What's for Dinner #43 - 03/2019 - the SMarch Edition

Actually, the dish should taste very strongly the presence of peanut butter or rather subtle?

thanks for all your great cataplana advice! I hope to clear out room and then come back to your posts.

hope that metallutil for $60 is still available. Metallutil is a great product but I think they are all round bottom. If you have gas stove, that is OK

Burgers from the George Forman (oh, hurry Spring!), and boiled Yukon Gold Potatoes. Not shown are spears of Vlasic Kosher Dill Pickles.

I made enchiladas! I don’t know if I’ve ever even had these but I really liked this version. Filled with beef and black beans. The sauce came together quickly. Lots of spices simmered in a thick tomato paste and stock sauce. Yummm!

Okay, that was “breakfast”, not dinner. Son is making dinner, and I’m baking a cake.

I knew they were coming, so…

Meera Sodha’s cod in green coconut chutney, kale salad with avocado, tomatoes, cranberries and pepitas, and cucumber-tomato salad in yogurt. I had a little quinoa-bulgur mix under the fish as well. Baby ate…a bite.

Tonight was leftover Hatch chile mac and cheese with a hybrid bechamel/sodium citrate sauce. I was pretty happy with the texture and flavor of the sauce but should have added more chiles, onions and garlic and left the veggies in larger pieces. Too bad my plating covers up the nice brown crusty pieces on the top.

For dessert, leftover banana pudding with homemade vanilla wafers from Smitten Kitchen’s blog.(Talk about a dairy-heavy meal!) It was good but I’m not sure I’ll make it again.

Green coconut chutney sounds fabulous…

Everything in the bowl…! The usual suspects plus some red bell pepper and scallions, with kimchi vinegrette
Side of that heinous peanut wheat gluten that i’m going to spare you another image of.
Kombucha to drink.
I may christen the new jar of peanut butter for dessert with my tea, there are a few dates left so I’ll schmear some on those

Carolina red rice - homey comfort food. I used Cochon bacon and andouille sausage (rather than smoked beef because it’s what i had) with lashings of Frank’s Red Hot. a very dull green salad on the side.

my lunch salad today (a Chinese chicken salad, of sorts, made with black vinegar and sesame oil) was much better but would not have paired well.

Yum! And funny, I almost made this tonight as well from leftover green and coconut chutneys… maybe later in the week.

Chicken breast pounded, soaked in buttermilk, coated in Italian bread crumbs, and sauteed in olive oil. Roasted asparagus and wine for sides.

I enjoy the varied texture of the chewy tripe and the soft potato, and the background of the peanut butter.
Enjoyed with it are the red onions and tomatoes with cilantro and lime juice
