Karina Bazan

Last time we talked to Karina Bazan it was to discuss the work that was being undertaken to try to get a law passed to penalize cruelty to animals. Well that is history as the law is now in place, not just for the likes of domestic cruelty but in Panama it is now against the law to use animals for testing, which makes Panama a leader in animal protection. (check out the full law here)


 

After a week off due to the May Day holiday we have Feisty Foodie Sara Solomon with us. The topic is easy recipes for Mothers Day. Check out the following (after the news segment below) to make the day special. (Mothers Day in Panama though is celebrated on the 8th of December).

 Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese Frittata

Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped chives
  • 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 ounces smoked salmon, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • Serving suggestion: Crispy potatoes and mesclun salad

Directions

  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.
  • Whisk the eggs, milk, dill, salt, pepper, and chives together in a bowl. Using two spoons or your fingers, separate the cream cheese into small clumps. Fold the cream cheese and salmon into the egg mixture. Make sure everything is well combined.
  • Heat the oil in a medium non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, and stir lightly to make sure the fillings are evenly arranged in the pan. Cook until the bottom is set, but not brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the top is set, about 8 minutes. Remove from the oven, cover, and set aside for 5 minutes.
  • Invert the frittata (if you can) onto a large plate. If you can’t invert it, run a spatula around the sides and loosen the bottom to slide it out. Cut into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature

 

TIP:  You can substitute mostly any meat or cheese, try ham and swiss or bacon and Cheddar!  You can also swap out the herbs for chives or basil.

Egg in a Hole – This is one of my favourites!   Fast and fun!

Pan de huevo

Butter

Eggs

Shot glass (to cut the hole out)

Salt and pepper

 

  • Cut the center out of the bread
  • Fry the bread and holes in butter on a griddle or in a pan
  • Crack eggs into separate bowls
  • Once the bread is nicely toasted, flip it over and add another touch of butter in the hole
  • Drop the eggs into the center – s & p
  • Flip after about 45 seconds while the yellow is soft and the white is cooked
  • Cook on the other side about 30 seconds, serve with the buttery, toasted holes

 

TIP:  My kids love extra holes, so cut a 2 extra pieces of bread.  Or use a heart or flower shaped cookie cutter!

Easy Bacon method for Feeding a Crowd: In the Oven

Make this your go-to method when you need bacon for a big group and don’t want to bother making multiple batches. Plus, there’s no turning and cleanup is simple.

  1. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment paper, and lay out as many bacon strips as will fit snuggly without overlapping.
  2. Place in a cold oven. Then heat the oven to 400 degrees F and bake to desired crispness, 25 to 35 minutes.
  3. Drain well on a paper-towel-lined platter.

Try the Microwave, if you’re using the oven

When you need only a few pieces of bacon for a burger or BLT, this is a quick and easy way to go.

  1. Line a microwave-safe plate with 2 layers of paper towels.
  2. Lay out the bacon strips without overlapping. Cover with 2 more paper towels.
  3. Cook in the microwave on high to desired crispness, 4 to 6 minutes. Since the strips cook on paper towels, no draining is necessary.

Mimosa tips:

  • Use a dry sparkling wine, not sweet, try a Cava or dry Prosecco
  • Equal parts
  • Top with Grand Marnier or triple sec
  • Make sure both the wine and the OJ are chilled
