Pizza night again

 

With dark chocolate pudding and more of those wonderful strawberries

 

 

@rotutsall the green on the pizza is jalapeños so no worries  

[ElsieD]

@Shelby  I would really, really, like some of those berries.  We are still at least a month away.

Oh they are so good.  SO much better than I can get at the store.  I'm very lucky that she gives me some of hers.  That's why I try to keep her in fresh caught fish and ducks and geese.

Okay.    So I had some leftover Dungeness crab meat (I know, how can you have some leftover Dungeness crab meat??) but I did.  It was going to spoil soon.  I remembered in my freezer I had some shrimp, that I would never use unless it was a soup or sauced dish.    So.....looking into the pantry and fridge, I saw ingredients that would make one of my favorite restaurant dishes as a kid.  I am not sure how wide spread "Chi Chis" was, but their seafood enchiladas (called "Cancun") was absolutely one of my all time favorite dishes as a kid.  Sure, Rick Bayless and other great Mexican chefs may not be impressed, but I recreated this dish tonight.

 

Dungeness crab and shrimp in a sherry/cream/lobster sauce wrapped in enchiladas.     May not be Mexican or even Tex Mex, but it is outstanding.  Especially unlike Chi Chis, I am using real crab and real shrimp or lobster.

 

Enjoy.

 

 

I've been meaning to tell you ever since I saw your post that every time we went to Chi Chi's this is what I ordered too!!!  Came sizzling on that very hot plate along with rice and refried beans.  Heavenly.  I'm sure that yours were even more delicious using the real stuff

@TdeV, not sure which recipe you wanted.  If it is the Leek Spinach Tart I found the recipe here:

 

Leek, Spinach and Feta Tart

 

The only thing I did different was to add some roasted red peppers and to use homemade pastry.

 

The pastry recipe is on this blog post:

 

First Rhubarb Pie of the Season

[BonVivant]

What I've been eating:

A small but very thick piece of liver

 

I ask the fishmonger to save all the roe for me (he even charges less than other fishmongers). In Lyon it costs about 30 euros per kilo. Ouch. I pay 1/3.

All kinds of roe from flatfish and herring etc. Lightly dredged in flour and fried in duck fat.

 

Seared salmon

 

 

 

SV goat's leg.

[mgaretz]

"Roast" beef sandwich, raw carrots and potato sticks for dinner.  Roast is in quotes because I actually cooked it SV, seared, then sliced after cooling.

 

 

[Dante]

Tonight's dinner: Roasted cauliflower tacos with salsa and avocado, with roasted pineapple (roasted whole with basil and cayenne/maple sugar seasoning) on the side.

[Ann_T]

Last night's dinner. 

Made the sauce and cooked the Italian Sausage and rapini before leaving for work yesterday morning.

Stuffed shells with a mixture of ricotta with garlic, egg , mozzarella and parmesan and the sausage and rapini.

 

Placed sauce in the bottom of a casserole dish, added the stuffed shells, topped with more sauce, and fresh mozzarella and parm and baked for 20 minutes.

[rotuts]

@Ann_T

 

Stuffed Shells is one of my very favorite dinners.

Grilled SV Hamburger on a Toasted Ciabatta Bun with Potato Salad

[BeeZee]

Lit the grill for the first time this year. Grilled boneless chicken breasts, yams (par cooked halfway in micro), zucchini. Also did a batch of extra firm tofu that I coated with a dijon based marinade, put the slices on oiled foil so the bottom would brown...future lunches.

[heidih]

@BeeZee  Amazing how oiled tofu and foil produce something loveley. I'm partial to tumeric and a hint of fish sauce.with just squirt of citrus (unripe oranges usually)
