IMO, of course. Just sharing.
Mushroom "Ravioli" with Gorgonzola Sauce. The plan was to use up some spring roll wrappers. Filling: Chopped mushrooms sauteed with shallots, seasoned with lemon juice, parmesan, thyme, S&P. Sauce: Finely chopped onions, white wine, cream, gorgonzola melted in. However, the damned wrappers wouldn't stick closed despite the egg wash glue! Plan B: make rolls, put in casserole dish, spread sauce on top and bake until wrappers softened in the sauce. And it worked. Quite well. Warm Salad Nicoise Had half a large can of crushed tomatoes and a half bunch of basil to use up, so: Base: Cooked sliced red potatoes and green beans, layered with fresh basil leaves. Sauce: the crushed tomatoes cooked in a bit of olive oil, with a couple of crushed anchovies and some capers mixed in. The whole thing topped with anchovy filets, sliced hard-boiled eggs, ripe olives and a can of good tuna. Pan-Fried Marinated White Fish with Tomato, Peppers (green and red and yellow - lots!), Onions, Olives, and Capers. From Bon Appetit, March 2011, page 16. Outstanding, IMO! Moussaka, per Claudia Roden, _New Book of Middle Eastern Cooking_, with some spicing hints from Jeff Smith's _Three Ancient Cuisines_. I'm not a bit fan of eggplant, but this stuff is great! Algerian Chicken Basically, chicken pieces oven-baked in a tomato sauce that includes onions, bell peppers, hot chiles, and ... peanut butter. Been a favorite for years. Green Beans and Eggs A simple Mexican dish consisting of nothing more than cooked green beans and scrambled eggs with some sauteed onions and queso on top. Surprised me by how good it was, with some bean and cheese quesadillas to go with it. And one disappointment, with an old lesson: I made a big pot of chili. With old dried beans that didn't reconstitute well at all. By the time they were edible, the chili was cooked to tasteless gruel - I tossed it all in the compost. The lesson, obviously: Either use relatively fresh dried beans or cook old ones separately and thoroughly after soaking, before using them in a dish. -- Silvar Beitel |
