Figs

Figs stuffed with Gorgonzola

And wrapped in Prosciutto

This is fig season. (August-Sept)

If you happen to see figs in the market right now, do yourself a favor and pick some up for heavens sake!!!

Purchase some prosciutto and either blue cheese or Gorgonzola.
Wash the figs and cut off the stem.

Poke a hole into the top of the fig and stuff with your cheese of choice.
Wrap the fig in prosciutto and serve with a slight drizzle of honey!

Great with many white wines! You can warm these slightly, but I prefer them cold!!!

Enjoy!

Thai Spice Rub

Thai Spice Rub

This rub is great for fish especially salmon, or steel head trout.

But it's also great on chicken or beef.

It's more like a marinade, so

The longer you marinade the better.

You can use this as early as the day before.

Cover both sides and store in icebox.

Also you can adjust the amounts for quantity.

1tsp pepper

1shallot minced

1/2 C olive oil

1/2t Salt

2 T Sesame Oil

About 4 Red Thai Chili peppers Minced

Handful of Cilantro, more or less to taste

2T Fish Sauce, or Oyster Sauce

1/4 C Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice

1T Sugar

1/4 C Soy Sauce

1 Clove Garlic

2 T Tomato Paste

Place all ingredients in blender or food processor. Mix to a chunky sauce. Marinate food! Baste fish or chicken with remaining sauce during grilling. This is pretty strong, but you can use as a dipping sauce sparingly.
