Why stir polenta forever when this delicious recipe works beautifully? I like to roast veggies (eggplant, zucchini, onion) while the polenta bakes, then when the polenta is done, top with roasted veggies and some chopped tomatoes, some spices, and bake another 20 minutes. It's dinner.

Scallop Ceviche (Kinilaw na Scallops)
An acidic marinade is all that is needed to cook this spicy and sour scallop ceviche. You can also serve the scallops on toasted sesame crackers. As with all ceviches, the acidic marinade "cooks" the seafood without heat-and it happens pretty quickly. So it's good to make this at the last minute and set it out just before people dig in.
Thai Green Curry Chicken
This Thai green curry recipe never fails to please! It is quick and easy to make and the chicken stays moist and tender. Serve over jasmine rice for a satisfying meal.
Air Fryer Roasted Salsa
This simple restaurant-style salsa is made with vegetables that are first roasted in your air fryer. Roasting adds an extra depth of flavor, while mellowing the usual bite you'd get from the onion and garlic. If you have an air fryer with a smaller basket, you can halve the recipe or roast the veggies in 2 batches. The longer you let the salsa sit, the better it becomes!
