I'm sure most...or at least some of you North Americans will be dressed in Red & White (Canadians) and Red, White & Blue (Americans) over the weekend and doing much feasting, much of it at barbecues and picnics that will showcase red, white & blue foods. Burgers are on our menu later...at least the sauce and slices of tomatoes will be red, but I couldn't wait to share this particular recipe for BBQ sauce....you will thank me... and Anthony Sedlak, chef and host of The Main on the Food Network, author of The Main {Recipes} I will be writing more about the book, very soon.
When I was licking the spoon, I had visions of Anthony Sedak's Spicy Bourbon BBQ Sauce becoming a tradition at your house, just as it will at mine. In fact, I can already see it as the perfect slather for BBQ ribs and chicken.
Although this Smoked Mackerel & Scallion Tart, might not have the colours right, it will be remembered long after any brunch or buffet supper you serve it at. I actually had a back up plan in mind when I made this because my Honey is not that fond of fish (other than battered haddock, salmon fillets and tilapia), but I was wrong and he even had seconds! It. Is. That. Good.
And I have to show off my homemade Pate Brisee crust that enveloped it. Light, flaky and easy to work with. What more could I ask for.
As well as the homemade Creme Fraiche.
The finished tart might not be red, white & blue, but it is spectacular! It's a perfect marriage of smoked fish, fresh herbs, rich creme fraiche and light flaky crust.
No matter what you'll be serving wherever you might be - have a happy weekend. And don't forget that I'm hosting Presto Pasta Night tomorrow. Please send me your entries by midnight tonight - ruth (at) 4everykitchen (dot) com.
POST SCRIPT: Anthony's "World Famous" Burgers were pretty darn tasty, especially with his wonderful Spicy Bourbon BBQ Sauce and a double layering of sweet Vidalia onion slices.
