the Older Bolder Life Vegetable Wednesday 1 August: Quick Pickled Beets (and Onions)

August 1, 2018 By Older Bolder Mark

Growing up in a fairly austere food-household in my younger years, I’m not sure at what point I developed a taste for pickled beets. One of my grandmothers was an avid gardner and she loved to “put up” all sorts of pickled goods; her cucumber pickles (fermented dills, sweets, as well as bread and butters) were great, as were her pickled okra and “dilly beans”.

She made her pickled beets in small, crinkle-cut cubes; they were over-sweetened by primal / paleo standards but fit the cuisine of the day in South Texas, but man, oh man, they were astoundingly good.

She liked to add a bit of red or sweet onion to her pickled beets, and we do too.

We like to mix it up a bit when making quick pickles out of various root vegetables (try radishes sometime) by varying the spices we add, hence the list of consider adding spices below. Try various combinations and find your (or your family’s) favorite(s), and by all means vary the vinegars as well. The recipe below is scaled for a single quart jar by the way.

With beets coming into the farmer’s markets now, it’s time to “put some up” as my grandmother used to say…

3-4 medium size beets, trimmed
1 small red onion, trimmed, peeled, thinly sliced
1 cup apple cider vinegar
or
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar + 1/2 cup unseasoned rice wine vinegar
1 bay leaf
1/4 tsp pickling salt

Water as needed

Consider adding
1 tbsp pickling spice mix
Cloves (1 or 2)
Allspice berries (2-4)
Peppercorns (3-6)
A cinnamon stick
Honey (1-2 tbsp)

Trim the beets, wash (scrub) them thoroughly, throw in a pot and cover with water; bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 30-40 minutes until they can be easily pierced with a fork or knife.

Remove the beets from the heat, drain and rinse with cold water; when cool enough to handle, slip off the skins, and slice into approximately 1/4-inch thick slices.

Start a pot over medium heat with the vinegar(s), bay leaf, salt, and whatever spices from the “consider adding” list you want to try. Stir the honey in if using. When boiling, turn off the heat and set aside.

While the vinegar mixture is heating up, take a sterilized one-quart canning jar and layer the sliced beets and onions in artfully, taking care to pack fairly tightly. When full, pour the just-boiled liquids over the beets, leaving about 1/2-inch headspace.

Leave on the counter to cool, then screw on the lid and into the fridge they go. The beets will be better a day or two down the road, but will be tasty within a few hours of setting them up. With appropriate cautions, they’re probably good for up to two weeks, but ours never last that long.

Enjoy.

the Older Bolder Life Salsa (Sauce) Sunday 29 July: Quick Columbian Aji Sauce

July 29, 2018 By Older Bolder Mark

While I have to admit that I’ve never dined anywhere in Columbia, our friends in the know shared this recipe with us several years ago to enjoy with this Columbian Marinated Flank.

This tasty Aji Sauce is supposedly a kissing cousin of the delicious Brazilian Chimichurri sauce, another favorite of ours, though we’ve come to appreciate the sharp spiciness of this Aji recipe even more.

If you’re handy with some simple knife work, this one can be together in under five minutes; we’ve eaten it with just about every protein imaginable, but it seems to shine with beef, pork, and firm, white-fleshed fish. And as always, if you want a bit more heat, pile on the peppers…

4 large jalapenos, stemmed, seeded, and roughly chopped
3 large green onions, roughly chopped
1/2 sweet onion, roughly chopped
1/2 cup cilantro, roughly chopped
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tbsp lime juice, fresh preferred
3/4 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper

Throw the jalapenos, green onions, sweet onion, and cilantro into your trusty food processor and puree until a coarse paste forms. Add the vinegar and pulse again.

Now pour/scrape into a small bowl, and stir in the lime juice, salt, and pepper, adjust with more of each to suit your palate.

Throw in the fridge, covered, until ready to use; best made close to your meal.

