What Is Garnish In Cooking? - Yahoo Recipe Search
Food52I understand that anchovies are a controversial choice of fish and a vast majority of people find them polarizing, but cooked properly, their flavour is unrivalled. These spicy fried anchovies are the ultimate side dish in South India (fried in coconut oil in Kerala and either groundnut or other flavourless oil in Tamil Nadu and other states). This Keralan version is what I prefer, and for me, the flavour of coconut oil makes the dish. This is what one would call nose-to-tail eating: you fry the whole fish, head-to-tail, with the tiny bones and everything. Anchovies—due to their diminutive size—have small bones that crisp up really well when fried. The anchovies are marinated for several hours or overnight (preferably, but don’t fret if you don’t have the time; they can be used right away too) and then dusted in a semolina-rice flour coating before being fried. Using semolina is a neat trick I picked up from a cooking show – the little flecks that stick to the fish mean more crispy bits. Are you into crispy bits? I am so into crispy bits. After I cook the fish, I throw in a few sprigs of curry leaves, stalks and all, into the hot oil. I then scrunch up the crispy shards in my hand and use as a garnish.Food52I am probably going to get a reputation on food52 as a cook who only makes pasta! But when this contest was announced, I knew that I wanted to submit this dish. This pasta has many cherished memories associated with it. It has been the centerpiece of my family's Christmas Eve Feast of the Seven Fishes dinner for as long as I can remember. As a child, I remember having Christmas Eve dinner at my grandparents' house. These were huge, chaotic, festive affairs with about thirty family members -- aunts, uncles and cousins. We usually did not have literally seven fishes, but dinner always included two kinds of baccala (cod). One was dried cod that was turned into a salad dressed with olive oil; the other was fresh cod, baked in the oven. There were always fried smelts and anchovies. And occasionally there would even be octopus. But the highlight of the dinner (at least for me) was the pasta with squid sauce. Of course, my grandmother always served the tentacles as well as the rings, which some of my cousins found rather disgusting. They would eat sugar and butter sandwiches instead, but that's another story. Now that I have grown up and moved away, our Christmas Eve dinners are more intimate affairs. But I still make this pasta every Christmas Eve for my family. Now, it gives me great pleasure to see my six-year-old daughter embrace this dish just as I did, so many years ago. She calls this recipe Spaghetti with Rings (because of the shape the squid is cut into). So that's what we call this dish now. The spirit of this dish is very much what my great-grandmother and my grandmother would have made. But I have tinkered a bit with the recipe ingredients and techniques. First of all, I strongly recommend splurging on San Marzano tomatoes. Because this is such a quick-cooking sauce, you want the best tomato flavor that you can possibly get. My ancestors would not have used shellfish in this dish, but I love the addition of them. Now that I live in the Pacific Northwest, I use local clams, but mussels are also a nice choice. I cook the squid for far less time than my grandmother would have. She was an excellent cook, but as my father often said, her squid was a bit too rubbery. To get the optimum basil and garlic flavor into this delicate sauce, I have adapted a technique that NYC chef Andrew Carmellini uses in his excellent cookbook, Urban Italian. Basically, you infuse olive oil with garlic and basil and add it to the sauce at the end of the cooking time rather than at the beginning. It adds a really wonderful layer of flavor to the sauce. And while I know that most foodies frown on putting cheese on a pasta sauce that contains fish, my family has always garnished this dish with Pecorino Romano, and I continue to do so too. However, purists could make breadcrumbs out of stale bread, toast the bread crumbs and a little bit of salt in some warm olive oil, and use the breadcrumbs as a garnish for this pasta.Food.comWhy only "kinda" Amish? Good question - shows you're paying attention. While the recipe from which this was adapted proudly proclaimed to be Amish Macaroni Salad, I found it to be much too sweet and not eggy enough for our tastes. After playing a bit with proportions and trying different types of vinegar and mustard, this is what resulted -- and although it's only Kinda Amish, it is, indeed, Very Deelish. You may save one hard cooked egg and slice it to arrange on the top, then sprinkle with paprika. Or you can just put all of the eggs in the salad and mix in some paprika too, and garnish with a few little tufts of fresh parsley. Or, for the presentationally-impaired like myself, just use all the eggs right in the salad, and forget the paprika and parsley. Parsley's always a little bit suspicious in my book anyway - once I got some parsley from a salad bar and it was plastic. Yeah, it was part of the decoration, but you know, they could warn people. "Attention Restaurant Patrons: Salad Bar Decorations Are Non-Edible. Everything Else Is Okay To Eat. No, Really. We Mean It." Oh, by the way, you'll want to prepare this a day ahead, and chill overnight in a padlocked