[Shelby]

Scrambled farm eggs and peas from the garden.  

[huiray]

Top sirloin cap, pan-fried with fresh thyme & salt/pepper & other stuff. Sliced, slices seared on the cut sides in the pan. Yes, the insides were still nicely red & juicy.

 

Part 1: With sautéed fresh asparagus & wild rice [Bineshii].

 

Part 2: With salad & more of the wild rice.

Salad was spinach, red-tinged romaine, green romaine, 10-year balsamic, Maldon salt, Maussane-les-Alpilles olive oil, black pepper.

[sartoric]

Beef and veggie casserole, including carrots, celery, mushrooms, zucchini and bacon.

Served with potato and swede mash flavoured with horseradish, pickled cabbage and crusty bread.

 

I deglazed the pan with port and reduced it to a thick syrup, added beef stock and Dijon mustard.

Watermelon chunks that have been compressed using a chamber vacuum sealer.  They have a denser texture and more flavor.

They are really tasty.  Very good in salads and with chilled seafood.

Dinner tonight was an aged NY strip, grilled over grapefruit wood and left over baked potatoes repurposed with a roasted kale, garbanzo bean and pine nut salad dressed with a balsamic reduction dressing.

@scubadoo97 looks perfect!

Chicken Marsala, a recipe for which I shall love or hate Kenji into eternity.

[rarerollingobject]

Depressed about Brexit, I made and then promptly tipped myself face-first into these five-spice roast duck noodles, with flowering garlic chives, green onions wilted in duck fat, and huatiao rice wine.

 

(Also things like shredded ginger, shiitake mushrooms, oyster, hoi sin and light soy sauces, sesame oil, and a slick of Chinese chicken stock.)

Sichuanese zhong shui jiao - pork and garlic chive dumplings in chilli oil, with sweet dark soy and a good dusting of Sichuan pepper. 

I even made my own wrappers. On a Wednesday night! After a 14 hour workday! #hardcore

 

 

Great looking dumplings, my 2 little ones gobble them up - would be interested to hear your wrapper recipe; perhaps for when I am feeling adventurous.

 

I hear you on the long work days, that's about when I smartened up, went out and started my own gig, and now I am working 14 hours a week and happier than ever!

"Soupy" (sopressata) and mushroom pizza. After breaking my second pizza stone, I had a quarter inch steel plate cut to fit in my oven. I like the results much better than on the stone. This is a smaller single shelf top oven in a twin oven range and top end is 550 F. I preheat the oven & plate for about 45 minutes.

We had dinner early.  It was Shrimp Etouffee  adapted from a recipe for crawfish.

That looks fantastic! Would you mind sharing the recipe?

[sartoric]

The pull apart bread is made with two medium potatoes boiled and mashed. Make a soft dough with 1/4 cup SR and 3/4 cup plain flour, 1/2 tsp bicarbonate soda and salt. Mix in 1/2 cup of buttermilk, and half the potatoes. Pat into a square shape about 1cm thick. In a fry pan saute two chopped bacon rashers with butter, mix in chopped herbs of your choice, 1tbs buttermilk, 1 cup parmesan and spread on the dough. Roll up, cut into 2cm bits and nestle together on a sprayed baking tray. Bake at 200 C for about 25 minutes.

 

The original recipe (which I wrote down about 20 years ago) called for double the above quantities.

[Tere]

that sounds superyum!

[chefmd]

Radish, zucchini, parsley, scallions salad with simple olive oil and lemon juice dressing.

sartoric,

 

This recipe sounds very appealing. I want to make it. I'll need to convert your metric measures to the pesky Imperial, but that's easy with Mr. Google these days. I think I would like it with chives or scallions in the filling.

 

Seems you add half the potatoes with the buttermilk, but the other half seems not to be mentioned. Do they go in the filling mixture? What happens to the other half of the potatoes you boil and mash up?