Enjoy.

the Older Bolder Life Friday Feast 27 July: Judy’s Grilled Salmon

July 27, 2018 By Older Bolder Mark

Several weeks ago when posting this recipe for Lemony Spiced Salmon Kabobs, I shared about a clandestine fresh Alaskan salmon connection we had years ago up in Salt Lake City –

Years ago, living and working in the Salt Lake City valley, we befriended a couple who, among a bevy of interesting quirks, were partners with another guy in a small Alaskan fishing business.

This ‘other guy’ had a boat and spent a fair part of every summer up there and fished (commercially); he sold some of his take to the big canneries, but some, he packed up on ice in coolers, threw on a direct Delta flight, and were then sold by our friends out of their garage, most often 24 hours or less out of the water. And at prices far, far less than local fish markets (there weren’t multiple hands clamoring to take a cut out of the pie).

The halibut was amazing, but the salmon was simply stunning.

The guy’s wife, a wonderful woman named Judy, taught us this quick and easy marinade for salmon the first summer after we’d met. We like to set it up the night before grilling, and it’s well worth using a handful of fresh dill in the marinade. We like to stir in a tbsp or more of chili garlic paste (it adds a very subtle but discernible note), and while Judy’s original recipe called for a tbsp of brown sugar, we don’t miss it all leaving it out these days.

1-2 wild caught salmon fillet(s), pin bones removed

1 cup soy or tamari
Juice of one large lemon
1/2 lemon cut into thin rounds
1 bunch fresh dill, trimmed
1/4 cup olive or avocado oil

Optional
1 tbsp oriental chili paste or chili garlic paste
1 tbsp brown sugar or maple syrup

Prep your salmon (pull those pin bones!) and combine all the marinade ingredients, then pour into a large, flat container. Lay the salmon flesh side down in the marinade, cover, and throw in the fridge.

When ready to grill, fire the grill, drain and discard the marinade, and grill skin side down first on an oiled grill for 3-4 minutes, then turn and cook for another minute or two until done to suit your clan. Great hot off the grill or chilled for the next day’s salad.

Enjoy.

the Older Bolder Life Vegetable Wednesday 25 July: Versatile Vegetable Kimchi

July 25, 2018 By Older Bolder Mark

Recognizing that it’s supposed to be hot during the dog days of high summer, the past few weeks here (just north of the DFW metroplex) have been scorching – 112 on the hottest day in our little neighborhood.

We find ourselves reach more and more for something crisp and cool to accompany proteins for dinner, and while slaws and salads are on the menu often, we sometimes get a hankering for something with a bit more flavor and acidity.

We’d played with making traditional kimchi in years past, though had our eyes opened to pushing the kimchi boundaries a bit after fighting over the last bit of collard green kimchi on a butter bean hummus plate at Ida Claire in Dallas a couple of years ago (served with a great array of vegetables by the way).

At one point I reached out to chef friend Libby in Austin to pick her brain about kimchi, and she suggested we try her quick Versatile Vegetable Kimchi recipe below. She noted that she makes it with what ever vegetables look good and are handy, including cucumbers, carrots, radishes, beets, and even turnips.

She offered up a few key pieces of additional advice as well, including a reminder that the recipe is best considered to be a framework to start from– e.g. if you like more ginger, put it in, and that if you’re going to age it longer than a few days, it’s probably best not to use the darkest green parts of your scallions as they tend to get a bit slimy the longer they sit in the pot or jar. She serves it within a few days of stirring a batch together at catering events, as the taste is milder; the longer you let it sit in the fridge, the taste gets a bit more “funky” as fermentation works its magic.

2 lb cucumbers, ends trimmed, cut into 3/4 inch pieces
3 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon sugar

10 scallions, cut on diagonal into 1 inch pieces, use the white and pale green sections
1/3 cup (or more) gochugaru (Korean red chile flakes, coarse) OR
1.5 tablespoons crushed red pepper flakes, ground
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
1 tablespoons fish sauce

Veg options: radishes, carrots, beets, turnips, string beans, asparagus

Toss your prepped vegetable of choice, the salt, and sugar in a large bowl; now let it sit (covered with a clean towel) at room temperature for 2-3 hours to begin to pull some water out of the vegetables.