refrigerator. Otherwise, it'll vanish long before you planned to serve it.Food.comThis is my version of my mom's recipe that was made for us so often while growing up. This is sort of the Indian cousin of the risotto, since the rice grains are not separate but cooked to a porridge-like consistency. It is immensely flavorful even in the simple version I have written, but you can make a heartier version by adding extra veggies to it too. My mom used to add carrots, potatoes, and peas to it sometimes. It's delicious with pickles or a simple vegetable curry, but can be eaten by itself with a dab of butter to make it even more creamy. You'll find there is nothing too distinctive about the ingredients in this recipe, but the technique of cooking is what makes this dish decidedly different from regular pilafs etc.AllrecipesThere's nothing very unusual about serving a chicken or potato salad at a cookout, which is why this layered Peruvian potato and chicken salad will cause such a stir. Or should I say, 'causa' a stir, since in Peru that's what this gorgeous dish is called. Infused with aji amarillo, lime juice, and cilantro, these are perfect for making ahead and packing in your cooler on a hot summer day. Garnish with cherry tomatoes and cilantro if desired.Food52Because the western diet is often way too heavy on carbohydrates, many people have started to cut down on products containing gluten, which are often carb-heavy, as a way of promoting better health and losing weight. Going completely gluten-free is something only recommended for those with celiac disease and doctor-diagnosed non-celiac gluten sensitivity. If you do not suffer from these health issues, it can actually damage your health to cut out gluten completely. Besides that, being truly gluten-free in your life can be much more difficult that a lot of marketing may suggest. According to the health blog of the Harvard Medical School, “Gluten also lurks in many other products, including frozen vegetables in sauces, soy sauce, some foods made with “natural flavorings,” vitamin and mineral supplements, some medications, and even toothpaste.” That said, cutting back on gluten is often associated with improvements to your overall health, usually because you end up eating fewer carbs and maintain a generally healthier diet as a consequence. Getting to Know Gluten Gluten is a protein that is most often found in wheat, barley, and rye. Over the last few decades, the sensitivity to this protein has increased, or at least our awareness of it has. Gluten sensitivity is a fairly common digestive problem and celiac disease is the more severe form of this. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease affecting close to 1 percent of the population, and, if dietary changes are not made, this disease can seriously damage your digestive system. Gluten sensitivity cannot be accurately diagnosed without blood tests, but there are some common signs indicating possible gluten sensitivity that you can look out for. If you notice them, or think you may have gluten sensitivity/celiac disease, speak to your doctor and get tested. The good news is that by switching to a gluten-free or gluten-reduced diet, you can live a healthier life. So knowing what to look for is a good place to start. Here are some of the symptoms: Bloating is common after eating gluten, which can make you feel miserable. While bloating can be a sign of many other issues, it is also common in cases of gluten sensitivity. Occasional diarrhea or constipation is normal with dietary changes, but when it is frequent, you may be looking at gluten sensitivity. The gluten causes inflammation throughout your digestive tract, damaging the gut lining and leading to poor nutrient absorption. The result is irregular and uncomfortable bowel movements. Abdominal pain is also common with gluten sensitivity and will be noticed directly after eating foods containing gluten. Headaches and migraines have been reported in gluten-sensitive individuals. While an occasional headache is tolerable, repeated headaches, especially after eating, could be a sign. Feeling tired could be from a lack of sleep or stress, but it is also linked to gluten sensitivity. Individuals that are sensitive to this protein are very prone to fatigue and tiredness, especially after eating. Skin problems can occur with gluten sensitivity. A condition known as herpetiformis is a skin manifestation common with celiac disease. Other skin conditions such as psoriasis, chronic urticaria (hives) and alopecia areata have been known to clear up once people changed to a gluten-free diet. Weight loss, when unexpected, is a common side effect of undiagnosed celiac disease. The weight loss is typically attributed to poor digestion and inefficient absorption of essential nutrients. Those with celiac disease are thought to also have a highly-sensitive nervous system, which means they have a lower threshold for the activation of the sensory neurons that cause pain. Individuals that are sensitive to gluten may therefore, experience frequent joint and muscle pains. It’s Easy to Go Gluten-Free Unlike some diets, going gluten-free does not mean you have to give up good food, as there are plenty of recipes to keep your palette happy. For example, a cold Soba Noodle Salad is perfect for a light lunch or side dish to accompany any dinner. It’s not your typical salad, as there is no lettuce, but