I'd give it two "likes" if you scraped off the cauliflower.

Hey, @JoNorvelleWalker - I'll eat the cauliflower if you take care of the fungus.  Deal? 😊

Id give it an extra point for the cauliflower. Sweet roasty flavors there

Several of us could divide up the platter and it would make a tasty meal.

 

 

So in the end you all have decided to steal my dinner and split it up amongst yourselves? Perhaps I need to double-check my door locks.

But think of all the other internet points you'll have 😆

@mm84321 - some nice photos, but one will have little to no clue what he/she is looking at and enjoying without some sort of a (even basic) description!

Made another batch of cottage cheese so I used some to stuff some ravioli--spinach, cottage cheese and spicy Italian sausage

 

[HungryChris]

Spotted these little steaks after a pretty late lunch with Deb and thought they might just fit into our dinner plans, which they did.

I smeared them with roasted garlic compound butter and threw then onto a hot, hot grill for just a few scant minutes.

Some sour cream with the first of the season chives out of the herb tubs on the deck was a welcome addition.

I said much the same thing earlier in this thread.  If he didn't see my comment perhaps he will see yours.  Without a basic description the pictures, while nice to look at, don't really mean much.

Beetroot stew with onion, celery, chickpeas, baharat, chili, allspice.

Served with couscous and semolina-chickpea dumplings.

I made shrimp and sausage kebabs on the grill outside today and @ElsieD, I don't think the smokeless indoor grill would measure up to the smoky flavor I got with the grill.   The recipe said to put the vegetables and the shrimp on the same skewer and cook them all together but I felt that the mushrooms would take longer to cook than the shrimp so I did them on different skewers and put the shrimp on after the vegetables were done on one side.

 

Good call on the mushrooms

 

those skewers look delicious

At my age I don't have to justify my dinner:  a pot of Rancho Gordo Moro beans

 

I'm trying to clean out the pantry/fridge so finished off a bag of Rancho Gordo Marcella beans along with a can of TJs artichoke hearts and a small Parm Reg piece, some Campari tomatoes on the side. Smitten Kitchen gave me the idea for Cannellini aglio e olio. Might have been better with a bit of feta cheese or queso fresco on top in place of the Parm but it wasn't too bad!

I LOVE lamb shanks. My favourite cut. 

 

Lamb Shanks might just be what I would have on the menu if I knew it was going to be my last meal on earth.

The last couple of times I've cooked them, I've made them in the Breville PC and they turn out perfectly fork tender in just 50 minutes.

I brown first in a cast iron skillet and then place them in the PC while I brown a couple of white onions, a full of head of garlic, cloves just peeled and cracked and seasoned with fresh rosemary and salt and pepper. Added to the PC with some beef broth and a squirt of tomato paste and then cooked at the "bone in meat" setting for 50 minutes.

Just steelhead and salad

Perhaps he doesn’t want to. He’s always been a minimalist.

I saw her post - interesting idea, and feta sounds like a plan.

No, you have to drag it out. "Scallop rolls? Agaaaaiiiin?" Ideally with an eyeroll and a despairing flail of the hands.

(j/k...those look amazing)

Braised Lamb shanks, my all time favorite meal.   I always do mine in the oven didn’t think the PC could  create the texture that the oven can.  You’ve changed my mind

I do them in the Instant Pot all the time.  They're great.

@scubadoo97,  I was a little leery the first time I tried it, but was more than pleasantly surprised that they turned out no different that when I did them in the oven. 

Browning first in cast iron and adding everything including the broth to the PC while hot shortens the time even further.  Comes up to pressure quickly and then cooks for 50 minutes.  

If the shanks are on the large side I increase the time to 52 minutes on the Breville PC. 

 

Same with Oxtails.   I love the way they turn out in the PC as well.
