Smoked Haddock Pie

December 11, 2024 No Comments

Tis the season of comfort food and it doesn’t get more comfortable than this Smoked Haddock Pie. This dish features a rich and creamy béchamel sauce studded with chunks of smoked haddock, tender green peas, shallots, and a host of herbs baked under a lid of buttery mashed potatoes. I piped the potatoes into rosettes and studded them with peas for a little festive flair. This step is technically optional, but if you’re anything like me, it really isn’t. I can’t say no to a little retro charm. So let’s dive right in!

Cinnamon Miso Delicata Galette

Sometimes I dream up recipes to fulfill a defined, single purpose. A roast recipe for a celebration, the perfect snack for a movie night, or a warming sip for an aprés ski. But sometimes a recipe wanders into my head and I don’t have a clue what to do with it. And that is the case with today’s Cinnamon Miso Delicata Galette. This flaky beauty features tender slices of delicata squash packed into a golden whole wheat pastry slathered with cinnamon miso butter. The pie is finished with a sprinkling of rosemary, coarsely chopped pecans, and pomegranate arils. It is equal parts sweet and savory, and I think it would be right at home at the beginning or the end of the meal. Sure, this tart may have a bit of an identity crisis going on but at least it’s a delicious one. So let’s dive right in!

I may be a summer person through and through, but I can’t deny the charms of spring. Particularly this chapter of spring. The lilacs outside my office window are in full bloom and my crisper is bursting with fresh rhubarb. And that can only mean one thing; Mother’s Day is nearly here. If that realization has you panicking, have no fear. While it may be too late to make that brunch reso for fifteen. You still have time to pull together a beautiful meal to celebrate Mom. It doesn’t have to be elaborate but it should conclude with this Rhubarb Lemonade Pie. A blushing tart beauty that will prove to your mom that she did a pretty good job raising you.

Quiche is one of those dishes that’s good anytime. It works as a breakfast. It was made for brunch and/or lunch. And in a pinch, it makes for a really great dinner too. All you need to make it a complete meal is a simple side salad. And all of the work is done upfront. I love making a quiche on the weekend and revisiting it throughout the week. To me, quiche is the ultimate in make-ahead luxury. Today, I’m taking my classic quiche recipe and giving it the nicoise treatment. So naturally, I called it the Nicoise Quiche or Quiche Nicoise, if you want to be French about it. It’s a fully loaded quiche, so much so that my crust nearly runneth over. So dig out your deep-dish pie plate and let’s make this beauty.
