Dinner 2016 (Part 9)

[JoNorvelleWalker]

Second half of last night's loaf of bread, still infinite tomatoes, Hellman's.  (Of which I possess four as yet unopened jars, so that also counts as infinite.)

 

 

[HungryChris]

Spaghetti with a sausage and cubanelle pepper sauce and a salad.

HC

 

[liamsaunt]

fried cod, baked rosemary oven fries, onion rings, and slaw

 

[shain]

Stir fried okra, in sambal (chili peppers, onion, garlic, tamarind), served with coconut and ginger flavored jasmine rice.
Mostly based on a recipe by Yotam Ottolenghi's Plenty.

 Just this morning I remarked to Kerry Beal who is with me here on Manitoulin Island that I would love to eat at shain's house.  But if you are going to serve okra I may have to reconsider that idea.

I'm flattered. If you ever do all the way over to here, I'll make sure to hide every trace of okra, and of beans as well.

And eggplant?

[Shelby]

Lol, I'll come too.  And I'll eat every bit of okra, beans and eggplant.

That is more challenging... Eggplants=

Braised pork belly with a stir fry of broccolini, snow peas and red onion, steamed rice and a few pickled zucchini.

The pork was simmered in water, soy and oyster sauce, five spice, crushed garlic, sliced ginger and chilli. Remove the pork, boil to reduce sauce, and finish with spring onions. A new favourite, the meat was gelatinous and luscious.

I Smoked a Pork shoulder and some Beef Spare Ribs on the weekend.

 

The Ribs.  Nice deep smoke ring

 

And look at that bite

 

 

Pulled Pork Taco's

 

 

Left over pork into steamed buns.  I have never made these before. It wont be my last time either.

@Sartoric - That looks absolutely delicious. I want to come for dinner. 

[scubadoo97]

Just a little bit of steelhead trout over roasted brussel sprouts 

 

[liamsaunt]

Chicken tonkatsu.  Between this and last night's fish fry I think I need to make a big salad for dinner tomorrow night.

It was a trip to the market a few days a go which inspired this. One of the illegal vendors hovering around the real market entrance was selling this red okra and I thought "that's pretty".

 

 

But I know that it just turns green when you cook it, so passed. But the okra idea stuck in my mind.
 

This morning I was able to go through the selection of okra in my supermarket and pick out the smaller samples. So much of the okra here is oversized and cooks to this stringy horribleness.

The beef was cooked over two days with Indian curry paste, garlic, onion, and red chillies from my balcony plants which have expectantly and prodigiously decided to re-fruit. The okra was cooked until just tender and was, if I say so myself, perfect.

Served with Chinese flat bread wrappers (I wasn't in a rice mood), mango relish (not pictured) and home made yoghurt (ditto). And a cold beer. Seconds were consumed. Thirds in the case of the beer.

I made a faux duck confit (a la David Liebowitz) for dinner last night. Started the previous night by "curing" the duck legs, and I also bought a pair of chicken legs to experiment with them. Then into a moderate oven for a few hours...

 

 

Crank up the heat for the final 20-30 minutes. Roast some potatoes (and cauliflower, why not?) in duck fat.

 

 

The chicken is very good too, but needs to cook for less time than the duck.

My Italian husband calls this a WASP dinner - but he likes it anyway. Meatloaf with red hamburger relish from the recipe that @FauxPas posted in the preserving thread this summer, mashed potatoes and beets from the garden. Obviously I am not really into careful plating. 

 

[chefmd]

Mediterranean like dinner last night.

Greek inspired salad.

 

seared tuna with zucchini

 

[chefmd]

And tonight's steak dinner.

 

wedge salad

 

Fillet mignon tips with potatoes

 

[scubadoo97]

This is a 23 day dry aged rib eye cooked SV to 123f then finished in a cast iron pan smeared with the magical browning powder

[Dejah]

It's a chilly day / evening with continuous misty rain.

Had chunks of lamb marinating in coconut milk and spices overnight.

Skewered the lamb and braved the chill to cook them on the BBQ.

Made the masala sauce and tossed the lamb in to coat.

Plated with some sauteed spinach on  the bottom. Eaten with leftover low-carb naan from the freezer.
It's the second time making this dish from my Ketogenic Cookbook.

Great meal for a night when I've had to turn the furnace on. It's 2C with rain at the moment.

[scubadoo97]

That looks great Dejah

[robirdstx]

On my own for dinner tonight. No leftovers and did not feel like cooking, so pulled this Stouffer's Swedish Meatball frozen dinner out and nuked it. Surprisingly good!

 

 

 

 

[liuzhou]

 

Brake Root Vermicelli stir fried with pork (marinated in Shaoxing wine and garlic), bamboo shoots, green and red chilli peppers, green onions and soy sauce.
