Slather. Mince. Repeat.

After about a few weeks of pestering I finally managed to figure out what my brother wanted to do for his birthday this year and of course it involved Sriracha. We more or less stuck to his original plan of appetizers at my place then hitting up the brewery up the street for beer and skeeball, but we made a few minor adjustments along the way….
For this year’s Father’s Day dessert, I wanted to make something that wasn’t massively time consuming but that would be a great compliment to the rack of lamb that I was planning on making as the main dish. Last year I tackled the crème brûlée, which was a lot of fun, but this year I wanted to make a dessert that was equally as crowd pleasing but not nearly as heavy and regret-inducing….
My favorite thing about this salsa is how versatile it is. It can be used to top some crunchy tortilla chips, add a little zing to your tacos, slathered on a breakfast burrito, or even eaten by itself with a spoon. I’ve been known to do this for “taste testing purposes”….
Sunday evenings in my family have always been the time that we all get together to eat some delicious food, drink some tasty wine, and just enjoy the last few hours of the weekend before we catch up on our favorite shows. (aka Silicon Valley and Veep these days)….
For me, any holiday celebration, no matter what it is, revolves around what food I’m going to be serving. Big surprise there, I know. Fourth of July is a tough one because when you have a crowd like we did this year, it makes serving up some grilled steaks not very feasible for the wallet (or frankly my patience), burgers tend to be a little to bland, and hotdogs just aren’t very exciting….
