I quoted from your qouting of Weinoo's rösti. 

 

Wild Mushroom and Leek Risotto based on a Marcella recipe

 

 

 

Risotto looks great.  But raw green onions on top....not sure what the Italian version of this would be, but OY VEY!!!  ⛔

This speaks volumes...from a response to Alex French Guy after making a passionate Cacio e Pepe..

I love traditional italian recipes and like to cook them. But my uncle once said to me:"Devi cuccinare così come ti piace, altrimenti non hai capito il senso del mangiare." Meaning:”You have to cook the way you like it. Otherwise you haven't understood the meaning of eating."

As long as you like it - I agree that is all that matters.  My comment came as I tasted the mushroom/leek mushroom risotto itself in my minds....mouth; and the delicate flavours, to meat least, would be overshadowed by the raw green onion.  I have noted that you do seem to enjoy it topping your dishes, so as long as it tasted good to you!

 

Buon appetito!

Pheasant, shiitake and Guinness pie.

Last week the supermarket apparently thawed some pre-cooked Western Australian lobster too soon. Between that and the Chinese import restrictions, I picked this one up for $24. I found it good but very rich so ate all but the tail with a little blood orange balsamic, then had the tail in a salad the next day.

 

Apologies for starting the dismemberment before I snapped a photo.

 

[Honkman]

Flatbread with pistachio-walnut-tapenade and roasted cauliflower and finished with a parsley-frisee mixture and balsamic reduction - very good with lots of umami for a vegan dish.

@liamsaunt, great photo.  Makes my mouth water.

 

Another dinner for breakfast morning.

Had presalted a couple of pork chops yesterday and planned to cook them for dinner. Didn't happen.

 

So they became breakfast.

[TicTac]

Riff on beef Bourguignon with short ribs - no bacon (sorry Julia) subbed a reduced smoked turkey stock instead.

topped with fried wild mushrooms and served with Robuchon mashed taters and baguette crisps.

Only fail was that I did not skim enough fat off.

 

regional wine to accompany - Hulk didn’t get any

Duck dinner with friends last night. Sweet potato puree, garlic green beans, ganache sauce made with 70% dark chocolate

Tonight we had bone-in baked ham.  The glaze was made  from apricot preserves with some brown sugar, spicybrown mustard, ground cloves and maple syrup mixed in.  I also made some cookies.

Looks good!  Not sure if you did it intentionally, but the photographic arrangement almost makes it looks like the sauce from the top plate is dripping onto the bottom one!  I like.

That looks fantastic!

Thanks Kenneth. One of those early-in-the-pandemic pastes I made a ton of and now I have stuff in the freezer that needs to be used. Lost very little of its fragrance and depth.

I happen to have all these ingredients on my list of freezer items to use, I will be making this soon.  Thanks for the idea although I might add some slivered almonds to the green beans.

Sichuan braised mahi mahi.

[JoNorvelleWalker]

Pizza tonight.  Sadly my pie stuck to the peel.  With all that that entails.  However the bits I salvaged from the oven were quite tasty.

 

Dessert is Modernist gelato, which makes up for a multitude of sins.

 

[Honkman]

Austrian pork and cabbage stew - multiple layers of potatoes, pork, carrots and savoy cabbage
(everything uncooked/raw) are spiced with plenty of ground caraway seeds and cooked for several hours in the oven with some chicken broth to give nice comfort food for a cold (Californian) night.

 

[Annie_H]

Chicken and Chickpea Masala

bourbon soaked dried berries, wild rice/wheat berries, avocado because it was ripe

 

[liuzhou]

Pan fried spiced up* pork steak with morels and button mushrooms, coriander leaf/cilantro and green onion. Chips.

 

*Freshly ground cumin, coriander seed, fenugreek seed and Sichuan peppercorn.

Round bone shoulder lamb chop - pan fried.  Racho Gordo Alubia blanca beans, vegetarian.  Frozen white and yellow corn.

[Shelby]

Not much cooking going on for me.  I've been pretty sick --not Covid.  On the mend now, so I scraped myself together and made some Caesar salad dressing and heated up some sauce.  The pasta was good, but it was so wide that it was hard to eat......

@liamsaunt – your stuffed chicken looks delicious!  When you say herbed cheese, is it a soft one like Boursin? 

 

 

Sorry, I forgot to answer this,  Yes, it actually was Boursin cheese!  🙂

 

Dinner last night was supposed to be squash risotto, but my niece got her covid booster Saturday.  She was feeling really lousy yesterday and wanted to skip dinner.  She really likes squash risotto so I punted that meal to later this week, dug around in the freezer and found some sauce and meatballs for us to have instead.  Cheesy garlic bread also from the freezer.
