Dinner 2025

[Neely]

Hi @ybot123. In this case to make the sauce I sautéed the sliced mushrooms in butter in one pan, while cooking the steaks in another. When steaks were out and resting, I added more butter to the steak pan added a little flour ( only about a teaspoon I recall ) after that had mixed I put the mushrooms in with the steak juices, butter and flour, added some white wine, a splash of brandy , pepper and salt. Mix …. done.

Trying to get ahead of the carrot glut in my kitchen, last night I made carrot gnocchi with roasted mushrooms and broccoli, toasted pine nuts and brown butter.  The gnocchi took care of a couple pounds of carrots but I still have around 40 left.  CSA delivery is today, and their email said we are getting either carrots or potatoes as our random vegetable in the box this week.  I hope I get a box with potatoes in it!

holy cow...I love the idea of a CSA subscription but something like this is really going to discourage people from continuing...unless you are preparing meals for foodservice! Given the choice of 40 lbs of carrots or 40 lbs of potatoes, I guess carrots at least give you more options for sweet or savory.

Is that in the Cook-off topic somewhere? (I'm not finding it.) Regardless of where it is, do you have a link?

 

Edited to add: or do you have a general recipe you can share?

Check out this recipe:

My mom also adds quite a bit of cheddar cheese to the recipe.

 

She does not follow it exact, but this is close enough....
