Here are two versions of Pickled Asparagus using the same brine so you can make Dill and Garlic or Sweet and Hot. Or some of each. This is an easy pickling recipe and they’re ready to eat in as little as a few weeks, but they store for ages.
Creamy Coleslaw
A classic cabbage salad, Creamy Coleslaw has crunch, colour and just the right amount of tangy dressing. It’s a perfect summer salad because it can be made in advance and pairs well with grilled meat. And it’s almost always served as a side dish at a fish fry.
Potato Salad
Potato Salad is one of those classic side dishes that always seems to appear in the summer because it goes so well with outdoor dining, picnics and barbecues. And the best of all, it’s a make ahead recipe so you have a relaxing dinner prep.
Creme Brûlée
Creme Brûlée is one of those classic desserts. It’s rich and creamy and silky and, best of all, you make it in advance. In fact the day before is preferable. The crackly caramelized sugar topping takes only a few minutes right before serving and totally takes it to a top level dish! The downside is that the main ingredient is cream. High fat cream. I wanted to see if using a lower fat combination would give the same delicious results. And I was pleasantly surprised!
Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus
One of the most popular ways to prepare asparagus is wrapping spears in prosciutto and roasting or grilling. These tasty bundles are always a hit and look impressive despite the easy preparation.
