What is/was for dinner?

I'm a big fan of sous vide cooking. These NY strips have been in the freezer for probably over a year. But you wouldn't be able to tell just by looking at them and more importantly, tasting them. Put them in a water bath at 129°, then finished them on the grill for 4 minutes on each side. It was very tender.

I ate Arby's 3 hours ago.

Yeah, yeah, I've had diarrhea too

An easy - and very tasty - winter favourite:

Pasta with homemade blue cheese sauce (double cream, pasta cooking liquid, three types of blue cheese that I needed to use up), and wilted spinach.

Sounds delicious. What shape of pasta did you use?

I had a similar pasta with sundried tomato, and walnut with spinach, and it was amazing.

Sounds delicious. What shape of pasta did you use?

I had a similar pasta with sundried tomato, and walnut with spinach, and it was amazing.

Originally, I came across a version of this recipe in a Nigel Slater recipe book (Real Fast Food, if memory serves), around twenty five years ago.

Anyway, I diced Gorgonzola, and Stilton, and some Birbablu, allowing them to melt in an Italian sauté pan under a low heat.

Any blue cheese will work with this - or, any blend of blue cheeses - but, I usually try to ensure that I have some Gorgonzola to hand; it is a great way of using up blur cheeses.

Sometimes, I will use a variety of cheese - they don't always have to be blue (but, for me, they usually are).

When the cheese was melted, I added some double cream, and, later, some of the liquid from the pasta cooking water.

Next in, was the shredded spinach, which was allowed to wilt.

Finally, the cooked pasta - today, I used orecchiette - was added, and mixed through. Candidly, any pasta will work well with this dish. I have also used the long pastas successfully.

Chopped walnuts will go exceptionally well with this dish; in fact, they are almost always served with the classic gnocchi and blue cheese sauce.

It is an easy, and incredibly tasty dish - one of the very few meals that can be on te table 30 minutes after one started preparing it.

I have blue cheese, walnuts, and gnocchi at home.

Perhaps that will be this weekend's cheat meal.

You'll need some double cream, as well.

However, it is a tasty, and easy to prepare meal, perfect for late winter.

Some greens (kale, chard, spinach, or, even a green salad, are excellent with this dish).

Slow roasted pork belly is on the menu for this evening.

I finally got some food for Lunar New Year: Steamed Filet of Sole.

That looks delicious.

What is the sauce?

 

[Scepticalscribe]

My own repast was slow cooked belly of pork (cooked on a low heat for over six hours, apart from the initial twenty minutes, which were very high so that proper crackling would develop), - sea salt rubbed into the scored skin, - on a bed of sautéed onions, and carrots, and garlic, (around eight fat cloves of garlic), thinly sliced cooking apple, some anchovies (which were dissolved into the stock), and a few thinly sliced potatoes, seasoned with freshly ground black pepper, and sprigs of thyme, to which was added stock, white wine, and homemade (though not by me) apple juice.

With this, I served cooking apples that had been sautéed in butter and brown sugar.

 

[bousozoku]

That looks delicious.

What is the sauce?

It's some secret recipe with Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic, ginger. The restaurant has changed hands but the recipe seems to have remained in the building.

I'll eat eggplant kebab afternoon 🙂

Slow cooked pork belly with French bread, Dijon mustard, cornichons, and roasted apple.

I was ate eggplant kebab and after İ'm drinking tea 🙂
Mix with honey

 

[Scepticalscribe]

Slow cooked belly of pork is a cheap cut of meat, which yields an incredibly tasty dish.

However, the preparation - and, above all, the cooking - both take time.

Actually, yesterday, this dish was in the oven for well over six hours - but this ensures that the meat is wonderfully moist and flavoursome when finally served.

And the pork crackling was delicious.

Chicken rice and vegetable stir fry. Just the usual.

 

[oldBCguy]

.. one serving of a recent, simple, easy to prepare, and colourful dinner for the two of us - pan-fried pork breakfast sausages, with potato & cheddar cheese perogies, slices of fresh tomato & celery, and my freshly-prepared apple sauce with pieces of Mandarin orange, celery, and bell red pepper, topped with a plain yogurt.

 

[Mellofello808]

Had the hankering for a sandwich.

Rosemary Ham, smoked turkey, and thin cut lacy swiss on fresh baked ciabatta bread with organic veggies, and fresh herbs.

I went to Pizza Twist and ordered an 11 inch Bombay Garlic Paneer pizza.

It's difficult to find traditional food in California.

It's difficult to find traditional food in California.

That, I can well imagine.

I had Chicken Tikka pizza on a recent work trip, and I am obsessed.

It makes sense that Indian food pizza would taste delicious since it goes so well with naan, but I never made the connection in my mind.
