Unbelievably delicious and comforting Spicy Meatball & Gnocchi Soup. Tomato base soup made with homemade gnocchi, meatballs and added heat from red pepper flakes and cayenne.
Corn is grilled and seasoned with green onions and cayenne sauce in these tasty spiced flapjacks. The grilled corn fritters make an ideal base to this salad stacked with alternating layers of tomato slices and arugula dressed in a red wine vinaigrette.
The chicken is tender and flavorful from simmering for hours in the sauce, and the sauce itself has a lovely balance of sweet and savory instead of the near-cloying sweetness you might be used to.
These succulent two-bite crab cakes are excellent as an appetizer with the pepper sauce passed on the side or, for cocktail parties, give each one a small dollop of the sauce just before serving. You can fry them up to 2 days ahead and refrigerate between layers of waxed paper; reheat in a 200
Kids everywhere will eat their zucchini! In my pre-vegan, pre-health fanatic days, I loved ordering fried mozzarella sticks as an appetizer... now these baked zucchini sticks hit the spot! I've included a dipping sauce recipe (roasted red pepper sauce) but feel free to use your favorite marinara.
