Lunch 2020

[Raamo]

Green Beans with Roasted Pepper and Shallots

 

Cookbook is Stone Edge Farm Kitchen Larder Cookbook

 

 

I had to ferment peppers and dry cherry tomatoes to make this dish, it was very good.  Definitely a restaurant level dish.

[BonVivant]

I have been eating dumplings. A lot of dumplings.

 

 

Russian-style (with fried onions and cream on the side)

 

The filling

 

 

Flatfish roe from the fishmonger

 

Sambal ulek for everything

[KennethT]

This place opened recently. Quite tasty but I had read that it was spicy and it definitely wasn't. Even their chili paste was mild - good flavor though

 

 

Stir fried celery. I have to make this at home. Quite tasty.

 

Beef and chive mono

 

Chicken thenthuk

[Kim Shook]

Mr. Kim unearthed a pepperoni roll from the freezer for his lunch yesterday:

 

Jessica has some friends that make these.  Bake/Steam in the CSO and it was perfect.  He's having the last one today.  They are spicy, so I had tuna salad.

Smothered okra over long grain rice.

It says in the recipe I gave.

 

Quote

Dry fry the buns in a skillet until they take on some colour about a minute or less on each side, then finish in the oven for ten minutes. Allow to cool before using.

As in rosé. This is the term we use in Israel for what is better known as "vodka sauce". I guess it is derived from Italian "salsa rosa". However I'm pretty sure that Italians don't use this term for the sauce.

Google suggest "pasta al baffo" for a version with ham. I wonder what lead to it being named after "mustache" (baffo)...

Normally, salsa rosa is ketchup and mayonnaise mixed together in Italy. But I've seen the term used for pasta too. In fact my FIL used to make paccheri with shrimp and brandy in "salsa rosa" (and it was tomato with a splash of cream).

I thought, no, the place has been open for a while. Then I see they recently opened on 1st Avenue, so no schlepping to Jackson Heights. Except, I guess, if you want the real spice-level of the OG, not the level for the hipsters in the EV.

 

I really love stir-fried celery. If you're a celery fan, check out this super-easy recipe for celery, from Kenta at Bar Goto...

Snap!  I made almost an identical dinner last night.  I mixed my egg and seasonings (oyster sauce, soy sauce and sesame oil) with the rice.  I didn’t have enough rice so made a small bundle of cut up vermicelli noodles to add to the dish.  I added blanched carrot cubes, a few shrimp and chicken cubes.  Served with stir fried garden spinach.😃

Indeed - with that tuna mixed with mayo! And another one with some furikake - last minute thought otherwise I'd have had some filling at hand.

Lest anyone think that the perfect triangle of rice was produced by these hands, I could just pretend. But really...

 

 

Some single use kitchen gadgets come in mighty handy, Alton.

Linguine with seared shrimp, local mini heirlooms, garden basil and pecorino Romano. Yum.

[CantCookStillTry]

I made a Quiche. With Bacon, Onion & Cheese. 

Everyone knows that spring, when the temperature is rising above 30c again is the perfect time to dabble with melty melty shortcrust 🙄. 

 

 

My first batch of onion turned green. Weird. I threw it out after some googling. 

[heidih]

Ya just have to be deft with pastry (not daft)  Sure it was fine 

[CantCookStillTry]

It was fine. I had some shrinkage as you can see. Base was a little under. I am a lazy cook, and I believe really good shortcrust requires speed to keep the butter cold. Speed I cannot be bothered to have on a lazy Sunday 😄. 

 

(Or a MTWTFS). 

[BonVivant]

Happy days are here again. Turkish figs!

 

And other things to eat with the figs

 

Camembert wants to run away

 

Dipped in Lindt 99%

Mung bean noodles with (store-bought) deep-fried shallots and chilli oil

 

DIY soup. North Sea shrimp shell broth with jarred tom yum paste.

[kayb]

Brunch quickie hash brown casserole. 

 

Hash brown patties in the bottom of a baking dish, chopped bacon, grated cheese, and eggs beaten with half and half over all. Baked 25 minutes at 350F on steam bake in the CSO.

 

Diced garden tomatoes on the side. 

 

[Kim Shook]

@CantCookStillTry – lovely looking crust on that quiche.  Quiche is one of my very favorite foods and I hardly ever make it.

 

@BonVivant – I believe I got drunk looking at your gorgeous figs.

 

On Friday I was putting together casseroles for my in laws and a church friend and his mom (the doofus who went without his mask and exposed us to Covid so that we had to go back to serious quarantining for 2 weeks😠) and I realized at about 4pm that I hadn’t eaten all day.  So, it was yogurt and grape nuts for lunch (I guess it counts as lunch):
