Dinner 2025

[Honkman]

Short Ribs Braised with Mushrooms, Pearl Onions, and Bacon from “Simple to Spectacular” by Vongerichten - the short ribs are braised in a mixture of red wine, onions, carrots, celery, garlic, thyme, bay leaf and parsley. When it was braising you separately prepare the add-ins - crisped up bacon, sautéed button mushrooms and cooked pearl onions until lightly brown. Once the ribs are braised you strain out the vegetables and reheat the ribs with the bacon, mushrooms and pearl onions. Served with mashed potatoes and blanched snap peas finished with some toasted sesame oil

30 minute Coq au Vin, over mashedpotatoes.  Looks dull, forgot the parsley.  Have made this recipe several times.  One of our go-to comfort meals.  

 

How do you make coq au vin in 30 minutes? Is this an instant pot version?

I was gifted a few bagged salad kits, so had one last night with added tomatoes and cheddar for a quick supper so I could watch the Celtics on TV for the first time this (pre)season. Salad was OK (smoke flavoring was a bit too) but the Celtics were dynamite!

After more than miserable lunch, I'm happy to say that dinner was a delight.

 

Stir fried bullfrog with garlic, onion, chilli (green and red), perilla and bamboo shoot. Served with rice.

 

Not a dish for cartilogenophobiacs, among whose ranks I'm not!

@FrogPrincesse   Here's recipe.  I divert a bit from it.  I caramelize the pearl onions (I use a bag of frozen ones) by adding them earlier with bacon.  I sometimes debone and skin the chicken as the skin gets icky, though it adds flavor.  I put the wine in before adding the broth so I can cook off the alcohol.  

 

I put the dish together an hour or two ahead of mealtime; letting the chicken sit in the sauce, heat off.  Just needs a slight re-warm.
