What's for Dinner, Mon., Aug. 6, 2018

[NJCher]

The RG made spicy pork mixture and I stuffed Cubanelle peppers (aka Italian frying peppers) with them. Topped them w/cheese and put in the slow cooker. In addition, the RG made a pork roast and sauce to go on top.

Simple cucumber salad: just olive oil over chopped cucumber! And whatever herb sounds good; in this case it will be parsley and mint.

I think I might try this recipe from a new cookbook called Superiority Burger Cookbook. Oddly enough, it's not about burgers; it's about vegetarian food. The recipe is "Burnt Broccoli Salad," and they call it "burnt" because of charring the broccoli in a cast iron skillet. The broccoli is tossed with coriander vinaigrette and topped with candied cashews and eggplant puree.

Sliced Cherokee purple tomatoes, from the heirlooms I am growing this summer.

To drink, 2 organic tea freddo, which is green tea from Italy. It's made with mineral water and chun mee tea leaves.

For dessert, a cold fruit plate with cheese.

1. Grilled rib-eye steaks

The lettuce and cherry tomatoes in the garden are out of control so we'll start with a fresh salad.

The steaks are marinating in a light vinaigrette. They'll be grilled alongside one of my favorites: charred red, green and yellow peppers. Corn on the cob will complete the entree.

Mixed berries and strawberries for dessert.

This past weekend, I was given an extraordinary single-malt whiskey called Aberlour. That'll finish the evening!

ETA: Eat well, one and all!

2. Meatless Monday

Red Thai style curry with Tofu over zucchini zoodles. Cold decaf tea, chocolate almond biscoti with the evening movie

3. Jambalaya and Cornbread Muffins...

even though it's blazing hot out.

4. Pork chops and applesauce!

With a side of boiled then candied baby carrots.
Still eating the applesauce I made this weekend. I fried the bone in chops in half olive oil, half coconut oil and let them brown real nice. The two are pairing very nice!
