Appetizers — Sage Against the Tagine

Spicy peach, burrata and herb salad with garlicky croutons

When every element of the salad has had a flavor upgrade, you can’t help but crave this salad. The croutons are rubbed with fresh garlic. The Peaches? Marinated AND grilled. The herbs? 2 types. And do you even need a sauce when you have delicious creamy burrata already? Why the heck not. My little helper was stealing bits off the table as I was photographing this dish, and didn’t seem to mind the spice at all.

Cajun shrimp cocktail - but a dip!

This really is a version of shrimp cocktail, if you get down to the bare bones of it. But I do prefer it this way because it is just so much more casual, and not quite so dated (80’s dinner party anyone?)…You know how everyone secretly loves shrimp cocktail, but don’t really want to admit it? We don’t want that!
