Lunch 2021

In the kitchen a lot this Thanksgiving week. Hungry for lunch but had to be quick, so avocado toast it was. Jarred chipotle salsa and Aleppo pepper for punch.

Saturday morning I woke up the the first snow. Was cold enough that the snow stayed until evening but completed melted by the time I went to bed again.

Rollmops and dairy with some beetroot.

The herring is usually sliced into big chunks and mix with the quark but I wanted to use some of the dairy to spread on bread then top it with the sliced roe, this time. Roe cooked sous vide. Less mess than frying, and results in a perfect texture for slicing.

For afters

Beer for me, pastry for the partner. “Snails” filled with dark chocolate, chia seeds (I’m out of poppy seeds), and more than enough Lebkuchen spice mix.

A big lunch, no room for dinner later. I used duck pancakes. The “tortillas” we have here taste like card \board and they are huge.

A salad with Santorini cheese called “chlorotyri”. Extremely small production on the island, mostly for home use. Made from goat’s milk, creamy and is a bit sour.

Octopus and fava

Sardines and fava again (in place of something else)

Oh yeah, I checked out the pasta section in the supermarkets on Santorini. No “shortage” of bucatini. Greece has its own pasta production.

Lunch today was a very pleasing pesto focaccia with a feta/roasted pepper dip.
