In advance of Cinco de Mayo, Cheaters “Mole Poblano” with chicken. One day I’ll make a real one but this uses a number of pantry ingredients and was pretty damn tasty. With arroz verde and guacamole salad.

But cheeks.The fishmonger had halibut cheeks today. What a treat; this is the best part of the fish.
Served over a blitz of nettles, green garlic, ramps, lemon, and parsley.

I like to make burgers from fresh ground chuck. Today the roasts were not on sale, but the Tri-tip was. The butcher said it would make a nice burger. He double ground it to get the fats dispersed. Was not a fan. Felt the patty came out dense. Pretty sure it was more the double grind than the change in meat.
I always double grind but I prefer a blend - I like 1/3 brisket, 1/3 sirloin, 1/3 short rib - so the double grind gets it good and integrated.

Do you have a grinder or do you use a food processor?
I have the grinder attachment for the KitchenAid. It's great.

I have a stand alone grinder but only use it for meatballs and sausage. Maybe more burgs now that Burger Antics is closed.
I combined three different recipes to make a pie today and the end result tastes good but looks like hell so I will leave you with this. I was gifted graham flour for making graham cracker crust and my first attempt at mixing and matching recipes was not as great as it could have been. I just should have pulled the pie when I checked it the first time. It was clearly done. Leaving it in longer just made a mess and burned the edges.
Well we got the Hetty Liu McKinnon fennel and halloumi salad right.
Huli huli chickpeas and zucchini from Alana Kysar's Aloha Veggies. Recipe is on Hetty's site and I just ordered the cookbook. The chickpeas are very addictive.
Spring produce with furikake and Ottolenghi's wasabi dressing. Hey boogercrack - this might be another good use for all your bonito.

Another Hetty dish.
Charted cauliflower and fried tofu with peanut sauce.
My aforementioned copy of Alana Kysar's Aloha Veggies arrived last week and it has some fun recipes. I've made two this week. They do take some time, but they were worth it.
Mixed greens lu'au in coconut milk with choy sum rice. I used fridge odds and ends including lamb's quarters (wild spinach), Swiss chard, and a handful of regular spinach.
Black lentil and chickpea patty loco moco with mushroom gravy. Burgers held together wonderfully (a rarity for veggie patties).
