Breakfast 2020!

[blue_dolphin]

Josef Centeno's book, Amá, includes a recipe for Broccolini Torrada that features broiled broccolini tossed with what he likens to a Mexican-inspired version of bagna cauda made with toasted walnuts and pecans, garlic, anchovy, olive oil, lime juice and zest, chiles, cilantro and a few other spices.  I've been wanting to make it and put an egg on top but broccolini has been absent from my house for a while. I decided to go ahead and make it for breakfast today with broccoli instead. 

That sauce is certainly a flavor-bomb.  I used TJ's Unexpected Cheddar for the "aged white cheddar" called for but it's really not necessary with everything else going on in that sauce.

This morning was my niece's Senior Breakfast, conducted via Zoom of course.  I made her the official recipe of her high school's Senior Breakfast, blueberry bread pudding.

 

 

[Kim Shook]

@robirdstx – that is an absolutely scrumptious looking bacon, egg, and biscuit & gravy breakfast.  I, however, would need one additional biscuit for the egg to be dribbled on. Wow!  Also, I just added frozen hash browns to my shopping list.  Every time I see you’ve used them like that, I want it. 

 

@liamsaunt – I love the look of your pudding.  Did you halve the recipe?  It looks like a square baking dish and I was wondering how you got all of that into an 8x8 or 9x9 pan.  Also, am I the only one who sees a line of blueberry birds down the right side?

 

 

Yesterday:

Benton’s bacon and ATK sandwich bread toasted with butter and strawberry jam.

Potato & Egg Breakfast Taco with Mexican Salmorejo, Tomatillo Salsa and Borracho Beans, all from Josef Centeno's book, Amá

Edited to add that the taco filling is sliced potato, sautéed with a bit of chopped bacon, shallot, serrano chile. Eggs get scrambled into the mix at the end with a sprinkle of cheddar  when it goes into the tortillas.  There's a recipe for homemade tortillas in the book but I was lazy and used store-bought. 

 

@shain, your beans on toast were on my mind all day yesterday so after I cooked these borracho beans last night, I made myself beans on toast for dinner with pickled onions and a bit of cheddar.  It just hit the spot!

We still have a little OJ French toast leftover from a Breakfast-for-Dinner meal the other night:

I'm so predictable. Home grown toast, well buttered. Smoked Irish salmon. Persian cuke. Cara Cara orange (and this might be the last one - sniff, sniff).

 No, I made the full recipe.  That is an 8x8 pan.  I just pressed down on the bread to make it all fit.

This was suppose to be last night's dinner, but didn't happen.

 

Spatchcocked chicken marinated yesterday morning with lots of garlic, lemon zest, juice of a large lemon, salt, pepper, oregano and some hot pepper flakes and olive oil.

Now I really wish I had a chicken!

I need some smelling salts.  Wow.  Mr. Kim (working from home and wandered by on the phone) wanted to know if that is a puffin.  LOL

I'd eat it.

I would say make your chorizo & eggs the way you like,  heat a large flour tortilla in a skillet, sprinkle with grated cheddar,  cover half with the eggs, fold it in half and give it a minute to get all stuck together. 

 

I made the recipe for Grandma Alice's Chipotle Chorizo in Josef Centeno's Amá (recipe available online at this link) using a nice piece of pork belly and let that sit in the fridge for a day before cooking. It's quite tasty and I do recommend the recipe if you want to make your own.  I intended to use some in breakfast tacos from the book but I was missing an ingredient to make the fresh tortillas.  I had some in the freezer but they were too big for tacos so I switched to quesadillas.  I like crispy so I wasn't disappointed.  

For one 9.5 inch tortilla, I scrambled 2 eggs, 1 large green onion, thinly sliced and ~ 1/3 cup of chorizo and used a little less than an ounce of grated cheddar.  As you can see in the photo, the amount of filling is generous so you could certainly cut that down if you wanted. 

 

Pork belly, pre-grind:

 

Spices:

 

Chorizo - possibly a lifetime supply!
