What did you cook or eat today (April 2023)?

[The OMWC]

Chicken wings I rubbed, smoked and then flash fried. The tongs made these look ugly. View attachment 98859

I have the same plates!

Sunday roast today, don't have them very often these days. Roast beef with weapons grade roasties.

Is that Yorkshire pudding?

Is that Yorkshire pudding?

Certainly is, the lighting makes it look paler than it was.

What's broccoli rabe? We call it tenderstem.

The OMWC OOHHH!!! TWO non-picky eaters, well!
And I'd take the pizza any day and twice on Sunday, heh! Today is Sunday!!!

I think tenderstem is closer to what we call broccolini. Broccoli rabe is closer to a mustard or collard green.

oh, and The OMWC what did you think once you looked up Lau Lau?
I could have it overnighted to us as well, but it costs more for the postage than the product!
I'll wait until we make it either to California or Las Vegas, where I can get them frozen, rather fresh like last nights dinner, but beggars can't be choosers.

+1, what he said
Broccoli Rabe or Rapini
v
Broccolini or tenderstem in the UK, I believe they call them, at least the You Tube channel of a bunch of Brits call it that.

Both to me are excellent!

As a life long vegetarian, I think I'll pass.

OK, say it, I know you're thinking it. "You may not ever call someone else a picky eater!"

 

[kaneohegirlinaz]

The OMWC you could make vegetarian Luau I'd think.
Why yes you can!
Spinach Luau
I knew I had eaten this before, loved Down To Earth back in the day.
<edit: I forgot to mention that "Luau" is made usually with Taro Leaves, but I can't get those here in Cowboyville>

I can likely get taro leaves when I'm next in Buffalo... the first recipes I found used a fish and pork mix wrapped in leaves, which made me think, "Yeaaaaaah, no." Your linked recipe looks more like a soup?

 

[kaneohegirlinaz]

The OMWC it can be as "soupy" as you like.
I prefer it more on the thicker side, as sort of a side dish.
WOW!
Man, if you can get Taro Leaves, try the Luau.

Could you use banana leaves? They basically serve the same purpose, to seal in moisture and flavor. We can get them frozen in the ethnic part of the regular grocery freezer section, or fresh in the bigger Latin markets, which you don't have of course.
