Re: What did you cook today?
Thanks -- it was a nice soup. Definitely happy to have squeezed it in before the weather warms up around here for good. And as much of a PITA as it is to drag out the vitamix after the stick blender (and then clean it later), it really takes things to the next level of creaminess. It's an excellent machine.

Woke up with leftover potatoes in the skillet, what to do?
Add some runny eggs and toast and behold, breakfast!...
Eggs and red onion fried in Cultured Ghee. The bread is sprouted spelt from Berlin Natural Bakery, an Amish bakery, it is so delicate and good tasting.

Choice Top Sirloin and yellow onion braised in an Adobo sauce, sea salted and pounded thin tenderized and slow cooked. Served with slow cooked in black clay pot “de la Hoya“ style Pinto beans topped with cheddar and tender nopalitos on the side and a Lamb Haas avocado from my friends grove and crema topped with a dash of Cayenne. Simple but this was one fantastic meal!

For dessert...
Alden's Premium Vanilla Ice Cream (sooo creamy) over fresh sliced mango and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Re: What did you cook today?
Spent a little time out by the grill tonight. Seasonably cold (mid 30's F) and a bit windy but I managed it . . .

I hope you like it. Claire also has a bunch of videos -- some making recipes from her books, some making additional recipes -- posted at her youtube channel, as well as the NYT youtube channel. I find them incredibly useful, especially used in conjunction with the books.

Re: What did you cook today?
Not the greatest menu planning but once the meat comes out of the freezer, it's pretty much failsafe. So today, as an encore to yesterday's beef, more beef. This time, some fairly aged (not in the good way) American wagyu strip steaks that we ended up not needing to cook yesterday after we thawed them . . .
Mise En Place & Yu Kurosaki Fujin AS Gyuto, 240mm
Russet potatoes, salt, old freezer wagyu strips, yellow onion and black pepper.
Love that marbling but you can tell from their dark color, these spent a little too much time in the freezer. They were pretty thin, so I pan-seared them and then, while they rested, I cooked the potatoes and the onions in the renderings (along with a touch of light olive oil) . . .
Plated Up
With a leftover sour cream & chive dinner roll and a blob of the weekly slaw.
Happy Monday!

Re: What did you cook today?
Lengua!
Painfully missing from my taco-meat repertoire was tongue. I had tongue at a festive dinner in Santiago forty years ago, and half-remembered it as oddly good.
Covid happened, and Walmart tongue doubled in price. Still, I sprang for one. The recipe is quite simple: onions, garlic, carrot, parsley, thyme, bay leaves … boil.
After three hours, I decided that it would be better if the tongue were cut into large chunks. With an evil swish, I drew the Sword and cut the meat lengthwise and crosswise. Another coupla hours at a slow simmer, and the meat was tender.
Once cool, I peeled and cleaned the meat of the stringy fatty parts. My local conspiracy of ravens dined well on my dross.
Today, I made a meal of mulitas de lengua. It’s an interesting meat: velvety texture and a hint of liver-gamy organ meat tang. I like!

Stir Fry tonight!
Got some nice filet and sliced it with my only yani, but not as consistent as I would like but...brocc and cauliflower went into chef mike for 1.5 mins to soften them up a bit. Sauce was kitchen sink sauce and a touch of tamarind powder. Beef cooked in two batches, then peppers/brussel sprouts with a bit of water to steam them, cauliflower and brocc in with sauce, covered a min or two then beef added back in. Served on a bed of Jasmine rice. Was pretty good.

Re: What did you cook today?
One of my favorites, especially on tacos, although I've never made it myself. Yours looks great and may have inspired me to give it a go. Tongue, the only meal you can cook that tastes you back!

We cook Lengua pretty much every week.
So you need to give it about an hour per pound. Hard simmer. Any veg and aromatics will be great. We use a pickling spice mix with our onion, carrot, parsley, celery etc.
Do not allow it to cool before peeling it will be a hard process. Wear gloves and it comes off quite easily.
We normally eat it the first day with Potato Latkes and red cabbage. Then second day cut into small chunks and quickly fry for tacos...oh baby! Any leftovers goes into a tongue sandwich with lots of mustard on rye bread!
Its really easy to find in Panama. We can even buy it from our local PriceSmart (Costco)...inexpensive (about $1.50/lb!!!) and oh so good!
Made this last week.....

Re: What did you cook today?
Bought some lovely Corvina from our local fish seller, Juan.
Cooked it up with some peppers, onions, parsley and garlic in a lemon, butter and wine sauce.
