Massaged kale salad with apples, toasted pine nuts, candied walnuts, shaved fennel, and Iberian ham dressed with her bed lemon Italian style dressing. Bit of Parmesan on top.

Massaged kale is exactly what it sounds like. Taking raw baby kale, dressing it, and working it with your hands for 5 minutes gives it a much softer, almost cooked consistency.

Healthy, and delicious.

How did you cook the pork loin chops?

And a homemade green mango chutney?

Impressive; would you care to share the recipe?

That looks delicious, by the way, and one can never go wrong with sautéed spinach and shallots (though, I would probably have added plenty of freshly minced garlic, as well).

For juicy pork loin chops I always salt brine them first. To salt brine you take the meat out of the package, and lightly salt it on both sides, then place it uncovered on a wire rack in the fridge for a few hours, or even overnight.

This allows the salt to penetrate all the way inside, and provide both a better sear, and juicier meat, since the juice stays contained inside.

I then dip them in seasoned flour, in this case being AP flour, galic powder, cracked pepper, and garam masala.

I bring a cast iron pan. To temperature over medium heat then sear the chops to my satisfaction on one side uncovered, and then flip them, and cook the rest of the way covered over low heat.

Perfectly juicy chops every time. The seasoned flour browns beautifully, and leaves a great fond to develop your pan sauce with


The spinach contained about a tablespoon of fresh roasted garlic as well.

Thank you.

That sounds delicious.

I assume that you use olive oil in the cast iron pan?

Mexican spiced beef stew, with lots of cumin and chipotle chilies, served with fresh honey cornbread from the oven, avocado and pickled red onion.

Feeling sick today, and needed to clear my sinuses, so this packed quite a kick.

Lemon rose donuts, my wife’s favorite. I had chilaquiles with them, but they somehow disappeared before I took a pic…

Nothing quite satisfies like this on a cold day.

Grilled Shish Kebabs. Some marinated Mediterranean style, and some Japanese barbecue flavor.

Grilled Shish Kebabs. Some marinated Mediterranean style, and some Japanese barbecue flavor.

They look absolutely delicious.

What meat did you use, and what ingredients comprised the Mediterranean and Japanese marinade flavours?

 

[Mellofello808]

The meat is chicken thighs.

Mediterranean is marinated in a nice herbaceous Greek seasoning blend, along with roasted garlic, a touch of cayenne pepper, mushroom umami powder, Kens Caeser dressing, and good olive oil as a binder.

Japanese BBQ is Yuzu Bachans sauce with roasted garlic, sesame oil, Sriracha, and ground Szuchuan pepper corns.

Mom’s pho is the best pho

Oh, yum.

That looks absolutely mouth-watering - I am salivating just resting my eyes on that wonderful image.

Would you care to share the recipe?

I can well believe that "mom's pho" is the best; that looks delicious.

Sunday brunch comprised: Freshly squeezed (by me) citrus juice, a blend of pink grapefruit, blood oranges and lemons; coffee - a blend of two types of coffee from El Salvador (again, blended by me), served with hot milk, and a dash of double cream.

Scrambled eggs (free range, organic), served with fresh French sourdough bread, butter, and locally sourced heather honey.

Decided to try my hand at Palestinian Felafel. Served with store bought Arabic bread (I didn’t have time to make it today, problematic dentists visit for my kids), Palestinian Shatta (hot sauce), yogurt tahini sauce, sliced lemon, and Arabic salad (ok fine I rushed the salad and just made tomato slices and cucumber. Next time I’ll do it right with pickled turnips and cabbage).
