Sausage, Peppers, and Onions with Melty Caprese - simple dinner from Colu Cooks. Different peppers, red onions and cherry tomatoes with some sweet Italian sausages are roasted in the oven. Topped with mozzarella for the last few minutes and finished with some basil

@Paul Bacino sorry but even after an online search I can’t figure out what all the meat means in reference to Pasqua gravy. Can you help me understand? My cultural denseness at play.

Thing is, they were very tasty - just a pain in the ass to make into a ball shape. 

 

We were going to a potluck dinner many years ago and brought the Meatball Lasagna we found in Cook's Illustrated.  Boy was it a big hit. We wound up making it a couple of times after that before we revolted at making tiny quarter sized thin meatballs and sauteing them.  The process took forever!  The next time we made it we just made regular sized meatballs and sliced them.  Just as good.

I didn't mind rolling the meatballs but it was sauteing all those little suckers that got to me. I have found that the easiest way to cook them is in the oven. It only takes about 15 minutes at 300°. Even larger meatballs are done in about this time and they will finish in whatever sauce that you make.

I wonder if oiling your hands a bit might have helped? 

 

 

 

I often oil my hands; whether I make meatballs with those oiled hands is a whole other topic.

Yep.  MB's  best cooked in a hot oven.   Or , straight in sauce.

not to worry .   the fond is on the oven pan , and easy scraped  off and used or saved.

 

Of course , not as much .  just a bit where the MB's were touching the pan.

 

the fond from the rest of the MB's , 

 

stayed on the MB's.

There's no reason to miss out on that with the meatballs in the oven. Simply remove them from the pan and put it back in the oven for 10 minutes to Brown a little. Deglaze with a little wine and voila, delicious fond.

Looks like rotus beat me to it.

I grilled enough asparagus to last us a few meals. 

 

Today with take-away fried chicken.  When there's a green side with fried chicken, it becomes a healthy meal, no?

@gulfporter, I saved that Moroccan Chicken Thigh recipe and just like that, my food gifting friend showed up with a huge package of chicken thighs for me. Now I just need to shop for the rest of the ingredients and wait until this rainy spell is over so I can grill them.

fyi, I dump all the spices and other ingredients for marinade in a beaker-like container and use my stick blender (the beaker came with my stick blender in fact).  I have a personal animosity to blenders and since discovering the stick, it's all I use.

Me too but I keep forgetting I have the stick blender. I have a large plastic iced tea glass that I use for a beaker. It's really great when you're making mayonnaise. Put all the ingredients in the glass, use the blender and in 30 seconds you have mayonnaise.

 - which are a royal pain in the ass to make, at least this first and possibly only time I'll make them.

 

 

just a pain in the ass to make into a ball shape.  The mixture is so sticky they're almost impossible to roll. 
 

Do you not like using a squeeze-handle ice cream scoop to shape meatballs, matzo balls, bread dumplings and the like?   Super easy, hands clean, uniform size and shape.

Pan-seared bay scallops and shrimp with choo chee curry sauce: Simple curry paste of dried red chiles (soaked), long red chiles, lots of garlic, shallots, shrimp paste, lemongrass, and lemon zest (sub for lime leaves). Fry the paste with coconut cream, season with palm sugar and fish sauce, and then add seared shrimp and scallops at the end.

 

Broccolini stir-fried with garlic, oyster sauce, fish sauce, and white pepper. Simple and good.

 

Cilantro, sliced baby cucumbers, and microwave cilantro rice to go with.

@TdeV Yes that is the Nigella recipe I was referring to. I made the cake as per her recipe but added the passion fruit icing as I had quite a few passion fruits to use up and it was quite nice.

As @Duvel posted over in the Easter 2025 topic, it's spargel season.

 

So I took myself to Cafe Katja last night...

For some spargel, boiled potatoes, and what I think was called Bauernschinken Ham.  Plenty good.

STOP IT.  Between you and @Duvel I'm starving for this.  It's not even 8 in the morning over here.

Cooed reverse sear 

I'm so glad I found out about this method. It is great. I like my steak blood rare but my housemate, Carlos, likes his well done, ugh. However, even well done steak is still juicy and tender cooked reverse sear.

Ronnie went to Sam's the other day and came home with a package of ahi tuna steaks.  I marinated in soy sauce and then sprinkled Everything Bagel Seasoning on them and seared.  Not too bad.  Also found a bag of edamame in the freezer--new to us.  I was shocked at how much Ronnie liked them.  A little carby but sigh oh well at least it was something new and fun to eat.
