What did I cook this weekend.....

[corkybstewart]

Believe it or not, right at my neighborhood Fred Meyers. I was in there and noticed they had Hatch peppers for sale in little 2 or 3 lb bags. I asked the produce guy if they had more in the back and he asked me if I wanted a whole case. I said, "you know it". I was actually shopping online and was gonna order some from NM. With shipping a case woulda cost me close to $90. I got this one for $30 something. My families spice tolerance is a bit low so I had to get the milds.

When we lived in southeasterrn NM there was a family farm 30 minutes away that grew by far the best chiles I've ever eaten-better than Hatch, or the Espanola chile we got in college. But they closed down because the owners retired and the kids were all doctors or engineers and wanted nothing to do with farming. At Haldeman Farms you told them what you wanted, and some workers drove out to the field and picked it. For a few extra bucks they roasted it so all i had to do was package it. We're only 1.5 hours from Hatch and the chile is obviously excellent but we don't have the connection we did with the Haldeman family. They had a variety of fruit and produce, something was available almost year round.
I grow Cayennes in my garden in France, and we can get some moderately hot Moroccan green chile at the grocery stores. Next year I'll plant NM seeds in a hot box in early spring to lengthen the growing season, maybe it will work.

Mmmmm Hatch chile season is upon us! Love them. We're in AZ so have good access at every grocery store in town, including Walmart. We might try growing some next year. We're already been roasting/peeling/fermenting them. Nothing better on a cheeseburger!

As far as I’m concerned there are two types of people in this world. One who truly enjoy the magnificent green Chile and the other who were born without taste buds.

That is one of my favorite meals. Are those potato and cheese pierogi? Love cabbage pierogi too. Wish we had a good Polish deli near by. I usually make my own. Just pulled a head of cabbage out of the garden. Planning some haluski this week with some homemade kielbasa.

Did ribs earlier this week

 

[TwistedGray]

Butter, crema blanca, a heap of garlic, and serranos from the garden

These were potato and onion and unfortunately they were just meh, and overpriced. As in even though my homemade pierogi have been a little hit or miss over the years at this price and quality I might as well make them. Your dinner plans sound wonderful.

Time to gamble

Yesterday, I stuffed a pork loin with cream cheese, spinach , sauté onion and mushrooms, topped with mozzarella Cheese and rolled up for 1 1/2 hrs at 250 on the pellet grill. Mashed potatoes on the side, simply awesome.

Thanks to @VApatriot
For the recipe link. Ours wasn’t as pretty. I think we used a smaller pie pan so the peaches weren’t visible. I also threw an audible by adding some blackberries that I picked along my bike ride this morning. The pie turned out absolutely delicious and pretty damn easy to make.

Our local Italian deli makes a “foooogetttaaaa bout ittt!” Sando so I tried to imitate it tonight. Season Parm cutlet, mayo, balsamic glaze, oil oil, red wine vinegar, arugula, fresh motz (broiled) , spicy salami, and prosciutto.

 

[Oldskewl]

Well....I ended up making marinated salmon(instead of my homemade keilbasa) to go with my haluski(noodles, fried onion & cabbage). Wanted to use up one of the cabbage I harvested from the garden. Both turned out excellent.

Ribeye cheesesteak on my new griddle

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Brat with homemade sauerkraut and German mustard on pretzel bun.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

I broke do own a whole chicken and grilled it.

Served with leftover pierogi fried with onion and there was salad. The back made a nice clear stock.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Saturday I prepared mahi filets, mushroom polenta and sautéed seasonal veggies.

Top sirloin, broccoli and a baked tater for Sunday dinner.

 

[TwistedGray]

Halibut crudo

 

[TwistedGray]

I really should've work gloves, hands on fire...stew is good though

 

[Temptd2]

Chili verde de cerdo I presume? I'm anxious for some cooler temps here so I can make some of that! . We've had a few sub-100 highs recently which means fall is on the way - I hope!

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Stupidly sized marrow bones. What, don’t you have a band saw in your kitchen?

Marrow on bread with salad and very saucy lasagna with 2 meat layers and one with mushrooms and eggplant.

(Northern)Swedish specialty, glorious palt!

 

[BongoYodeler]

Grilled burgers this evening for dinner.
Ground and seasoned tri tip with cheddar, fresh tomato, pickles, ketchup, on a toasted bun. Served with chips and a slice of watermelon.

 

[OleBrewing]

Local raised lamb. Probably only good thing about Facebook is the farm to table group. Garden veggies were good also. Well mushrooms were store bought

All set up to do a low country boil for late afternoon meal. Pretty standard ingredients:
Red potatoes
Corn on the cob
Kielbasa and andouille sausage
Shrimp

Then a little onion, lemon, and Old Bay seasoning, and a beer in the boil juice.

Fired up the grill today to cook some baby back ribs, served with a green salad and potato salad.