Add the remainder of the ingredients, stirring to mix well and make sure everything is coated.

Spoon into clean quart jars, making sure to divide the liquid equally among the jars, leaving about an inch of headspace. Cover loosely and leave on the counter (out of direct sunlight) for up to two days to begin the magic of fermentation. YOU CAN of course start eating on a jar right away, seems like we always do…

Once you’re happy with evidence of fermentation, throw in the fridge, where the flavors will deepen and mature over the next week as fermentation slowly moves onward. Supposedly this will keep for up to two months in the fridge; we can’t ever make it that long (they only last about a week or so in our kitchen).

Enjoy.

the Older Bolder Life Salad Sunday 22 July: Ring the Bell (Pepper) Salad

July 22, 2018 By Older Bolder Mark

Here’s another incredible offering from the kitchen of our catering chef buddy Libby in Austin – her Ring the Bell (Pepper) Salad.

Great looking bell peppers are available in abundance right now; she (and we) like to use orange, yellow, and red peppers as they make for a stunning presentation with the onion and herbs, and they simply taste great.

It’s easy as pie to stir together, and you can sub in whatever herbs float your boat, though this is the original recipe as written from Libby. She occasionally crumbles in some feta or Cotija cheese (my wife prefers the feta), and we like it best with a really good avocado oil drizzled in…

2 orange bell peppers, thinly sliced into rings
2 yellow bell peppers, thinly sliced into rings
2 red bell peppers, thinly sliced into rings
1 medium red onion, halved and thinly sliced
3 tbsp red wine vinegar (or Sherry vinegar)
Good salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

1/3 cup fresh chives, chopped
1/3 cup fresh basil, chopped
1/3 cup fresh parsley (flat leaf), chopped
1/3 cup fresh mint, chopped
Optional: 1 tsp fresh thyme
2-3 tbsp EVOO or good avocado oil

Optional: Crumble in some good feta or Cotija cheese just before serving

This one couldn’t be easier to put together. Wash and slice the bell peppers, then combine with the sliced red onion. Sprinkle with the vinegar, salt, and pepper, toss to coat, then let them sit for 15-20 minutes to soften and absorb a bit of the vinegar.

When ready to serve, add the herbs and oil, toss to coat, and go to it.

Enjoy.

the Older Bolder Life Friday Feast 20 July: Ancho Grilled Leg of Lamb

July 20, 2018 By Older Bolder Mark

Last week we shared a quick discussion about road trip foods; the concepts would of course apply to those camping or exploring new territory otherwise ensconced in a hotel or vacation rental.

One of the foods we like to take along, certainly in the warmer months of the year, is a grilled leg of lamb. There are a host of great ways to prepare and grill a leg of lamb; we love traditional Greek flavors around our camp, though we reach for this Ancho Grilled Leg of Lamb three out of four times lamb is on the menu.

You need to plan ahead a bit, as it’s much better soaking in the marinade overnight (up to 24 hours). And it’s very much worth tracking down fresh oregano and genuine ancho chile powder (check the Hispanic foods aisle at your favorite grocer, spices and chiles are often much more reasonably priced there). Don’t be afraid of the garlic amount either; when we originally pilfered this recipe from Chef Libby in Austin, her’s called for 14-16 cloves!

By the way, this is great hot of the grill, and maybe even better chilled the next few days.

1 cup white wine
1/3 cup good olive oil
6 tbsp fresh oregano
2 green onions
10 garlic cloves, peeled
3 tbsp ancho chile powder
3 tbsp good blended chili powder
4 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 and 1/2 tbsp kosher salt
1 generous tbsp fresh ground black pepper

1- 4 to 5 pound, grass-fed leg of lamb, trimmed and butterflied

Combine everything (but the lamb!) in your trusty blender and blend well; add more wine if too thick. Slather the leg of lam in the marinade, rubbing it into the nooks and crannies; place the leg of lamb (covered in all of the marinade) in the fridge overnight, consider using a two-gallon plastic bag to ensure better coverage. Turn it once before you go to bed and again in the morning.

