I am surprised that none of you is interested in my large and unusual pods...

They ain't got legs & without them my level of interest in a food drops off dramatically.

Made swordfish steaks, coated with cayenne, onion powder, dill, salt, pepper, then crusted with chopped almonds, and pan fried on high heat for 1 minute per side. Pretty good, but the frozen fish from Trader Joe's is just not real close to fresh fish.

Couscous cooked in chicken stock, tossed with basil, tomatoes, garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper. Salsa fresca. Wild rice cooked in stock.

Pic now posted. Check this out!:eek:

"California Roll" salad...
 

Beth made this today. It has all of the ingredients of a California Roll, in a salad format. Great for a light summer lunch or dinner!

Filet roast. Seared in an iron frypan & finished in the oven. Served with oven roasted potatoes & a reduced beef broth/wine sauce.

The wine was a 1997 Banfi Brunello di Montalcino that I bought at the vineyard on release in 2002.

You are just teasing us, Randy. And A Bandol with a Barbaresco? :D

You only get a single solitary beef rib for that effort. Barbequed on low for 25 minutes . . .

Ian

we separated the Bandol and Barbaresco with a couple of Grand Cru Burgundies

you can FedEx me the rib

BTW you can tell which seat was mine by the location of the Tabasco bottle

Ha! It's the swamp in you. I am quite addicted to Frank's - which is readily available up here in the tundra - as an alternative to the ubiquitous Tabasco.

Ian

yup -- I like Frank's too; I have reduced my array of hot sauces from about 30 to only 5-7 on hand.

put it together for me Shaun...

That's cheese from a can. Not allowed!

Mmm.... Pesto.

Or as my kids call it; Green Noodles!

I had to sell an MFI fuel pump just for the pine nuts. :)

next, add the pesto to something... and post pics

Picture Thread: What's For Dinner?
 

Garlic chives w shrimp, sweet and sour porkhttp://tapatalk.com/mu/aefdecf4-fb0e-aec3.jpg

it can go with anything. for lunch I had a tomato, pesto and fresh ricotta cheese and a little bread soaked in red wine vinegar and olive oil.

could toss in pasta with chicken. marinate a steak, toast, shrimp...

pics bubba, pics

We have home-made pesto, made with basil grown in backyard almost every week in the summer. Great stuff!!

don't fear, I let it sit for 5 minutes and the pasta sucked up all the tomato broth, which is just a basket of local tomatoes, evoo, garlic and a little sugar

pasta, tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, fresh ricotta, basil pesto, picked roast chicken. it was incredibly light and above all, fresh, simple.

the rest of the tomatoes will get a touch of lard, caramelized onions and beef stock for a nice soup.

Want a cheap, redneck pasta salad that uses pesto? Forgive me, as it is not truly Italian...

Boil a bag of farfalle (bow tie) pasta. Drain, and cool it off. Add a bunch of pesto. Add a (drained) can of white chicken meat. Add a can of chopped black olives (mild ones, not Kalamata, Nicoise, etc.) Grind a bunch (maybe a cup) of real parmesan, season with some black pepper. Mix well, to separate the chicken into strands.

Takes 5 minutes after you boil the pasta.

Not dinner, but it is food related. Just Made these with herbs from my garden

Olive oil and then from left to right, Oregano, Basil, Sage and Rosemary all with garlic salt and pepper. Let sit a month or so.

Simple lazy dinner tonight. Pan fried beef filet + egg noodles with a garlic-cream-Parmesan sauce (that worked nicely with the steak too). Served with 2005 Gran Feudo Reserva.

Very yummy. And easy.

I have unleashed the bbq beast today. I dry rubbed two 6 lb pork butts last night, smoked on coal and oak this morning for about 2.5 hrs, then in the oven at 235 for about 10 hrs. Yeah man, thats 12.5 hrs of low and slow. Its resting now, internal temp is at 205 and it feels like a gelatinous bag of pork fat...will pull it in a few minutes.

Pork fat does, in fact, rule!

That looks amazing! What's your rub?

Not pretty but it was great. Shrimp, Lobster, Scallop and Red Snapper Veracruz in a black iron skillet on the Big Green Egg. One of our favorites.

This was a major hit with the family tonight.

Pork loin. I trimmed the fat off into one piece. Then cut the loin into a ~1/2 thick long piece. Sauteed cubed bread, onions, sage & butter until the bread had some crispness. Layered prosciutto + thinly sliced mozzarella onto the flat loin. Pressed the cooled bread mixture on top. Roll & tie. Put the fat layer on top of the roast & 2 - 3 slices of bacon covering everything. Roast until temp = 162. Pull it & wrap in foil while you make a simple brown gravy from the drippings. Chop bacon & sprinkle on sliced roast (the picture). Served with basmati rice & steamed asparagus.
