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

[medtran49]

Chicken bulgogi over rice with onion and some leftover fresh shiitakes mixed in, with other banchan starting at 12 o'clock and going clockwise of water kimchi, carrot and daikon slaw, Korean macaroni salad, and bean sprout salad.

medtran49 "Luau" and "Lau Lau" two totally different dishes.
For the Lau Lau, yes, if you can get Taro Leaves you could create the Lau Lau and the final step of wrapping it in Ti Leaves could be sub'd for Banana Leaves, not quite the same flavor profile, but I do that with my Kalua Pork.
As to Luau, this is made only with Taro Leaves (or sometimes referred to in Hawaii as Luau Leaves) and then the flavorings, into for lack of a better term, a stew. Usually Luau is made with Octopus or Calamari or Chicken, Beef or even Pork... and as I mention to The OMWC it can go totally Vegetarian and still be ONO!!!

I was actually just writing in general about leaves that can be used to wrap foods for cooking. Nothing more.

Some of last week's meals:

Cold salad with pasta, spinach, cowpea, peas and carrots

Vegetable broth ready for the freezer

Chicken stewed with pasta, peas and carrots

Red fish with potatoes, onions and eggs

 

[Windigo]

Spaghetti bolognese with Parmesan cheese

 

[TastyReuben]

Made some bean dip for MrsT, much simpler (and much better, IMO) than hummus:

…and a pita pizza for me:

I had a sweet potato and mozarella that were about to turn, so we did a mexican version of a sheppard pie with a ceasar salad

 

[Herbaceous]

Last night’s dinner, sweet potato bowls with tabbouleh, sauerkraut, and a hummus-based garlic dill sauce. Sounds weird, but I promise it works together really well. One of the few vegan meals my husband will eat without complaining.

I do enjoy getting together ingredients in the last chance salon and making them into something tasty that may have ended up in the bin otherwise, hats off

Deja vu all over again. I am on somewhat soft food for a few days, and I love these airport cheese enchiladas. The only bad thing is that this place gives you way too much food, and you really can't take it home for another meal.

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

Yep - roger that.

 

[karadekoolaid]

oh, and @The OMWC what did you think once you looked up Lau Lau?

Curiously, lau lau in Venezuela is this:

It's a huge catfish, served fried, smoked or just battered.
