Garden Fresh Tomato Vinaigrette

Tomato Vinaigrette

Garden Fresh Tomato Vinaigrette

Tomatoes, heavy on the vine, are peaking in flavor and feeling plump with fresh tomato juice. How many ways can I serve them to celebrate the abundance of a Nebraska summer?

One method I recently discovered that garnered 5 star reviews and entry into my column of summer favorites is a recipe for Tomato Vinaigrette.  The recipe asks for fresh garden tomatoes because they need to be juicy with a pulp that can be scraped from the skin and into a bowl. 

NOW is the season for Tomato Vinaigrette! 

Tomato Vinaigrette

I eat it with a spoon!  The tomatoes bring a sweetness intensified by a tablespoon of Buzz Savories’ local honey and balanced with a light rice vinegar and 1 teaspoon of Buzz Savories Spicy Beer Mustard.  Buzz Savories Spicy Beer Mustard brings  accents of turmeric and allspice and mustard seeds to the vinaigrette so it dresses the lettuces and vegetables with beads of a unique and delicious flavor.

Salmon Croquettes and Salad

Salmon Coquette

Salmon Patties and Mixed Green Salad

If you’re looking for a simple and crunchy brunch on the patio or a light and easy dinner menu, here’s one that’s going to be hard to beat — especially if you can pick up some fresh-from-the-field  lettuces and maybe a cucumber from the farmer’s market for the salad.  Packaged mixed greens  serves as a fine substitute for farm grown. 

One reason I like this recipe is because it is easy. For one thing, you can prepare the patties hours or even a day in advance and sauté  them just before you put the dish together.

Start by poaching and cooling some fresh salmon, although to be fair this recipe works just as well with leftover or even canned salmon. As you sauté the salmon mixture,   blend together a fresh lemon vinaigrette salad dressing with Buzz Savories Spicy Beer Mustard and just five other ingredients.

When the salmon is golden and the lettuces arranged on the plates or in the bowls, add the salad dressing, and serve with a fresh baguette and butter. Light, crunchy yet with a complex mix of flavors, you’ll find Salmon  Patties and Mixed Green  Salad may very well become a favorite dinner menu every month.

The best recipes are often caught up in your web of memories. For me this dish reminds me of rushing cold salmon streams in Oregon and a lovely French vinaigrette that I once enjoyed in New Orleans. What will it remind you of?

Celebrate Summer with Roundup Ribs

Roundup Ribs

Celebrate Summer with Roundup Ribs

Summer and ribs on the grill go together. I like the flavor of a salty/sweet barbecue sauce, a char on a meaty rib and tender to the bite. In my experience ribs often are over cooked and dry.  The recipe that follows guarantees a perfect barbecue every time. 

I feel honored to introduce you to a brilliant Chef,  Bernard Schimmel, the creator of the Roundup Rib recipe. The Schimmel family were hoteliers in the 1900’s and  built and supervised their inns with an Olde World charm. Bernard Schimel, one of the Schimmel Brothers was a recognized  food artist and Master Chef.  On rare and special occasions my family and friends celebrated at the Blackstone Hotel in Omaha and later the Cornhusker Hotel in Lincoln where we happily experienced the Schimmel cuisine and artistry. 

In 1976 Joslyn Art Museum and the Schimmel family published a book, Joslyn Presents Bernard Schimmel’s Masterpieces and in rereading the book, I discovered a recipe for barbecued ribs. 

I know we all are planning our July 4th celebration, and our masterpiece will be on the grill.  I suggest Roundup Ribs,  the Bernard Schimmel’s recipe for Ribs. I like it for 2 reasons 1) memorable flavor and tenderness 2) easy to make for a few or many. 

Season baby back ribs with simply salt and pepper, layer with lemon slices and bake uncovered in the oven for 1 hour at 350 Degrees F, until nearly done since pork is at its best at medium 150 or 155 Degrees F.  The ribs may be oven-roasted  a day ahead and then finished to preferred temperature with a barbecue sauce on the grill, or if a grill is not available or rain is pouring, complete the whole process in the oven.   