Fire your grill, and note you’ll need a fire with some staying power; we like this over oak and natural hardwood charcoal. Gently shake excess marinade from the lamb (but don’t shake it all off) and let it rumble along for 15-18 minutes per side. It’s medium rare at 130 though you’ll want this big piece of meat to rest for 15 minutes or so.

Once rested, artfully slice thinly against the grain and pour some of those incredible pan juices that oozed out while it was resting over it. Holy smoke, that’s good.

Enjoy.

the Older Bolder Life Salad Wednesday 18 July: Quick Chinese Cucumber Salad

July 18, 2018 By Older Bolder Mark

Here’s another quick and easy salad featuring one of the stars of summer – fresh cucumbers – and some of our clan’s favorite flavors from the orient.

The black rice vinegar provides a great counterpoint to the spice of the chili oil and the earthy nuttiness of the toasted sesame oil, and the bundle of flavors play incredibly well with the cucumbers (and the herbal cilantro).

We enjoy it more with a bit more spice, hence the recommendation for the pinch of red pepper flakes or a seeded and chopped serrano (or your favorite pepper), try it with and without to see which suits you better.

6 kirby or Persian cucumbers, or 2 big English cucumbers
2 tbsp Chinkiang (Chinese black rice) vinegar
2-3 tsp good, spicy chili oil
2 tsp toasted sesame oil
1/2 tsp good salt, more to taste
2 tsp toasted sesame seeds
4 tbsp cilantro leaves
4 tbsp roasted unsalted peanuts, chopped

Optional: 1 tsp turbinado sugar, pinch of red pepper flakes or a fresh pepper, chopped

In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, chili oil, sesame oil, salt, and red pepper flakes/sugar if using, set aside once the salt and sugar have dissolved.

Cut the cucumbers in half lengthwise, seed if desired (certainly the English cucs if using), the lay flat on a your cutting board and either whack with a rolling pin or press down on them with the blade of a large chef’s knife to crack the cucumbers in several places. Now cut the cucs (crosswise) into approximately 1/2-inch slices (like a little half-moon).

Add the cucumbers (and fresh peppers if using) to the dressing mix, toss gently, and serve, topping each serving with a bit of the toasted sesame seeds, cilantro, and peanuts.

Cheers.

the Older Bolder Life Salsa Sunday 15 July: Libby’s Creamy Avocado

July 15, 2018 By Older Bolder Mark

Here’s another nifty, avocado-based, dip slash topping slash table salsa slash magic sauce from our compadre Chef Libby down in Austin – Libby’s Creamy Avocado (or Avocado Crema as she likes to prepare it).

Avocados, packed with healthy fats and little soluble carbohydrate baggage, and most importantly, bursting with incredible flavor, end up on the menu around our camp just about every day, even more so during these blistering days of high summer.

Libby serves this not only as a dip (and not just for chips, think for a cold, crispy crudite plate too) but a topping on a spicy grilled chicken breast she often preps for her catering gigs; we’ve just had it on a tropically-spiced, sautéed (grilled would be awesome too) mahi fillet here at home in the past week too.

For those looking to up the game a bit, try sourcing (or making) some genuine crema to sub in for the sour cream…

2 firm-ripe avocados, flesh only
1/2 cup full-fat sour cream (maybe a touch more…) OR genuine crema
2 tbsp good, extra-virgin olive oil
2 tbsp good apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp + 2 tbsp fresh cilantro leaves, rough chopped
2 tbsp fennel fronds, chopped fine, optional more for serving
Good salt to taste
Juice from one big lime quarter

Optional – add 1/2 to 1 stemmed and seeded serrano

Into your trusty food processor goes the avocado flesh, sour cream, EVOO, apple cider vinegar, first two tbsp cilantro, and first two tbsp fennel fronds.

Process until smooth; if not thick enough to suit you, add a bit of sour cream, if too thick, add a bit of EVOO or vinegar.

