I like your rouille hack!
Bouillabaisse is going on my list…

Thanks. I’m pretty good at food improv. I through it together once and it worked. If I have roasted red peppers around I’ll use them but that isn’t always the case.

As I said somewhere in this thread, I think I’m going to start writing a vermouth cookbook. Dish after dish with it comes out a success. Here we have bay scallops sautéed with butter, garlic, onion, parsley, spritz of lemon juice, and Martini & Rossi dry vermouth. Served over crispy pan-fried polenta. Crusty Italian bread on the side for dredging through this delicious sauce. I would have preferred shrimp here, but the last few days have been full of freezer dives, fridge clean-out, and making use of what’s on hand.

ooooh that looks MARVELOUS.

Wanted to use up at least some of the 5 or 6 jars of pesto in the freezer from summers gone by, plus fresh mozz and provolone. But I had ground beef. So I made meatballs. Tossed them in with penne, pesto, and TPSTOC (cheeses; parm regg too.) and a few cherry tomatoes too. Into the oven. (not ideal on this sweltering day, but oh well.) Big salad on the side.

Chinese tonight, off by a day for the long weekend. I didn’t cook, other than a bit of prep. But dinner was very late.

Sautéed shiitake mushrooms, garlic green beans, broccoli, soy garlic steak, peanut tofu, brown rice.
