lperry Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Porcini risotto topped with a shiitake/crimini "marmalade" made with shallots, red wine, balsamic, and agave nectar. Cipollini onions braised in the same red wine mixture. Romaine salad with radishes in an herb vinaigrette. Whole wheat toast (bread from Caboose) with chêvre. Mr. lperry loved the onions, but I'm not sure I'm an "onions as a side dish" person. They were overwhelming to me somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lperry Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Sounds delicious! Could you post the recipes for the risotto and topping and the herb vinaigrette? Thanks - it was pretty good, and I apologize in advance because I didn't really use recipes. The mushroom marmalade idea is originally from here. I use agave nectar or honey instead of sugar, don't finish with butter (I use just enough to sauté) and don't add the garlic. I also like it better with a higher red wine to vinegar ratio. The risotto I made tonight was just a basic one with white wine, shallots, and dried porcini. The herb vinaigrette is walnut oil, herb vinegar that Mr. lperry brought back from somewhere, Dijon mustard, and a smidge of honey to balance the vinegar. It all goes into the bowl, gets whisked together, and then I throw in the greens to toss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bettyjoan Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Egg tagliatelle with bolognese Garlic toast So, I'm trying something new - an entire week of meals from an episode of Rachael Ray's "Week in a Day" show (on Cooking Channel). Basically, she shows you 5 meals that you can cook (or at least par-cook) on Sunday so you can have dinners that are easy to prepare on busy nights. My husband and I have been so crazy lately that I figured what the hell. The bolognese was actually quite good - nice and thick and meaty. I made a double batch (as was suggested during the show) and froze some servings for a future use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bettyjoan Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Rachael Ray's "Week in a Day," meal #2... Beer-braised chicken thighs (in a spicy tomato-pepper sauce) Couscous Chicken thighs are definitely the way to my heart. I hate to admit it, but the RR meals have been tasty so far, AND it's been a dream to be able to reheat (instead of full-on COOK) after long days at the office.

zoramargolis Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 charcoal grilled yogurt-marinated eco-friendly goat rib chops mujaddara (a mixture of basmati rice, French lentils, and caramelized onions) topped with spiced yogurt (cinnamon, cumin, coriander, aleppo pepper, chopped fresh mint, lemon zest and juice) pan roasted carrots with butter, honey and cumin tzatziki 2006 Flavium bierzo mujaddara ROCKS! I can't begin to tell you how delicious and satisfying this dish is. (We each had three teeny-tiny rib chops, about two bites each, so the meat was almost a condiment on the plate.) the spiced yogurt topping is a bit labor-intensive, otherwise the hardest thing about the mujaddara was baby-sitting the sliced onions while they slowly caramelized, which took about a half-hour. The French lentils were from Trader Joe's, The basmati almost cooks itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 That sounds interesting. What sort of green chiles did you use? And what sort of cheese? I was following a recipe that called for canned chilies and Parmesan and extra sharp cheddar. The only extra sharp cheddar I had was Giant brand, so that was not too distinguished, but I used Parmigiano-Reggiano and canned Hatch brand chilies. I don't remember the heat level on them and the can's already out with the recycling. If I make this again, I'll use some of the Hatch/NM chilies from my freezer and a better quality cheddar.

I made the mac and cheese with ziti, and with panko instead of fresh breadcrumbs, but otherwise pretty much as written. Made about half the recipe amount, but used a full 4-oz can of green chiles, because I didn't want to deal with the unused portion, and that worked out fine. Very, very good.

Anna Blume Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I owe Iliane as well as Hunter/Engineer/Uncle Marty for two delicious dinners in a row: Venison medallions encrusted w juniper, pepper and thyme (Sauce: white wine, more crushed juniper berries, chicken demi-stock vs. veal and cream) Mash of rutabaga, Emily's turnips & potato Green Wave w garlic 1 inch thick, cooked in 2 minutes each side, perfect and tender. Had a 15 oz. backstrap vs. 1.5 lbs. as formerly reported, so enough for 3 meals. Second, tonight w same sides, latter expanded w spinach and green garlic. This time w morel sauce, no cream. (Dried morels are $239.99 a lb. at WFM!!) Meat withstood a brief reheat; still tender. ****************** Lperry, if you're still reading: have you ever seen Peter Berley's cookbooks?

bettyjoan Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 This weekend, we had Rachael Ray's "Week in a Day," meals #4 and #5. Friday - Lamb and orzo stuffed peppers with a homemade tomato sauce and goat cheese Sunday - Tomato and garlic puttanesca (over egg pappardelle) The stuffed peppers were awesome - super flavorful, and the peppers maintained a great texture despite being steamed, cooled/stored, and then reheated. The puttanesca was meh - it was the one thing that seemed to get LESS flavorful as it sat in the fridge. Oh, well - 4 out of 5 ain't bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
