Sounds great. I might go there for lunch or dinner tomorrow. I think I'd probably have the tomato on the side, though, with some lettuce in the sandwich (except that I haven't got any lettuce).

thistle Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I saw this sausage grilled in peppers on 'Luke Nguyen's Greater Mekong' the other day, & wanted to do that for dinner tonight, but despite going to 2 stores (commissary & Costco), didn't see ground pork, Ithought about subbing ground turkey, but since I'm cooking for a limited audience, wussed out, & used leftover frozen pulled pork BBQ in grilled poblano peppers, some of those peppers were quite spicy-pickled cukes on the side, not really a composed meal, but I also made sort of a quiche earlier w/ eggs, collards, cheese-cottage & Swiss, sour cream (trying to use up the Costco sized sour cream), paprika, s&p-it turned out pretty good, especially topped w/ some salsa. I'm taking inspiration from 'Chopped' & cooking from the fridge & pantry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundae in the Park Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 We've been making stir-fried rice cakes/ovalettes quite a lot, with shitakes, pea pods (or other greens), and meat in a basic brown sauce, and had it again last night. Probably our new favorite meal. It pays to track down favorite childhood recipes! It's a great rice noodle product to use when you can't get fresh rice noodles.

monavano Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 CI's Peruvian Chicken with green sauce. Delicious and moist. A must-try at home if you like the offerings we get around here. I cheated with the sauce a bit by starting with Duke's mayo instead of using egg and oil. I think the pickled jalepenos and good old yellow mustard are brilliant. The CI method uses the Norpro vertical roaster. Well worth the $25 or so. The chicken is baked at 350 for 50 min., then is taken out of the oven while it heats up to 500, when the chicken is returned to the oven for another 20 min. The top of the chicken tends to get burned by the heat, but tenting with foil mitigates this problem completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweaked Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Tempeh Kabobs served over mushroom rice pilaf with heirloom tomatoes, avocado, tahini, pita. Used Joe Yonan's recipe from last week's Wash Post. I gave all the marinade ingredients a quick whirl in the miniprep, marinated the tempeh for 12 hours, used the grilled under the broiler method, about 5 minutes a side. I skipped the minty cilantro lime sauce since I had some tahini dressing kick around in the fridge. This is a really tasty way to cook up tempeh (which is something you don't hear often!)
