WFD: ~ Slow Pan-Roasted Turkey Sausages. Spicy sausages made in-house by our local Italian market. The kind of sausages that need only minimum condments. We’ll probably splash a glug of red wine, or perhaps ouzo if we still have any, in the pan but will not pierce the sausage skin.
~ Spinach & Rice (Spanakorizo) 197 Complete Book of Greek Cooking. Olive oil; onions; tomato paste; spinach; S & P; converted rice; water; dill. I haven’t used converted rice for about 26 years. The cookbook was compiled from recipes by the Recipe Club of St. Paul’s Greek Orthodox Cathedral, Hempstead NY. How bad can it be?
Chicken thighs on the grill (bone in, skin on, ) this time with Peruvian aji sauce made with aji amarillo peppers from the garden. Cucumber and tomato salad is pretty much an every night thing right now to try to keep up with how fast they need to be harvested. We never tire of it.
I forgot to mention that this years first batch of tomato jam is happening today (I use the recipe from foodinjars.com) and the dehydrator is full of the second batch of piment d’espelette from the garden. the kitchen counters are FULL of various tomato and pepper varieties as well as freshly harvested garlic. Onions are ready to harvest this week… As soon as there is room.
Impromptu after work drinks with a friend/co-worker. I had some sort of frozen slushy mojito situation that was delightful, and strong enough i just had one (gotta function at work tomorrow!). We shared a generic but good enough flatbread topped with veggies thing. Walking to the subway headed home i found a pizza shop with a pile of fresh still warm (!) garlic knots, so obviously i picked up a few and I’m certain the entire subway car was trying to figure out where the wafts of garlic were coming from…!
A quick side of watermelon/cilantro/olives and the knots were the rest of dinner tonight.
No vampires visiting me any time soon!
I sold this to DH as BLT pasta. Pancetta, cherry tomatoes, garlic, Parmesan, arugulam and basil. Easy and satisfying after a pretty crazy day (second time in my career I have required a protective sheriff escort to my car after court…ugh). The three day weekend can’t come soon enough.
Did i miss something or has our Presunto gone missing? And is Mr. H on vacation? Did I miss the memo?
anywho - a few dinners to post.
Tuesday night out i had the most amazing pork belly and watermelon salad. there was something that had a hint of sesame oil in it too - maybe it was the foam… it was really kind of mind blowing how good the dish was.
Wednesday we went out to a place i’m reviewing, we split a halibut ceviche, super fresh, i had the mussels, and the BF had churrasco (skirt steak) with chimichurri and herbed fries.
Tonight the BF cooked, and it was another delicious pork belly dish. TJs pork belly, seared, and he made a chunky glaze out of TJ’s bacon jam and a little honey for it - to die for! and a teensy weensy baked potato with butter/sour cream/garlic & scallions. and finally, broccolini sauteed with onions garlic, then simmered with a little brandy and topped with lemon zest and parm regg shavings. so bright tasting!
i’d love that, but only if it’s not too much trouble. be happy to pay for shipping… i think you still have my email address? or you can get it here on my profile? if no, let me know. thanks so much for the offer!
I’m around. Have not been cooking much or cooking something interesting. Also, the weather has been atrocious much of spring and still is so no point in making photos. I’ve been eating a lot of crab claws, however.
I believe Harters has left HO because of someone choosing to troll him (as well as calling him a troll, which he most definitely is NOT. I do hope he chooses to return to at least our WFD thread(s), as I dearly miss him here.
As for your anywho? H-O-L-Y D-A-Y-A-M. I want to be @mariacarmen in my next life.
