Thai Party Wings

August 2, 2019 by Tamara Giebel Leave a Comment

Lemongrass infused Thai Party Wings are grilled and tossed with a blend of sweet and spicy Thai inspired ingredients that really pack in the flavor!

My family has a thing for chicken wings. Every so often, I like to switch up the flavor profile like these Thai inspired party wings. For me, wings have to be crispy on the outside, tender on the inside and packed with flavor. It’s a three part process consisting of marinading, grilling/frying/baking and finishing off with a toss in the bowl with desired sauce.

It’s ALL ABOUT the Lemongrass

Lemongrass is the key ingredient for infusing these wings with out of this world flavor. The lemony flavor really lifts these wings to another level, together with fresh ginger and lots of garlic. You can usually find lemongrass stalks in your grocery store. It’s next to ginger root in the produce section. Often when you get the stalks from the grocery, they have a hard woody exterior. Remove a few of the outer layers until you get down to a softer inner core. This is an important step as lemongrass stalks are fibrous and the outer layers are inedible.

If you’re following on Instagram, you may see these recipes in action. I like to share photos of what the food looks like as I’m preparing it and often show this in my Instagram Stories @theherbalistandthecarnivore

So, if you’re not sure what lemongrass looks like OR if the sauce should be packed with that many herbs and spices…check my stories and see!

Beecher’s White Cheddar Mushroom Bacon Burger

June 28, 2019 by Tamara Giebel Leave a Comment

Local to Seattle, Beecher’s white cheddar is the perfect pairing for this mushroom bacon burger with spicy arugula and creamy garlic aioli. This burger stacks high and is the ultimate in gourmet burgers, try it at your next BBQ, but you better make extra!

Beecher’s Handmade Cheese

Have you been to the Beecher’s Handmade Cheese store at Pike Place Market? You may have passed it located on the corner of Pike and Pine right across the street from Pike Place Market. Here you can watch the cheese making process in action and pick up some of my favorite cheese.

Check Them Out Here:

Beecher’s Handmade Cheese

I love the combination of sharp, tangy white cheddar with spicy arugula. Mushrooms just make it even better because they are sauteed with onions that become nice and caramelized with just a splash of balsamic, Worcestershire and thyme for that savory goodness. And then, one step further we have garlic aioli. Really it’s just a spruced up mayonnaise, but it adds the flavor that seals the deal on this gourmet burger.

Let’s Talk About Beef:

I always use GROUND SIRLOIN or GROUND CHUCK for my burgers. Why? Because it has the perfect fat ratio so your burger won’t be dry like a hockey puck. Ground chuck has the most fat, making for a super delicious burger.
