Bratwurst, potato pancakes, and a new recipe for braised red cabbage with juniper, caraway, apples, and apple cider that Christopher Kimball published in my local newspaper last week.  We all really liked the cabbage, and it used up two small heads from my CSA box.  I think I am down to only five heads of cabbage now 🤣

Me too - have the ingredients. But I wonder why I always see red cabbage in sweet & soure recipes. I only have green but will use that.

Add some raisins into the cabbage for a nice sweet counter to the vinegar.  My grandmother sometimes cubed small potatoes into hers as well.

 

Love sweet and sour cabbage recipes.  Caraway / cumin work so nicely in them, and tons of associated health benefits!

Things taste much better than they look.  Mashed potato "cake," sour cream, Steelhead trout roe.

Nantucket Bay scallops. Pasta "sauce" is olive oil, butter, garlic, touch of Calabrian pepper, white wine, lemon, shrimp/scallop stock, and pasta water.  Scallops get barely cooked in tossing with the sauce and the pasta as the pasta finishes cooking.

 

Bread crumbs, parsley, lemon zest to finish.

It's because acidity helps preserve the color. I make similar preparations with green cabbage all the time, just because I have it on hand more often.

Yesterday evening's dinner of commercial oven baked pollock filets and a Greek salad.

The filets were nothing to write home about so they'll be repurposed in breakfast sandwiches.

A liberal application of hot sauce helped.

Great combo - I love a very similar dish of baked potato skins with roe and sour cream.

That cabbage sounds great. I will hve to look for juniper berries - probably shouldn't just pluck them from the landscaping shrubs - or should I?

After three miserable meals from a food delivery service I decided I needed something tasty for dinner tonight.

Palak paneer (spinach with freshly made curd cheese) and turmeric rice. Palak paneer at a local restaurant years ago got me started on Indian food, and remains a favorite. Anyway, food tasted great and the house smelled amazing.

 

I had never made fresh curd cheese before. The recipe said to barely boil milk (I used half and half), add yogurt, lime juice, and salt, and simmer for a few minutes before straining out the whey.

 

Curds separated nicely. I squeezed them in cheesecloth but there was no way they were holding together when “stirred gently” into the spinach mixture. So I need to check some other sources on making paneer. I vaguely recall hearing about a paneer press, for those who make it regularly.

 

Still tasted delicious, but I prefer the texture of paneer in chunks.

 It is those potato pancakes that I want.  Although I would be happy with the red cabbage too.

Shrimp with Candied Walnuts and Udon.

Your dish seemed odd at first until I remembered the similar dish (no noodles) at an old school Chinese reataurant in our old Chinatown - like this --- Quite tasty  https://thewoksoflife.com/walnut-shrimpo  Another craving to be satisfied.

My niece wanted steak last night so I made that for her and my husband, along with carrots, spinach, mashed potatoes and mushrooms cooked in green garlic butter that I found in my freezer.  My sister and I split a chicken breast that I stuffed with a garlic and herb cheese.   

 

Neither my niece or husband volunteered their plates for a picture, so here's the chicken.

Baked Pork Chops with fresh thyme from a friend's greenhouse, brown rice, and Shanghai Bok Choy.

A Chinese friend gave my brother a "piece of lamb", and he doesn't eat lamb. It was a confusing piece of meat, skin on, rib bones, saddle? I trimmed it up, and added some thin pieces of lamb chops from another Chinese store bulk purchase. Trimmed up the fat, added leeks, carrots, fresh rosemary, and cooked it all in the IP. It ended up still a bit fatty, so mint sauce was needed.
Not the best stew, but got rid of the meat from my freezer.

Ate it with more of the toasted couscous I had picked up at Costco.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day 🍀

 

Aperitif …

Homemade corned beef, cooked SV for 10h@82oC. Potatoes, carrots and cabbage cooked in the SV juices; tender cabbage seared afterwards. While the beef looks a bit weird, it was tender & juicy, and sliced well. Rest of the family opted for burgers 🙄 …

I had forgotten how good chicken adobo could be. I cooked it in the A4 Box ceramic insert. Served over some leftover rice. Given the few ingredients and simplicity of preparation it is no wonder this dish is so popular in the Philippines. (Google brought it to mind!).
