Chicken Fried Rice

I seldom have time to cook these days, but when I do I keep coming back to steak tacos.

Walmart wagyu strip loin with salsa verde, charred spring onions and jalapeño, boujie Truf green hot sauce (don’t judge me).

Catalan comfort food (for the Catalan part of the family): pilotas amb pesols - or meatballs with peas in a tomato sauce. No fuzz, but happy faces guaranteed 🥳

wife has decided family needs to “eat clean,” meaning pasta is on the endangered species list.

 

I always thought pasta was clean, no?

 

Last night:

 

 

Seared ahi tuna (saku block) from Great Alaska, ikura, avo, cherry tomato, gari over trfny rice (koshihikari).

Making the best of a fairly empty fridge: stir-fried red cabbage with shrimp and fennel seeds, plus cumin seed, sesame seed, sliced onion, and cayenne, finished with lemon juice and garam masala.

Marsala and Mushroom Pasta Bake & Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad from Michael Symon’s Simply Symon Suppers - the pasta bake was made with cavatappi pasta, white mushrooms, shiitake, onions, garlic, thyme, flour, parsley, marsala wine, vegetable broth and milk. Topped with mozzarella and finished in the oven.

The salad was simply shredded brussels sprouts, scallions, pine nuts and pecorino with vinaigrette made with lemon juice, mustard and olive oil

Garlic Bread in the Park?

 

It was a local event that was supposed to happen on Saturday morning but got rained out. People gathering in a local park and bringing garlic bread to share.

Did not take pix. A friend brought me some potato salad that was nice and mustardy and not sweet. So Supper was potato salad with some tomatoes and dill pickle spears. Delicious and very filling!

Sometimes I'll make potato salad for a meal. It's not just for picnics and BBQs. The last time was about a week-10 days ago,and I made a variation on a Japanese-style potato salad.

I just wanted to add my latest tip for livening up potato salad. I've always put onion and chives in my potato salad but because of Carlos's severe allergy to onions I've had to leave it out and every potato salad that I have made tastes flat to me. The other day I was desperate to find something that would give it a kick and I grabbed a bottle of Italian Sub Dressing that I make. It was great. I later used it in pasta salad and it was also delicious.

And, by the way, it is the very best dressing for Subs.

 

I do want to say that I only had to add a few tablespoons to the regular dressing to give it whole new flavor.
