What's cookin', good lookin'? Part II

[seela]

Keep it simple. Scrambled eggs with cheese are great for hot sauce. Add a small side salad and it's perfect.

Well I made more tacos.

I still have some sauce left, maybe I'll try an omelet or something with it.

Granny Smith. Two apples for 200g of cabbage. Walnuts if you like or toasted hazelnuts. Dressed with 1tbsp olive oil, 1tsp dijon, 1 tsp apple cider vinegar, salt and pepper made like a mayonnaise.

I so wish we had a place like yours. We had a taco place that was heaven for a while. The guy whu ran it is a serial restaurateur though, so we’ll have to see what great stuff he turns up with next.

Thanks! I'll add that to the list of recipes to try.

You lost a nice taco place on top of losing the nice sushi place? Oh no. I hope he'll come up with something interesting soon!

And on the same block.
I think he’ll wait until things turn back to something more normal.

The sushi place was restructured by some of the people that worked in the old place. It’s quite good but not world class fished them myself yumminess.

It’s actually the same thing driving these guys - when they don’t feel they can be creative anymore they move on.
I respect that a lot but it’s still sad.
We had a family friend who did the same thing in the 80s and 90s, but in one of the big european capitals. He sold the old place when he moved on. That’s not going to work in a smaller place though.

Kippers?

I thought you were landlocked?

These sweet potato taquitos are great for dipping. I love them, even though I’m not big on frying stuff.

Is that with cheese or alla romana? Looks great!

It was the swedish national day sunday and we had talked about classical swedish dishes. We narrowed it down to two and had one of them yesterday instead.
So we had matjes with new potatoes and sour cream sunday and potato pankake monday.

Slightly Vietnamese inspired noodle salad with chicken-of-the-forest.

I've found a spot where chicken-of-the-forest grows about five years ago already, but I've never been there at the right time. Either it's all been picked already or it's been too big to be pleasant to eat anymore. Now! Finally! It was very chickeny. A new notch to my mushroom belt.

Chickpea pasta. Tasted like sadness. Possibly one of the worst meals I’ve made this year.

Is the pasta actually made of chickpeas, or was it pasta with some version of chickpeas? Either way, I'm sorry for your meal ... I hate it when I cook awful food. (I think back on stuff I used to cook 20 or 30 years ago sometimes and think 'how the hell did other people not only eat that muck, but also tell me I was a good cook?').

It was pasta made entirely of chickpeas. Never again!

I think we have all probably made some awful stuff when first starting out. I have memories like that, too. Made me laugh thinking of some of them.

Ugh. That's just wrong. Chickpeas are awesome, but they need to know their place, and their place is not in pasta.
I tried making humus the other night with probably half the amount of olive oil I'd normally use, because diet. It's not great - I'll probably just end up stirring more oil into it.

I had a chick pee once and she definitely knew her place.

Oh, sorry, wrong thread.

The original recipe is with goat cheese or robiola cheese, egg yolks, all purpose flour, salt, grated Parmigiano for topping.

I used half ricotta (I wanted them lighter) and half robiola. I also added some melted butter together with grated Parmigiano for topping. They were very good also 2-3 days after (I had some leftovers), re-heated with a bit of butter on a cooking pan.

That sounds so good!

We had barbecue chicken, poblano potato salad and guacamole.

I was just telling Fara today how much I love potato salad. I usually go for potato and octopus, or just a simple one with olive oil, parsley and a bit of lemon juice.

How do you made yours? I would like to try something new.

This was us trying something new.
The recipe is from the same Jonas Cramby (a favourite here), who made the recipe for the chicken:
http://www.google.se/amp/s/www.organicauthority.com/.amp/organic-food-recipes/legs-of-fire-barbecue-chicken-recipe

Poblano potato salad
1 kg new potatoes or small redskinned patatoes
2-3 tbsp oil
1 garlic
2 big poblano chilis or substitute one of those pointy sweet red peppers and one large red spanish pepper chili
2 tbsp mayo
4 green onions
Chopped parsley
Chopped cilantro

Roast the potatoes in oil in the oven 200°C.
Blacken the chilis and the garlic on the grill. Peel them and blitz with mayo. Salt to taste.
When the potatoes are done, dress them with mayo and chopped green onions, parsley and cilantro.

Our go to potato salads are with red onions and vinaigrette or with sugar snaps, radishes and a dijon vinaigrette.

Thank you very much.
This sounds delicious. All ingredients I love. Mayo less so but I rarely use it, so once in awhile it's cool. I never thought to bake the potatoes for salad. Very interesting.

Duck breasts with savory caramel sauce, plus potatoes cooked in duck fat (+ veggies).

The sauce was an experiment, first time trying out that recipe. I cooked it a bit too long and it ended up a little too caramelised, starting to form little whiskers, but it tasted pretty good. Partner declared it a success.

Ooh, that sounds great!

We had a warm weather weekend with temperatures above 30°C. This is way above the norm here, especially in june, so noone wants to hang out in the kitchen more than necessary. We have had mostly salads and sandwiches.
On friday, we did a greek theme for a family celebration, with grilled lamb, greek salad, tzatziki and retsina. We had baklava for dessert.

Braised/slow cooked beef cheeks! OK, I know they probably sound disgusting if you're not into eating offal, but OMG, so good. With a puree of cauli and leek, and some broccoli sort of braised with garlic and a little chicken stock. So much beefy goodness. And so economical!

I love it but have only had it at restaurants. It’s not a cut that is easy to find.
