Chip & dip pizza

IMG_0248.thumb.jpg.b371bac31d19213f3492baf20296f7f4.jpg

Ottolenghi's Simple has a Pizza Bianca that's topped with a mix of mascarpone, pecorino Romano, anchovy, lemon zest, spring onions and sage beneath thin, roasted, slices of potato.

I made it simpler yet with just a layer of Boursin under the spuds, which are russet instead of the specified new potatoes.  The crust was the pizza/pita dough from Shaya. So, yeah, nothing really from that original recipe 🙃

Had a prime rib in the oven a couple of nights ago. Got a frantic call from d-i-l who had to go to emergency at the hospital. Son was away to a conference. Luckily, I had the oven on @275F and got hubby to turn it off after 3 hours as I was longer than anticipated.
By the time I got home, I was too beat to cook sides, so picked up A & W burgers for our supper. We like the A & W burgers the best of the 3 main fast food places.  The latest promo is the '56 Burger to celebrate the 56th year of the company. I got the '56 Mama Burger in lettuce wrap. A couple of weeks ago, I picked up a lettuce wrap burger from "the other big chain". Protein is different but same concept. What a difference! Now you know why we prefer A & W. Are there any of this chain in USA?

The other chain's Jalapeno Chicken Lettuce Wrap

We finally got to eat the prime rib roast last night. I am in love with the Anova for reheating the roast without overcooking! The roast was medium by the time hubby turned the oven off but left it for another hour before I got home. After 1 hour @135F, it came out the same!

I have a question about the reheating the prime rib, and then I want to go back to A & W since nobody else has responded.

 

When you reheated the prime rib @135F for an hour,

(a) did you simply reheat individual slices, or the whole thing and then slice?

(b) how tightly did you seal the meat - full vacuum seal, or simply displacement method in a zip-lock style bag?

 

The roast looks delightful.

 

Now, back to your A & W question: yes, we still have them in the USA although I think they've lost a lot of market share to other chains. It was our family's preferred burger chain when I was growing up, and I especially remember the burgers and fries we'd get from them on a road trip. Ther sauce in particular was excellent. I had to go online to see whether any still exist, though.

 

Thanks for showing the difference between their lettuce wraps and "the other chain's" lettuce wrap. That's a deal-maker right there!

I cut a chunk of maybe 3" thick sans ribs , 2/3 of the 2 ribber, resealed it in a new vacuum bag, then back into the sous vide. Sliced it when it came out at the end. 
I haven't trust myself to try the displacement method in a ziplock. Have you tried that?
Just pulled the other 1/3 from the freezer. It is now thawed and will be eaten for sandwiches at lunch.

 I like your version better and for me it’s doable although I would have to cheat even more and buy the crust! I might even be lazy enough to substitute with kettle chips. No apologies for me — you do what you gotta do!   Thanks for sharing. You are always inspiring.

Forgot to pull protein from the freezer the night before, so I decided to try frozen meat in sous vide.

Bought a whole pork loin a while back and had cut it into thirds. These were in ziplocks, but I took it out, seasoned it with commercial Creole seasoning, then decided to throw in a couple of Thai lime leaves and lemongrass.

Water temp was brought up to 150F, and the roast cooked for 3.5 hours Lovely! The meat is so lean, but it came out tender, moist, with a hint of floral.

Eaten with bacon wrapped asparagus, oven roasted along with carrot fries and chayote. Hubby always wants apple cause with his roast pork.

Dinning solo

What to do with 4 large white shrimp while still in the burger mood. 

Puréed one shrimp with a little wheat bread that I did a medium grind on in the food processor with a little mayo.  Turned it into a paste, then more coarsely chopped up the remaining 3 shrimp and mixed it all together and breaded it in the remaining bread crumb.   Fried in butter.  Salt to season.

That is pretty much how I make my shrimp burgers.  Looks delicious!

Yeah, I've had that dinner more often that I care to confess to in such esteemed company. Still, there's always tomorrow.

over on the Tj's thread there was mention of Tj's Poblano Ravioli

 

https://forums.egullet.org/topic/155097-trader-joes-products-2017–/?page=18

 

 

@Smithy started the ravioli Rolling ,

I hope its OK to use this pic from @Smithy

 

I finally got to my pack   I like ravioli in a broth of sorts :

 

Mise

Mise II :

 

Rav2.thumb.jpg.4eac34f8f21afaf756005d35266e3a15.jpg

 

I finely dice my Parmeswan-ish these days.  that's an egg to add at the end of cooking and a 1/4 Fz ' brick ' of 4X stock , mostly turkey  mentioned in the iPot thread

 

the resultant dish :

 

Rav3.thumb.jpg.c5b9a2eb526bf0067dee334cf825fd7a.jpg

 

the dish itself was outstanding :  cook the ravioli in the stock , in this case w the addition of some water as the 4X stock is powerful  it had no seasoning added to it.

 

however , as @Smithy noted in the TJ's thread

 

the pasta itself is not overwhelmingly tasty in any distinctive way.   there is not a lot of filling , and what flavors there are, are muted.   the pasta , as pasta was very nice

 

the stock made this dish, as did the little biites of parmesan-ish   you can't see them but you note them as you gobble this down.

 

so this as stock and flat pasta , with some add-ins , ended up very tasty.

  • So.... was going to try out a recipe that was an arctic char en papillote with a sauce of capers, shallot, olive oil, sherry vinegar and capers and asparagus.   Only problem was that the local Shoprite was out of char.  Bought a piece of salmon and made it for John ( as many times as I have tried salmon including fresh in Washington state I just can't stand the taste - I do like char, though).  Made the recipe and served with wild and brown rice that had some scallions mixed in.
  • I had half a pear and some Ewe's blue cheese.

Nothing is better than frying in lard.

Nothing.  Do not quote me on this.

And here I thought I was the only one who doesn't like salmon.  Oddly enough, it is only fresh salmon I don't like, although i like it as lox or as smoked salmon.  Canned is also fine, but only as a salmon salad sandwich.  I have never had arctic char, mainly because it looks like salmon.  What does it taste like?

Bought some burrata cheese the other day.  Cut up some campari tomatoes and drizzled with balsamic ...not too bad.  Would be much better with garden tomatoes.  And, it was pizza night.  Canadian bacon.
