Grapefruit Carpaccio

Usually, carpaccio refers to meat or fish that is pounded thin and served raw. But with the grapefruit thinly sliced and spread across the bottom of a plate, this simple carpaccio recipe has a visual similarity that cannot be ignored.

Summer Salad Nicoise

The core ingredients of this French salad have stayed the same— tuna or anchovies, potatoes, vegetables, and a bright and herby dressing, but a host of variations have evolved over the years. This hearty salad is not only a full meal, but it also makes wonderful leftovers.

Red Chile Mezcal BBQ Pulled Pork

HDT BBQ Pulled Pork roasted sauced and ready to eat

This bbq pulled pork turns your classic american backyard barbecue into a Southwest-themed party by kicking up the flavors with red chile and mezcal. This slow-cooked meat is perfect on toasted buns, tortillas, crispy taco shells, or on your favorite southwest salad.

Pistachio Panna Cotta

Panna Cotta, a popular Italian dessert with origins from the Piedmont region, literally translates to “cooked cream”. But being that New Mexico is one of the three states that grow pistachios in the country, I thought it would be fun to combine my love of both in this pistachio panna cotta.

Citrus Salad with Crispy Prosciutto

This citrus salad is easy to make but doesn’t taste like it. The romaine is clean and crunchy, arugula adds a hint of pepper, the sharp bite of radicchio plays against the bright acidity of the orange and grapefruit, crispy prosciutto adds texture and a perfect hit of salt, while the parmesan and shallot act as very good friends, keeping the salad grounded and sensible.
