Ingredient intrigue :: Sorrel & Black Garlic
Scooting out quickly this afternoon to do a grocery shop for tonight's dinner, I spotted two ingredients that I'd never used before and to be quite honest, wasn't really sure what to do with. Sorrel, a lemony leaf herb that's actually poisonous in extreme doses, and black garlic, a fermented version of white garlic with a rich molasses-tone often used in Asian dishes. So what's a girl to do? Always up for a bit of culinary experimentation, I snapped them right up. First on deck, sorrel. I was already planning on making a simple frittata for dinner and thought the lemony, sharp flavor would be perfect to toss in with sauteed red bell peppers and mushrooms. The final result: pretty fantastic and finished in under 20 minutes.
A good drizzle of olive oil + chopped red bell pepper & asparagus + 2 stalks of spring garlic & a bit of diced hot pepper + chopped cremini mushrooms & 1 small bunch of sorrel torn into pieces. Saute up the red bell pepper and asparagus, add in the spring garlic, hot pepper, sorrel and mushrooms. Saute on medium-high heat for about 8 to 10 minutes or so. Whisk 6 eggs and season with cracked pepper and salt. Pour into the skillet, evenly covering the vegetable mixture. Turn the heat down to medium and cook the eggs about 5 minutes. Finish the frittata under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes.

A Lazy Weekend Lunch
It's hard to think of many things better than lounging around the house on a weekend morning/afternoon. A good cup of coffee, an energizing egg sandwich topped with the last of summer's tomatoes and basil on a lovely lil' roll from Hot Bread Kitchen, and the weekend NY Times....instant relaxation and rejuvenation for the week to come.
Happy lazy Sunday!
