You must have been cooking for hours?!
Ahi Tuna Sushi rolls. These are inside out rolls – a little harder to make, but better presentation (in my opinion). I kind of remember purchasing this Ahi Tuna when it was on sale. It was all the way in the bottom of the freezer.
must be something in the air. i felt like some sushi as well. made a couple of rolls: avocado+ahi, tamagoyaki+green onion+ahi. with some kewpie/sriracha sauce. cucumber salad on the side.
Very Pretty Rolls!!
Black cod (aka butterfish, aka sablefish), prepared alla Livornese (I’m really liking that prep: shallot, garlic, cherry tomatoes, olives). Over farfale.
I like the way this fish gets flaky and tender when cooked…
Beautiful plate of food
And delicious!
Red Cabbage-Asparagus Bowl - a mix of quinoa with cilantro, edamame, shredded red cabbage, pan-roasted asparagus and avocado with a sauce made from pureeing cilantro stems, garlic, lemon juice, sesame oil, maple syrup, hoisin sauce and chili crisp
So what have you been eating? Do you have any pictures of your dinners you’d like to share?
Don’t feed the troll
Hence, no photos. lol
Make your own Poke bowls. Last bits of a bag of barley and a bag of quinoa mixed together. Cooked with coconut milk. And the girls love pickled radishes, so made a whole jar.
Spaghetti and meatballs at house number 2. They were craving it.
And I had a spicy chicken breast on some broccoli slaw.
I made a warm grain bowl with elements from two different recipes in The Weeknight Vegetarians and a few of my own contributions: steamed tricolor quinoa, roasted veg (carrots, beets, cabbage, and butternut squash), mixed greens, radishes, endive, pepitas, crispy shallots, chives, tomatoes, cucumbers, and Chevre (post photo). That all was dressed with a sauce of avocado, oo, lemon juice, honey, cilantro, white wine vinegar, and s&p. I would skip the cabbage and radishes next time.
Tasty, and a lot of prep work and chewing . This was too much for me to finish in one go.
A sunny afternoon seemed practically made for a walk with a friend I hadn’t seen in a while, but the wind and chilly temps had us pivot to early HH drinks at a brewery — I had a Mexicali Coffee with tequila, cinnamon (barely noticeable, thankfully) and cayenne (ditto, unfortunately), she had a Black Manhattan. She needed to unload & spent the next hour venting about work, fam, and the state of the world. I just sat there and sipped my drink until it was time go home and have an actual coffee so as to no pass out by 9pm.
I had some cooking to do, after all, bc our OG plans to have our first Sichuan jour fixe fell through, as the hole-in-the-wall place we’ve been going to for near 15 years now only has a buffet, and no longer any a la carte menu. The end of an era
And while our jour fixe is postponed until next week to another very good Sichuan place in town, I was still in the mood for Sichuan, and so whipped up mapo tofu with ground lamb from our share and a few chopped up leeks. I fried up the lamb in a separate pan, removed some of the rendered fat, and cooked the leeks in the remaining lamb fat. My beloved contributed rice and “his” bok choy.
I took someone’s (ricepad?) advice here and ground up the toasted Sichuan peppercorns in the spice mill vs. using a mortar & pestle. Saved a lot of time & elbow grease, and made just enough to shprinkle on top for extra numbness. Came out rather excellent. Who needs a restaurant?
Local pilsner to drank with.
Day 2 of DH’s low fiber diet. Chicken, egg noodles, and broth for him. For me, the same but a a mirepoix with veg and herbs cooked on the side, and added to the bowl of soup. Saltines for all.
the last of the ahi. put it over the leftover sushi rice with some veg. made a sesame ginger dressing that went well with it.
