Recipes by Tory Miller
Herb Roasted New Potatoes Soy Marinade for Veggies
INGREDIENTS:
   2 lbs. new potatoes (if small do not cut them) 1 sachet (put all ingredients into the filter and tie up with string):
      1 large coffee filter (or cheese cloth)
      1 shallot sliced thin (no need to peel)
      2 cloves crushed garlic (no need to peel)
      1 bay leaf
      2 sprigs thyme
      1 teaspoon black peppercorns
   Kosher salt
   Water to cover
INGREDIENTS:
   1 cup soy sauce
   1 cup water
   ¼ cup rice wine vinegar
   1 teaspoon sesame oil
   1 teaspoon Siracha hot sauce or Thai hot chili oil
   3-4 Tablespoons honey

METHOD:
   Whisk all of the ingredients together. Marinade the vegetables that you are going to grill for about one hour.
METHOD:
   Wash and place the potatoes into a large pot. Cover the potatoes with cold water and add the sachet. Bring to a boil and add enough salt to make the water taste like the ocean. Reduce the heat to almost off and let the potatoes slow cook until just fork tender; this takes about an hour. (If the potatoes fall apart they are over cooked.) Drain and dry the potatoes. Heat an oven-safe pan on high and add 3-4 Tablespoons of butter and the potatoes. Place the pan into a 400-475° oven for 10 minutes. Drain the butter and toss the potatoes with chopped chives, parsley, rosemary and thyme.
