Dinner 2017 (Part 2)

[Anna N]

 

Sous vide vegetables (carrot, parsnip and onion)  that I had cooked about a week ago and that were fast approaching their best before date in my refrigerator.   I gave them another hour at 85°C because they were still a lot more than al dente and then roasted them in a very hot oven to get some colour and topped with a mixture of cheeses and panko.

I wanted to participate in the Meatball cook-off, but the lazy Sunday got the better of me. So: Pide with minced lamb, egg, cilantro. At the end maybe Kofta would have been faster, but hey ...

I think it's better than the Pide I had in Würzburg, made by Turks no less. I prefer your dough.

 

But the nice wild boar made up for it (on draft even). Beats Asahi.

True on the beer! Asahi however is my "go to" choice, especially when I am through with all the seasonal options ...

Last night was a night out for dinner to celebrate my birthday from earlier in the week. We dined at our local Maggiano's Little Italy.

 

 

Calamari with Marinara Sauce to start.

 

 

Bread to hold us until our mains arrived.

 

 

I had the the Chicken and Spinach Manicotti

 

 

My husband had the Steak and Mushroom Ravioli Special. He had almost finished his Asparagus before I remembered to take a picture. The steak medallions were mostly covered by onion rings, so he obliged me and turned his plate to give me the money shot!

 

 

Lemon Cookies for dessert.

We did sort-of Brazilian food yesterday.  Pao de queijo:

 

 

feijoada (vegetarian so not a traditional recipe at all)

 

 

onion strings 

 

 

 

coconut rice

 

 

grilled beef and chicken in a Brazilian tomato-coconut sauce

 

 

there was an avocado salad too that I neglected to take a picture of.

[shain]

@liamsaunt stunning! 

[sartoric]

While it's fresh in the memory ....Himalayan chilli pork. Served with sautéed cabbage and beet greens, steamed rice, paratha and my green mango pickle.

 

[Okanagancook]

Last night was long beans with ground pork flavoured with fish sauce/sugar/garlic/Thai red curry paste; stir fried broccoli and little mushrooms; steamed rice with a dollop of chilies in oil.

We had dinner early today.  One of the grocery stores here sells something they label boneless ribs.  Both Charlie an I were fooled into getting some once.  They are actually rather tasteless cuts of chuck.  Charlie's package sat in the freezer several months before I decided to cook it in the Instant Pot today.  I cooked it with soy sauce, ginger, honey, star anise and ginger. It turned out pretty good.  We had it with rice and a salad. I didn't take a picture of the meal but here are some leftovers. 

[chefmd]

Roasted chicken and Brussel sprouts.  Both done in cast iron pans from my growing collection

 

[robirdstx]

Grilled and Bar-B-Q Sauced Pork Butt Steak and Baked Potato with Butter and Sour Cream

 

 

[mm84321]

Wings, gizzards, waffle fries and chocolate covered strawberries.  A well-rounded meal.

Really gorgeous meals everyone!!

 

I roasted a chicken a few nights ago. I didn't take pictures of that meal (super simple: roast chicken with tomato chutney, roast potato, salad) but there was enough left over for two more dinners:

Chicken, onions and tomatoes with cumin, chili powder (should have been fresh chili peppers but I didn't have any), Served with rice and a salad.

 

Pasta with chicken,mushrooms, red, yellow and green peppers. (I am one of those who really like peppers of all colors.) And salad.

 

Ran out of chicken last night. There is a pork chop under the shallots and balsamic sauce. Also mashed squash with toasted walnuts. Do I need to mention that there was a salad?

[chefmd]

Duck confit with roasted potatoes.

 

[Anna N]

 

This is a Diana Henry recipe. Chicken thighs, sweet potato (this is a white-fleshed variety), onion and garlic tossed in olive oil with smoked paprika and preserved lemon flesh. That is roasted until almost ready and then the diced skin of the lemon and some pitted black olives are added for another few minutes.  

[scubadoo97]

@Anna N  looks fantastic and right up my alley.   Great use of ingredients that really complement each other.  Sounds like what's for dinner.    I'll be digging out some thighs from the freezer straight away 

[liamsaunt]

My husband brought home some bay scallops from the Legal Seafoods fish market. I sautéed them in butter and added in shallot, a little garlic, white wine, and parsley, and the juice of half a lemon, then sprinkled on some panko that I toasted in butter and lemon zest for some crunch.  Asparagus and rice for sides.  The scallops were incredibly sweet.  A nice treat for a Monday.

 Few things bring me more joy than to know I've planted a bee in somebody's bonnet.

[C. sapidus]

Mrs. C is out of town so I am cooking again.

 

Cochin coconut shrimp with tomatoes: With coconut milk, yogurt, ginger, chiles, garlic, onion, grated coconut, coriander, and garam masala. The shrimp were poached in the flavorful sauce and turned out very tender.

 

Turmeric rice: Pilaf-style with whole cloves and green cardamom, cinnamon stick, garlic, and bay leaves.

 

"Express" bhaji: Steam-in-bag spinach quickly stir-fried with ginger coins and red chiles

I set off to market this afternoon for chuck, with bright red thoughts of goulash.  I saw plenty of pleasant enough chuck, but the chuck that was advertised on sale was nowhere to be found.

 

So I came home with three pieces of filet mignon.  Choice for a change.  Usually they offer select.  The steaks were as thick as they were wide.  I bagged two, being careful to annotate RAW on each side of the package and the date.  For the sacrificial steak I first seared it in a bit of grapeseed oil.  (Measuring about 410 deg F. surface temperature and rising in my newest Falk before adding in the oil.)  Then finished over lower heat in butter.  I pulled at about 50 deg C.  Final rested temperature was 58 or so which was higher than intended.  Sill possibly my finest attempt at this cut of beef.  The crust was lovely.

 

Served with two hour baked potato, asparagus hollandaise -- and a prodigal amount of voatsiperifery, coarsely cracked.
