What did I cook this weekend.....

[Robert65]

Well, I was sure this was March 69th, but apparently it's really May, because the ramps are here! Yay, ramps!

Potato, ramp, and bacon frittata.

Nice supper, will make a nice cold lunch tomorrow.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Juicy boneless pork loin chop, yam and broccol.

HB Quad and a 20oz Waygu, bone-in ribeye. I'm pretty excited at the prospect. I'll let it rest with salt and pepper for an hour or two at room temp. I'll grill it to MR. I should be able to eat the whole thing.

 

[OleBrewing]

Reversed seared smoked Ribeye.

Breakfast and dinner.

 

[OleBrewing]

I would show the wife's shrimp but it's shrimp. Shown bacon wrapped asparagus tenderloin and potatoes carrots. I can eat asparagus raw but cooked with bacon

Eggs bennie and mimosa brunch.

Dinner was something new. I don't cook much sweet and savory, but glad I did tonight.

Pork tenderloin stuffed with roasted garlic, sage, gorgonzola, and bourbon-infused figs. Drizzled with a glaze made from the fig-infused bourbon, maple syrup, and balsamic.

Served with creamy parmesan polenta and Brussels sprouts glazed with balsamic and multiberry mead reduction, topped with gorgonzola.

Made chilli with about 70% ground beef and 30% semi cured chorizo. Pretty hard item to find outside of specialty markets. Not quite the same as Spanish hard chorizo either. Its much drier than raw Mexican chorizo but will crumble if removed from the casing. Our market just calls it chorizo seco. 50/50 pintos and Peruano beans.

Forgot to take a picture, but made kafta kabobs with ground lamb and plenty of good seasonings, cooked on the cast iron grill over a hot flame, served up with homemade tzatziki and feta cheese in lettuce wrapper leaves. Sliced avocado on the side, although I put some of mine into the wrapper with the kabob and sauce and feta. DANG GOOD STUFF! Inspired by the latest Diners, Drive-ins and Dives where Guy Fieri is having some of his chef buddies send him the ingredients and then walk him through the dish.

Another chilly day here in the northeast, so I roasted a chicken, served with sweet potato and peas with pearl onions.

 

[CxRxExAxM]

Broke in the new pizza stone.

Pesto, pulled mozzarella, oven dried tomato, red onion on one

Plain cheese for the other

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Hubby’s plate with a couple beer brats, mash and sautéd cabbage onion and carrots.

 

[TwistedGray]

West Virginia deer from the parents - s and p, corn starch, and some steak seasoning does the trick alongside mushrooms and onions. Hands down the best deer I've made to-date.

Upside down blueberry and lemon olive oil cannacake (get you going for a few hours)

Salmon in brown lemon butter with broccolini

 

[Temptd2]

I grilled some 2" thick loin lamb chops from Costco last night, served up with homemade tzatziki and a Greek salad with green leaf lettuce, feta cheese, Kalamata olives, diced red onion, and a pepperoncini on the side - homemade Greek vinaigrette. Dug into it all way too fast to get a picture, sadly!

 

[TwistedGray]

Chicken stir fry tonight and a 12hr butt for tomorrow (smoked with pecan)

 

[Staestc]

Getting ready to do some ribs and beans to go with.

Those cowboy beans look familiar; we're trying to grow some this year.

 

[Elkobrewer]

Hope this turns out good.

Everything with bacon turns out good!

 

[TwistedGray]

That'll work

 

[Temptd2]

Looks gorgeous, @Elkobrewer - I'm sure it was great! I love those things - any number of versions of it.

 

[user 211287]

3 ingredient peanut butter cookies with a praline on top.

 

[user 211287]

Frijoles refritos con chorizo seca, rice and cheeps. A little Green Mountain Gringo salsa and Aleppo pepper on top too.

 

[Rodent]

dry-rubbed Pork Butt smoked with Apple wood and scalloped taters was the mains on Sat night

 

[S-Met]

Black chicken & fresh ho-made tofu soup.

Basic simple cure-all soup. Chicken, salt, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, garlic. Served with a fresh squeeze of lime and pepper sauce.

I get the heads and feet .

That looks tasty AND scary.

 

[TwistedGray]

Welp, since the wife is already deadset on getting a Transylvanian Naked Neck chicken we might as well get a black one, too @S-Met.

 

[Temptd2]

If you brought that to the table and set it before me I'd be aghast! LOL!

Wow, interesting-looking birds. Is the meat any different than your average chicken? Also black??
