Roasting Tomatoes Part 2

You only need to roast the tomatoes for a few minutes, depending on the heat. Not all the way black, just partly.

We’re using these in a Romesco Sauce for the Pan Seared Chicken we are featuring this week. Romesco is a traditional Spanish sauce, but more about that later.

¡Ceviche!

Ribs heat it up, but Ceviche cools it down.

We make ours with Tilapia, Tuna, Shrimp & Scallops, garnished w/ Mango & Avocado.

Just the thing to beat the heat!

¡Spareribs!

What makes the summer heat worthwhile—

A slow fire and the smell of spareribs smoking.

Mango Time

It’s mango time…
