What did you cook/eat today (July 2017)?

[Francesca]

I had leftover puff pastry roll, 1 slice of cooked ham and tomato sauce. Well, I made muffin pizza....and also a sort of grissini..
Not bad as starter. Tomorrow we'll have my best friend to lunch, so, I think it could be a nice idea.

Lots of cooking today. I've had a houseful of teens.

Pancakes for brekky
Pumpkin risotto for lunch
Pasta al forno - ragu & shells topped with a 4 cheese mixture that was mainly ricotta.


Then to finally use up the last of the eggplants I made baba ganoush.

Big fan of Babaghanouj .. Simply wonderful. I like to prepare the Egyptian style and / or the Greek / or the Lebanese way ..

Each varies a bit, in how much garlic, lemon Juice, tahine and garnish one employs ..

Some use fresh minced mint leaf and others fresh minced parsely ..

Have a nice weekend .. Thanks for posting ..

I think they are called "cipollotti" in Italy. But the most famous red onions are Cipolle rosse di Tropea ( from Calabria) and they are really fantastic.

@MypinchofItaly

Cipollotti / Calçats ..

Yes, I have had them in Calabria quite a number of years ago ..

All outstanding !!

One of my favourite dips. I discovered that you can make something similar with courgettes (zucchini) - so easy!:
Smoky Courgette Dip

I've been on a cruise from New Orleans to various points in Mexico, and haven't had internet access. I've eaten some amazing food. You'd think this would mean that I'd have a lot of great pictures. But, there was also a lot of alcohol consumed on this vacation, so much of it is lost to history. So, I will share last night's meal: lobster and filet. Two more days in New Orleans, so I may be posting more pics. But, I also suspect there will be more alcohol, so no promises.

Fabulous! Jealous...

Well it was going to be beans and cornbread, but it will now be smoked sausage.
Someone overslept and didn't get the beans started.

Tonight was pork chops. Waterbath for 4 hours at 56.5 deg C, finished by searing in a hot skillet and a bit of help from a blowtorch. Served on mashed Cyprus new potatoes with carrots, a cider and mustard sauce, pear puree and parsnip and parmesan chips. I need to improve my presentation skills. Or my Photoshop skills.

 

[Cinisajoy]

Looks good to me.

Our last night in Iceland, my meal was langoustine sandwich. Langousines, mushrooms and cheese in a roll served with garlic aioli and curly fries, scrummy.

I stopped by a Greek American diner last night and got lamb shanks nestled in tomato and veggie orzo.

 

[Rocklobster]

Roasted veggies,(sweet potato, red pepper, red onion, wild garlic, carrot) and threw in some Cod for the last 15 minutes

 

[buckytom]

Hey, Rock. T'sup?
