Shrimp Toast with Green Cocktail Sauce & Hummus

Shrimp Toast with Green Cocktail Sauce and White Bean Hummus

When I shared the teaser for this Shrimp Toast with Green Cocktail Sauce, there were many comments about the uniqueness of my food. I am and was flattered but I don’t think the praise is entirely deserved. This toast, while pretty, is a visual inventory of what was in my fridge at the time of its conception. The green cocktail sauce a desperate attempt to justify buying my weight in tomatillos. The white bean hummus merely an expression of my undying love for, well, hummus. Basically, my brain darts around in a million directions, and I let it. And then I attempt to make it look intentional in the aftermath. It’s all culinary smoke and mirrors.

I have written extensively about my love for veggie burgers. I’m a huge fan of the variety of grain and legume medley’s that fall under the veggie patty umbrella. I find them satisfying, totally crave-able, and nothing like a regular burger. And that is fine by me. My veggie burger cravings and burger burger cravings are not intertwined. In other words, I would never dream of subbing one for the other. They offer completely different eating experiences. These Curried Kidney Bean Patties for instance, in no way scratch a Big-Mac-style itch. But when I’m in the market for a toothsome veggie burger, they more than fit the bill.

I’ve always been more of a thigh girl than a breast girl. I love saying this. Not only is it true but it also appeals to my inner five-year-old, whose sense of humor oddly intersects with that of a dirty old man. But thinly-veiled innuendos aside, I am telling the truth. I think chicken thighs are better than chicken breasts. I’m team dark meat all the way. But I still think the breast has a time and a place. I prefer chicken breast with caesar salad or in a club sandwich for instance. And I thought I preferred boob when it came to chicken Milanese, scallopine, and/or parmigiana but these Za’atar Crusted Chicken Thighs have given me pause.

There are few lunch items in the world that can rival the perfection that is a PB&J sandwich. Something so simple and so beloved, almost every person on the planet has had one and loved one. Except for those born with a nut allergy – my condolences by the way. I count myself among that many that love this classic sandwich. But my reverence doesn’t stop me from messing with it. PB and J is a fun combo of the flavors that are compatible with most dishes. Particularly if those dishes are of the dessert persuasion. So without further ado, allow me to introduce what I believe to be the happiest home for peanut butter and jelly – the PB and J Silk Pie with Oreo Crumb Crust.
