Macaroni with sausage (Aidell's chicken artichoke, I think - and it's good), spinach, tomatoes, Parmigiano, etc.

It was steak night, of sorts, tonight. I had my lamb chops and Deb had her steak. That little bowl next to the A1 is a little experiment of mine, it's garlic and sage compound butter that I wanted to try on the potatoes. We both liked it quite a bit! I'll be doing more with that, I can tell.

Before the grill.

And here they are just off the grill.

I knew we didn't stand a chance of finishing these sides, but I'll probably drag them out later and make a good run at them.

O-a chian, AKA oyster omelette.

I subbed mussels for oysters, seafood is not very popular in Israel, so selection is often limited.

Pictured is the first batch I made, by the second one I figured the timing and amounts that result in crispy edges.

Served with rice.

I found a sirloin tip roast on sale and was unsure how to cook it.  Got some good advice on another thread and went with sous vide.   Out of the water bath:

Seared:

I had home made beef stock and some beef fat in the freezer, so I was able to make very good gravy, Yorkies, and roast potatoes.

Completely unseasonable, but really good and really satisfying.

that looks tasty

 

would you consider passing along the details ,perhaps in the iPot thread

 

if that's what you used

 

The pork was from a pork shoulder roast that was cooked in the Instant Pot and I have posted about it there previously. Tonight’s meal was brought together with leftover pork (shredded), vegetables steamed on the stove top, and the jarred simmer sauce.

 

Served with Garlic Naan:

This afternoon my wife made Sameh Wadi's slow cooked green beans. (for dinner)

 

It's from The New Mediterranean Table: Modern and Rustic Recipes Inspired by Traditions Spanning Three Continents 

 

There was a great Restaurant in Minneapolis called Saffron where we first had these green beans, it's closed now.  But before it did a cookbook linked above was published.

 

The green beans are from our garden, here's everything that goes into the dish, the spices are numerous of course...

20190726_154429.thumb.jpg.f91837c6fdf1345025dcbc2fe06f5a56.jpg

 

All this goes into a pot... and cooks for ~2 hours..

20190726_155413.thumb.jpg.be6140ed5127f7b5d862cd546b3ebcbc.jpg

 

 

And this is what you end up with, it's SO GOOD!

20190726_175902.thumb.jpg.6a4812a341b4d98726160957ecdf030c.jpg

 

We ate this with homemade naan - it works great warm and at room temp (never tried cold)

 

We forgot to take a picture of a dinner plate, but she  took pictures of the steps and wanted me to post this.  If you like mediterranean food this is a great cookbook, but note it's not really weeknight meals unless prepared in advance.

Leftovers tonight along with some Hanover tomatoes:

PS - Thank you, @Shelby, for your hint about how to peel a tomato more easily.  I scraped it with the back of my knife and it came right off!!!

 

Open faced Yorkie/beef/gravy sandwiches, potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and corn:

Having a CSO makes leftovers SO much better.  The potatoes, the Yorkies and the sprouts were all done in it.

A Love Salad, of local fame, with a big shrimp cocktail. This salad is a garlic lovers dream.

Of course, I almost forgot the mandatory garlic toasts were in the oven, until the photographer had almost left the building.

Thank you for joining the cool kids' club dedicated to eradicating  tomato skins.

 

 

 

😁

I want in!    Please point me to your skin removal system.    Tomato skins, pro and con, are raising some hackles on another site.     Must be the season!   TIA.

(Is there a club handshake or secret word?)

This is a kind of wordy description .....later on in this same blog I show pictures.  Basically, if I'm just peeling a few, I run the back of a knife down the tomato applying a bit of pressure.  This loosens the skin and lets the peel come off quite easily :)

Ronnie has been out of town for a few days fishing in the ocean.  I had to pick him up from the airport at about 6 last night so I made a lasagna earlier in the day so it would be easy to heat up when we finally got home.

 

It's hard  to make lasagna look pretty lol

Nothing is better than frying in lard.

Nothing.  Do not quote me on this.

getting a bit muggy again.  Up at 6 am for laundry then made jasmine rice and it is cooling in the bottom of the fridge.  It will become  shrimp fried rice for tomorrow's linner for John.  Chicken thighs are thawed and I'm going to make a recipe we have started eating and love:  chicken with carrots and tarragon.

Yesterday made a version of my friend, Joyce's , mom's potato salad.  They were Italian from Brooklyn and opened a boarding house in the summer in Catskill, NY.  Connie did all the cooking.  Their potato salad was thinly sliced and steamed potatoes, frenched green beans that were also steamed, salt, pepper, olive oil and vinegar.  I do the same thing but add a couple of dashes of mixed herbs and celery salt instead of regular.

I also made another batch of four bean salad to eat by itself and with sandwiches(for me - John has decided he HATES sandwiches).
