Missing my land-based Friday happy hours. The one day of the week that was a no-cook zone. I could prepare things in advance but the whole idea was to create a no fuss, easy on the Galley Kat end of the week kind of dinner when we both got home from work. Sometimes I would get a little carried away (who me?) with new recipes to try but it was that one sacred day…no not Sunday….sacred in the sense that…
This was one of those ‘super-suppers-at-anchor’ kind of meals. A chilly damp day, lots of boat work and two very hungry sailors in need of a hearty dinner. It was also collaborative – my fave way of cooking, sharing the work. Captain ‘manned’ the grill (steak and potatoes) while I did some serious damage down in the galley (gettin’ the mushrooms drunk). Anyway, it was an awesome supper. Tasty taters, mushrooms all drunk and saucy and that perfectly grilled hunk…
Sadly this recipe uses the last morsel from our recent Rhode trip gifts. Going to have to learn to gather our own treasures from the sea from now on. But…. …with this ‘holy-crap-gonna-catch-us-something-big’ lure, how can we lose? It even comes with the name ‘Tormenter”. Watch out! The beauty of these types of dinners is the ease in cooking. Most fish takes just a few minutes from prep to table. This was no exception, although I let the filet marinate…
This one is far too good not to share. You could use your own fave barbecue sauce but if you don’t mind simmering up this amazing mixture of tangy spicy rich thick sauce, please do feel free to use over and over and over again. At the beginning of each season I make up a batch and bring it onboard. Two cups of this sauce goes a long way, keeps well refrigerated and is great slapped on not only ribs…
We were recently gifted with some tuna from our sailing/fishing friends and wanted to put together something worthy of their generosity. In my search, I landed on what looked like a winner from The Domestic Man. Simple, very quick to prepare and cook, plus I was introduced to a new-to-me seasoning, Furikake, a combination of sesame seeds and nori seaweed. Well, I thought to myself, I can make my own, which is what I did. All this to say, my…
Isn’t there still room in our summer for an easy delicious salad and something from the grill? Sure is! SEAFOOD BROCHETTES with WATERMELON LENTIL SALAD For Brochettes 8 large scallops 16 shrimp (large enough that 2 wrap around each scallop), peeled, tails on 1/4 cup olive oil 2 tbsp lemon juice 1 tsp smoked paprika 1 crushed garlic sea salt & pepper 8 x 6″ skewers (see Galley Kat Notes below) For salad 1/4 cup olive oil 1 garlic clove,…
He’s done it again! Tonight my Captain transformed a piece of salmon into a meal that burst with flavour at every bite… …just a few simple ingredients… …a healthy sprinkling of sea salt and pepper… …and heated grill… …each side slathered with the sauce… GUINNESS MAPLE GLAZED SALMON 1/2 cup Guinness 1/4 cup maple syrup 2 tbsp Bragg seasoning (or soya sauce) 1 tsp Dijon mustard (Captain says it HAS to be Maille) sea salt and pepper salmon…
Our weather here in the Great White North, has been on a meteorological roller coaster lately. (actually, Montreal isn’t exactly so far North but it is great and white) Yesterday it was 0 ° C (32 ° F) and tonight it is supposed to dip down to -22 ° C (-7.6 ° F) Mother Nature is such a tease! Anyway, yesterday gave us some hope that grilling season isn’t too far far away. …and we are just going to ignore,…
I keep wafting back and forth between craving summer barbecuing and cold weather comfort food. No doubt that I am in denial that soon we will no longer be aboard our little chalet on the water. Today I’m in a summer frame of mind, so fire up that grill Galley peeps…… MARINADE for PORK 1 pork tenderloin 1/4 cup soya sauce (I use Bragg Seasoning) 1/4 cup honey 1/4 cup dry sherry 1/8 cup rice wine vinegar 1/8 cup vegetable…
Yesterday’s weather/dinner plan misfire became tonight’s tasty sunset treat… (cold pouring rain does not a happy Captain make) …but tonight was an entirely different story… …these easy little Moroccan inspired turkey kabobs… …with the addition of brown rice (pressure cooker ready in just 15 minutes) …and some boat-grown sprouts, made a delicious sunset cockpit meal. TURKEY KABOBS 1 lb lean ground turkey 1 garlic cloves, minced 2 tbsp minced onion 1 tbsp minced or grated fresh ginger 1…