The exceptional spicy/sweet and well balanced barbecue sauce  compliments the pork flavor 

I thank Bernard Schimmel for the recipes and Robert Scott Rager for the food styling and photography.

Roundup Ribs

Nebraska's Best Rib Barbecue recipe was created by Bernard Schimmel, a "Great Food Artist" in Omaha where he and his family served elegant food at The Blackstone Hotel in Omaha during the mid-1900's. His book' Joslyn Presents Bernard Schimmel's Masterpieces (1976) published the recipe below: A quote from Mr. Schimmel that I treasure said, "Of all ingredients the truly essential one is care."
Course Main Course
Cuisine American
Keyword Buzz Savories Honey Mustard, Easy Cooking, flavor rich, grilling
Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour
Servings 6

Equipment

  • grill and oven

What You'll Need:

  • 5 lbs baby back ribs of pork
  • 3 tsp salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 2 whole lemons sliced thin with skin on

Barbecue Sauce

  • ¼ cup molasses
  • 1 ½ Tb butter
  • ½ cup Buzz Savories Honey Mustard
  • ¼ cup rice vinegar
  • 1 Tb Worcestershire Sauce
  • â…“ cup canned pineapple juice
  • ¼ tsp. garlic powder or a pinch of dried garlic flakes
  • ½ tsp Tabasco or hot sauce of your choice
  • 2-3 Tb pineapple juice or water I like a lighter sauce so I add pineapple juice or water to thin it - your choice thick or thin

How To Prepare:

Preparing the Ribs

  • Place ribs in a single layer on baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper and top with the lemon slices
  • Roast uncovered in a 350 Degree oven for approximately 1 hour.
  • Roast in oven until ribs reach an internal temperature of 150-155 Degrees F for pork medium which will keep them juicy. If well-done is your preference, 160 Degrees F.
  • At this step, the ribs may be cooled and then covered and refrigerated one day or overnight awaiting the barbecue

Barbecue Sauce

  • Blend all ingredients together and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally then taste.
  • For a lighter/thinner sauce, add additional pineapple juice or water
  • If the sauce appears too thin, simmer 10 more minutes. Watch with care to avoid the sauce burning.
  • Barbecue the ribs on outdoor grill at a medium heat and baste 2-3 times until ribs are hot and acquire an amber/apricot glaze
  • Serve directly from the grill or at room temperature. This recipe may be doubled with ease.

Notes

The baking part of this recipe may be handled a day prior to grilling the ribs. Generously baste the ribs with barbecue sauce during the grilling and keep tabs on the temperature because these ribs were cooked nearly to doneness in the oven phase, and they will taste wonderfully tender and moist with only 20 or more minutes on the grill. The sauce flavors the ribs without burning in the grilling process. Easy!
When you feel a desire for barbecued ribs and have no grill available, this recipe may be started and finished in the oven.

Sweet Mustard BBQ Pork Chops

Sweet Mustard BBQ Pork Chops

Sweet Mustard BBQ Pork Chops

After 6 months of winter, it’s Grilling Season in Nebraska! I’m choosing the Buzz Savories’ recipe for grilled pork chops as first on the grill this weekend.  I have moved pork up my scale of my favorite choice of meat to barbecue.  Pork is versatile and lends itself to a variety marinades, sauces and rubs. I’m grilling pork chops often for the ease of preparation and serving, and the recipe that follows begins with a marinade.

This specific marinade adds character and flavor to the chops and the added convenience of a leisurely prep because the chops marinate for four hours minimum, and I prefer an overnight marinating process. 

BBQ Pork Chops

Pork chops are considered a lean cut of meat, and do not make the mistake of over cooking them.  Stop when instant thermometer reads 145 Degrees F. The result will be tender, juicy and a flavorful cut of meat to please every guest at your table.

