What's for Dinner, Thursday, July 7, 2022

[NJCher]

Shrimp and vegetable stir fry with homemade brown sauce. It has chicken broth, soy, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, agave, white pepper, garlic, and ginger. I love this stir fry sauce, which also goes by the name of "brown garlic sauce."

Serving this over udon noodles. The veggies are peppers, asparagus, broccoli, carrots. Scallions.

Dessert: watermelon smoothie.

1. Beer battered fish fillets

with crinkle cut fries and hushpuppies and malt vinegar.

Scratch that, not turning on the oven to 400F when it's 113 with heat index. Having burgers, fries cooked in the toaster oven.

5. I spray the inside of the foil w/ cooking spray

cut up the cauliflower in bite-sized pieces and add some slivers of butter, maybe some lemon zest or Mrs. Dash seasoning. And fold it all up into a pouch and throw it on the grill for 7 or 8 minutes, flipping half-way through.

I saw America's Test Kitchen do something similar w/ broccoli, and decided to try it w/ cauliflower. It's good.

I LOVE cauliflower. It's a shame that it has no color to add to a dinner plate. Sometimes when I serve it, I make sure to have sweet potato instead of white/yellow potato. Sometimes I turn the cauliflower into rice and serve it "confetti" style--with finely diced veggies and aromatics (carrots, peppers, broccoli, etc...)

6. I love cauliflower too

When I want color for serving guests, I'll get one of those orange or purple heads. Sometimes they're the same price as the regular white ones.

7. Pork chop

fried with pepper and Larry the Cable Guy brand pork seasoning rubbed on both sides.

Air-fryer brussels sprouts drizzled with balsamic

8. Ethiopian out of the pantry

I make large batches of stuff and pressure-can extra whenever I can. This is really spicy red lentils (1 recipe) and milder split peas (2nd recipe). In a different culture, they'd be called dals.

I have to serve them over rice, though. I tried making the injera griddle bread once and it looked like an alien had thrown up on the griddle. I have to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Too thick? Too thin? I had the right flour and it fermented well, if taste is any indication. Very frustrating.

Oh, well - payday is tomorrow.
