Dinner 2019

Pizza.

Ninety second pizza.  Top is great, bottom is burnt.  Burnt in ninety seconds.  Wish I could get this right.

 

Raging heat would have seared hair from my arms.  But I have no hair on my arms.  Heat did raise bloody welts.  Pictures on request.  Dropping the four foot floured peel on the floor did not entirely help.

I go hiking every day and only have energy to drink beer by the time I get back. There are 4 restaurants in the village and 3 are open from Fri-Sun (Sun for lunch only). Yesterday none was open. My dinner looks like this on most days.

 

Jamón Ibérico and hard sheep's cheese bought in Jabugo

Bastardized kuku sabzi. Blended the herbs to make the texture less rustic, added kashkaval cheese. I intended to include the walnuts within, but forgot, so they went on top.

Baked sweet potato, with tahini paste, pumpkin seeds and mint (added after the picture was taken). We had a guest who doesn't like tahini, so subbed cream on one of them.

Roasted spiced cauliflower, with tomatoes, parsley, mint. Lemony tahini sauce on the side.

Chopped salad.

@shainloooove it! Which herbs did you put in the Kuku? Ah, ah, I also have in the repertoire an Ottolenghi eggplant kuku, which I renamed bastardized Italian kuku 🤣

 

@BonVivant I don’t feel pity for you no finding a restaurant open 😙 😋

Thanks :) Kuku with eggplant sound great. I used mostly dill and parsley, some tarragon and spring onion greens. Skipped the cilantro, because I wasn't sure if it will be well received. There's also dried cranberries, turmeric and pepper.

Sound great. Tarragon is hard around here...I’ll try a mini version to see how it goes. I have a pool party for Wednesday and things like this are ideal. I could also try a “Greek” version with zucchini, mint and dill, plus feta. Thanks for the inspiration.

I ran across a recipe that looked interesting so last time I was at the store I grabbed a head of cauliflower---the recipe is a curry cauliflower and egg salad.  You roast the cauliflower and some onion with a drizzle of olive oil, salt and curry for about 20 minutes.  Then mix in mayo, chopped hard boiled egg, capers and black pepper.  Sprinkled with parsley for some color.  I liked this.  Kind of like a potato salad .....the roasted cauliflower with curry is interesting.  Ronnie liked it too, which surprised me a bit.  He's not a huge curry fan.

Anyway, venison burgers on the grill with the usual sides to go with.  It was a wonderfully chilly night...should have had soup, but the tomatoes were calling.

That was Ronnie's---he smashed it down right after the picture.  Looked like a truck ran over it.

The bottom might be burnt, but the top looks delicious!

 

Last night, clean out the fridge BLT pasta

Certainly looks great.  I am partial to mushrooms.  What are you baking your pizzas in?

I saw a box of corn flake crumbs on a shelf at the store and it brought back memories of when I was single. I often made a James Beard recipe for oven "fried" chicken. It dipped chicken in evaporated milk then rolled it in corn flake crumbs and baked.  I thought I'd try it again and followed the recipe on the box that made a batter first, then added the corn flake crumbs.  Almost a year ago Charlie got a lot of mac and cheese at Costco and we are finally down to the last box. The green beans were cooked for about a minute in the Instant Pot.

Norm - that is very classic. There a rom-com (romantic comedy -( a fave of Mrs Obama) where the chef crushes ice cream cones for a sort of waffle taste in the same sort of application :)

Pardon welt is no longer raised.  Pizza would have been worth it except for that bottom crust.

Thank you.  In my apartment standard issue electric oven;  550F, preheated for about an hour.  On a 12 inch by 12 inch by 1 inch slab of aluminum.

Now that you mention it, I recall using Ritz cracker crumbs or something similar a couple of times.