it is packed full of nutrients and great for those with gluten sensitivity. Soba noodles are as common in Japanese cuisine as a carefully coiffed Zen garden and very popular in America now as well. They are made with buckwheat or brown rice and contain fewer carbohydrates than traditional noodles. The chewy noodles mixed with crunchy cabbage are a quick and convenient meal for anyone following a gluten-free diet. Gluten-Free Soba Noodle Salad Ingredients: 1 package of gluten-free soba noodles ½ small head of purple cabbage ¼ lb. washed and trimmed sugar snap peas Sunflower microgreens (to use as garnish) Dressing: ¼ cup toasted sesame oil 1/8 cup rice vinegar ½ small diced shallot ½ tablespoon black sesame ½ teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes Directions: Whisk the rice vinegar in a bowl with the toasted sesame oil; you should notice the oil and vinegar emulsify. Add in the diced shallots, garlic powder and red pepper flakes and then set aside once well mixed. Chop up the cabbage into thin slices and put in a large bowl. Slice the snap peas in thirds and add to the cabbage. Drizzle the dressing on top and mix well to make sure all the vegetables are coated. Cook the soba noodles according to the package, drain and rinse. Add them into the salad and mix thoroughly. The Bottom Line Even though gluten is widespread throughout our food, there are numerous options for gluten-free alternatives available. The popularity of gluten-free and gluten-reduced diets is growing so much, that these alternatives can be easily found and make modifying your diet very easy. Remember, that if you do cut back on gluten, try to increase other nutrients and essential minerals to keep your diet balanced. Ultimately, cutting out gluten can enhance your health and improve your well-being.Food52I used to use radishes only as garnish. When I stayed in a zen temple in France, they taught me to eat them with butter and salt. Later, I got the idea of making 'tataki' with them from culinary artist Itsuko Makita's recipe in the Croissan Bio magazine (Japanese cooking magazine on macrobiotic-style recipes). Now when I find plump radishes, this is what I often make. The name 'tataki,' when used in a vegetable dish, is a technique of cracking vegetables (it comes from the verb 'tataku' which means 'punch' or 'knock'). It's a technique often used with cucumber and burdock. Cracked vegetables absorb condiments better, and have a nice texture that makes them more pleasant to eat. It's also fun to do; I usually use a wooden spatula, but you can also use a rolling pin (which Ms. Makita suggests). After that, just a pinch of salt, then a splash of lemon, which brightens up the color of the radishes. The garnish is made with lemon peel. In Japanese cooking, there are various styles of cutting garnish; the one I did here is one of the easiest ones, called 'kumi-matsuba,' or crossed pine needles. You can make it by cutting out a small rectangle, cutting two slits to make an "s," then crossing the two ends together.YummlyIf you love pasta and also fish, then you'lll fall doubly in love with this recipe. To make it, chopped onion, garlic, tomatoes, and bell pepper are sauteed with a single bay leaf to create a rustic sauce that's then also used to cook the pasta (either macaroni or other short tubular shapes). What's more, they are all cooked together in the same pot at the same (or successive) time(s) . Chopped fresh flat leaf parsley is an essential garnish.Food52Budget Bytes » Recipes » Globally Inspired Recipes » Asian Inspired Recipes » Garlic Noodles Garlic Noodles $2.54 recipe / $0.64 serving by Beth - Budget Bytes published Dec 3, 2009updated Jul 28, 2015 4.78 from 108 votes Pin Recipe Jump to recipe → This post contains some affiliate links, which means that we make a small commission off items you purchase at no additional cost to you.

Garlic Noodles in the skillet topped with green onion See this recipe used in my weekly meal prep. Where Do I Find Oyster Sauce? Oyster sauce can be found in the International aisle of most major grocery stores (look near hoisin sauce). If you can’t find it there, it’s worth it to seek out an Asian market, where oyster sauce is likely to be much less expensive than in chain grocery stores. What Can I Use in Place of Oyster Sauce? I personally feel that the salty rich flavor of the oyster sauce makes this dish what it is and I wouldn’t suggest substituting it. That being said, several readers have said they’ve used hoisin sauce, which is much sweeter, and have enjoyed the results. Substitute the oyster sauce in this garlic noodles recipe at your own risk. What Else Can I Add to Garlic Noodles? This is a great base recipe to which you can add all sorts of other ingredients! Garlic noodles are great as a side dish, but you can add protein and vegetables to make it a meal.

When I don’t have green onions I have substitute them with red onions that are cooked until transparent, not caramelized. I made it for a pasta class last weekend. Everyone loved it, is always a success. Reply Alicia 04.27.24 at 1:10 am Absolutely love this recipe! I always add way more garlic and it’s a bit sweet for my liking so I more than half the sugar. Totally addicting and I can’t wait to make this again. Would also highly recommend making this with Trader Joe’s Thai wheat noodles. Those absorb the flavor soooo well. Reply Sarah C.
