What are you cooking???

I also had shrimp last night, along with some snow peas. I didn't make the dumplings but I did break in my new mini bamboo steamer with them.

Blue oyster mushroom pappardelle.

Kebab-spiced maitake, tahini, shatta, pita, and a chickpea salad.

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.

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.

My kid made a bolognese tonight for mom. It was tasty and we had fun making it. Neither of us are very good at presentation.

Do you have a grinder or do you use a food processor?

I have the grinder attachment for the KitchenAid. It's great.

Do you have a grinder

Only on my phone

 

[OceanOfMead]

I have a stand alone grinder but only use it for meatballs and sausage. Maybe more burgs now that Burger Antics is closed.

Moar shrooms!

King oyster ropa vieja.

Farro with asparagus and morels.

Spring pesto: Nettles, spinach, green garlic, and asparagus.


Spring curry: Fiddleheads, bok choy, and ramps.

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.

 

[OceanOfMead]

Well we got the Hetty Liu McKinnon fennel and halloumi salad right.

kid made "fancy" garlic bread last night

involved chopping fresh parsley and garlic. the word pungent does not do the aroma justice. even with air purifiers running all night the house still smells of parsley and garlic this morning. amazing.
