Recommended Posts

Dinner was another cecchetti meal last night. Homemade pork gyoza with dipping sauce, baked garlic and herb Alouette stuffed portabella caps that were dusted with grated parmesan cheese and drizzled with balsamic vinegar and roasted garlic with soft butter and hot French baguette slices.

Can you elaborate on the mushroom stuffing?

More than a few restaurants and pubs around here have this or something similar to this on the menu as an app. It's a portabella mushroom cap that has been filled with this product and baked.

How they finish it, varies. I like to put grated parmesan cheese to get a bit of browning in the oven, then a drizzle of balsamic vinegar at serving.

Thank you.  I have never had or heard of Alouette cheese, but we do have Boursin which I think must be similar and I just happen to gave some.  Thank you for responding.

Last night's dinner.

 I'm a traditionalist when it comes to Risotto and actually enjoy the process of making it.

 

 

Me too. There is a nice rhythm to stirring and sipping some wine.

I've probably posted something similar before, but it's a favourite, so no apologies!

Bitter melon and beef stir fry. With rice. Beef marinated in soy sauce and Shaoxing wine with potato starch, garlic and chilli. Wokked with the bitter melon and finally finished with scallions and sesame oil.

@rotuts  the base is a potato salad without majonaise, just with a vinaigrette of vinegar and beef broth, there you start. I made a roux of abt 1 tbsp butter and flour, roast a little, but not too dark. add some broth or whatever is available, cook for a few minutes, stirring constantly. add potato salad and dill. adjust seasoning, it might need salt and vinegar. this is a very old recipes from the times nothing was wasted. of course it can be made with fresh potatoes, but I just love the idea turning leftovers into a new meal.

 Recently we had a discussion about Rao brand sauces (here).  I received a gift of two of the sauces. The marinara and the vodka varieties.   Tonight I used some of the vodka sauce with some shrimp and a glug of cream over pasta.  49E0C89B-9AFC-45A1-AEEB-94716E6DF180.thumb.jpeg.a5818de29913c3edaa9673fc89a31354.jpeg

 

 Really amazing taste for a commercially made sauce.

Porterhouse steaks were on sale this week, so guess who jumped in. Here are the ones I picked:

Deb likes hers cooked to death, so I show you my own very rare version.

The chives are pretty much shot for the season, so I switch to chopped green onion tops for the sour cream this time of year.

Dinner tonight was smoked salmon over rosti with French green beans and salad.  That blob of sour cream looks like a face, dontcha think?  Too bad his left eyeball kinda popped out of it's socket.
