Spice Sake Pickles

Spicy Sake Pickles – the perfect party food whether you are hosting or attending! This tasty recipe is from the new Tommy Bahama cookbook – Flavors of Aloha. If you can’t dine at Tommy Bahama, bring the restaurant into your home.

This Flavors of Aloha: Cooking with Tommy Bahama cookbook is the first in a new series of culinary adventures featuring delicious and colorful dishes of each Hawaiian locale. Gorgeous full color photographs make this cookbook as equally inspiring as the more than 100 recipes created by best-selling author, Chef Rick Rodgers.

For an easy party dish, I chose a simple recipe of Spicy Sake Pickles. But, you’ll find an array of other tasty recipes from soups to salads, to meats and seafood, to rice, noodles, desserts and the beloved Tommy Bahama cocktails (and a lot of great cocktail tips). Recipes include: Citrus and Hearts of Palm Salad with Kumquat Viniagrette (a personal favorite), Salmon Filets with Ginger Glaze, Huli Huli Pork Tenderloin and Pineapple with Old-School Teriyaki Marinade. Kona Coffee Flan and Shave Ice with Fresh Fruit Syrups will also delight your tastebuds.

Here, unseasoned rice vinegar is whisked together with sake, soy sauce, honey and hot pepper sauce and tossed with ginger, sesame oil, and fresh raw vegetables of carrots, cucumber, cauliflower and celery. Add your own favorite vegetables, if desired. Other suggestions: daikon radish and red bell pepper.
