Ingredients
  1. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  2. 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  3. 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  4. 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
  5. 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
  6. 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
  7. Zest of l lemon
  8. Salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Set a bowl of ice water next to the stove. Add the asparagus to the boiling water and blanch for 3 to 4 minutes or until just tender. Remove from the pot and set in the ice water just until cool. Drain well in a shallow dish, combine the garlic, vinegar, worcestershire, rosemary, thyme, oregano and zest. Season with salt and pepper, then add the asparagus. Toss to coat and marinate for 2 hours.
Notes
  1. An antipasti platter doesn't have to be a selection of cheese and fatty cured meats. You can make a delicious and beautiful one from the many colors of the vegetable garden.
  2. Marinating the vegetables brings out a whole host of bright flavors. Serve them with rustic bread for sopping up the flavorful marinade. You can also include a hunk of Parmesan cheese on your platter; a small piece goes a long way
  3. Other nice -- and healthy -- additions to an antipasti platter are anchovies and olives. Like Parmesan, they add a pungent, salty element that contrasts nicely with the vegetables.
  4. The vegetables can be marinated at room temperature or in the refrigerator. If in the refrigerator, allow them to come to room temperature before serving.

Ingredients
  1. TOMATO TOPPING
  2. 5 medium-sized sun-ripened tomatoes
  3. 1/3 cup thinly shredded fresh basil leaves
  4. 1/2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  5. 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
  6. 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus extra as needed
  7. 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus extra as needed
  8. 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  9. GARLIC TOASTS
  10. 8 slices baguette-style bread, each about 1inch thick 1or 2 large garlic cloves, halved
  11. 1-1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  12. FOR SERVING
  13. 3 tablespoons thinly shredded fresh basil leaves
Instructions
  1. Preheat a broiler or grill.
  2. For the spicy tomato topping, cut each tomato vertically in half, cutting down through the core at its stem end. Cut a V-shaped notch on either side of the core in each half to remove the core. Coarsely cut the tomato halves into 1/2-inch dice.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, basil, vinegar, oil, salt, black pepper and optional red pepper flakes. With a fork or spoon, gently stir the ingredients together until thoroughly combined. Taste and adjust the seasonings, adding a little more red pepper if you would like a spicier topping. Set this mixture aside at room temperature.
  4. For the garlic toasts, broil or grill the bread slices until golden brown on both sides. With the cut side of a garlic clove half, generously rub one side of each toasted bread slice. Brush the garlic-rubbed side of each slice with the oil. Place the slices on aserving platter or individual plates with their garlic-rubbed sides up.
  5. Using a slotted spoon divide the tomato mixture evenly among the bread slices, letting excess liquid drain from the spoon before you mound the mixture neatly but casually on top of each slice. Garnish with the shredded basil and serve immediately.

Ingredients
  1. 3 tablespoons olive oil, more as needed
  2. 2 large yellow onions, finely chopped
  3. Sea salt
  4. 2 pounds fresh spinach, washed and thoroughly dried
  5. Vegetable oil or nonstick spray, for oiling pan
  6. 1 pound feta cheese, rinsed in cool water, then crumbled
  7. 12 ounces ricotta cheese, drained
  8. 5 ounces (about 2 cups) finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
  9. 5 large eggs, lightly beaten
  10. Freshly ground black pepper
  11. 1 to 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill, or to taste.
Instructions
  1. 1. In a large skillet over low heat, heat olive oil. Add onions and pinch of salt, and sauté until soft and beginning to turn golden, 30 to 40 minutes. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
  2. 2. Return pan to medium heat. Working in batches and adding oil 1 tablespoon at a time as needed, sauté spinach until wilted, then transfer to a bowl. Coarsely chop cooked spinach, then squeeze hard to remove as much excess liquid as possible.
  3. 3. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Lightly oil a shallow 9-by-13-inch baking dish and set aside. In a large bowl, combine feta, ricotta, Parmigiano-Reggiano, eggs and a generous amount of pepper. Mix well. Add spinach and onions and mix thoroughly. Add dill, and toss to blend. Spoon into baking dish, pat down evenly and drizzle lightly with olive oil.
  4. 4. Bake pie for 30 minutes. Raise heat to 350 degrees and bake until lightly firm in center and golden on top, about 20 more minutes. If top begins to brown too much, cover lightly with foil. To serve, allow pie to cool slightly before cutting into squares. It may also be served cold.
Notes
  1. I don't know who Sara is.

Ingredients
  1. 1 cup peeled garlic cloves
  2. 1 teaspoon salt
  3. 4 cups neutral oil such as grapeseed or sunflower
  4. 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
Instructions
  1. Examine the garlic cloves and remove and discard any green sprouts, which can make the sauce taste bitter. Place the garlic and salt in a food processor and process until the garlic is puréed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl once or twice as necessary.
  2. With the machine running, add 1/2 cup of the oil in a very slow, thin, steady stream. Gradually add 1/2 tablespoon of the lemon juice in the same manner. Repeat this process until all of the oil and lemon juice have been incorporated into the garlic. It should take around 10 minutes. If at any point the mixture separates, stop adding oil/lemon juice and continue processing until the mixture comes together. The sauce should have a mayonnaise-like consistency.
  3. Transfer the garlic sauce to an airtight container. If the sauce is still warm from the food processor, wait until it cools to cover the container.
  4. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.
Notes
  1. There are lots of different methods for making garlic sauce. "Toum" literally means garlic in Arabic, and the simplest recipes call for lots of fresh garlic cloves and oil, pounded with a mortar and pestle (or a food processor) to form a paste. Some cooks include additional ingredients like egg whites, cornstarch, potatoes, yogurt, lemon juice, or citric acid. I like the simplicity of the recipe below, which uses garlic, salt, lemon juice, and oil. (My go-to oil is grapeseed oil from Trader Joe's. It's inexpensive, neutral tasting, light bodied, and expeller pressed without chemicals.)
  2. In order for the sauce to emulsify properly in the food processor, it requires a rather large volume of garlic and oil. Fortunately, this keeps for quite a few weeks in the fridge, or you can spread the joy and give a jar to all your garlic-loving friends.
