Steamed Artichokes with Ramp Aioli

For the uninitiated, cooking – and eating – an artichoke may seem like a daunting task. The prickly, tough-textured outside of the artichoke doesn’t seem particularly appetizing at first glance. After all, the artichoke is a close relative of the thistle and shares many of its characteristics. But beneath the leathery leaves of the artichoke lies a tender treasure – the sweet flesh that covers the base of each leaf and, best of all, the large meaty base or “heart” …

Malfatti with Wild Mushroom & Truffle Sauce

What’s in a name? In this case, an interesting (and amusing) story lies behind the name of this close cousin to the more familiar gnocchi.  The Italian word malfatti literally means “badly made.” Whimsical names abound in Italian cookery, especially when it comes to pasta.  For example, strozzapreti means “priest choker,” fazzoletti means “little handkerchiefs,” orechiette means “little ears,” and last but not least, farfalle meaning “butterflies.” In this country, malfatti have come to refer to something akin to a …

Morel Poppers

Practically everyone has heard of ‘poppers’, the tasty little cheese-filled peppers that can pack a wallop of heat. It’s a fact – they make great party food or appetizers and are as addictive as potato chips. Since fresh morel mushrooms are in season, we thought, “Why not try a little variation on on the “popper” theme using morels?” After all, they’re about the same size and shape as chile peppers – and they taste great when fried.
