Artichoke and Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta

http://images.media-allrecipes.com/userphotos/140x140/00/01/91/19128.jpg

I made this several times this summer - It's really easy and liked by all.

Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) package fresh fettuccine

4 tablespoons butter
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1 (8 ounce) package sliced mushrooms
3 cloves garlic, crushed
2/3 (8 ounce) jar sun-dried tomatoes, packed in oil
1 (2 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained
10 ounces marinated artichoke hearts
1 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 ripe tomato, chopped
1 cup Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon black pepper
Directions

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring it to a rolling boil.

While the water is heating, melt the butter over medium heat in a large saucepan. Add the onions, mushrooms, and garlic; cook and stir until tender, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, olives, artichoke hearts, wine, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil; reduce the heat and simmer until liquid is reduced by a third, about 4 minutes.

Cook the fresh pasta in boiling water until done, about 2 minutes. Drain.
Toss pasta with sauce. Top with fresh tomatoes and cheese, add pepper to taste, and serve.

There's a wings and wienies here where I can get Sahlen's, but no TRH sauce. I am so with you about Tabasco.

If you google "Charlie the Butcher" and weck, there's a nice recipe on how to turn a hardroll into a weck. It's a reasonable facsimile.

No jus????? WTF, Over? Do I need to go there with my pet Buffalo and kick some ass?

You know where my favorite beef on 'weck is?

Top of the Falls restaurant. Great view, good fries, and a very good sandwich. Service is usually great too.



Bring the buffalo. But trust me, when you see the girls they hire to serve them, you will change your mind. They could serve you a melted cheese on a farmer's dirty boot and you'd smile and say, "Thank you."

Schwabl's is the Jack Bauer and Chuck Norris of Beef on Weck.

Well, then that's what I'd have to order. Don't fuck with the wings.

A former litster writes...Pork Butt Rub made these chops extra yummy tonight. Seasoned and let sit for 20 minutes, cooked them over low flame on the grill, brushed with sauce and finished in the oven. Tender, juicy, and oh so delicious.

Oh, ABG! I've been dying for some sushi lately! My favourite place downtown makes these amazing sweet potato tempura sushi rolls- they're sweet and crunchy and soo delicious! *tummy rumbles*

Two hard-boiled eggs and toast for breakfast are just not going to satisfy me this morning

Sweet Potato Tempura Sushi Rolls = Heaven

At least you have your protein in today. I had a green protein shake before my run. It's the nastiest thing ever. I don't think I'll have anymore of it. Trying to be healthy is crappy.

 

[BradBigBrain]

Try this recipe on any of the lesser cuts of meat - chuck steak, flank steak or London Broil. The key is the marinade. Let it sit for at least 8 hours, preferable overnight.


Ingredients:
• 3 or 4 pound Flank Steak
• Marinade consisting of:
o 1 ounce (1 packet) of Dry Steak Seasoning
o ¾ cup cider vinegar
o ¼ cup water
o ¼ cup olive oil
Method:
1. In a mixing bowl mix together the seasoning, vinegar and water.
2. Add oil and mix well.
3. Put steak in a large (gallon size) ziplock bag. Pour marinade over the steak.
4. Refrigerate and let marinade overnight (or at least 8 hours)
5. Grill on low temperature (between 200 and 250) for at least an hour or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.
6. Let sit for 5 minutes before slicing. Slice with the grain and on a slight angle.

Yellow fin blackened tuna

Let tuna sit out for a few mins so it's not straight from fridge. There isn't much cooking time and cold rare tuna with a hot crust is kind of odd.

So turn stove on high and let pan heat up. Make a good crust of blackening season on one side of tuna. When pans hot, put in some olive oil. Put tuna in seasoning side down til it's seared and crusty. Season other side and flip over and sear. Tuna should be very rare.


Serve immediately.

Optional: mix 1/8 cup of soy sauce, a teaspoon of rice wine vinegar, and a dash of sesame oil.

Dip tuna in and eat.
