Dinner 2025

[Duvel]

Making dinner with little one …

 

We wanted to try the „viral“ minced meat Döner, that has been flooding short video platforms in the last months. Essentially, you are mixing minced meat with yoghurt, grated alliums and spices and spreading it out very thinly between two sheets of baking paper, before rolling it up and roasting the roll(s) in a hot oven.

 

 

Little one decided to serve the meat in the Iskender Kebab style, so I made some fresh flat breads for that purpose …

 

 

 

All topped with a tomato-butter sauce and thick yoghurt …

 

 

Served with the roasted pepper & tomatoes and some chili flakes for good measure. 

 

 

Little one and me were quite pleased, as was the rest of the family, including mit parents-in-laws 🤗

I never really spend time in this thread, and that has been a mistake.  When you have the no-more-cooking mulleygrubs, this thread is just what the doctor ordered!!!

While I love the little one cooking away, put some shoes or clogs or something on those feet!  Birkenstock makes great kitchen clogs!

Deconstructed (okay, not yet plated) roasted cabbage, duck confit, duck fat roasted potatoes.

@weinoo, your roasted potatoes look amazing.   

 

I had a nice big chicken ready to roast for dinner. I gave Moe a choice between a traditional chicken dinner with all the sides or Fred's Italian chicken. Both are favourites.

His choice was Fred's.

When we lived in Sault Ste. Marie, we use to go to a restaurant called the New Marconi and the owner was a man named Fred.

Fred liked to sing and he entertained his customers by singing old classics from Dean Martin, Sinatra, etc...

On the menu was an Italian chicken dish served with pasta that we both really enjoyed.

After we moved away from the Sault, I recreated this dish and have served it often over the 28 years we have been gone from there.

Spatchcocked the Chicken  and 

Served tonight with Spaghetti Aglio e Olio.

It's not a looker, but it tasted great. 

 

On New Years Day we are leaving for over a month so are going thru fridge/freezer to use up foods. 

 

Leftover charred tomatoes, leftover grilled asparagus, a previously cut shallot, 2 rashers of bacon.  Tossed with fettuccine and grated parm.

Nice .

 

My kind of dinner.

[rotuts]

This is a similar dinner to the one i posted a few days ago.

 

 

but improved .

 

I generally fill the CSO w the russets I bake , the cool and refrigerate the spares for later use.

 

I slice up the sausage , and then the potatoes .  I micro the sausage 30 seconds or so , then add to a hot , dry non-stick pan.

 

the potatoes get micro's for about a minute , then added to the same pan.  i leave everything alone until I get some color on one side

 

of the potatoes , as you can see .  I add a pat of butter when the potatoes are done , and swish that all around

 

and add to the spinach//tomato// Pico&Fruta seasoning.

 

I also added dry roasted ( no added salt ) pecans ( Tj's ) .

 

this version is better than the non-sauted ' fresh ' roasted russets .

 

I think Im set for this dish , just like it is .

 

very tasty , and very easy.
