What's On Our Plates Sunday 14 June - Saturday 20

[QSis]

Dan, your steak dinner looks incredible!

Kathy, how/where did you cook the blackened halibut? I tried doing it on top of the stove in a cast iron pan and set the smoke detectors off. Fire department came. (Your spinach looks absolutely perfectly cooked!)

I justa make a sandagueech of fried green peppers, and provolone cheese for brunch.
All while I made fried cubed zucchini and spiral pasta for supper.
Made a nice tomato salad to have with that.
.......................all simple; but tasty ..................................and cheap.

I decided to top the steak with a sauce of grainy mustard (Koop's)+honey.

Didn't want to do plain old mash again so found a recipe for Martha Stewart's Potato Pancakes.
Yum! A little stubborn coming out of the pan in one piece, but very delicious.
I was afraid to allow them longer cook time, as they looked like they were more mushing vs browning.
I need to experiment with these!

Steamed green beans.

Plain peasant food plus use up stuff from the freezer and leftover bits in the fridge. Two kinds of German sausage, Napa cabbage, onions, potatoes, spices with juniper berries and a touch of caraway, with a little mustard sauce. What was left of the homemade pickled canned roasted beets.

Blackening has as more to do with the spices than with very high heat. Back your heat down to just med-high, especially for something thin and delicate like fish.

I don't use cast iron for it. In a regular tri-ply, if it's getting too hot, I can lift the pan off the heat and quickly drop the temp. Cast iron holds the heat too well. If it start to burn, I can't do much about it.

Okay, well I'll try that - thanks, SS! I have a seasoning mix.

I have a hunk of pork tenderloin. Pretty sure it's going to turn into pork stroganoff. I may just cook it on the GF with a side of broc and squash.

Try using evap milk instead of regular milk or cream.

Mash with several garlic cloves thrown in.

Mash with steamed cauliflower florets mashed in.

Smashed potatoes, cook them like you normally do, but don't mash. Stir in butter, cream, maybe sour cream so you get extremely lumpy mash. You can even leave the skins on.

Cook your potatoes in large chunks with or without skins like you would for a mash, but not quite as much. Drain. Put some oil or oil/butter mix in a skillet. Place a chunk of potato in the skillet and smash down with a small bowl or bottom of a good sized glass. Fry until GB&D on 1 side, flip and fry on the other.

Rice & burger Stuffed Peppers, Air-roasted Potatoes, Sweet Corn in Tomato Sauce, Salad - Hidden Valley Ranch ...