Season to taste with salt; pour into your serving bowl, sprinkle with the additional cilantro and fennel, spritz with the lime juice, and go to it.

Enjoy.

Ranked by their ORAC scores (oxygen radical absorption capacity - a bench top measure), the winners are elderberries, wild blueberries, raw cranberries, blackberries, and gogi berries. Fruit has its baggage (we’re looking at you fructose), but thoughtfully added to your meal plan, it brings a host of great benefits.

Just posted an interesting look at the five fruits Just posted an interesting look at the five fruits packing the most antioxidant punch on the blog today (link in bio). Ranked by their ORAC scores (oxygen radical absorption capacity - a bench top measure), the winners are elderberries, wild blueberries, raw cranberries, blackberries, and gogi berries. Fruit has its baggage (we’re looking at you fructose), but thoughtfully added to your meal plan, it brings a host of great benefits.

Being the kind of person that has never met a jala Being the kind of person that has never met a jalapeno popper I didn't like, when these Grilled Jalapeno Poppers with Smoked Gouda popped up on our radar I simply couldn't resist. #Gouda is a great melting cheese, superbly flavored, and readily available; fresh jalapenos are flooding into markets these days too. Don't forget a spritz of fresh lime juice, some chopped cilantro, and a really nice coarse salt for these hot off the grill. Recipe on the blog (link in bio) on Wednesday this week. See you on the back porch around the grill tonight. #jalapenos #jalapenopoppers #grill

For the Older Bolder salad Monday today I've poste For the Older Bolder salad Monday today I've posted a recipe (link in bio) for this quick Italian dressing, based around fresh oregano, parsley, and thyme, that's shockingly close to the dressing served on their house salad by a(n) (in)famous Italian chain eatery. This is far, far better, and comes together in under 5 minutes if you're pretty handy prepping those fresh herbs. Don't forget your homemade avocado or olive oil mayo for this one too. Cheers.

Some days you really do have to stop and smell the Some days you really do have to stop and smell the roses; I walked by this overgrown, wild-assed rose bush on my walk this morning and couldn’t help but stop, soak up the beauty and the scents, and grab a few pictures. You don’t need a mindfulness app, trainer, guru, or training - you just need to pay attention to the world unfolding around you. Go find some roses to smell today.

Today’s Friday Feast is this amazing Hanger Stea Today’s Friday Feast is this amazing Hanger Steak Bulgogi Bowl (recipe posted on the blog this morning, link in bio). Hanger steaks, like their kissing cousins skirt steaks, derive from the diaphragm though are much more tender and flavorful than skirt - which is still our favorite #fajita cut on the planet. I put this bowl together last weekend before heading down to Austin with our Asian Fried Cauliflower Rice; hot damn, was it tasty. And it’s a simple prep and cook to boot.

How about this colorful and fresh Green Bean Nicoi How about this colorful and fresh Green Bean Nicoise Salad for lunch or dinner today? Just posted the recipe on the blog this morning, I have to admit it's one of the more creative salads we've done at home in a while, and the bright, lemon-based dressing is amazing. A great thing about this recipe is it can be done in stages and held in the fridge, then assembled right before serving. With or without some wild-caught tuna on the platter, this one is a meal in itself. You'll want to try this one. #nicoisesalad #greenbeans #wildcaughttuna #lemon #olderbolderfitness #olderbolderlife #primal

Rubbing shoulders with some of the bigs is always inspiring and a great opportunity to learn, test and integrate new ideas, and stretch your goals and the horizon a bit. A rainy day on tap today won't dampen enthusiasm to hear @marksissonprimal and @christinehassler. #primalhealthcoachmasterclass #ketogains #learn

Posted a new recipe on the blog (link in bio) toda Posted a new recipe on the blog (link in bio) today for this tasty #turmeric #tzatziki; it comes together in just a few minutes and has been delicious on crudite and several grilled meats. My lovely wife would probably eat tzatziki at every meal if given the chance, and this one might be her new favorite. By the way, it's equally good made with the more authentic Greek yogurt as well as a full fat sour cream.
