Dinner 2020

[Shelby]

I've been wanting venison bierocks so I overcame my laziness and made them yesterday.  Have to make more dough today because I have a large amount of filling left over.

Panko-breaded shrimp (Kirkland), air-fried, with steamed cauliflower with butter.

@Shelby

Those bierocks look scrumptious! Could you please provide a recipe?

[patti]

Last night, chili and garlic bread. 

 

ETA: I've got to make these pics smaller before posting. Apologies. Can it be done after posting?
 

 

A few nights ago, my husband made spaghetti with meat sauce, also with garlic bread.

@patti – I very much like the look of your fried shrimp – they don’t look all gunked up with a heavy coating.  Is that a batter or just a dusting?  And I don’t think it’s hypocritical at ALL to be fine with store bought crust and rotisserie chicken and not with Cream of…  I cannot make a roast chicken as well or as cheaply as Costco does.  So, I hardly ever bother.  And while I CAN make pastry as well as Pillsbury, I sometimes don’t want to.  But, cream of… soups just taste funny to me.  I still use them in some recipes, but mostly I find it makes thing so much better to make my own. 

 

Thanks, Kim. I dipped the shrimp in egg/water  and then in seasoned flour with a little bit of corn meal. I know lots of people do two rounds through the flour, but I only do one.

 

I'm with you on the Costco chicken. Still reasonably priced and a nice size.  From that one chicken, I made a chicken flat bread for lunch, the pot pie, which was enough for a dinner meal and several lunches, and yesterday I made some chicken stock from the carcass. Well worth it!

How do you ptrp the tfu fr air fryer, and how do you find the resulting texture? I have my various tried and true tofu preps but curious. There was one in this house - MIA. Considering getting a little one. 

 

I just cut it in to 1/4 inch (approximately) thick triangles, coated them with a small bit of oil, and put them in the air fryer for about ten minutes. The texture is pretty much the same as oil fried tofu. I've done this multiple times before- it's my default way of preparing tofu.

I came across some recipes for one and thought they would be a lot easier to double than the ones needed to be cut down.  This is one of the two I saved:  Salmon and Brussels sprouts. The sauce is Hoisin based.

I'll confess that I did have to read it twice.

How do you do the shrimp? They look delicious! I keep asking you about your recipes because I am so intrigued by the air fryer!  

Edited to say: I see now that you bought them already breaded!

Lobio Satsivi - Georgian style green beans in a sauce of walnuts, milk, garlic, herbs and wine vinegar; with scrambled eggs, brined cheese and toasted walnuts.

Beans salad with a pesto of basil and tarragon, garlic and red wine vinegar.

Eggplant pkhali in spread form - made of roasted eggplants, walnuts, coriander seeds, herbs, garlic, sunflower oil and a few more spices.

Store brought bread, served crisp and warm.

A decent Georgian dry red wine.

I feel like the pictures doesn't do the dishes justice, looking a bit brown and messy - but it was a very enjoyable meal

@shain I would be happy to eat your vegetables any day

 

@BonVivantno, I haven’t tried steaming fish roe. Steaming is not my husband preferred way of cooking, especially fish. But I fill look for your previous posts🙏
 

yesterday, mung bean salad and short ribs, cauliflower and a tomato salad

Everything looks great. Also very nice are the two pieces of pottery. Fried rice is my comfort food.

Pho Bo, as my first steps into pressure cooking continue ... half short rib, half oxtail. Added some black cardamom to the usual suspects coriander, cinnamon, cloves, star anise and fennel. Very good - the little one practically inhaled it. Next batch tomorrow ...
