Oh, it's like radicchio, right?

That was my first thought

I usually buy mine. Did not realize that they fake color it until I read the wiki just now. I wondered why it was red    How do you make yours?

CSO Whole Roasted Branzino, a favorite of mine:

 

 

 

Lots of bones but that is part of life.  When people are eaten by fish they probably say the same.

Anna, did you use nice, thick, whole milk buttermilk?  If the dressing is too thin I would try adding extra mayonnaise.

 

What is Treviso, other than a town near @teonzo?  Google was not much help.

 

The only buttermilk we can get here is very low fat.

Exactly. Very much like radicchio.

Okonomiyaki. Not the prettiest, but so good

 

 

[liamsaunt]

Last night, pan griddled flatbreads from Bread Illustrated.  Good, but I prefer the version I make on the grill more.  Considering it was about 15 degrees last night, using the grill was not an option.

 

 

I also made two recipes from Meera Sodha's Made in India. Salmon and spinach curry, and carmelized onion jeera rice

Shrimp in cream sauce

Chicken parm

 

 

Roast chicken

 

Flat iron steak with coffee/maple syrup/chili sauce and potatoes

Scalloped?

Yes. The Bourdain recipe basically. No cheese.

[Anna N]

 

A little of this and a little of that with some Momofuku ranch dressing.  The dressing had thickened up somewhat when first taken out of the refrigerator but reverted to a very liquid state after I dressed my plate with it. I wonder if subbing yoghurt for buttermilk might improve the texture. Unfortunately the only buttermilk we can get here is 1%. At least that is the only kind I have ever seen.

Do you see me hiding my head in shame? I had to go look up this book and Amazon kindly reminded me that I own it!

I  kinda think I'd love that version.....after seeing yours I had to make them (the cheesy kind) to go with meatloaf tonight.  Doing your version next.  

 

It's becoming a challenge to come up with edible dinner (for me)  that I and Ronnie enjoy during this damn dental crap.  Oh well......I've needed to lose weight for years 😁 the only upside lol.

3 bananas, sliced

1 medium onion, diced

tbsp minced garlic

tbsp minced ginger

1/2 tsp turmeric

1/2 tsp allspice

2 tbsp black vinegar

2 tbsp honey

2 tbsp dark rum

tbsp tomato paste

tbsp soy sauce

 

saute onion, garlic, ginger and bananas together.  When onions get translucent, toss all in to blender with rest of ingredients, blitz until smooth, adding bits of water if necessary to help in attaining smoothness

So husband was out and I fixed him a plate to go with a "glass of"

 

When he came in, he said he was starving and that this would suffice for a starter...so on to

thin-sliced short-ribs with wide noodles

[JoNorvelleWalker]

 

A bit of leftover dry aged prime ribeye.  I could easily have enjoyed the bowl of David Chang's ranch dressing on good bread without having prepared all the other stuff but it would not have made as pretty picture.

I'm not sure what to call this - just something I made up. Chinese, but not on any menu in China. I deboned a couple of chicken legs and cut up the meat, then marinaded it for 24 hours* with Pixian Doubanjiang, garlic, ginger, chilli and Shaoxing wine. Stir-fried but when almost done added some chicken stock to make it saucier. Sprinkled with Chinese chives and served with garlicky, wilted spinach and rice.

 

 

 

 

Only regret. Should have done more spinach. I know it shrinks, but...

* I didn't intend to leave it 24 hours, but life intervened and I knew it would come to no harm.

Even though I wanted to go to Cervo's last night, Significant Eater may be coming down with a cold and wanted to stay home; she did say I should go and hang in my favorite corner seat while drinking various weird wines, but no, I stayed home like the good husband and made her dinner.

 

I always do this before making what I made...

 

 

That is, toasting the peppercorns before crushing them in a mortar/pestle (it's the little things that make a difference, home cooks!).

 

And then...

 

 

Spaghetti cacio e pepe for two.  Sautéed haricot verts, with garlic, red pepper flakes and a couple of mini San Marzano plum tomatoes thrown in for fun.

I used it almost immediately probably within the hour. There are leftovers in the refrigerator so I will see what it’s like tomorrow. 

FWIW, I made a batch yesterday.   It was very thin.   Left out on the kitchen counter, I returned an hour or so later and it was not pourable.

Fattoush salad, the dressing is thick buttermilk, sumac, garlic, parsley, scallions, lemon and vinegar. Some crisp, and some softended pita chips.

 Freekeh, cooked into risotto texture, (but no cream/cheese) with chickpeas and mushrooms, paprika, a touch of cumin and a hint of cinnamon. Plenty of olive oil.
