StephanieL Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 We've had a sizable amount of leftover roast beef in the freezer since last August, so in order to free up some space and to save a little money, we had some of the meat with crispy duck-fat potatoes and both cooked and raw fava bean pesto. The rest will be turned into sandwiches during the week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

joethefoodie Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 19 hours ago, joethefoodie said: It wasn't because I read the post about Bamonte's, but... Beef and pork meatballs, with a "Tuscan-style" meat sauce. And it took an extra day, which as @Sneakeater may attest to, only makes it better... Meatballs and gravy with casarecci. Peas and carrots too. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StephanieL Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 So the rest of the leftover roast beef was not turned into sandwiches, but instead was slow cooked in a homemade mole (with chocolate and everything). Sides included RG Midnight Blacks, tortillas, sauteed mushrooms & onions, a simple tomato salsa, and lime and avocado wedges. Goose Island Christmas IPA to drink.

small h Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Almost the last of the ramps. With asparagus and ricotta dumplings. I see my plating sucks today, alas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joethefoodie Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 I confess to using the parboiling with baking soda method for this batch of roasted potatoes: which came out nice and crispy; cooked in the CSO for a few minutes more after this picture was snapped. And then served with: Pan-roasted round bone shoulder lamb chops, pan sauce, and sautéed asparagus. My chive supply was nonexistent, so scallions were the garnish...heathen.

rozrapp Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Last night: Salad with red leaf lettuce, chèvre, red onion & vinaigrette. Surrounded by cocktail tomatoes. Michael saw them when we were at Whole Foods and thought we should try them. Fantastic! Chicken Marbella with roasted garlic and rosemary potatoes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Chicken Marbella remains one excellent dish, doesn’t it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Though the chicken, olives & prunes are supposed to be marinated overnight, I did it for about four hours. Still turned out great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
