Dinner 2020

True potato pizza

Edit: Did not realize that this one came out upside down, a new feat for me!  Note: No Crayola markers were harmed in the making of this pizza.

 

Kids proclaimed this to be "in the birthday dinner book" and "top 6" - nice to have a decent Gluten Free 'pizza' alternative!

Sea scallops (frozen defrosted) just cooked on a sheet pan with some seasonings. Also roasted the not so great “baby” carrots from my recent produce delivery, along with fennel bulb sliced thinly. Tossed them with a little balsamic syrup and agave syrup after cooking. Seasoned rice from a pouch.

One of my favorite quick pickles that I make any time of year, Pickled Red Onions.  I was thinking about this recipe the other day when I was looking through some of my recipes.  Easy to make and they are great as a garnish for Mexican dishes, salads and sometimes I'll put them on top of scrambled eggs.

 

Ingredients-

1 large red onion, thinly sliced

2 cups water

1 cup apple cider vinegar

1 tbsp. salt

1 tbsp. granulated sugar

 

Instructions-

Cut the ends off the onion.  Use a mandoline style vegetable slicer to slice the onion into thin rings.  We set the slicer to cut thin onion rings no more than 1/8" thick.  Cut the slices of onion in half.

 

In a saucepan, add the water, apple cider vinegar, salt and sugar and bring to boil.  Take the saucepan off the heat and add the sliced red onion.

Let the brine and onions cool to room temperature, then place in a container, cover and refrigerate overnight to pickle.  The onions will turn a bright pink during pickling.

I used to make my pickled red onions similarly to this recipe, though I did not add sugar.

 

Then I met a Mexican chef who taught me the ways of his people!

 

Salt - Lime - sometimes chili.  That's it!

 

Salt the hell out of the onions, let them sweat out the water for 30-60 minutes, quick rinse - put in a jar and add a 2-3 limes worth of Juice.  Sometimes will add a fresh chili in there as well.

That's basically the Rick Bayless pickled red onion, but I think he blanches them in boiling water for like 10 seconds, drains, then salts and let sit.... then lime juice.  I used to make them whenever I'd make cochinita pibil...

Kitchen remodel’s mostly done, so we have the counter space to crank-out pasta: hand-cut fresh tagliatelle with an anchovy, arugula and shallot sauce.

Recipe, please?

A couple of easy peasy dinners. Last night was crab cakes with a radicchio orange salad from an e-recipe by Lidia Bastianich.  I bought a fresh leafy head of radicchio at the farmers market and combined it with the other ingredients including radishes, oil cured olives and orange supremes.  It was dressed with a simple dijon vinaigrette of lemon juice and orange juice\pulp.

 

  

 

The previous nights dinner was fresh zucchini spirals cooked al dente with red onion, mushrooms and topped with Rao's jarred sauce with homemade luganeca sausage.  The sausage is seasoned with fresh rosemary, garlic, pecorino romano and nutmeg.  Lot's of flavor but not too heavy for a late dinner.

 

[Eatmywords]

Mommy (wife) want mussels, mommy get mussels; classic French; shallots, wh wine, cream, butter, parsley.  King crab and lobster tails steamed in an old bay riff of celery seed, salt, paprika, lemon juice.  Side of sweet corn, mesc salad w strawberries w dijon vngrt and just baked baguette.....no complaints.

@rotuts – re: the takeaway pizza.  You are right – it was kind of inexplicable.  I could explain away the tasteless meats by thinking that maybe they couldn’t get their regular meats and were “making do”.  But the flat crust and bland sauce can’t be explained away really. 

 

@CantCookStillTry - I thought this might be helpful.

 

@gfweb – I told Mr. Kim that the same friend who gave me the directions for our favorite SV pork loin and flat iron steak had made a wonderful looking dinner of stuffed pork and sprouts and showed him your dinner and he want the recipes, please!  Pork and sprouts & onions (cipollini?), both! 

 

@Duvel – your pizza crust is absolutely perfect!  I adore bubbles.  It looks especially good after that flat, blah pizza we suffered this past week (the leftovers of which are still languishing in the fridge).  And I love the topping.  What a great brunch pizza that would make. 

 

@Steve Irby – lovely crab cake dinner!  We keep hearing that different restaurants have soft shells and when we call them, they are sold out.  So, I’ve been thinking about crab a LOT! 

 

@Eatmywords – I had a lovely Mother’s Day dinner.  I chose the restaurant and the menu.  It was delicious.  I would have traded it out in a minute for the one you made.  My favorite foods in all the world – shellfish, corn, bread! 

 

Mother’s Day dinner from our favorite local American-Chinese place:

Wonton soup:

 

Shrimp toast, egg roll, crab Rangoon, orange beef, rice, and lemon chicken.  Moo Shu Pork:

Rolled up:

Third time ordering from them in 2 weeks.  We are doing our part to support this place!  When Mr. Kim came out from picking it up, the owner came out with him to wave at Jessica and me and say, “thank you”. 🥰

I purchased a beautiful black sea bass at the farmers market Saturday.... Yesterday, turned on the grill and decided to cook it... First, marinaded in harissa mxed with olive oil and lemon. 

 

 

 

Purchased some dips and spreads from local Syrian Grocery Store and Bakery close to me.  Spicy hummus, muhammara, babaghanoush, pickled beats, eggplant salad,  gigantes beans, tabouli, tahanni and I made a mint and tomato salad. I also added some tahini to the fish and stuffed it with garlic and mint:  In addition to have the fish propped up with two sliced lemons underneath

 

 

Grilled the fish in a hot fire with woods chips for smoke:

 

 

Cooked perfectly, so delicious

 

 

Served with lettuce wraps:

 

 

 

 

Nothing but bones... we sat outside and had a great time:

@BKEats, I believe that bass was glaring at you.
