  • Gwen's Entry:
    Grilled fish recipe is easy to prepare and ideal for coho and chinook salmon, catfish, and trout.

    Mix together the seasonings, add the fish, and allow it marinate for about eight hours and grill.
    Prep Time: 15 minutes
    Marinade time: 8 hours

    Cook Time: 10-12 minutes


    Ingredients:
    2-4 fish fillets
    marinade:
    1/3 cup peanut oil
    1/4 cup soy sauce (preferably those made for sashimi)

    3 cloves garlic, finely minced
    3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
    3 tablespoons sesame seeds
    2 tablespoon sesame oil
    1/2 teaspoon red pepper
    1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
    1/8 teaspoon ginger

    Preparation:
    Place fish fillets in a resealable plastic bag. Mix remaining ingredients in a small bowl and pour over fish. Seal bag and place into refrigerator for about 8 hours. Preheat grill for medium high heat. Remove fish from bag and discard marinade. Place fillets on grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, depending on thickness, turning once. Once fish flakes easily with fork, remove from heat and serve with Asian flavored vegetables and rice.

  • Sarah's Favorite Hamburgers

    Yes- I know I'm not eligible to win, but thought I'd share a recipe anyways! I don't measure when I cook, so they're a little different every time... :)

    1 lb ground pork (sometimes I buy flavored sausage and take it out of the casing)
    1 lb ground hamburger
    2 eggs
    1 egg yolk
    about 1/2 cup of grated Pecorino cheese
    1 package dry onion soup mix
    a generous squirt of ketchup (or spicy bbq if you want a little kick)
    a generous squirt of your favorite mustard
    a few shakes of worcestershire
    and finally, enough bread crumbs to get the mix to the right consistency- usually 3/4 to 1 cup

    Mush all of the above ingredients together by hand- this is the messy, but very important part! :) I usually buy fresh baked buns- the larger ones. And I'm known for making huge hamburger patties that fit the bun- I get about 5 or 6 burgers out of the above amounts and usually can only eat 1/2 a burger. The combination of pork and beef make these burgers super tender and juicy- not to mention the flavor. The Pecorino adds a wonderful salty cheesiness... My favorite topping for these burgers are mushrooms sauteed in Marsala with a little bit of salt and pepper... delicious! If you have another addition or combination, please share!!