Elegant and Easy Asparagus

asparagus

Elegant and Easy Asparagus

Elegant asparagus, straight and slim like a palace guard shows up on tables for Royals and also for us who cook and eat every day good food. 

Asparagus grows straight up from its earthen habitat during April and May. If you grow your own bed of asparagus or if like me you buy from a grower, eat now because asparagus produces its  edible spears only a few months.    

Prepare asparagus in simple ways because its earthy flavor needs very few nudges to taste amazing.

Buzz Savories’ favorite recipe for spring involves 2 steps and 5 ingredients including the asparagus. A basic blanching process (simmer for 2 minutes in salted water) develops an asparagus spear with a crunch yet tender. Finish off in the same skillet with a quick saute and dress with a Spicy Beer Mustard sauce. 

The humble asparagus can easily become the star attraction on any dinner table when melded with Buzz Savories Spicy Beer Mustard sauce.

Once you try this splendid little dish, you’ll be happy to add it to your own repertoire of simple vegetable sides. And this asparagus recipe needn’t be only a side dish – I cook this and add a hard-boiled or poached egg and a slice of ham and think my brunch would please the Royals.

Asparagus likes to be alone
Stands tall on its own
Nourished by the earth
And sun and rain
Bursting with nutrients – A Super Food
Asparagus spears are a sign of Spring
May to June – time in the sun is short

Keyword asparagus, vegetable, easy cooking, spicy beer mustard, sauce
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes

Equipment

  • 1 12" skillet
  • 1 food processor or immersion blender

What You'll Need:

  • 1 lb asparagus
  • 2 Tb olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic peeled and sliced thin

Dressing

  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 Tb Buzz Savories Spicy Beer Mustard
  • 2 Tb red wine vinegar

How To Prepare:

  • Heat 2 cups of water with 2 tsp. salt in a 10" frying pan or a skillet to fit the number of asparagus spears available to you
  • Add asparagus and blanch for 2 minutes.
  • Remove asparagus from pan and drain the water.
  • Wipe the pan and return to heat (medium). Add 2 Tb olive oil and heat until oil shimmers.
  • Add slices of garlic and fry briefly (1 minute).
  • Add asparagus back to the pan and let asparagus fry 3-4 minutes at a medium temperature.
  • Remove from heat and arrange asparagus on a serving platter.

Dressing

  • Mix mustard, vinegar and olive oil in a small bowl or bowl of a food processor. Blend until the mixture forms a creamy emulsion.
  • Drizzle over asparagus and sprinkle with salt and freshly ground pepper.

Notes

The blending process may be accomplished by hand with a wire whip although I've learned that a food processor or immersion blender produces a more creamy sauce that is less likely to separate. Serve the extra sauce in a bowl or small pitcher at the table. Your guests will ask for more.

Honey Rhubarb Crisp

Honey Rhubarb Crisp

Rhubarb delights in its abundance. Leaves like baskets and stems pink and thick and juicy. Takes both hands to pull the crisp stem from the plant starting with the largest around the circumference of the generous rhubarb plant. Trim the leaves and douse the stem then chop. I value rhubarb’s gift of potassium and vitamin C, vitamin k, and fiber. Then magnify the rhubarb flavor with a recipe for rhubarb crisp with Buzz Savories artisanal honey as a sweetener. The pairing of an artisanal honey and rhubarb was made in heaven.  Each compliments the flavor of the other and not too sweet nor sticky.

I’m thinking you will make Buzz Savories’ Rhubarb and Honey Crisp recipe often during the rhubarb season because of its simply delicious flavor and ease of cooking and clean-up. Serve it for breakfast, lunch, snack in the afternoon and dessert. I like it straight up and plain. No need for cream or ice cream. Rhubarb and artisanal honey hold their own.

