Dinner 2018

[JoNorvelleWalker]

Further sweet and sour chicken.  This time with cranberry sauce, an ingredient most probably unbeknownst to Baptiste Platinede Cremone and fifteenth century Catalonia.  Good stuff.  I think of this as fusion food.

 

[liuzhou]

Marinaded cubes of pork with garlic, coriander seeds, olive oil, lemon juice. Dry-fried in wok and added Sriracha sauce (from Sriracha). 

 

Salad of lettuce, cabbage and hothouse chives in a lemon and rice vinegar dressing..

 

Served with smuggled - from - Vietnam - pitta - bread for self assembly. Well, there was only me. I don't fill the pitta until I'm ready to eat. The bread can get sodden while I'm eating the previous one.

 

 

 

Seconds, as usual, were consumed.

Thanks everyone.   "Jack Spratt could eat no fat"  my wife will eat no pork 

 

 

How sad. I could give up beef much more easily than pork. I'd never make it as a Jew or a Muslim.

I was given some pingue prosciutto and had just picked up some fresh asparagus and so the two were wedded together and anointed with some parmesan. 

[scubadoo97]

The sous vide chicken confit tonight with mashed potatoes.   

Pulled the skin and meat from the bones of two thighs.  Rendered some fat from the skin and crisped up the meat in a pan.   

 

Simple and tasty

Instant Pot Bone-in Pork Chop with Gravy, Jasmine Rice and Garlic Sautéed Spinach

 

PS I know it looks like a mess (and a bit blurry), but it was a very tasty mess!

Pan-fried duck breast with salad of lettuce, cabbage, hothouse chives, tomatoes and basil. Couscous.

The duck was slightly overcooked by my preference, but the skin was beautifully crisp. I blame using a new induction cooker for the first time. I can't do pink duck on my regular Chinese wok cooker. Way too hot, even at low.

@scubadoo97

 

I do something very similar w both CkThighs and Turkey things 

 

do you have a CSO ?

 

try doing the thighs in the CSO.   very close to SV , but the Chef gets some outstanding crispy skin to sample !

 

I always fill up the CSO so there will be extra  , sans skin of course , to pull apart and use has you have above.

My mom has been here the last few days and we're having  a ball--so much fun that I often am forgetting to take pictures of our meals but here are a few:

 

Deviled eggs, cheese/salami, beets and sausage rolls

 

 

Striped bass, frog legs, mac and cheese, cucumber salad and some zucchini

 

 

Rice noodle salad

 

 

[Dejah]

Cool enough a couple of days ago to do a single rib roast in the oven for supper. Enough leftovers for lunch next day.

 

                                           

 

Daughter gave me a Starfrit electric spiralizer for my bday!

Finally got around to trying it out. I'd love vegetables done any way, and this was pretty. Hubby is not keen on veg as a substitute for pasta, but with Alfredo sauce...OK!

                                           

[Okanagancook]

Lamb chops, parsnip puree, new potatoes & sliced garlic with mint done in the CSO and asparagus pan fried with an anchovy/lemon/garlic crumb.

Strawberry short cake.

Thanks.   No counter space left until the recent toaster oven dies or gets donated 

 

Tonight, keeping it simple, Patagonian scallops with garlic, parsley and angel hair pasta

Pork belly, brown rice

[ElsieD]

I made @Duvel 's jerk cured beef again.  We had it with planked potatoes, broccoli and carrots.  That beef is soooo good.  Cured for 7 days and cooked sous vide for 24 hours at 134F.  I wish I could remember where I bought it as the marbeling is terrific.

@scubadoo97 -- Donate the toaster oven. Get the CSO. You will never look back and regret it. I probably use it more than any other small electric appliance in my kitchen, save the coffee maker, which gets used three or four times daily.

[Dante]

Tonight's dinner, mapo tofu with chard over noodles

[Dejah]

Mapo Tofu...Me too! me TOO!

 

Hubby called it "an interesting and delicious concoction"

Mapo Tofu with ground lamb and diced eggplant. Eaten with stir-fried bok choy...Missing the rice...

                                                  

[HungryChris]

Mussels with garlic, wine, herbs and a proper garlic bread for dippage.
