Dinner 2025

This tasted much better than the picture implies. I'm posting the photo anyway, to celebrate a winning Trader Joe's product I wrote about here.

 

 

I had leftover beef birria and rice pilaf from a dinner a few nights ago. I'd been to the farmers' market earlier in the day and come home with rainbow chard, so I chopped one leaf (stem and all) and added it to the food. Microwaved the whole thing until I was warm and the chard slightly wilted, gave it a small drizzle of olive oil, then sat down to dinner.

 

Easy. Delicious. I will definitely buy more of that beef birria next time I'm at Trader Joe's!

Kofte with Potato and Asparagus Salad - one of those dishes which in the end tasted very good but had some issues when making it - in this case the kofte kept falling off (and apart) the skewers when on the grill and in the end we finished them in a pan (but still got some good smokiness from the grill). The kofte were made with ground beef, red onions, garlic, thyme, cumin, pul biber and olive oil. The potatoes were roasted in the oven with convection in a mix of olive oil, paprika, garlic, cumin, chili powder and cinnamon. Once they are done, they are mixed with pan-roasted green asparagus, capers, olive oil, lemon juice and parsley
