Chicken Lil' Lil' Dom
Thank you to Chef Dominic Bossone of the Squan Tavern for sharing this flavorful recipe featuring artichoke hearts and chicken cutlets dressed in fresh butter and herbs. First saute the cutlets in butter until just cooked through then remove from the pan. Add the artichoke hearts and herbs, some chicken stock and a splash of white wine. Serve over the pasta of your choice. Delicioso!

Saltine Toffee Cookies
These little goodies have been known to try to day sail around Barnegat Bay although submitter Betsy says they don't usually make it very far before being gobbled up. With only four more ingredients on a saltine cracker base, they are quick to make and quicker to disappear.
Melt butter and brown sugar together.
Pour over a layer of saltine crackers and spread to the edges.
Bake, then frost with melting chocolate chips and sprinkle with chopped pecans. Cool before you eat. (We did not find this part to be easy.) Sweet!
The complete recipe will be in the Savoring the Shore cookbook to benefit NJ Sandy relief. We're seeking recipes from all shore lovers--home cooks and chefs.

Insalata di Arance
Thank you to Joe Leone for sharing this favorite recipe for St. Joseph's feast days on March 16 and May 1. This salad is brimming with the flavors of blood oranges, red onion, and cured black olives tossed with baby arugula and dressed with olive oil and a bit of seasoning. What a wonderful way to welcome spring on the calendar anyway! This recipe will appear in the upcoming Savoring the Shore cookbook. All shore lovers--home cooks and chefs alike, please share your recipe today to benefit Sandy relief. Thank you in advance!
Chef Dan's Mom's Famous Meat Pie
Chef Dan of Spring Lake Heights has shared his Mom's famous meat pie recipe with Savoring the Shore. He remembers her serving it around St. Patrick's Day, so we did too. It is amazing! The complete recipe will appear in the upcoming Savoring the Shore cookbook to benefit Sandy relief.
The pie filling is prepared by browning beef brisket and adding carrots, peas, potatoes, onions and wonderful seasonings like fresh rosemary. The filling then simmers until tender.
The filling is then poured into a pie crust. A topcrust is added and the pie bakes for 25 minutes.
The result is a meat pie that melts in your mouth. There were no leftovers at our house! Shore lovers--visitors, residents, home cooks and chefs, please submit your recipes to benefit Sandy relief. Happy eating!
Blue Cheese, Prosciutto & Rocket Bruschetta
This bruschetta is really fresh and good and quick to make. We made with arugula and toasted walnut pieces that we had on hand, and the results were delicious. We had it for dinner, and it would be a great lunch too. The full recipe will be in the upcoming Savoring the Shore cookbook.
Nancy's Fish to Shore
This fresh fish recipe will appear in full in the upcoming Savoring the Shore cookbook to benefit Sandy relief (please share your recipe today). It comes together in a snap and is delicious. It starts with ground fresh cracker crumbs, which we did in our new favorite grinder but could easily have pounded in a plastic bag.
The fish is topped first with a touch of mayonnaise and then the crumbs.
Then season and bake.
We like ours golden, but bake to taste. Yum!
