This is one delicious, flavorful super easy appetizer. A spicy, slightly sweet, piping hot prelude to any Italian dish! Serve in a large bowl alongside fresh soft absorbent breads. Just tear your warm breads, dip em' thick in your sauce and devour it! Serve communal style or, in individual bowls. Either way, the choice is all yours. Enjoy! 😆

This is a keeper. Made it tonight. Took me an hour to peel the garlic, I gotta find the pre-peeled variety for sure. I actually used my Vitamix to hurry it up. So Delish.

I adore the fact that my 7 and 8 year old culinary students are so adventurous! Today my 7 year olds wanted to try their hands at making a bone marrow and parsley appetizer with crostinies for their parents dinner this evening, as well as themselves.Their results were incredible! Great work kiddos! These were SO rich and SO delectable! Know that the easy lemon parsley salad you create is much needed and will cut the richness of the marrow by half. This is absolutely a death row meal of mine. This is also a definite, "must try once," recipe!

Mike's Grilled Skewered Asian Chicken Yakitori Appetizers Mike's Grilled Skewered Asian Chicken Yakitori Appetizers

So simple, so juicy, so delicious!Yakitori literally means, "grilled chicken." But, also refers to any skewered foods in general. Yakitori is also made with bite sized pieces of chicken meat, chicken skin, chicken offal - like chicken livers, cartilage or gizzards. Or, other meats and vegetables skewered on soaked bamboo scewers. AKA, "Kushi." It's also always grilled over binchōtan charcoal.Unfortunately, my small Yakatori Grill is currently being refurbished and my students were forced to cook them on my gas grill this evening. Just know that binchōtan charcoal under a traditional Yakitori Grill absolutely makes this dish flavor wise. You can find all of these ingredients, including the grill, at your local Asian market.

I wanted to recreate the dish I had at a certain famous Spanish restaurant.You don't need the anchovy, but it does make the dish more delicious.To pre-treat frozen shrimp, bring salted water to a boil in a pan, put in the shrimp, and drain after 10 seconds. Pat dry. This way they won't smell fishy and will be tastier. Don't overcook. For 2 servings. Recipe by mimiphone
