Dinner 2021

I've been doing a lot of kabobs lately, inspired mostly by this thread! These are lamb, served with tzatziki and a big salad with lettuce, tomato, kirby cucumbers, carrots, celery, olives, mushroom, onion, red pepper, assorted seeds and sprouts (I have a weird obsession with sprouts lately!)

This is a sort of salmon Nicoise, again with the sprouts.

And this last is "Melanzane Mimosa". Basically grilled eggplant with eggs and a vinaigrette made with some anchovy.

It's been 38℃ / 100℉ for most of the day. Now it's 9 pm and 35℃ / 95℉. So, this made for a quick, simple but satisfying and tasty dish. Followed by a bowl of cherries and some Marvin Gaye.

 

Orzo with squid, shrimp. snow pea slivers, garlic, ginger, chilli and white wine.

Pork chops, plain this time with just salt and pepper after grilling.  Actually quite satisfying.  Served with grilled zucchini marinated in EVOO and black currant balsamic.  Both made on the PAG.

Cultivated burdock, or is it as prevalent a weed in your area as it is in mine?

Bacon wrapped filet, roasted broccoli, and a baked potato with home grown chives, sour cream, butter and cheese. Served with Smith & Hook Cabernet 
 

Not bad for a random Thursday night dinner.

After first roasting of broccoli I have no desire for any other form.

Number 5 new thing to eat in the south: Brunswick Stew. I only had a few bites, but it was good. Made by the barbecue place that we all liked. I never knew that the main ingredient that makes it different is BBQ sauce in the stock, or mixed in at some point. I am guessing that Community Q simply adds scraps of their ribs or brisket and their own KC style sauce. All recipes I've come across use canned tomato and frozen veggies: frozen corn, lima beans, etc. It seems to me you could make an awfully good stew in the summer with fresh veggies and leftover BBQ meat, if you are lucky enough to have any.q

 

There's also a breakfast place close by called Rising Son (yes, SON) and they make the largest biscuits I've ever seen. You couldn't call the Cathead, unless you meant a jaguar or cougar. Designed for sandwiches, I think, but very good warm from the venue and very good toasted for breakfast this morning. My Son in law made a Broadbent bacon-biscuit sandwich for his dinner.

Halibut for the hell of it with roasted okra. And I took a picture of our wine before we drank to much.

Halibut roasted in a hot oven 400 convection with a little wine topped with shallot, parsley and mint with some panko and olive oil

Straight curry powder, no cubes for this (I do prefer to make my own curry roux anyway). The base is stock and miso- 6 cups stock to 1/4 cup red miso.

Not homemade, but dinner out at our local Basque-ish resto, Ernesto's.

Significant Eater started with a delicious cocktail...HELL IN A HAND BASQUE-ETTE La Quintinye Dry, Vermouth Routin, Ginger, Lime, Pineapple, Pimenton, while I opted to go straight for the wine bottle. A Catalan blanca called Massis de Bonastre, a blend of Macabeo, Xarel-lo and Garncha blana. Both the head bartender and the somm are quite excellent at their jobs; a cocktail like this isn't always easy to get nicely balanced; this one was perfect. 

 

Accompanied by croquetas, which were followed by two entradas:

 

FRITOS DE CALAMARES Y SEPIA - local squid and sepia from Spain, perfectly fried and served with a classic alioli. And

 

IMG_4350.thumb.jpeg.8db4110ca3d2250f2b2a8e2e54cbcf8f.jpeg

 

TRUCHA CURADA CON ENSALADILLA. Cured arctic char, over ensaladilla Rusa, topped with paddlefish roe and a drizzle of something too sweet for me. A dish I wouldn't order again, unless it was just the char and Rusa. Our platos principales followed thusly:

 

IMG_4354.thumb.jpeg.ef16b45278061bc79590978d2018ca6c.jpeg

 

Significant Eater's MACARRONES CON HONGOS, house made shells with porcini and a sauce made from Idiazabal cheese. Mmmmm. And though I really thought about a mixed grill with spareribs, butifarra and fresh chorizo served with fried potatoes, I decided to go a little healthier with...

 

IMG_4352.thumb.jpeg.dddd7505ff250f28cca8f0ef0fdc4394.jpeg

 

RAPE CON GAMBAS DE PALAMOS: monkfish, Mediterranean red shrimp and petit pois. It didn't disappoint. Dessert was a classic Basque cheesecake, which was, and is, a favorite and great. Accompanied by 2 glasses of Domaine de Souch's  JURANCON, “CUVEE JOE DRESSNER” 2010, (Petit Manseng & Gros Manseng). 

 

We had not been to Ernesto's since pre-pandemic. They'd opened two months prior to shutdown. What a welcome return.

Wow!   Never heard or even imagined such a thing.   Do you think they were hand or machine made?   Am having trouble mentally shaping them.  Thanks for these.

Well, that's an amazing dinner, amazing, but I would say the trout may be steel-head? [also known as ocean trout, fjord trout etc....]. From the picture I doubt it would be an arctic char, and I have fish some chars while in Norway.

Never seen chars in Spanish restaurants, even if they were introduced in some lakes around Spain decades  ago, thankfully it didn't work well :)
