What's for Dinner, Sun., Feb. 26, 2017

[NJCher]

Asian noodle soup. It will have chicken, mushrooms, and spinach in broth that has been juiced up with ginger, soy, and the usual suspects.

It's been a clean-out the refrigerator day, so I think I'll be doing some vegetable dishes tonight, like steamed broccoli with hoisin sauce and toasted sesame seed.

2. Hummm!

Broccoli with hoisin sauce -- sounds good.

3. Snackies, because I'll be at a friend's house

watching the Academy Awards. My contribution is hummus and pita bread. And a bottle of champagne. Have no idea what else there will be.

4. Cream of chicken noodles

I have been making this since I was a college student.

I put a thin chicken breast wrapped in foil in the oven for 30 mins at 350. While that is cooking, I combine a can of condensed cream of chicken with a half can of heavy cream and half a can of low sodium chicken stock. I add to that salt, pepper, italian herb mix, parmesan cheese, Worcestershire sauce, and a bay leaf and let it reduce down. Then, after the chicken is done, I dice it into small pieces and add it to reducing sauce.

I pour that over extra large egg noodles and top it with more parmesan cheese.

It is delicious and makes for amazing left overs.

6. Posole verde con puerco

I'm going to put the veggies under the broiler first (pasilla and jalapeno peppers, tomatillos, onion, garlic) and then sweat/peel the skins. I'll blend everything except the peppers, which I dice. It should take about 2 hrs for the pork to get tender on the stovetop.

The usual suspect for condiments: thinly sliced cabbage, radishes, avocado, lime wedges, corn tortillas.

It's my low-and-slow day!

7. Clam chowder

Good.

8. Eye Round Roast

seasoned with thyme, minced garlic salt and pepper in a red wine and stock sauce. I'm debating adding sliced onions to the mix.

9. Leftovers with this addition:

steamed Brussel sprouts with thick-cut, smoked bacon lardons in butter, served with a dollop of crème-fraiche.

10. Grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup.

Simple but classic.
