That looks and sounds spectacular!

It was pretty good. If you make it, I suggest not skimping on the cumin and the lemon, as they, along with the feta, kinda make the dish.

I can groove to that for the most part, as I love lemon… not so crazy about cumin, but I’ll have a look-see :slight_smile:

A Greek feast courtesy of our wonderful hostess, FKA linny on the ole Chowhound: lemon potatoes, fasoulakia, pork souvlaki, tzatziki (my only contribution to this meal), spanakopita. Everything was fantastic as usual <3

RIGHT. UP. MY. ALLEY. :heart: (even though I’ve never had black Urfa pepper or purple dulse flakes)

I should have said black Urfa chili (Urfa biber). I believe it is botanically the same as Aleppo chili, which I know you like, but cured differently so it’s a bit smoky. Purple dulse (seaweed) flakes have a briny umami flavor.

One of my absolute favorites. To me it’s significantly milder than Aleppo and has a nice fruity, smoky umami. A bit like Korean gochugaru, in the sense that it’s fruity and not too hot, now that I think about it. It’s good on everything!

I love braised endive (I love it raw, too). I just use butter, lemon, salt and lots of fresh ground pepper.

How do you make yours?

bravo! now make it 500 more times! :smile:

i’ve struggled with that dish for many, many years, but then i finally bought a double-sided pan (made for frittatas), since I make it so often. works great.

but yours looks good no matter the mishap! yum yum… i’m going to have to make one soon…

Ooo, I’m going to try it your way next time! I use butter and chicken broth. I love it raw too. My favorite winter salad is sliced endive, sliced radish and diced avocado with lemon vinaigrette and crunchy Maldon sea salt flakes.

I know this doesn’t look like much. Hollowed out thickly buttered roll stuffed with Kroger chicken salad. Chili cheese Fritos and a side of whole berry cranberry sauce. But damn it’s good. Neither one of us wanted leftover meatloaf.:slightly_smiling_face:

Last night’s dinner was a beef stew served over fettucine. The beef was made in the slow cooker with mushrooms and onions.
