year Sea Bass Salad

Sun, 16 Feb 2003 20:01:06 -0500

Don't misss out on this one! Being in a dilema one day with some sea bass that I needed to cook, but would not be eating the same day, I steamed it with some thyme, refrigerated it and then used it the next day in this recipe in place of the raw fish and just feel in love with the cold salad! In as much as we love sushi and sashimi, I will try it with the raw fish as well. I will also try it with cooked shrimp, scallops, lobster, etc. It has so many possibilites and is so low-cal, with an Oriental flair in the dressing. This recipe came from www.fishingworks.com. -- posted by Tweeky

Pina Colada Marinated Watermelon-Pineapple Salad

Thu, 05 Jun 2003 20:00:40 -0400

I made this up this weekend (Memorial Day weekend) because I was in the mood for experimentation, using my newly acquired extract collection, and for the taste of pina coladas. Feel free to adjust extracts to taste or even use the real things in the appropriate substitution amounts ;) I'm sure you can skip straight to step 7 if you wish; omitting the 3 cups water and first listed extract amounts. *Maybe try freezing it and bleding into a smoothie later or making sorbet (not a bad idea...) -- posted by nomnom

Simple Watermelon Salsa

Wed, 13 Aug 2003 20:00:13 -0400

I had a small portion of a Yellow Globe left, but didn't feel like having any more straight watermelon. This was the perfect way to finish it off- sweet and hot in the perfect combination. I served it as part of an appetizer with smoked sausages, habanero cheese, and crackers- but this would also be very nice on fish, or a variety of grilled meats. Cook time is sitting time. -- posted by s'kat

This dish is always a hit with our guests both as an appetizer or as the entree. It's mild so if you want to spice it up, go for it. I like to use honeydew but by all means use your favorite.

This dish is so easy and so good. It can be served warm or at room temperature. It can be made ahead, refrigerated, and then brought to room temperature before serving. It's a lovely appetizer or it can be served as a main dish. The grilling of the melon and the pepper can be omitted, but the carmelization that happens in the grilling really adds a dimension to the flavor. -- posted by Chef Kate

Sure to make your picnic a LOT more interesting or the Hempstead, TX Watermelon Festival! Here are three ways to achieve this dastardly deed.

Minty Fresh French Aperitif and Appetiser Charentais Melon Bowls

Tue, 05 Aug 2008 01:47:13 -0400

An appetiser and aperitif all in one sunny melon bowl - I use the local Pineau des Charentes to fill up these charentais melon starters, but white port, fino sherry or any fortified wine would be just as good. Charentais melons are grown mainly in SW France and Spain and have a smooth pale green to creamy yellow skin. The very juicy flesh is deep orange in colour and it is one of the best dessert melons; they are also great in fruit salads, as well as being used as a refreshing starter course - as in this recipe. Preparation time includes the 4 hours to chill prior to serving them. If you cannot get fresh mint sprigs - use any attractive, edible leaves or herbs - maybe even a flower. -- posted by French Tart
