What's For Dinner Tonight?

Joekerr · 01-03-2021, 07:32 PM

New Years Eve was beef tenderloin steak with a marinade I'm fond of with sweet potato fries, and accompanied by snow crab and drawn garlic butter with a little lemon juice.

I had the tenderloin left over from when we did a beef wellington for my birthday.

Tonight was hunter's chicken, or chicken cacciatore. Recipe from Joy of Cooking, 1975 Edition. With steamed brown rice and simple salad dressed with EVOO and fresh squeezed lemon juice. So good.

I make the dish with a less common preparation of boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2" cubes, dredged in seasoned flour and browned in oil.

The sauce is a great combination of wine, stock, tomato paste, onions, shallots and herbs. Savory and naturally sweet.

White pizza, common in the East Coast where we used to live. So good. Fuhgettaboutit!

Dough recipe from Bruno Albouze. Here are the amounts I used, scaled down from the original recipe.

300 g flour, Tipo 00 is best but I had white unbleached all purpose on hand
100 g water
100 g milk
12 g olive oil
5 g salt
1/2 packet instant yeast

Mix dough ingredients, knead for 10-15 minutes by hand or in a machine with the hook attachment until elastic. Wrap with plastic and leave in the fridge overnight.

Remove dough from fridge 15-30 minutes before baking. Brush pizza screen or pan with olive oil. Preheat oven to 550 deg F.

Dust work surface with corn meal, stretch dough to fit a 14" pizza screen or pan. Brush top surface of stretched dough with olive oil. Add seasonings and toppings, drizzle a little more olive oil. Bake at 550 deg F for 12-15 minutes until desired doneness. I like my crust fairly well done, my wife likes it less well done. The photo shows a middle ground of doneness. I like to see some char on the crust.

Pizza seasonings:
salt
pepper
dried rosemary
dried oregano
thinly sliced onion
finely minced fresh garlic
cooked and dried spinach, I used frozen from the grocery. Cooked broccoli is also excellent
fresh mozzarella

Steak Frites d’Maison

Pan fried filet in butter and rosemary with cold fried frites and salad with vinaigrette. Fresh cantaloupe for dessert.

Steak more done than ideal but flavor and texture excellent nevertheless.

Steak frites is tough to beat. But I’d always go for béarnaise to dip my fries in...

It has been awhile since I have done braised short ribs, but this motivated me so I picked some up at the butchers today. Tomorrow's dinner!

JJ 911SC · 01-17-2021, 06:15 PM

Last beef meal (prime) was on the 1st of Jan...

This one was an inside round, just as nice.

Someone else wanted to be at the table!

JJ 911SC · 01-18-2021, 06:23 PM

From the Philip Pasta Maker recipes book.

Soba Salad (home made pasta) with Salmon and Asparagus (and Mango).

Written as a cold salad but we (I bought the ingredients

) did it warm, put all the ingredients in the pasta pot after draining it. The left over will be good as a cold salad.
