Dinner 2021

[liuzhou]

Minced pork and and asparagus, with doubanjiang, green Sichuan peppercorns, garlic, ginger, chilli, Shaoxing wine and scallions. Served over orzi because the rice cooker pot is currently sleeping in the freezer. It's a long, dull story.

Miso salmon with noodles seasoned with oyster sauce and maggi sauce.  The vegetables added were napa cabbage and choi sum, with mixed mushrooms cooked in sake, soy and mirin added to the adults' bowls (no mushrooms for my niece).  I chopped up an entire large head of napa cabbage and an entire bunch of choi sum and as usual the greens cooked down to nothing.  Next time I am going to cook a wheelbarrow full.  My fish hating nephew had leftover Indian food from the other night.

We never get pizza unless we make it - looking forward to Modernist Pizza!

I just had a very badly executed dish of dry- fried green beans and pork. Looking at your dish I am most envious.

My sad emoji is for your bad beans; not for your envy.  That I would normally thank, but we only get one emoji to issue!

Freak weather sent temps down 20 degrees, so a warming plate of Swedish meatballs.

I was a big fan, I even have his cookbook too.

I was given a Hello Fresh box at work recently, which contained ingredients for two meals. After looking over the contents, taking in to account that this was for two meals, a phrase that my dad used to use sprang to mind "That's not even enough to keep a bird alive!". So I decided to combine what I'd gotten with some things I had in my pantry.

I sauteed the onion and garlic, then added a packet of the stock concentrate, diced and threw in the plum tomato, then added the chickpeas supplemented with another can of chickpeas. After that I added a can of tomato puree and the sun dried tomatoes, reduced that to a thick stew-like consistency and added the grape tomatoes. After letting that cook for a few minutes I added the fresh parsley and chives, finished w/sour cream and topped it with the sliced almonds and Parmesan. I saved the cream cheese, pistachios, and the lemon for later use.

I was going to keep it to myself, but last night's chicken cacciatore was the worst dinner of recent memory.  The recipe is for a whole chicken cut in pieces.  I was cooking just three little thighs.  Now I like salt as much as anyone, even 23andMe informs that I like salt.  Before dinner I was even eating salt from the empty peanut bowl.

 

However to the chicken I added the specified amount of salt, neglecting I had scaled down the quantity of chicken.  Also neglecting to remember I had heavily salted the chicken pieces previously.  I think you can see where this is going.

All looks nicely crunchy. Stepmother purchased 2 giant cauliflowers @ $1 each I've roasted and souped. Told her about your cauliflower. Can you tell me how you prepped? She only has a smallish air fryer but just for her it could work. The 90 year old does know what panko is. Thanks!

Sure can, been there did that. Just the other night, I took three beautiful boneless loin chops and brined them for several hours before I cooked them. I breaded them beautifully and added salt and pepper when I cooked them. I felt like I was licking a salt block when I ate them. My two wonderful, polite, housemates never blinked an eye.

I've been having some pizza angst lately, and so I asked how long the dough should rest on the counter before baking. Got some great replies, and tried it with my "regular" method for making pizza, using a bread machine to make two dough balls, which then rest for a minimum of 3 days. The balls were cooked on June 4 and June 8 (rested 3 and 7 days) and may be (amongst) the best pizzas I have ever made. Read about the details here

 

 

Because it was my friend's birthday, I thought dessert was in order. Blueberries in a little milk in greased ramekins. In the Kitchen Aid mixer: 6 T King Arthur custard powder, mixed with 3/4 to 1 cup labneh and some milk, whipped until light. Baked 20 minutes at 325. Into the Cuisinart Food Processor: 1/2 cup instant oats, 1/4 cup flour, 1/4 cup brown sugar. Deposited on top of dish, baked another 15 minutes.

 

One of the nicest things about it was that it wasn't too sweet. Would have been better with a splash of blueberry balsamic vinegar.

Sure.  I take the panko and put it in a large ziplock bag and add seasonings which is usually granulated garlic and onion, paprika, an Italian seasoning blend, salt, pepper and some sugar. For the cauliflower I first tossed it olive oil then in the panko. Once it’s on the air fryer tray I give it a light coating of olive oil spray. Then I cooked it for 20 minutes at 400f, but that’s for the BSOA- a standard air fryer will likely cook it faster.

Barbecue shrimp and potato/corn/chorizo hash

 

[Ann_T]

On Monday, I presalted a small prime rib, a one rib roast just big enough for two.

 

I was going to roast it on Tuesday and make a traditional dinner with Yorkshire puddings but I forgot I had live spot prawns being delivered Tuesday.

So the roast got move to today and instead of roasting, it was grilled and served with fries and a red wine rosemary sauce.

 

My version of "Steak and Frites".

[JoNorvelleWalker]

 

[weinoo]

Somewhere between paella and Spanish soupy rice, but cooked in a cazuela...

 

 

was this: somewhat soupy rice of chicken and chorizo, with ramps, shallots, red peppers, chives, saffron and pimentón. (the thing with soupy rice is if you wait like 10 minutes to eat it, it becomes not so soupy rice).

 

Preceded by pan con tomate, and accompanied by a Romaine and butter lettuce salad.

For us it's always about the cat getting 10-20% so I only get 40% 

 

For pizza the goal is 55 vs 45 but sometimes it looks more like 65 vs 35

[rotuts]

@Ann_T 

 

your meals always look exceptionally inviting.

 

a question on te ' One Rib PrimeRib '

 

how thick was it to start off?

 

did you slice it in 1/2 to get that ' rare ' look ?

 

although an absurd thing to write :

 

' it looks soooo tender "
