Last night was my SO's first chance to cook in a while, so she had a bit of fun with it:

Grilled venison medallions

Grilled asparagus

Grilled bread with sauteed black trumpet mushrooms and shallots

Arugula salad with (really nice!) tomatoes from SO's grandmother's garden in FL, olives, capers, spring onions, lemon, and olive oil.

Served with iced tea.

Slow roasted leg of lamb, seasoned with nutmeg, larded with anchovies and braised with Seville orange juice.

can you elaborate?? Was it roasted or braised? It does sound very interesting.

Thanks

Practice. Do it over. Get it right.

Mostly, I want people to be as happy eating my food as I am cooking it.

Tonkatsu, panko'd & fried pork cutlets. Nice Nishiki rice from the cooker. Sake-simmered carrots, spinach with Torakris's sesame sauce, Japanese pickled cabbage I made. Kikkoman Tonkatsu sauce from the bottle continues to rule.

Adam I requote here because I too am interested in what FoodMan was asking. Selfish? Perhaps. I've been called worse. ANYway.

Sorry, I missed the original query.

OK it was my addaption of a Robert May recipe (English 17th C. see link).

One extremely good leg of lamb was larded with about six anchovies (salted type, desalted in milk O/N), it was then rubbed with a smallish amount of nutmeg/salt/pepper and covered with slices of Seville (Bitter) oranges. It was then placed in a close fitting roasting tray and covered closely with foil. Roasted for four hours at 160.C.. Basting with more seville orange juice occasionally + meat juices.

Anchovies make the lamb taste gamey, but not like anchovies. Seville orange perfumes suface of meat, and gives a sour/bitter edge.

Robert May would have most likely used a mixture of spice (Nutmeg alone is more of a 18th C. thing) and based with Seville orange and claret

does dinner in our cafeteria of horrors count? this is what happens when I work late. :blink:

Monday: cod stuffed with crabmeat (a la seafood newburg), basmati rice, peas and mushrooms, honey glazed roasted carrots. Poland Spring. bananas.

Tuesday (cafeteria redux): marinated flank steak, roast potatoes. salad (not saying much considering the salad bar sucks but then again, I wasn't too keen on their flaccid green beans or overcooked spinach.) Poland Spring. At least the macadamia brownies were good.

Tonight is probably going to be takeout. Not feeling cook worthy lately.

Helena, it's just pureed lemon with romano cheese and pine nuts, salt and black pepper, EVOO. Sometimes a bit of mirin to taste. Easy. Quite nice hot or cold.

Hm? Round black bowl. White square of silken tofu. Coffee essence around. Toasted walnuts.

Is it the coffee? It's just strong French roast coffee, rendered down, sweetened with mirin to taste. I suppose one could use Camp.

edit:

Claire, grilled cheese sandwiches can be sublime. My favourite right now is sourdough with smoked caccacavallo and porcini paste.

As always, this is quite a menu, Jinmyo! I join the chorus that wants to know more about the hiyayako tofu .... and the shattered chicken dish .... please?

Last night, an impromptu dinner party cooked from Hot Sour Salty Sweet:

Steamed dumplings of minced pork and salted radish, served with a shoyu/rice vinegar dipping sauce

Khmer chicken curry

Sauteed morning glories with garlic, fermented bean paste, and fish sauce

Jasmine rice

Water, Gewurtztramminer, and Two-Buck Chuck

Mochi (purchased) for dessert

Everything turned out great, it was a fun evening.
