I made Peruvian chicken with aji verde tonight, with Mexi-rice, and I added tomatoes, a little cabbage, and avocado to the BF’s zucchini salad from last night. The aji verde got slathered on most everything, of course. I didn’t make enough of it to blend properly, didn’t quite reach the blades - therefore the green specks of cilantro. Still, just about the tastiest thing on the plate, always!
Also made a Cantonese beef and daikon braise from Woks of Life for tomorrow night’s dinner. It smells good in here!

I’m currently in Lisboa & have posted a few meals I’ve had here as well.

Last night’s dinner was plain but satisfying: Amylu Garlic-Asiago chicken sausages (when grilled and slightly charred they oddly taste like hot dogs, so I did put mustard on them). Martin’s Potato Roll. Horseradish Cheddar kettle chips.
Steamed asparagus with butter drizzled over. Salt and pepper.
I don’t know about you but for asparagus season, these were all stem before prepping.

Isn’t that normally just a vehicle to eat tons of garlic butter (and I thought you hate butter) ?
Baked chicken breast, tater tots, epic wedge salad to use up some CSA veg and fridge stuff (although we were out of blue cheese).

Braised beef & daikon, as promised, from Woks of Life. Not exactly 91 degree (at dinnertime) weather fare, but it was good. BF sauteed the last of the gai lan on the side to go with.

Inspired by a post from @gcaggiano: NY strip steak on the grill with homemade potato chips and roasted broccolini from the garden.
Kudos to DH for the chips.

Back from from a weekend away I didn’t really want to be away for… took the subway an extra stop with my carry on so I could go to the grocery store on the way home and pick up something easy for dinner like dumplings.
But… turns out I’m craving home cooking, so I bought chicken and potatoes and made one of our basic home chicken curries instead.
Roasted cauliflower while the chicken cooked.
Happy to be home, and stay home for a litte while!

not the way these critters were prepared.
How did you prepare them ?
Well here you go @MunchkinRedux:
I’ve made a lot of stir-fry and Asian dishes in the last week, so tonight I was craving a steak: my go-to peppercorn encrusted NY Strip with a baked potato and string beans sautéed with butter, garlic, and crushed red pepper. I also picked up a bottle of Peter Luger’s steak sauce for dipping and it truly is worth the hype.
There was a G & T or two…

I think Makrut is the preferred term now.

Last night we made another meal kit and fortunately, it was much better. This was baharat-dusted b/s chicken breast roasted alongside chickpeas and grape tomatoes (we added onion and CSA zucchini). A lemon-garlic citronette, mint, and Greek feta were added before serving.

Last night had a nice dinner, but wish I had made cornbread to go with the meal. Oh well. And as pistachiopeas stated, “want to use up things we have rather than….” Purchased potato salad, IP Pinto beans, sauteed hamburger patty, green onions, cherry tomatoes and cucumber slices.

Not in the mood to cook, but I had the pork chop defrosted. So I made a quick pork stir fry with broccoli, carrots, red bell peppers and onions.
Velveted the strips of pork, then quick cooked them in hot oil. Removed the pork, and added more oil and the veg, sauteed for 3 minutes, tossed in some grated ginger and minced garlic, then a sauce blend of dry sherry, orange juice, soy sauce, Sriracha, sesame oil, and brown sugar.
Returned the pork to the pan, added a cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce, and served it over Basmati rice.
Yeah. I had a glass of wine. The day needed it.
