Dinner 2018

Cooked lamb shanks in the Breville PC last night.

Greek style.

 

This is not a dinner I would usually make on a work night, but with the Pressure Cooker it didn't take all that long.

I don't brown in the PC. Although there is a sear function, I've never found a deep sided pot ideal for browning. So I browned the shanks in a cast iron pan. I also added the broth to this pan to heat before adding to the PC. This shortens the time it takes for the PC to come up to pressure. The lamb was done in less than an hour.

While the lamb was cooking I made the sides. Rice and Greek lemon potatoes which were roasted in the CSO. Also made a Greek Salad.

I just checked and well.ca has 6 out of the 8 Shirataki noodles in stock.  You have me wondering if I should make sure I am well stocked at all times in case of shortages.  We use maybe 2 packages a week.  3 this week as we gobbled gobbled last Monday night.:ph34r:

Thanks for the heads-up, @ElsieDHopped onto it and got 10 pkgs of the rice and some penne ordered!

I also love the free shipping after $35.00!

A casserole of matzo, leeks, scallions, kashkaval and feta. 

A salad of beets, oranges and oroblanco dresses with a vinaigrette made with potent olive oil. Over ricotta with silan and thyme. Toasted pistachios.

 One of the very simple recipes from the book Ducksoup.  Fry some garlic in olive oil just until it starts to color, add mushrooms (the recipe calls for chanterelles, ha ha). Add some chicken stock and reduce. Add some butter and parsley. Season well. Transfer to serving plate.  Shower with some Parmesan and add an egg yolk and some sourdough bread. No sourdough so toasted rye in my case.  Simple, fast and tasty.  I am sure chanterelles would’ve taken it over the top.  Even the flat leaf parsley the recipe called for I had to substitute. The flat leaf parsley in the grocery store was sad, sad, sad.  Curly parsley it is.

Visited with some friends in the Shenandoah valley over Easter and brought my konro and donabe with me. We did a six mile hike and then proceeded to feast. The meal opened with miso soup made with Father's country ham dashi. Second course were some pork shoulder saam lettuce wraps served with Carolina gold rice. Third course was white meat yakitori with an assortment of grilled vegetables, more rice, and a gallon of Yum Yum sauce. We never made it to the final course, which was to be pork shoulder and pineapple skewers. When I butchered the shoulder, everything got Jaccarded and the thin cuts went straight on the grill with salt and pepper; the larger, thicker cuts went for a 24 hour swim at 63C. I've yet to break into my supply of those.

 

No pictures of anything on the plate, but I did shoot some video while cooking:

 

 

 

I grill all the veg first and move it to a low oven so it's ready to go right when the protein comes off.

Clam pizza tonight. Because these were all small cherrystone clams, I chose to put them on the pizza whole (unchopped). These are the last of the clams I recently harvested locally.

At 1 a.m. on Thursday morning, an unexpected, sudden, violent tropical storm struck the city and killed my optical fibre internet connection right at the start of a three-day public holiday (Qing Ming (link to somewhat inaccurate Wikipedia description)). So,  I couldn't immediately get it restored. I finally got it re-connected today. It took the China Telecom guy three hours.

The tropical storm also wiped out the long planned visit from my young friends from out of town. We are rescheduling.

 

In the meantime,  I have been cooking and eating.

I'd already bought the oysters one friend wanted to taste with lemon. She couldn't make it, so I had to eat them myself! What a tragedy.

@Dejah,  yesterday the halibut fillets were on for $3.99 a 100gs but the price changes today and is apparently going up to over $6.00.  But they will still

have the steaks on at $2.99 a 100gs this week.   So although I prefer the fillets I will probably get a couple of steaks while they are still on at a decent price. 

Seems to be $1.00 difference between west coast and prairies. I did pick up 2 lovely fillets yesterday and will enjoy them tonight (2 fish nights in a row!).
Want to get a couple steaks if they are decent for steaming before they go off the flyer next week...Superstore @3.99/100g

 

Waited in line with about 100 others yesterday, in a chilling west wind, for pickerel from the Gimli fish guy! Wasn't going to get any as I still had 4 lbs in the freezer, but brother and kids wanted some.

Had the granddaughters up for play date and son joined us while d-i-l worked. Sent 2 pieces and chips home for d-i-l. She re-heated them up in the oven and said the batter was still crispy!

 

Fish in "beer batter" -but used only soda water and double-fry chips. Dips were curry gravy, spicy or regular ketsup, tartar sauce, or malt vinegar

Picked these "cones" up at Stokes, in anticipation of the kidlets...They ( 5 and 3 year olds) were happy to have their own special dishes...perfect for little hands: fish "sticks", chips, fresh vegetables

Lovely meals....especially the oysters.  I'm sorry your friends had to cancel.  Damn weather!
