Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 5 servings

  • ½ cup water

  • ¼ cup quinoa

  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained

  • ½ cup bread crumbs

  • ¼ cup minced yellow bell pepper

  • 1 large egg

  • 2 tablespoons minced onion

  • 1 large clove garlic, minced

  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin

  • 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as Frank's RedHot®)

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

  1. Bring water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and water has been absorbed, about 15 to 20 minutes.

  2. Roughly mash black beans with a fork, leaving some whole, to form a paste-like mixture. Mix quinoa, bread crumbs, bell pepper, egg, onion, garlic, cumin, hot pepper sauce, and salt into black beans using your hands. Form into 5 patties.

  3. Add olive oil to a large skillet and heat on medium.

  4. Cook patties until heated through and lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

Chef John's Strawberry Semifreddo

Chef John's Strawberry Semifreddo

My lighter, no-cook adaptation of semifreddo skips the traditional egg custard and cuts down on fat, sugar, and time. It just so happens to be lighter, with a cleaner, more distinct berry flavor and a texture that's less creamy than classic semifreddo, falling somewhere between strawberry ice cream and a strawberry ice pop.

This salsa lends a colorful flair to any seafood dish, and will also tame the heat of any spicier seafood dish.

Steak on a Stick

Steak on a Stick

A quick and easy, very tasty version of the teriyaki steak-on-a-stick that you get from a Chinese restaurant. It's great as an appetizer or even as finger food at a football watching party! I also use it for just plain old regular steaks to grill! Either way, it's awesome! My uncle came up with the recipe and gave it to my mother, who passed it on to me! LOVE it!
