Hello April! Spring is here, and San Antonio is buzzing with energy. In addition to regular spring activities, April in San Antonio means Fiesta—literally, 11 days of vibrant parades, live music, festivals, and delicious food (including the famous chicken on a stick).
This month's recipes center around fresh seafood—dishes that feel right at home during San Antonio's picture-perfect spring weather.
Must Make This Month
These three standout dishes bring restaurant-quality seafood to your table:
This quick-cooking protein turns an ordinary weeknight into something special. Our method ensures a perfectly seared exterior while maintaining that beautiful pink center. Pair with a bright mango salsa for a meal that feels like vacation.
Inspired by an appetizer we enjoyed on our last trip to the Texas Gulf Coast, this elegant dish stacks fresh crab and ahi tuna with avocado and mango for a showstopping starter. It looks complicated, but comes together surprisingly quickly, making it perfect for entertaining.
After tasting this dish in New Orleans, we knew we had to recreate it at home. Golden saffron threads give simple risotto a wonderful color and flavor. Made with homemade shrimp stock for authentic taste, this dish is worth every minute of stirring.
Start with our Hawaiian-style Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl—a fresh, bright bowl featuring sushi-grade tuna dressed in traditional Hawaiian flavors. Enjoy this clean, protein-rich meal when you want something light yet satisfying after a busy day.
Transform your remaining tuna into Poke Nachos. These fusion nachos layer sushi-grade tuna over crispy wonton chips with avocado and spicy mayo for a fun twist on two classics. They're perfect for casual entertaining or a special treat for the family.
Kitchen Basics: How to Poach Eggs
Master the art of perfectly poached eggs with our foolproof method. We walk you through creating that restaurant-quality result - tender whites wrapped around creamy, runny yolks. Once you've learned this technique, you'll never want to go back to scrambled eggs. Our tip for success: fresh eggs and a gentle swirl of vinegar-spiked water make all the difference.
Put your poaching skills to work with our Crab Cake Eggs Benedict. This luxurious brunch dish features fresh lump crab cakes paired with perfectly poached eggs and finished with velvety hollandaise sauce. It's ideal for spring brunches or any weekend when you want to make breakfast more special. Make the crab cakes the night before for easier assembly in the morning.
