@OlyveOyl Hi there, I’ve been meaning to say I like the idea of your pistachio pesto from some time ago, and will try it with the basil I have growing. I am not a fan of pine nuts in general, their flavour is overpowering to me so this idea of using pistachios is quite appealing.

@Neely…it is really delicious with pistachios, we enjoy much more than pine nuts!

Pollo en ajillo (chicken in garlic: Toasted ancho chile sauce with 14 cloves of roasted garlic, fried chile guajillo rings, and stock from simmering the chicken. Tasted like the world's simplest mole. This was leftover from having friends visit for dinner last night.

 

Bulgur pilaf with peas and carrots, cumin seed, ginger, jalapeno, and a little cayenne.

 

Sadly, no leftovers and no pictures for the rest of last night's dinner: Asiya's eggplant curry and Sri Lankan sweet potatoes with cardamom and chiles. You will have to take my word that they were both pretty and tasty.

We've been a little pork centric in the menu department the past week.  @Duvel suggested a recipe using pork steaks and I settled on a recipe for Thüringer Bierfleisch.  Todays lunch were dinner leftovers including fried potato dumplings and cucumber salad.  

 

This was the dinner version including prep.

 

 

 

 

I cut the pork steaks from a boston butt roast and used the remainder for ground pork.  A portion of the meat became a nice pork patty sandwich.

And the remaining ground pork was used for Mexican chorizo.  A portion which became chorizo and lentil stew.
