    Everyday Herb Oil

    How to Make Everyday Herb Oil

    This herb infused olive oil makes a great base for a vinaigrette or a simple seasoning for fish, chicken, or vegetables. For this recipe, I use a combination of parsley, oregano, rosemary, and thyme, but you should feel free to experiment with whatever herbs you have on hand or growing in your herb garden.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Fill a medium bowl with ice water and set it nearby.
    2. Add the parsley, oregano, rosemary, and thyme leaves to the boiling water. Blanch the herbs for 10-15 seconds, then immediately remove the herbs with a slotted spoon and transfer them to the ice water. After a few seconds, remove the herbs from the ice water with a slotted spoon and pat them dry with paper towels.
    3. In a blender or food processor, puree the blanched herbs with the olive oil.
    4. Pour the herb oil into a dark-colored glass bottle or jar with a tight-fitting lid, seal the container, and set in a cool, dark place (such as your pantry) to infuse for at least 5 days. After it has been fully infused, keep the oil in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 weeks. Or freeze the herb oil in ice cube trays for future use. (Note that each ice cube is 2 tablespoons of oil.)

    How to Make Roasted Pineapple Salsa

    Pineapple and high temperatures were made for each other, and this recipe concentrates the flavors with a quick skillet roast. That said, if the weather is nice, an outdoor grill will do the job just as well. Mixed with the right amount of pepper to give a Southwestern kick, this sweet, spicy combination is especially tasty on warm tortilla chips.

    How to Make Vietnamese Cabbage And Pork Salad

    Author Robyn Webb: “I love that salad bars are now adding fresh sliced cabbage to the bins. It’s so much easier to have pre-sliced cabbage on hand to create this refreshing summer salad. Use this dressing also as a marinade for other foods such as chicken or beef.”

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Cover a broiler rack with foil. Coat the foil with cooking spray. Rub the pork with the oil, salt, and pepper. Roast the pork for about 20 minutes. Turn the oven to broil and broil the pork for about 5 minutes, turning once until a meat thermometer registers 145 degrees when inserted into the thickest part of the pork. Remove the pork from the oven to a carving board and let rest.
    2. In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, red onion, and cucumber. Whisk together the lime juice, fish sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and cayenne pepper. Add to the cabbage mixture and toss well. Cut the pork into thin slices and add to the salad and toss again.
    3. Line a platter with romaine lettuce. Pile the pork salad on top of the lettuce.
