I might also skip broiling in lieu of cooking en papillote with saikyo miso butter @ChristinaM — mix some of the saikyo miso with soft butter, coat the cod, and wrap up — the butter will help add missing moisture, and more saikyo miso in the packet should help the flavor.
Reverse sear, bone in ribeye, mushrooms and salad. I don’t think the meat was thick enough for a reverse sear, came out medium , first time trying it at home but it was tasty and that big ass piece was only $11.
I’ll still use my Bbq with the Grillgrates in the summer.
We did Taco Tuesday! The fish was baked in parchment and foil packets with a spicy chipotle lime mayo that went together really quickly (and cleaned up ever more quickly). This is a great week night recipe!
Taco soup (RecipeTin Eats) with sour cream and baby cilantro with Tostitos with melted cheese - which clearly I should have taken out of the oven before faffing around with cilantro!! Tasty anyway.
I love reverse sear for ribeye, but only when I have a 2" thick monster. Otherwise you’re right, it takes too long when you could just do the whole thing in a hot skillet and be eating in 20 mins or less!
Last dinner in paradise was burger night: house-ground chuck, cheddar & American cheese, red onion, lettuce, mayo shmear on a sesame bun. Aldi pickle spears on the side that are strikingly similar to Grillo’s (good to know ). Chips for thems that wanted them on the side.
En route to the airport hotel, and already missing our friends
Pasta Alla Gricia (cheesy pasta with bacon and kale), recipe courtesy of the Washington Post. Served with lemon and red pepper flakes on the side. I like mine with kalamata olives.
Pork noodle soup. Pork tenderloin, marinated in hoisin, gochujang, chile oil, seared and roasted. Sauteed onions, garlic, mushrooms, bok choy then added miso broth. Served over lo mein noodles with the pork, sbe, green onions, cilantro, black sesame seeds. A side of pickled daikon, carrot and red onion.
BF made me another salad with my gochujang dressing, and for himself he took some the corned beef my sister made and made himself this monster with scrambled egg and a squishy supermarket croissant he toasted.
i agree with this too - and I don’t like very sweet sauces/marinades, but the saltiness of the miso really offsets the sugar. I was going to have the BF do the “real” deal for me this week - a three day marinade, but our local fishmonger wouldn’t sell him just one small piece of black cod, so maybe i’ll make it for my sister and I again soon but try marinating for 3 days.
I bought 2 lbs last time I found black cod at a reasonable price and it looked decent, marinated everything for 2-3 days and froze it. I figure defrosting will finish the cure.
It survived the freeze — will test out a piece this week.
Lamb ragu with pappardelle - ground lamb with leeks, micro arugula, parsley, mint, rosemary, chives, garlic, anchovies, tomato paste, lemon zest and juice, white wine and chicken broth. Topped with some pecorino.
Served with a green bean salad with a vinaigrette made from shallots, chives, capers, mustard, olive oil and white wine vinegar.
Does yours come with the pin bones completely removed? The ones I’ve been getting doesn’t and they have been a real pain. I’ve ended up just cutting the line of them out.
