Seven Heavenly Meals

Here is a week of meals that will make you think you are eating somewhere really special every night.  Well face it, you are, your home. 

Fennel-and-Sweet-Onion Pizza 

If you think fennel does not belong on a pizza, then you would be wrong.  This roasted fennel is an unexpected delight.  The crust is also wonderful.  It is maybe the best homemade thin crust pizza recipe ever, so crispy and yummy.  

Fried Shrimp Flatbreads with Spicy Cardamom Sauce

If you like a good sandwich, this one may just top your list.  So much flavor!  Use this flatbread recipe.

Smashed Shumai with Hot and Sour Broth

This is a nice unusual soup, serve as a first course or as a quick dinner.  Just as good the second day for lunch!

Thai Chicken with Hot-Sour-Salty-Sweet Sauce

Great grilled chicken. Serve with grilled sweet corn.  Baste the corn while grilling in a mixture of 2 tablespoons brown sugar, can of coconut milk, and two bay leaves.

Crispy Corn Tortillas with Chicken and Cheddar

This is a very easy recipe, I serve it with the radish relish and with an avocado sauce (one avocado blended with 1/2 cup salsa verde)

Grilled Pork Banh Mi

This would be a really good thing to grill for the Fourth of July.

Goat Cheese Ravioli With Orange And Fennel

This is a great recipe to make right after the pizza and Shumai recipe because then you have the fennel fronds and the wanton wrappers.
