Joe's Special, a one pan historic San Francisco concoction.

OK, before I looked at the pic I thought it referred to a Joe Carcione Special, which is a totally different dish.  This is wholly new to me and I think it may end up on next week's menu. Thank you!

Can I put my guess in for 'Drunk Westerner'?  @liuzhou?

Got some of the first green asparagus of the season. It’s a big thing in Germany. Served with some varieties of cured raw ham, parsley potatoes and veal cutlets (w/ bone 😉). Sauce Hollandaise because it is tradional, and 6.5 min egg because I like them. And some Champagne, because ... why not ?

Asparagus - not the easiest wine pairing. But the egg sure likes bubbly.

 

Every year around this time, the spargel rolls in and Cafe Katja does a special spargel menu. Erwin recommends a wine every year as well.

 

This year (and I know it's white asparagus) the wine recommended is...  Zierfandler

Since I got clearance from the doc, and I had this in the fridge...

Hamachi collar, salted and steam broiled in the steam girl. Part of a multi-course (though quite easy) dinner...

That collar. Pickles from the guys. Simple chirashi with avocado and a shrimp salad made with poached wild gulf shrimp (this was really great).

Asparagus sautéed with mirin, soy, sesame, vinegar.

Tell me more about the Maharajah's rice?

 

It is a Meera Sodha recipe.  Basically, rice cooked with chopped dried fruit (I used apricots and dates), chopped nuts (I used pistachios), butter and spices.  It appears n her cookbook Fresh India.  I also found a copy of it on this blog, if you want to look at the recipe: https://thehappyfoodie.co.uk/recipes/maharajahs-rice

 

Pizza last night

Shad, day two.

 

Dinner04182021.png


 

Shipment was four shad fillets.  Each fillet represents three or four Jo servings.  After last night I went to work hoping never to see shad again.  On the way home I found myself craving shad.

 

Shad broiled eight minutes in the APO, 250C, top and rear elements, 100 percent steam.  Hard to imagine better.

Due to Covid restrictions my sister and her husband couldn’t join my parents and my family for Easter this year. As they are visiting us right now, I try at least to replicate some of the food we had. Tonight: cheese board & breads ...

Made (again) some rye bread with walnuts (and nut vinegar), plus some regular bread:

The milder ones (clockwise from the top): St. Felicien, Comte 12m, fresh goat cheese, St. Maure.

The slightly more pungent ones (starting with the plastic packed one, clockwise): Epoisses, Bleu d’Auvergne, Langres, Brie de Meaux and some fig-horseradish marmelade ...

A local off-dry Grauburgunder and a very fruity Primitivo to go with.

That shad looks great; a sort of a sturgeony look actually.

Semi-homemade.

I had chef at Cervo's prepare a Piri Piri chicken for me (and sadly for me, today is the last day of Cervo's market; they will be transitioning back to being a real restaurant very shortly).  It was always on their take home menu, but I hadn't pre-ordered; fortunately he still had a few chickens left.

 

So, Cervo's Piri Piri chicken. Tater tots from I don't remember where, but "organic." And Brussels sprouts, sautéed and briefly braised.

Nothing like it, texturally. More of a humongous herring, though with a more delicate flavor.

tried an Alison Roman recipe last night.

Salmon oven roasted with brown butter caper sauce with lemon, red onion, sesame seeds and dill.

Nice white burgundy from Michel Niellon

Probably why I said it looks similar.

Fair enough. I always loved the chevron pattern of orange and purple on the skin side of sturgeon fillets, it's so striking. Like their secret identity is standing guard at the Vatican. :P
