Ginger Barbecued Flank Steak Time: 30 minutes
1 flank steak - 3/4 - 1 lb
2 cloves garlic minced or crushed
2 tbs snipped fresh chives
1 tbs fresh or 1 tsp dried oregano
1 tbs fresh ginger, peeled and minced about 3 slices the size of an American quarter or 1 euro coin
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tbs soy sauce
1 tbs sesame oil
1 tbs olive oil
Snip herbs, mince garlic, peel and mince ginger. Mix all ingredients except flank steak and pour over flank steak coating both sides well. Marinate 15 - 45 minutes. Cook over high heat 3 - 5 minutes per side or broil 5 - 6 minutes a side - or until done as liked. Slice thinly at an angle on the diagonal - against the grain for tenderest slices. Serve.
Pasta with Roasted Tomato Sauce Time: 35 minutes
I got this idea from Champaign Taste - she has other great food, check it out...
3 regular tomatoes or 4 roma tomatoes or 2 - 3 cups assorted cherry tomatoes or any
combination ...in other words, whatever you have or is available - garden fresh, of course
2 cloves garlic
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup olive oil, the good stuff
2 tbs snipped fresh chives
2 tbs snipped fresh basil
1 1/4 cup pasta, bite-size, fusilli, farfalle, penne, etc.
Cook pasta according to package directions. While it cooks: Cut tomatoes in chunks, (cherry tomatoes in halves). Coat the bottom of a glass baking dish with half of the oil. Spread tomatoes in a single, but compact layer in dish. Mince garlic and sprinkle over top. Sprinkle with salt and drizzle with olive oil. Roast in 400F (200C) oven for 30 minutes, until tomatoes start to brown around the edges. Remove and stir in herbs. Add to pasta and toss.
Sautéed Courgette (Zucchini) with Toasted Walnuts Time: 20 minutes
1 small zucchini, about 8 inches (20 cm)
1/4 cup chopped walnuts (1/2 cup halves)
2 tbs butter
1 tbs snipped chives.
Cut zucchini in half, then into 1/4 inch (.6cm) slices. In medium nonstick skillet sauté the chopped walnuts until toasted, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside. Melt remaining 1 tbs butter in same skillet and add zucchini. Sauté until it begins to soften. Add the walnuts, reduce heat and continue cooking until zucchini is done. Add chives, salt and pepper if using and serve.
