IMPERIA CAVIAR

IMPERIA CAVIAR

APPETIZER AT HOME

Received a gift of Imperia Caviar and quickly put it to use on the Bagels we just got from New York. Spread Garlic Butter on the Bagels and then put them under the broiler to brown.  Topped with Raspberry Jam, Truffle Cheese and the Caviar.  A taste of heaven.  Wow!

I have updated this post with other photos showing how we are using and loving our Imperia Caviar.

DINNER AT HOME

I love fresh Ahi and I love Garlic so this is a favorite combination of flavors.  We cook the Ahi rare so it is still pink in the middle.  My Wife perfectly browns the garlic with White Wine and Butter.  The flavor of the Garlic and Ahi together is pure heaven.  Love it!  Will be posting the recipe soon.

DINNER AT HOME

Watching a cooking show and saw a Squid Ink Pasta dish being made in Italy.  Looked so good that I bought some Squid Ink Linguine (on Amazon) and started Googling recipes.  Since most recipes used Shrimp, I made my own variation based on the recipe below.  I sautéed a lot of chopped Shallots and Garlic in Olive oil and Butter.  Added Tomato Paste and chopped Sun Dried Tomatoes.  Sautéed for a minute or two and then added the Cherry Tomatoes.  Let them cook a bit and then added 1/2 cup of White Wine and 1/2 cup of Chicken Stock.  Let this reduce and added Salt and Pepper.  Added Butter, Lemon Juice (go easy on the Lemon Juice.  Add a little then taste and adjust) and Zest stirred and simmered.  Added chopped Basil and Italian Parsley (from our garden!). Separately I seasoned the Scallops and Shrimp with Salt, Pepper and a little bit of Lemon/Pepper.  Pan seared the Scallops in butter for just two minutes on each side removed and  cooked the shrimp.  Removed and set aside.

Cooked the pasta and added a few ladles of the pasta water to the sauce.  Simmered.  Added the cooked al dente pasta to the sauce and stirred it all up.  Plated with the pasta and sauce then topped with Scallops, Shrimp, fresh Basil and Parsley.  This was delicious and really loved by my Wife.

LUNCH AT HOME

I love my Tuna Salad recipe and after buying some Bagels from New York just had to put the two together.  Wow..this sandwich was delicious.  The warm Bagel was soft on the inside and a little crunchy on the outside.  Perfect compliment to the Worlds Best Tuna Sandwich recipe!

BREAKFAST AT HOME

Yes I bought these on QVC after seeing them come hot out of the oven.  My Wife loves bagels and buys them at Costco and Sams Club.  Thought  would treat her to the real deal Bagels from New York and made with the famous New York Water.  We received 3 dozen of these little bagels which for me are the perfect size.  Baked in oven at 425 degrees for 5 minutes and they were crispy and warm.

Thought they were real good and will be making sandwiches with them later in the week.  Stay tuned for more bagel posts as we have a lot of these.

DINNER AT HOME

Enjoyed a very simple Rib Eye Steak with fresh cut Air Fried French Fries.  My Wife cooks the perfect steak with a nice spice char on top and pink in the middle.  Nice glass of Cabernet and I would say this was the perfect dinner after a long day at work.
