Supper

Gobi-saag-paneer? Interesting twist.

[small h]

And not even paneer. Tofu.

[relbbaddoof]

You're a trail-blazer. You could take on Priya Krishna with your own Indian-ish-ish.

[relbbaddoof]

Let me add that, while I'm ambivalent on tofu as a sub for paneer, I do think you're onto something with the addition of cauliflower. I'm tasting it, as I write, on my mind's tongue and I like. Needs some calibrated spicing, though, to balance the blandness.

lamb braised in red wine with carrots, parsnips, cinnamon, and prunes, served with mashed potatoes. arugula salad with grape tomatoes.

We've been keeping an "emergency earthquake" supply of easy-to-open cans of food, swapping them out as they get closer to their best buy dates.  We had a canned ham approaching that date, so N made a hash with the ham, potatoes, onions, and the other half of our red cabbage, along with some Middle Eastern-style baked beans (using RG Cranberry Beans).

[Wilfrid]

Last hunk of meat from Foster Sundry, a big boneless beef shank. Braised of course. Second round tonight was tacos. I still have at least one serving left.

After a couple of hours in the low oven I was worried that it would stay tough. Two hours more and it was perfect.

Many of you will be horrified. I had not had a fried Spam sandwich in decades, but had a craving and went for it. I've got leftovers.

Musubi!

Caramelized cabbage in tomato sauce. I had a note on this recipe that it took much longer than indicated, but last night it did not. Which is good, 'cause I was hungry.

Shrimp and firefly squid salad. I still have squid left over (this is the second dish I've made with it), and I'm getting a little sick of squid. Eh.

These are sold as  Wild Montauk Red Royal Shrimp 8-10/lb Head-On.

They were not 8 - 10s, but that's okay. Got about 15 for the pound. Head-on, and arrived in perfect condition. Prior to cooking, removed the head from half (or many) of them, for the better half.

Oh - they were fucking delicious.

Olive oil, garlic, white wine, lemon, parsley, chives. Served with rice.

I remember spam fritters for school lunch, battered deep-fried spam from fish and chip shops. Sliced, fried Dominican salami hits a similar spot (must be Induveca).

[MitchW]

Chirashi, using Hokkaido Nanatsuboshi -北海道 ななつぼし- 2024 Crop, 70% milled, from The Rice Factory.  Seared sushi-grade Ahi, avocado, gari, ikura, and one sad cherry tomato.  Side order of house-made oshinko (if that's the right term for the pickled veg, or does it just mean pickled radish?).

[StephanieL]

N picked a Romanesco cauliflower and had to spend a couple of days de-aphiding it.  It's currently in the fridge but smelling like, well, cauliflower, so I'm going to make an Indian cauliflower, RG yellow split pea, and potato curry for dinner.

And it still wasn't completely aphid-free.  Extra protein.

I had a very traumatic artichoke experience years ago, making me a very vigilant artichoke prepper.

[Diancecht]

hubby lived in tx for a while when he was younger, so we had chile con carne tonight. and spinach salad with ranch dressing.

 

[Diancecht]

that bottom pic is: scallions, cilantro, cheese, sour cream. off to the side is a bottle of tabasco.

[small h]

I need to triple the shrimp recipe next time.

[Wilfrid]

I am sure New Yorkers here are familiar with Zabars' prepared foods but I just tried the salmon cakes for the first time and wow really good.

Followed by Livarot from the same.

[Diancecht]

meatballs with tomato sauce; green beans with onion, herbs, and lemon.

i overestimated the amount of fresh breadcrumbs i would need for the polpette. oops.

[maison rustique]

If I'm going to have a grilled cheese for supper, it is not going to be an orange plastic slice on Wonder bread.

 

When my sis was here Saturday, she brought a couple of pieces of a cannoli poke cake she'd made so I had a piece of that for dessert. No pix because I completely mangled it trying to get it on the plate.

Maccheroncini rigati w/3-mushroom sauce.  Roasted broccolini.

[Diancecht]

trout, stuffed with flat-leaf parsley and lemon slices, seasoned with salt, then baked atop sliced potatoes and onions (which were seasoned with olive oil, salt, and pepper). the fish was baked for 35 minutes at 350 f/175 c. broccolini with lemon.
