Of Goats and Greens
A blog for food and cookery and discussions of weird things like nutrition, restaurant excursions, growing food in my own garden and on my planned homestead; and anything related.
I'm personally mostly interested in foods made from healthy fats and healthy carbs, low amounts of processed sugars or starches, and I definitely steer to a preference for Real Food. (Would someone's great-grandparent have recognized the item as food?) I've a strong interest in vegetables, seafood, eggs, and "ethnic" foods from around the world. Yes, I do make use of "odd bits". No, I don't bake desserts much -- I really don't have much of a "sweet-tooth". Currently all my recipes are gluten-free, or readily have that option.

Pan Fried Dover Sole (Gluten-Free)

Grain-Free Ikura Avocado Hand Roll
Not that long ago, I was in the mood for a snack. I didn’t want to wait to cook up the rice (waiting defeats the point of a snack), so I decided, somewhat in the spirit of the Naruto roll … Continue reading

Dining Out: IKEA, New Haven, CT
Yes, I know, Ikea has meatballs and a bunch of other food items in their cafeteria. I’m very very picky about meatballs, and I’d say none of the other menu reached out and grabbed me, either, but I will say … Continue reading
King Mackerel with Asparagus, Leeks and Pomegranate Reduction
I don’t see king mackerel often, but it showed up at one of the local groceries a day or so ago, so I sprung for it. The price was right, and it was wild caught sourced. (You will also find … Continue reading

I’ll post both a traditional bonito-based dashi and a vegetarian (shiitake mushroom-based) dashi recipe here today. Both are good and serviceable! Plus, cleaning out some old ingredients, I have a combo dashi at the bottom of this post. Dashi has … Continue reading
