Dinner 2020

For my birthday dinner last night, I requested a pasta, with no red or cream sauce.  Mi esposo made penne with cauliflower, bacon and toasted bread crumbs.

I need this in my life.  Could you post the chicken liver recipe please?  I actually have pomegranate molasses.

 

The recipe is easy peasy. Also, I forgot to add the sugar and didn't miss it.

 

http://www.kathrynbruton.com/recipes/chicken-liver-with-pomegranate-molasses/

 

Ingredients

SERVES 4

500g chicken liver, washed and trimmed of any sinew

4 tablespoons of pomegranate molasses

5-6 garlic cloves, sliced thinly

Knob of butter

1-2 tbsp of olive oil

1 tsp of caster sugar

Pomegranate seeds and coriander to garnish (optional)

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a pan big enough to hold the chicken livers
  2. When hot, fry the chicken livers until browned on each side, about 7-10 minutes, depending on how you like them cooked
  3. Remove from the pan and set aside momentarily
  4. Add the butter and allow to melt, it should foam
  5. Add the sliced garlic and fry for about 30 seconds
  6. Return the chicken liver, add the pomegranate molasses and sugar and stir
  7. Allow the molasses to bubble on a very low heat for about 1 minute
  8. Season to taste - I like to serve mine garnished with fresh pomegranate seeds and chopped coriander or parsley
 
PS - I had some pomegranate seeds in the freezer and they may have been there a while. The color didn't pop.

This sounds heavenly.  I must find some livers soon.  Thank you!!!

That version of chicken livers also works really well with caramelized onions and balsamic vinegar reduction, if pomegranate molasses is too hard to source.

 

Or hot pepper jelly. Duck livers make it special.

@Franciif you will be in Southern Naples— visit Marco Island if you can. Excellent restaurant there— Fin Bistro.

Thank you for the tip, will be in Naples 3-4 days, so maybe we’ll have time for it.

As they say in real estate, location, location, location.

You now live in Florida so you really can't expect the restaurants to be great, I'm sorry to say (as someone who visited the state many times over 20 - 25 years). 

 

However, if you find yourself in Tampa, there's always Bern's. 

 

 

One further. When in Tampa, go down into Ybor City and go to Columbia. The flamenco dancers are worth the trip, but the food ain't bad, either.

 

 

@CantCookStillTry, in those occasions, I recommend wine. However, a full Southern Special (eggs @your choice, bacon or country ham, biscuits, gravy, sliced tomatoes, fried apples, hash browns) never goes amiss.

Well, son #2 (17) just bought a small home and is preparing to move out in December. Suddenly he has realized that he needs some cooking skills!

 

Tonight our oldest daughter took him under her wing and they made pizza and salad. One was a like a margherita but with a balsamic reduction sauce, and the other had a basic tomato sauce, with salami.

 

They did great at everything except the cleanup...which is par for the course I guess.

Supper was Maple and Mustard Salmon, except I used steelhead trout. Same colour😊
Trying to use up some hash brown potato patties I picked up for the grandkids.
Liked this recipe by Chef Michael Smith. I did the fish on a baking sheet with ridges and in the oven. It was easy and quick.

No matter what I do, I can't really make this look as delicious as it actually tastes - even Rosie rolls her eyes...

Chirashi.  With poached shrimp, poached scallops, ikura, and Sockeye salmon, which I smoke roasted (barely cooked) in the CSO (don't ask).

 

And avocado and pickled ramp!

Beige scallops. Evidently, females.
