I call it zucchini stew. Tina cooked diced zucchini and small meatballs in tomato sauce.
We will have that over Rotini macaroni tonight.

Any chance you could post a photo of this, Jimmy? Sounds great!

This looks horrible but tastes great! A Cuban sandwich with the bread torn off and half an avocado

Grilled dinner of strip steak, garden white eggplants, shishito peppers and tomato salad.

Everything but the steak was great.

Why was the steak not good?

Here it is: And Ooops! I forgot to say, I added a few scallops to the stew.......
Pretty soon, the "Zucchini Curse" will be bestowed on us. It will be zucchini this and that. Oh Boy!

 

[lilbopeep]

Fried chicken strips, homemade fries, steamed broccoli, and homemade soy ginger sauce for dipping.

 

[Sass Muffin]

Stuffed acorn squash today, maybe a tomato/onion salad too.

 

[lilbopeep]

No clue what dinner will be.

 

[lilbopeep]

DD is coming over tonight. She may bring stuff to make enchiladas.

 

[Johnny West]

I made reservations for 13 at Jamesons Charhouse for tonight. Hopefully all the travelers will make it in time.

Why was the steak not good?

Too rare and chewy. I ate two bites. I might slice it and make it into a cheesesteak sandwich.

Roulades on the stove cooking in gravy, slow and low..... Tina picked up some really nice thin top round steaks this AM. She gets her wish today. I will make mine some other day as brachiola's Sicilian style.
I may cook them in the slow cooker in tomato sauce. It's better than watching them every minute so they won't burn. Remember, burn the garlic, or burn the tomato sauce; there is no saving it; no matter what you try to doctor it up....

The last time I made braciole I browned them then put them in the instant pot with beef broth for like 30 minutes till tender. Then put in the the sauce with the broth and simmer a little bit.

Today's chose was to replenish the freezer
Big Pot of Chili -
So I'm guessing a Bowl of Chili for Dinner...

Noon Saturday 8/12- I finished off my freezer Chili last week, so I'm cooking
a whole new batch. Here is the heat from my Garden- Left to right-
2 Fresno-2 Serrano- a black and Red Thai- and 1 Jalapeno. I have a huge pot.
If it is not spicy enough, I have my Carolina Reaper powder. Those little Thai
Peppers are super hot. OH YEA-CHILI FOE DINNER TONIGHT.

Sounds great peeps...... I'm going to try that when I make them. Oh, and you are right. They have to be browned first. Carefully so they don't break and make a mess.

 

[Sass Muffin]

Sage sausage stuffed acorn squash, and grape tomatoes and red onion salad.
Scoop and eat!

 

[Luckytrim]

Dinner was at La Choza...

Fried Calamari Appetizer
Chicken Chimichangas (Deep-Fried Mini-Burritos)
with Beans & Yellow rice...
(Meh- I'll stick with the normal Burrito)

 

[Ironman]

Firecracker brats with lime tortilla chips and homemade salsa

 

[dansdiamond]

This is the best Chili I ever made. I started with
dry red beans. 3-4 lb's of Steak and Hamburger.
Peppers from my garden.

 

[rickismom]

Pan fried cod with cilantro slaw

 

[Embryodad]

The roulades we just had. They were good, but a little too salty. I'll need my 3X pants till this edema episode ends. Diuretics for dessert.....

Brown them in the oven. I used to do stove-top braciole, and meatballs. Now I brown in oven. No babysitting OR oil splatter burns.

 

[lilbopeep]

Homemade beef, bean, and cheese enchiladas, homemade Mexican-style rice, homemade salsa, and tortilla chips.

WOW! ......... I like that method of browning. As a matter of fact, I'm looking at my old photo's of my pics which are 95% food related, and I found my Calabrese Style pics of braciola. I use foil pockets to brown them, and bake them in. I use ground beef rolled out thinly, and use a rack to drip the excess water out.
