Last nigh was Stew , chopped and browned some chuck roast with cornstarch red wine and various herbs in a pan. Browned onion and celery in butter in the slow cooker, added the meat carrots parsnips red wine beef stock and some canned crushed tomatoes and some water. Slow cook for 5 hrs. Served with fresh baguette.
Tonight will be more stew but i was reading the fish and chips thread and have a hankering for making some fish.
That is definitely going on the list, looks awesome .
BBQ Pulled Pork and creamy homemade macaroni salad.
Thanks, I’d been debating what I wanted to do for dinner tonight, and that sounds like a great idea.
I made this sweet and sour butternut squash and it’s very good. I threw in some garbanzo beans at the end for texture and protein.
Meatloaf - a traditional recipe. One of my favourite comfort foods, and one where the leftovers are almost as good as the original.
Crispy shelled pork and chorizo tacos. We browned about a pound of ground pork with about a half pound of chorizo. Then, we removed the meat and sauteed about half an onion and a poblano in the remaining fat until they started to soften, then returned the meat and added a pureed can of chipotles in adobo and cooked it while mixing everything. Loaded it into tacos and dressed it with your choice of onions, tomatoes, cabbage, cheese, sour cream and any of a number of taco sauces.
I probably over did it with the habenero sauce on a couple of my tacos, but they were delicious.
Leftovers are the highest purpose of meatloaf.
Scallops and Dumplings.
Leftover sweet and sour butternut squash with garbanzo beans.
This is a very intriguing combo. I don’t think I’ve ever seen them together before. How were they prepared?
I had leftover meatloaf. In general, I’m not a huge fan of leftovers. But meatloaf is an exception. It should be covered in ketchup glaze and baked freeform on a sheet to make the edges crispy. I am a big fan of “no added sugar” ketchup - but this does not seem to have caught on widely.
I went minimalist tonight: a couple of French bread rolls, with a variety of toppings. Roasted garlic cloves, a wedge of sheep’s milk cheese sliced wafer-thin, some tamarind-cilantro sauce, and plenty of butter.
Dessert is a bit more of the cheese, with orange marmalade.
My gf made Scallops&Dumplings by first sautéing onions, garlic, and celery. Then add some white wine, then clam juice. While that simmers, thinly slice scallops and make dumpling (flour, water, salt, pepper, thyme). Drop dumplings into liquid (she made tiny dumplings) then add scallops.
Very quick and easy.
Last night was Beef & Pea Curry. I’d buy and burn a Beef & Pea Curry scented candle.
Last night I spatchcocked a chicken on the grill and served it with roasted carrots&beets.
The real treat was a dessert my gf served. She made espresso, steamed milk to make it cappuccino, added some Hersey’s Chocolate Syrup, then two shots of Ancho Reyes Chili liqueur. Mmmmm!!
Pizza tonight! I love pizza.
Linguine with Clam Sauce
We honored General Tso tonight and made his chicken. And apple egg rolls.
More information on these, please?
