Last night was fun... My wifes favorite are artichokes... So, i took the few that I had and steamed before cutting in half and grilling... After grilling, i served with homemade buttered bread crumbs and a sauce gribiche.. Accompanying the artichokes was a dry aged steak and some boiled and smashed potatotes.
Tarragon is my favorite thing, well that and star anise so, it was a win/win for all. If someone wants to come be my food stylist!
I will do something fun with the leftovers today or tomorrow
I love tarragon so much and it's a hard herb to find often.. So, on top of growing it at my house, we have a dish with tarragon on the menu so, i know I always have some at my shop in the walk in. It's essentially tarragon, chive, parsley, capers, sherry vinegar, shallots, olive oil, separated hard boiled eggs, neutral oil and cornichons.. I didn't have any pickles in the house outside of pickled peppers that I made... they were not too hot and I put a bit in and I didn't notice a major taste change.
Boiled and smashed potatoes.. I realized, that if you are drinking a scotch while you cook, you can use the bottom of your glass to smash the potatoes...
Now I go for a 5 mile run and ponder lunch.
