Dinner! 2012

THAT is amazingly beautiful... a stunning picture of a stunning dish... bravo!

Agreed – all of the dishes looked fantastic, but that one jumped out

A considerably more pedestrian meal here. Elder son came home to vote, so I made a couple of his favorites.

Caramelized minced pork, from Into the Vietnamese Kitchen. I needed to make a fresh batch of caramel sauce. Served with jasmine rice.

Stir-fried green beans with fermented black beans and garlic plus a little rice vinegar, chicken stock, and sesame oil.

In preparation for the storm, I made big 4 paste for seur rong hai tomorrow.

But for tonight I just made our old standby, Julia's marinated pork chops from The Way To Cook. Probably the first real meal I learned to cook as an adult, and something we have constantly.

Here's hoping the storm does not make the turn and instead goes on out to sea.

Patrick, your pork chop looks good enough to eat! ;-) I must do soon!

Lamb breast. Rubbed w/ a blend that was heavy on the garlic powder, rosemary and chipotle. Smoked for five and a half hours, rested then crisped on the gas grill.

It is not even 6 am and I am drooling.

Despite the morning rain and subsequent cold and damp, I fired up the smoker for possibly the last time and did a small (2 1/2 lb.) piece of beef brisket. Because it was small, it only took about 4 hours.

Some French themed food last night.

Lobster bisque, meat is the surprise at the bottom.

147 degree egg, some of my house bacon, frisse, endive, mustard dressing.

Foie and truffle pate, picanchou cheese and I made some fig-nectarine jam from my trees.

14 hour wagyu coulotte, creamed spinach. Sauce is a reduction of sherry vinegar, honey, the fig-nectarine jam mounted with butter.

Lovely meal ScottyBoy. I like the use in two incarnations of the jam and of course find it stellar that you were using your own fruits. Can you tell me about the creamed spinach- it is one of my favorite comfort foods- yours looks like the leaves are somewhat intact?

Heidi,

I blanch the spinach, squeeze out all the water through a towel, rough chop it and squeeze again. When I've done it at higher end restaurants we would run it through a meat grinder but I like it a little more "rustic". I throw some smashed garlic in cream, reduce by half and strain. Mix the garlic flavored cream with spinach, some salt and I can proudly say I've had a lot of people say it was the best creamed spinach they've had!

If I wasn't happily married, I'd BEG to be your girlfriend--as long as you cook for your girlfriends ;)

This looks amazing, especially the jam.
