aaronsinger Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I'm also a fan of the mint+ricotta salata with watermelon salads. Based on what happened to be in the fridge (sadly had to throw out spoiled goat cheese), tonight I had a watermelon-tomato-mint-blue cheese-balsamic salad. It was yummy.

KMango Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Yesterday was our every-other-month chicken pickup from a family farm. We were talking with the matriarch about the chicken fat we render after we break down the birds for freezing. "Try popping popcorn in it", she suggested. We just did. It's incredible, elevated even further via freshly ground black pepper. *swoon* (that's a flavor swoon) (not a cardiac event swoon) (everything in moderation, i promise) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ol_ironstomach Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Slices of domestic Fuet, and a couple of precious ounces of imported jamón Iberico. I don't think it's possible for me to go into A&H and only buy the thing I came in for, in this case a nice piece of bacalao. Also picked up more Ortiz anchovies since we were running low. The Iberico (alas, non-bellota, and machine sliced) is temporarily available, in addition to their usual Serrano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveO Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Not eating it yet but I am beginning an effort to make chicken oreganata or chicken oregano, of which there are many recipes and variations on the web. It was the favorite dish of my youth found in Italian restaurants in NY and NJ. My fave were small pieces of chicken, bone in, broiled or grilled with browned outer skin, moist inside with tremendous flavors of oregano, lemon, and other seasonings. I'll work through a few variations until I get something close to what I recall. Anyone familiar with this recipe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll work through a few variations until I get something close to what I recall. Anyone familiar with this recipe? This sounds a lot like chicken a la grande at Mosca's, an institution outside (way outside) New Orleans. Delicious. I believe they have the recipe available on their web site. It used to be a mafia hangout, and I grew up not far from there. The urban legend i heard as a child was that because there was so much mafia activity they didn't have a telephone on premises. When there was a traffic accident on the dark, desolate road in front, no one could call the police from Mosca's. You didn't want to have a wreck near there, although it was a frequent event when I was a small child. I've been recently. The building is a dump. The food was delicious, and they have a phone now, and computers. My mother was actually crushed to learn that they had so thoroughly embraced connectivity, technology and marketing.

monavano Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 y.b. flatbread. I love when I get inspired eating in a restaurant. Mr. MV and I ate at y.b. (younger brother) in Cape May, NJ a couple days ago, and ordered this flatbread. Basically, pesto (I used last year's stinging nettle pesto), chorizo (I had sweet Italian sausage), caramelized onions, swiss cheese, gorgonzola cheese, Blue Ridge mozzarella (because I had it on hand and have to use it), and a Sriracha mayo sauce, using mayo, sriracha, capers, caper juice and roasted garlic. It's really the Sriracha mayo that clinches this. Must. Use. More. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMatt Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Just had a couple bits of farmers market items for dinner. First, some Lemon Rosemary Bread from Bonaparte with my salmon.

Pat Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Liverwurst spread on Triscuits. The dip/spread recipe is from The James Beard Cookbook. I forgot to put the onion in but didn't realize it at first because I could taste a slight onion flavor from the composition of the liverwurst I used. (Final ingredient on the package: onion powder.) The grated onion might have been overkill anyway (I'm telling myself). The spread is very good, extra onion or no. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
