What did you cook or eat today (August 2020)?

Yesterday's pickled cayenne pepper beef burger.....

Fabulous work of art mate, It reminds me of this Rosenquist

Still to hot to cook inside. I bought 800 grams of minced veal yesterday. This morning I put the slow cooker on the balcony table. I put the veal in the cooker with a pack of defrosted paste tom sauce. Pureed onion and garlic put that in with some Worcester sauce and a few pinches of oregano. I blended it with hand squishes. 10 hrs on medium should do it. I will post pic tomorrow. I also bought some grated Lithuanian cheese to sprinkle.
I am not a fan of sloppy or over sauced pasta so I leave it to cook till the meat has absorbed most of the liquid.

Lamb shanks, cooked in the slow cooker, with red wine, lamb stock, onions, garlic, celery, carrots, anchovy fillets and a sprig of rosemary. Cooked for 6 1/2 hours.

My wife made a lovely strawberry mousse for pudding.

Yesterday we had grilled salmon with vegetables.

Roasted courgette and potatoes with beef sausage. It's skin is wrinkled because I use the airfryer for it to reduce fat.

Dinner tonight was an experiment in left overs. I had some cold lamb shoulder from Sat which I chopped up then cooked off in a little oil 'til it wascrispy & gnarly. A little bit of red onion, the last remaining celery stalk & some cherry toms in the pan till blistered & onions clear, added the last of the (wilted) spinach & some leafy herbs until reduced. Plated, put the lamb on top, grated fetta & some oven-crisped pita. Doesn't look too good (the fetta is a molten mess) but it tastes good

I guess you are left handed ?

No, but she is. That probably explains it.

I made a Cuban style pork butt to be divided and used for 4-5 meals. This time I did it in the oven as the Egg had apple chunks in it and I didn't want any smoke. We actually had hotdogs steamed in beer.

Bellisimo

And buonissimo too!
It’s one of the typical pizzas (pizza bianca in this specific case - i.e. focaccia) in Rome
I like the slightly sweet taste of figs combined with prosciutto and Gorgonzola, well balanced and enjoyable

Moroccan spiced chicken with a side of salad and some green wine ("vinho verde"). I'm so lucky to live in a country where good wine is cheap (my liver disagrees. This bottle will probably last two days with me).

I could put that bread roll in the Failures topic, it didn't rise the second time, but then I remembered that "thin" breads are all the rage now, so I'm calling it a success.
