We made pappardelle with vegetables and pesto tonight. Most of the vegetables are from the garden (celery, beans, peas, bok choi, pepper) and the pasta is fresh and locally made. The pesto is homemade from last summer (frozen).

We bought an onion at the farmers market at bacon & tomatoes at the store. It's almost vegetarian, but not quite.
 
Almond crusted haddock sautéed in olive oil and a nob of butter with sofrito rice and carrots.

Looks great to me! Why the aversion to tahini? I put it in all my hummus recipes.

I don't know why, but I hate that taste. It's like peanut butter, which I like but not in my dinner. I can only make hummus, never buy it, for that reason.

Anyway, the recipe is there, try it out. Add tahini if you like. I'm making some more tomorrow. It's my lunchtime snack.

I mostly agree, though I still put a little in mine. I kept adjusting to taste until I decided that I just wanted a bit of it. Most recipes seem to have an awful lot. Maybe I'll try it without. My favorite local one is Yummies Choice. This guy makes a bunch of great stuff. I'd guess that his doesn't have quite that much tahini but it's been awhile since I've had it.

I prefer his Baba Ghanoush over everything though. That stuff is awesome.
 
Neua Naam Tok (Thai "waterfall" beef). Skirt steak, mint, red onion, cilantro, lemon grass, and chilies; with a sauce of soy, fish sauce, chile powder, honey, beef stock, and lime juice. Sprinkled with Khao Khua (toasted sticky rice powder). If you haven't cooked with Khao Khua, you haven't cooked Thai. :)

... and... I know what I'm making this wkend!!!

Wish I could beam you these little eggplants from my garden. What do you think is a good way to prepare the eggplant for baba ganoush?

I think i have eaten tahini out of a spoon, but I got no problem with leaving it out. I would be thrilled to have a plate that humus sitting in front of me. I used to eat a lot of powdered hummus in college, it had a unique odor that my friends decided they would beat me if they had to smell again.
 
I like stuffing cubanella peppers with loose Italian sausage & shredded cheese, then bake in marinara sauce till just tender. My wife has been downloading cookbooks to the Kindle device we bought her, & this meatloaf recipe had a really nice topping sauce for it. It's made from chopped pineapple & juice, ketchup & soy sauce. Baked on top, it comes out tasting much like this fruit chutney sauce I first encountered at Riverfest at the old Lorain Port authority mentioned in one of my The Driver's Eye videos. This black lady & her husband put it on the ribs & chicken they barbecued on the spot. I'll have to get the exact recipe from her. I've got to play with this one in the pit! :rockin:
 
Pork chops browned & simmered in mushroom soup, layered with onions & sliced mushrooms. Southern style mustard greens on the side.
 
Looks like another Spatchcocked Chicken, brined and smoked this weekend. Also the family has voted a grilled pizza again, so we need to get some ingredients decided on that.

Maybe I'll stop at home at lunch and mix up the dough for later.
 
Chopped up a 5 lb pork shoulder last night to make a big batch of Bockwurst sausages tonight. Ill post pics once complete!
 
Gotta gather the ingredients to make our first batch of sausage, now that we have minimal equipment to do so. Hungarian maybe, with a 50/50 mix of hot Hungarian paprika & smoked paprika?

Italian is a good first sausage I think.

I have a hungarian sausage shop (literally) near me. They make the best sausage - they sell it at the street festivals. I've tried to make my own and not as good.

The best sausage I make is smoked andouille. It's just killer.
