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, DIY, and farmsteading/homesteading. But, mostly food. Mostly harmless...
I definitely steer to a preference for Real Food. (Would someone's great-grandparent somewhere have recognized that item as food?) Otherwise, I'm an omnivore who travels the world (gustatorially). Yes, I also make use of "odd bits". No, I don't bake desserts much -- I really don't have much of a "sweet-tooth". Nearly all of my recipes in recent years are gluten-free. And other than coconut, my recent and future recipes are tree-nut free, as I have digestive issues with those. There's a strong Paleo influence here.
I try to post recipes every Friday, with potential supplemental posts on Tuesdays.
Please leave me comments! Interacting with folk drives me forward!

Fig, Olive and Maple Syrup Sauce (or Glaze)

Squid with Olives and Tomato Sauce- A Greek Lenten Dish
I’m a sucker for (nearly) anything seafood. (I really have yet to try salt cod, and I’ll pass on the Japanese fugu and the live Korean octopus — speaking of suckers, thank you.) I know when growing up I was … Continue reading
Young Steamed Octopus
The recipe: Each 0.75 pound octopus serves one person as a main dish. The frozen packages I find in one of my supermarkets contain two each of these. I’m writing the recipe up as per one octopus – scale up accordingly. … Continue reading
Eel…. and Olive.
I had over 2/3rd of an eel left over from Christmas Eve; decided to figure out something fun to do with it, with sort of a Mediterranean flair. So here we go: 2/3rd eel (or the full thing if you … Continue reading
