Dinner 2018

[liuzhou]

Another carb-free because too hot dinner.

 

 

Duck breast salad. I found some radishes. These are rare round these parts, although daikon radish is easily available year round. SO, I made another simple salad with lettuce, scallions, coriander leaf and the radishes. Separately, I did a tomato and basil salad (again).

 

The duck was pinker than it appears in the images and the juices mixed in with the salad dressing. This is not a bad thing.

Pounded out chicken breast stuffed with sautéed mushrooms, pea shoots and mozzarella .  SV'd for a couple of hours.

 

 

Is that a sauce atop the chicken breast and pasta, then? And at what temperature did you sous vide the pounded and stuffed breasts? 

 

Those tomatoes look glorious.

Sambusak. 

First batch filled with boiled eggs, feta, tomatoes, olives, oregano, and chili.

Second filled with boiled eggs, feta, mushrooms, chickpeas, oregano, cumin and chili.

First time making shrimp and grits using a recipe @kayb linked to in the shrimp and grits topic.  We really liked this.

[Okanagancook]

I love Southern cooking’s flavours.  I am going to have try with Anson Mills grits I purchased awhile back.

I know it’s Summer, but sometimes you just get a craving for Stew!

 

 

Pork Tenderloin and Vegetable Stew made with Patak’s Vindaloo Hot & Spicy Simmer Sauce in my Instant Pot and served with Garlic Naan (heated from frozen in my CSO on Bake Steam for 6 minutes)

 

I do this, too.  I was really having to resist the urge to bake bread yesterday.  I don't have time to bake bread!  But it took a lot of willpower!  

 

The Salad:

 

Spanish Rice & Hamburger stove-top casserole and fresh butter beans:

Admitting right now that the rice dish is just hamburger and a Knorr Spanish rice packet with hamburger and cheese.  I've been making variations of this dish for the past 35 years.  We like it a lot.  Started when we were first married and broke and for less than $2, I could feed both of us dinner and lunch.

Picked up amberjack and Cobia at my local fishmongers after work today.   Tonight was amberjack with spinich pie

I have managed to resist making my no knead bread, so far, because I don’t have a stone that fits in the CSO. Just need to NOT buy the stone, yet!

Oh the tomatoes are so good.  I could eat a bushel a day.

 

I made some alfredo to top it with.  I SV'd the chicken at 142F for about 2 1/2 hours.

The nightly cucumber salad

 

 

A few beans were ready (finally) in the garden.  Supplemented by store bought (not as good)

Walleye

[liuzhou]

 

Pork marinated in olive oil with salt ground black pepper. Dry stir-fried until beginning to caramelise then the marinade added. Cooked till done. Shiitake, shallots and white peppers drizzled with olive oil and sea salt, then microwave baked together for 3 minutes  on high. Served with coriander leaf laced couscous.

 

Those white peppers are  hot! But tasty.

Not sure when he will be eating it but just sent Johnnybird off with the following:

leftover baked cod mixed with mashed potatoes to make codfish cakes and tartar sauce

eggy potatoes

blueberries

minced chicken salad

 

I will be grateful when his appliances are fully integrated into his mouth and I am able to cook food that doesn't have to be minced or whizzed in a food pro.....

Roasted sunchoke with rosemary. Green beans sauteed in butter, with chopped almonds and lemon zest. Scrambled egg with a touch of sharp cheese.

[heidih]

@shain  Delectable looking meal as always but Imust say that sunchoke is HUGE!  The ones we see around here are more, at most, golf ball sized.

Thanks

That's interesting, I'd say that they usually average at 4" of length around here.

You can grow your own, quite easily. Easily to a fault, in fact...As with mint, the difficulty is to limit how much you grow.

 

Ordinarily they'll be the size of a large "hand" of ginger, and you just snap off the bits you want to cook at a given moment.

Looks great Shain!  Love the taste of sun chokes!

 

Though I cannot say the same for the....*ahem*....'after effects'....

Having visitors and taking them around, there was not much chance for cooking lately. Being on my own again I went to the farmers market today and found some beautiful porcini. So tonights dinner: porcini nage with semolina dumplings and semi dried tomatoes from my garden
