Had a big din-din planned but the BF said he was craving a burrito. Who am I to say no to a craving? Sent him off to get his burrito and had this instead. It was actually going to be a part of our dinner tonight, but it really would have been too rich (i went a bit heavy on the ricotta.) Fresh favas, with evoo, a teeny splash of Jerez sherry vinegar, and s&p, over fresh ricotta with lemon zest/juice, mint, fresh grated nutmeg, s&p, on sourdough toast. And finally some camping snacks - a little mousse pâtÊ and pub cheese with toastlets. Stuffed.

Oh and his burrito. Whatevs! :roll_eyes:

the other part of dinner was going to be a pork roulade, stuffed with a mixture of sauteed shallots, shrooms, and thyme, this delicious fig/olive tapenade i bought also leftover from the camping trip, and a little blue cheese. tied and wrapped it up tight and stuck it in the fridge for Monday night’s dinner, as I’m going out with my sister tomorrow.

Also, found a hunk of bourbon smoked paprika/habanero sugar-rubbed pork shoulder in the freezer this morning, so i seared that up and stuck it in a low/slow oven for another dinner this week. It appears we’re on a pork roll. Get it? :stuck_out_tongue:

Made some Cuban style mojo marinated pork using this recipe:

But instead of cooking in the oven I put it in the pressure cooker with the marinade for 80 minutes, let the pressure release naturally, and then took it out and browned it in a hot oven for about 15 minutes. Came out very tender, almost fell apart when slicing.

Served with broccolini and white rice.

Discovered that my dishwasher requires maintenance so a lot of dishes to do :neutral_face:

Last night was pulling what ever was leftover and try to make something new.

Some smoked brisket from Father’s Day needed to get used (I live in a magic house). Found some mini colored peppers that I blackened and then removed all skin, ribs and seeds and diced fine. There was an ear of corn from last week that also got a little char and was cut from the cob. All this on to a large toasted flour tortilla topped with shredded arugula, cilantro and green tomatillo salsa. Rolled and scarfed down with a beer to drink
