Dinner 2018

I was attending an evening Fashion Show and got there earlier than planned.  Better have a bite to eat as the canapes won't do it.

 

I ordered a Club Sandwich and this is what I got.

 

Nevermind it is the most expensive Club Sandwich in the world.

 

But a Simpson's on the Strand Club Sandwich it is not.

 

Nevermind that the plate is a signed Versace plate made by Rosenthal. It is still the most awful deconstructed Club Sandwich ever...... Quail eggs.....Pfffft.....

 

Never again.....

I don't think I've ever heard of Huli Huli before... what is it?  Is it Polynesian? Hawaiian?

 

Kenneth, its Hawaiian

 

One of my favorite chicken dishes ever :) 

They cook it on the kiawe coals, very similar to mesquite. Amazing chicken

Steak night here. The weird thing is that as much as Deb loves steak, I can take it or leave it, and rarely finish mine. I'd rather have it cold in a sandwich. I managed a steak restaurant for several years. When I started, I loved a good steak, when I finished, I would rather have a good baked potato and a salad with a good blue cheese dressing. It's not that I ever saw anything bad, in my experience, but it's just how it affected me. Go figure.

The Man's Christmas present was a starter smoker. I wasn't here so just ordered it for him. Well I've been home for a few weeks now and he decided to give it the maiden voyage!

Pork ribs, yellow peppers and asparagus.  It was a lot of fun to make. The ribs flavour was delish...very spicy with the rub we made up. A bit tougher then we are used to *IP fall off the bone ribbies* The peppers and asparagus had an incredible smokey flavour. This is an adventure we will enjoy :)

Tonight from Tiko Tuskadze's Supra...

 

Dinner04092018.png

 

 

Sakonlis Khorzis Kharcho, spiced beef and walnut stew (pp106-107).  This was a delectably unusual dish for me.  The beef is flavored with cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, marigold, bay leaves and other things.  Much cilantro.  The sauce is thickened with onion, egg yolks, and apple cider vinegar.

 

Served with traditional Gomi, translated by Tuskadze as rice pudding, but indistinguishable to my palate from fine Venetian polenta.  Also Tkemali (store bought), the addictive sour plum sauce that goes with everything.

 

I cheated.  Rather than boiling the beef, I cooked the chuck sous vide.  Delightfully tender, not mealy in the least.  Plus I threw in a dollop of demi glace because I could.

I'm staying in a village in the Austrian Alps. Have been making meals with what I can get and what I can use in my not very well equipped kitchen. The best things here are Speck, mountain cheeses and wines from all over Austria.

Austrians are hell-bent on local and quality Austrian products. This is my first Austrian beef.

Asparagus is so tiny there's no need to peel. Well, you can't anyway.

Got a piece of lard for cooking. It's meant to be eaten with bread, thinly sliced.

Torn pancakes with crisp-fried Tyrolean Speck, my savoury version of Kaiserschmarrn. I used rye flour here.

Let's face it, besides the hiking, I'm actually here for the Speck!

You take my meaning when I say I'm here for the Speck! In no country is the "Speck culture" so strong as Austria.

Gonna throw out all my things to fit this in my bag to take home!

Walnuts are nice.

 

Seriously, I haven't opened the book yet but now it like to try that recipe.

Whole Foods has chickens on sale.  Roasted at 450 degrees for about an hour in pre heated cast iron pan.  I love my CSO but prefer convection oven for the chicken.  Served with carrots steam baked in CSO.

 One of the nicest things about the book is that there are many recipes in designed to serve two.:)
