Last night's dinner.

 

 

Chile Rellenos.  Black beans cooked in the Breville PC. 

[David Ross]

Well this one is ironic.  The first dish I did last night, a Grilled Halibut with Red Chile Sauce and a "Green" rice using some of the fire-roasted Hatch chiles I got last weekend.  And when I went to look in my archives at eGullet to see if I had posted about the Red Chile Sauce before, I found another dish from the dinner thread back in 2014.....

Red Chile Sauce, September 2018-

 

Tenderloin with Red Chile Sauce, Mashed Potato and Roasted Poblano & Corn Salad-

And I hope after all these years, the food photography skills have shown a little improvement.....

Always amazing food posted here.  

 

Tonight was a hodgepodge of leftovers from this weekend.  Have a friend that owns a few Sonny’s BBQ.   His stores are a big notch above the rest.

Raw baby bok choy

 Can’t say that I’ve ever thought of eating bok choy raw. Did you find an alternate use for the stems? I’m just curious. I have some baby bok choy in the refrigerator and I will certainly be sampling it raw.

Just treat it like any other salad green. I de-stem it for salads but you don't really need to. I use the stems in soups and stocks etc.

Chicken hot pot. This was loosely based on a recipe in Donabe: Classical and Modern Japanese Claypot Cooking.

Broiled Five Spice Pork Chops (finished with Worcestershire Sauce and Green Onions) with a Spinach Salad 

 

[Okanagancook]

Looks delicious as usual!  I am coming to Southeast Texas😄

[Steve Irby]

A little meat glue action tonight. I used a dusting of transglutaminase on  chicken breast, with the tenderloin flipped around to achieve a more cylindrical shape, wrapped with thick cut bacon.  Vacuum bagged overnight and oven roasted.   

 

[Okanagancook]

Meat glue is very useful.  I use it for rack of lamb...the trimmings of meat removed along with the fat cap are glued back on making for a nice thick slab of meat.

Panko baked cauliflower with avocado-tahini dip, corn on the cob, and a green salad

 

[Dejah]

Having tooth issues, so soft foods the last few days:

Pickerel Fish 'n' Chips with curry gravy
                                             

A friend gave me beets, already cooked, ventured into Borscht land

 

                                           

The "Beet friend" is a potter and I love using her platters and casseroles. I can bake in them and platters keep the food hot...while I take pictures before we can eat.
Her husband loves Steak 'n' Kidney pie but the rest of the family do not, so I made him a pie in one of his wife's casseroles. The whole family ended up eating the pie!
                                         

 

                                        

Shepherd's Pie was also made in one of my friend's casseroles.  Thought we'd have enough for two meals, then our son showed up...NO leftovers!

 

                                         

 

A former colleague came for a visit tonight, and I made Paella -  it was her first taste of this dish. I let her have the crusty bits

                

                                         

 

Dessert was cherry pie!

@Dejah That borscht looks wonderful! Pity I can't get beets here.

[scubadoo97]

Last night made a pan seared chicken breast served with fried okra and tomatoes.   The okra Inspired from a dish I learned of from Suvir Saran when he use to post here 

 

 

 

 

[CantCookStillTry]

@Dejah I'll take one of each Pie please! I will outright blame you when my husband gets the "Pie for Dinner" Stink Eye. 
He associates pie with a quick one hand driving snack suitable only for Breakfast or Lunch.  

[Okanagancook]

Crab cakes, stuffed zucchini with lemon-egg sauce and mashed potatoes (skin left on).

[ElsieD]

@Okanagancook  What is the zucchini stuffed with?  Looks good!
