Roasted Broccoli Kale Caesar

Caesar salad traditionally has anchovies, but not this one! I developed this recipe as a way to use up oil leftover from confit ahi. The flavor from the anchovy is replaced with that from the tuna oil. If you don’t have confit ahi laying around, you can always substitute oil from canned tuna or olive […]

Begin by making the soy glaze. It will need to cool completely in the refrigerator before use. Consisting of mostly sugar and soy sauce the […]
