I am blushing!

Seriously though I never really use a recipe. I will go ahead and post a rough recipe in Recipe Gullet though. I'll post here once I do.

Edit: BTW, The homemade Ricotta is really important unless you have access to some good quality crumbly ricotta, not the supermarket grainy watery stuff. I will post a recipe for that too, which is actually based on instructions I got from one of the eG threads :biggrin: .

yum that looks like such a perfect meal for today's stormy seattle weather! beautiful. I'm a fan of making your own ricotta also, it is very simple and I like the texture much better. I'll be interested to see how you do your Elie.

I've got nothing to compete with those beautiful calzones, but I coincidentally also made calzones a few nights ago and found a nice filling mixture which I'll use again.

(To fill one small 7" diameter calzone)

1/4c roasted eggplant, roughly pureed

1/4c ricotta (sadly mine was store-bought)

1 egg white

handful grated mozz for gooeynees

few dashes smoked paprika

The egg white helps to bind everything so it doesn't get too runny. I love the taste of roasted eggplant so this was a flavorful yet light filling. To make it heartier I might add cooked cubed or ground lamb. Yum!

Tonight:

For me, hanger steak with Maldon salt and haricots verts with butter and balsamic reduction

For my spouse, fried panko-crusted chicken livers with spicy tomato sauce and a salad with bleu cheese dressing

Tomorrow night:

Spice-rubbed pork loin with apples, kraut and a Calvados-spiked pan sauce

Mashed potatoes, maybe

Sunday lunch:

Cuban-style sandwich with the leftover pork, which is the whole point of tomorrow's dinner.

Foodman any chance you would post the recipe for that soup. It looks warm and comforting.

Wow what a great run of great-looking, delicious-sounding dinners. And, I am SO making my own ricotta just as soon as Elie posts his recipe.

Last evening, chicken butterflied and stuffed under the skin with sauteed onion, lowly boughten ricotta, fresh cooked spinach, hit of Parmigiano, s & p, breath of cayenne & nutmeg. Oh, breadcrumbs and an egg in there too.

Basted with schmaltz while roasting, and then removed to rest and cubed parboiled potatoes put in the pan to take advantage of the drippings while crisping up a little.

A little bacon cooked, sliced crimini mushrooms cooked in the bacon fat, nice little head of organic frisee from Whole Foods coarsely chopped and turned in the mixture briefly over heat, s & p, hit of Balsamic.

Seedy flatbread I'd made earlier. Sangiovese the guy at the wine store had recommended for Thursday's braised lamb shanks and saffron risotto.

The rich leftover sauce from those shanks is intended for tonight's pappardelle, followed by little rib chops fried in Parmigiano crust as per Marcella Hazan and a nice salad. At least that is the plan, unless the pasta gets hexed by this premention. Seedy LBB baguette. Nero D'Avola.
