market lunch

We returned home from our Saturday trip to Findley Market loaded with goodies. I love making food when the kitchen is full of fresh things. But for some reason, cooking right after shopping is a bit of a turn-off for me, especially when it's all humid and gross out. So we took inspiration from both the weather and our favorite Celebrity Chef.

First Course:



Silken tofu with soy sauce and scallions.

Entree:



Yellowfin tuna marinated in soy and seared. We used scallions again, but the fish would be great with toasted sesame seeds too. This was the Jamie Oliver contribution -- I love his food but don't always love watching him on-screen. Have you ever noticed how he misuses the word "literally" all the time? As in: "I'm going to literally chop this onion and put it in the pan." Drives. Me. Crazy.

On the side:



Salad of roasted corn, avocado, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, s&p. The corn was roasted on top of our gas stove.



Quite a yummy meal, I must say. It was also a good display of how Ben and I divide work in the kitchen. I chop; he sears; I wash; he dries; I boss; he lets me think I'm boss.
