I just made "Double Chocolate Dream Cookies" from scratch and they are awesome. Does this mean that I should expect a giant Milwaukee's Best can to come crashing through my apartment ceiling any second?

 I think if you jumpkick your wife and then bake the cookies you're still considered a man.

I made this once and it rocked.




ISLAND PORK TENDERLOIN SALAD

Active time: 1 1/4 hr Start to finish: 1 1/4 hr

For pork
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 pork tenderloins (2 1/4 to 2 1/2 lb total)
2 tablespoons olive oil

For glaze
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
1 tablespoon Tabasco

For vinaigrette
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon curry powder, toasted
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup olive oil

For salad
3 navel oranges
5 oz baby spinach, trimmed (6 cups leaves)
4 cups thinly sliced Napa cabbage (from 1 medium head)
1 red bell pepper, cut lengthwise into thin strips
1/2 cup golden raisins
2 firm-ripe California avocados

Prepare pork:
Preheat oven to 350°F.

Stir together salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, and cinnamon, then coat pork with spice rub.

Heat oil in an ovenproof 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until just beginning to smoke, then brown pork, turning, about 4 minutes total. Leave pork in skillet.

Make glaze and roast pork:
Stir together brown sugar, garlic, and Tabasco and pat onto top of each tenderloin. Roast in middle of oven until thermometer inserted diagonally in center of each tenderloin registers 140°F, about 20 minutes. Let pork stand in skillet at room temperature 10 minutes. (Temperature will rise to about 155°F while standing.)

Make vinaigrette while pork roasts:
Whisk together juices, mustard, curry powder, salt, and pepper, then add oil in a stream, whisking until emulsified.

Prepare salad ingredients while pork stands:
Cut peel, including white pith, from oranges with a sharp knife, then cut oranges crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Toss spinach, cabbage, bell pepper, and raisins in a large bowl with about 1/4 cup vinaigrette. Halve, pit, and peel avocados, then cut diagonally into 1/4-inch-thick slices.

Assemble salad:
Cut pork at a 45-degree angle into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Line a large platter with dressed salad and arrange sliced pork, oranges, and avocados in rows on top. Drizzle some vinaigrette over avocados and oranges. Pour any juices from skillet over pork.

Makes 6 to 8 main-course servings.

Dig the brown sugar & tabasco glaze on the tenderloin. That was a nice touch.

Where would I be without Gourmet magazine? Nowhere, that's where.

I'm not a huge fan of pork tenderloin, especially considering how expensive it is, but the spices and the glaze on that salad sound like they'd be superb. I think I'm going to make it this weekend. Thanks for posting it.

Here's my favorite recipe at the moment. I made it once during the summer and I made it again recently when I had friends over for dinner.

SPICY LAMB AND LENTILS

1 pound lamb shoulder, well trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup red wine vinegar (I use balsamic instead)
4 large garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon firmly packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 cup lentils
1 3/4 cups canned unsalted chicken broth

Combine first 10 ingredients in large bowl and let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.

Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 325°F. Bring lentils and broth to boil in heavy medium saucepan over high heat. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until lentils are just tender, about 30 minutes.

Add lamb and marinade to lentils and blend well. Bring to simmer. Cover and bake until lamb is tender, about 50 minutes. Spoon off any fat from surface. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serves 4.

Bon Appétit Light and Easy, Special Edition

 lukie, i've had sushi a few times. If I order something like a tuna roll + its fancy name, what are the health stats/avg price on that? I got a few local sushi places and could start gettiing rolls to go when walking back from the gym.

I just saw this, I'll answer it since Lukie didn't. You probably won't be able to get toro (the fancy kind of tuna) at most of your local sushi places, only at the really upscale sushi bars. It costs around $5 per piece and it's by far the most delicious thing I've ever tasted. If you're just getting lunch on the way back from the gym, you might pay between $5 and $10 for a roll (which usually has 6-8 pieces). Sushi is actually really healthy, I think each piece has somewhere between 50-100 calories and lots of nutrients.

Ive really come to like sushi A LOT, but I need to learn more about it. I do know that I hate cooked stuff, like tempura shrimp rolls, completely ruins the whole point of sushi. The one exception is this lobster roll I had, that was quite good, but its just cooked not freid. At first I always liked to order the crazy rolls with all sorts of stuff in them because I was afraid of the raw fish. I still like these rolls, but Ive come to really apprecaite the fish itself, and just plain spicy tuna or salmon rolls are so much better to me now. I still havent tried those things that arent rolls, where its just like rice and the fish on top, maybe next time.

Anything with rice is called sushi (zushi).

maki sushi - rolls
nigiri sushi - little pads of sushi rice with pieces of fish on top

sashimi - just the fish.

I love maguro, which is tuna in nigiri sushi form. Also toro (fatty tuna) and albacore are very good, IMO. I like sake (salmon) nigiri sushi as well, but some folks just don't like salmon. Yellowtail (hamachi) can be quite nice, but it is a bit more hit and miss than the tuna. Tai (red snapper) is just OK to me. The ones I really avoid are the mackerel (saba - too "fishy" tasting) and sweet shrimp (abaebi - raw shrimp just has a disgusting texture).

I pretty much avoid rolls because you can't taste the fish as easily, IMO.

I like some crazy 'themed' rolls, like this one called the mexican at the place I ate at in boston was really good. Its true you cant taste the fish as much, and sometimes barely at all, but they are good in thier own way. I like these because the veggies add a different type of freshness. The fish has a freshness of its own, but some crisp veggies in there just add another dimension.

Seaking of freshness this is why I hate tempura rolls and stuff, it just ruins it. It tastes so horrible.

Anyways Ill definatley be ordering some nigiri next time I go. I think I have similar tastes to you though. I love tuna and salmon, but other things seem too fishy to me when raw. And just from looking at the raw shrimp I know I wouldnt like it.
