Sesame crusted seared tuna, gochujang sauce, pickled red onions, cilantro in flour tortillas.

Chicken Marbella. Made in instant pot.

Blackened shrimp with grilled green squash.

Grilled open-face Italian sliders. Leftover day. Still have a dozen (now frozen) very good herbed dinner rolls that are delivered with carryout. Cut one into 4 slices. Topped with leftover cooked Italian sausage, fried onions and peppers, cheese and fresh basil. Grilled in olive oil in frypan with lid, until crusty, hot and oozy. Served with the rest of a half a cucumber found hiding in the produce drawer.

Looking for a way to use some brussels sprouts lingering in the fridge. Found this recipe. I used hot Italian sausage. No chives available here, so I minced some shallot and added it to pan with the sausage and sprouts. https://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/spaghetti-brussels-sprouts-and-sausage-breadcrumb-topping It was very tasty, but wish my photo looked as good as the one in Food & Wine 😎

Grilled Korean pork tenderloin served with kimchi, riced cauliflower and gochujang BBQ sauce.

Lamb shanks and white beans in instant pot. Took meat off the bone to serve.

Moroccan crusted grilled salmon fillet. Served with leftover couscous with prunes, almonds and lemon.

Grilled Moroccan lamb with piri piri sauce. Couscous with toast almonds, prunes and lemon.

@mgaretz It kinda looks like a Christmas tree. Or have I had too much eggnog?

I will never again under-estimate the impact of filling an instant pot with a huge volume of very cold and very thick mole' sauce and 2 kilos of turkey thighs. I will never again under-estimate the impact of consuming rosemary mojitos prior to making dinner. Our Christmas Eve dinner plate:

We aren't cocktail drinkers, but hey, it's Christmas and my rosemary bush needed a haircut. Used this recipe, https://thebuzzmagazines.com/recipes/rosemary-mojitos

To test that theory I'll need some metal snips and a soldering iron 😎

Just returned from (what us expats call) the local "dollar" store with my new splatter screen. Didn't see the writing on the knob until I unwrapped it. Viva Mexico!

Love when I happen across a surprise when shopping here. Also love the phonetic Spanish spelling! Pan fried Brussel sprouts with a bit of bacon and the zest of an entire lemon. Recipe called for frying the gnocchi on one side; nice result with a bit of crunch contrasting with the soft texture on each piece.
