Before I wrtie about my recent trip to Jamaica Mon, I thought I would share a new recipe that I have now tried twice. I found this one in a great cookbook my parents gave me for Christmas. It’s a book highlighting some of Boston’s best restaurants and their most popular dishes. This was is from the Deluxe Diner.
I love to cook when I have the time. And I must admit I have become a good cook. I truly enjoy it and it makes me feel so domestic. The whole shopping for the best ingredients, and all the prep and presentation, is something I take pride in and feel is a true reflection of my profession. It’s all in the details.
I know I will be grilling these all summer. Try them with a simple green salad or something with a slightly sweet taste. The other night I served them with a fennel and avocado salad and just made a light champagne mustard vinaigrette.
Bon Appetite!
1 tbsp mustard seeds
3 tbsp applesauce (I prefer organic)
1 tbsp plain yogurt (I use Greek non fat)
2 tsps curry powder
3/4 tsps salt (kosher)
1/4 tsps cayenne pepper
1 lb lean ground turkey breast
1/4 cup chopped scallions (about 1 or 2, use the green and white parts)
Fresh mint (chopped, about 5 or 6 leaves)
2-3 tbsps peeled and grated apples (granny smith are best)
2 tbsp mango chutny (I prfer the sweet, but you could try the hot if you are the spicy type!)
Lettuce and tomates for serving
Bulkie rolls (or a brioche or portugese sweet roll)
Toast mustard seeds (this is fun – they actually pop!)
Mix applesauce, yogurt, chutney, curry, salt, and cayenne with toasted seeds.
Add turkey, scallions, mint and apple.
Make patties, but not too tight. Then grill away!