Memphis Mustard Coleslaw

Memphis Mustard Coleslaw

Memphis Mustard Coleslaw

I have been thinking about cabbage as a vegetable that doesn’t get the credit it deserves. Cabbage is remarkably hearty, prefers cooler weather and can be preserved for months, especially in dishes such as sauerkraut, or for a week or more in a dish like this Memphis Mustard Coleslaw.  

Cabbage has been cultivated for longer than almost any other vegetable and is thought to have arisen in Asia. It’s a great source of Vitamin C , clinically proven to lower the risk of cancer and it’s in the same family (Brassicaceae) as another favorite plant of ours — mustard.

You can tell the difference between fresh, young cabbages and old, not-so-nice ones by their color, texture and smell. I was looking at cabbages in a market bin recently and I knew some were fresh and newly picked because their color is a mint green, their feel is firm and hard, and there’s nothing to note when I sniff them. Old cabbages have often have shriveled leaves that have been cut back exposing a telltale white interior and have a strong cabbage-y smell when sniffed.

When you meet a mint-green, hard, tight cabbage, grab it and take it home with you, then make this coleslaw. Based on vinegar and Buzz Savories Spicy Beer Mustard, it’s an ideal accompaniment for barbecue and many other summer dishes.

The South is known for its coleslaw, and this recipe is a great example of one with a sweet-savory taste and no mayonnaise, so it’s perfect for the Mother’s Day picnic.

Holiday Ham with Riesling and Mustard Glaze

Holiday Ham

Holiday Ham with Riesling and Mustard Glaze

I like ham. I like the flavors that become embedded during the long, slow curing process, and I like the savory chew. Above these, I like the variety of choices available for leftovers. A roasted ham is like a blank canvas to an artist. It’s a place to draw on one’s skills and imagination to produce a sumptuous breakfast casserole, a crispy grilled ham and cheese sandwich, a soup of ham and beans, a salad of ground ham and boiled eggs on crackers or toast. The Buzz Savories 2023 recipe for Holiday Ham with a Riesling and Mustard Glaze is the ideal place to start for a splendid feast and all the meals that come after.

In this recipe, the ham roasts over simmering water so it is baked with steam, producing moist and super-tender slices. The glaze brushed on in the final 30 minutes of cooking complements the ham and raises the bar for flavor. Only six ingredients make up the glaze — Riesling wine, butter, shallots or green onions, thyme, Buzz Savories Spicy Beer Mustard and Artisanal Honey. Riesling is a white wine with a sweet taste, and to be honest, any white that leans in that direction will work in this recipe. If wine is not among your choices, apple cider is also a fine substitute.

Holiday Ham

The glaze creates a complex flavor that lingers in the mouth, so you may wish to do as I do and serve the glaze in a bowl for those who want more of the smoky, sweet, salty, fruity flavor. As a meal that was put down months earlier during the previous harvest, ham is the perfect centerpiece for a spring celebration.

Roast the Ham

How To Prepare:

  • Heat oven to 300 Degrees. Place ham in a roasting pan in a rack. Remove the rind and score the fat crosswise without piercing the flesh of the ham.
  • Boil 7 cups of water with 1 cup wine in a saucepan for 5 minutes. Pour into bottom of roasting pan.
  • Bake ham, basting occasionally until an instant-read thermometer registers 110 Degrees F. Depending upon size of ham from 1 hour to 3 for a 14# ham.

Make the glaze

  • Melt butter in a sauce pan and cook the onions and thyme springs until onions are soft, about 10 minutes. Stir in remaining wine and bring to a simmer, and cook until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 8 minutes.
  • Remove thyme sprigs and transfer to a food processor. Add honey, salt and pepper and fresh thyme leaves and process until smooth.
  • Increase oven heat to 350 Degrees F when ham temp. registers 110 Degrees F. Remove ham from oven and using a pastry brush spread glaze mixture over the ham. Return to oven and bake ham until internal temperature registers 135 Degrees F, and it looks golden. If it browns too quickly, tent with aluminum foil.
  • Transfer ham to a large platter and let rest for 20 minutes before carving.
