Dinner 2021

[Steve Irby]

I bought some beautiful radishes and carrots at the market yesterday.  The green portions looked so good that they became supper tonight.  Loubo radish salad with a garlicy vinaigrette and Spanish braised chickpeas with tuna and olives.

Braised Lamb Shanks in a red wine sauce served with Duchess Potatoes, rutabaga, zucchini and carrot.

Got the dish started before leaving for work.

Lamb was browned and in the sauce.

Moe just had to put the pan in the oven late this afternoon.

All I had to do after work was make the mashed potatoes for the Duchess and steam the vegetables.

Sundays are often a good time for longer cooking projects but work is crazy in the moment and so we had to rely on something fast - Spaghetti Carbonara (this variation added raw garlic with egg-cheese mixture and it gave the dish a nice subtle background flavor)

You can make steak tartare with the leftovers.

Put a little sear on that steak and it's just the way I like it.

Maple glazed chicken cooked in a pan with sweet potatoes and some of the endless radishes that are filling up my crisper drawer.  I tossed some arugula in at the end.  The vegetables soaked up all the chicken fat and were the best part of the dish.

Wow, looks fantastic.  I like your method for the steak.

I have a sweet potato looking for a date with the mushroom jus. Your method?

Creamy polenta topped with roasted mushrooms and garlicky kale, plus a poached egg and a green olive pesto.  Another dinner based on a Half Baked Harvest recipe, though I roasted my mushrooms for extra flavor.  

 

I just bought The Flavourbomb by Rob Blumer and you practised two of his recommendations for flavour enhancement.  Roasted your mushrooms enough to get a good caramelization on them and put an egg on top of your dish!  I was chuckling to myself.  Good job.

My Mushroom jus..  I had Cremini and chemiji ( sp ) shrooms/  fry hard in skillet 50/50  evoo and irish butter/ added fresh garden garlic saute/  deglace with wine/  I had white balsamic vinegar /  to this  i fold in vegetable beyond boullion ( that i liquided out / and some Chicken stock..I didn't salt shrooms.. because the other mentioned stocks have inherent salt.. reduce till thick..u can add thyme.. which i did at some point

Last night a leek, garlic, fresh tomato gorgonzola vodka sauce. Merguez. Artichoke. Crisper drawer slaw...fennel, golden beet, watermelon radish, etc. Thanks to Misfits. 

Always ends up in a heap on our plates. Starts off civilized as a starter and a main....

I am a bit confused - until the Merguez that’s one plate ? Or until the tomato gorgonzola vodka sauce and the Merguez is hidden under the pasta or served separately ? And the artichokes are also part of the pasta dish or part of the kitchen sink salad ?

 

I know it might not matter much if everything gets combined at the end, but curious minds want to know 🤗

The steak was well overdone.

Okay. Thought about it. Gotta ask! How in the world did you get it well done on a warm setting?

Time.

 

I actually thought the Philips grill was broken because the elements were not painful to look at.  Often I have to wear dark glasses to cook on it.

I would love to come to yours for a baked potato - yours are always my gold standard.

I made Food and Wine's Chicken in a Pot with Lemon Orzo last night. My daughter came and we made wreaths and garlands from clippings on our property so wanted something I could prep ahead and shove in the oven. It was really good, although not terribly photogenic made in my dingy old dutch oven. Some suggested in the comments to broil the chicken but it was so fall apart tender at the end I couldn't imagine doing that. The breast skin was fine as it is browned/crisped before braising. We don't ususally eat the skin anyway so I was happy with the dish the way it was. True comfort food.

I was the lucky recipient of some carrots, parsnips and small sweet potatoes from the farmers’ market in nearby Dunnville. I roasted them early today. Near dinner time I cooked a chicken leg in some Dashi seasoned with soy sauce. After the chicken leg was done I stripped its meat, returned it to the cooking liquid along with some of the vegetables and the outside leaves of a small radicchio. I have always felt those little globules of fat define a good chicken soup.  

[mgaretz]

And yet another pork chop on the NFG with squash and leftover latkes also made at the same time.  The latkes were a tad overdone and the pork chop was extra-thick so it came out a little dry, but I ate it all!

I had the same idea as @Duvel yesterday, except ours was for dinner, and since I was low on wild boar meat, it didn't have wild boar meatballs in it either. It was, however, made with @rancho_gordo's beans.

 

 

I was vacillating about whether or not to add tomatoes once the beans had softened sufficiently. Was it going to turn into pasta e fagioli or more of a minestrone type soup? In the end, I decided to go with the tomatoes. And a baguette I brought home from Balthazar was the side dish.
