Food What's For Dinner Tonight?

The best cure for the worst hangovers is red sauce. So I made a huge pot of red sauce packed with veggies and meat that I served over flat sweet potato starch noodles. I've been experimenting with a few different things... This batch came from two big ass cans of fire-roasted tomatoes (Muir Glen organic are delicious), a box of Pomi strained tomatoes added to sautéed onion, leek, yellow pepper, carrots, and celery. Halfway through, I hit it with the immersion blender and then added sautéed mushrooms, fresh basil, three Parmesan rind pieces, a pound of ground beef and two hot Italian sausages. Simmered for a total of two hours.
Made tomorrow night's dinner, too. Sautéed six types of mushrooms, onion, leek, yellow pepper, carrots, celery, garlic (sense a pattern?), and baby bok choy in coconut aminos, tamari, a crapload of spices, and toasted sesame oil. Added home made broth from awhile back and simmered for an hour. Added the greens of the baby bok choy, and added 1.25lbs of ground beef that I undercooked with onion, spices, and six thai birds eye chiles when there was just 20m left. It keeps the meat from overcooking. Played with flavor balance and dinner's done for a few nights. There's always rice in the fridge and sweet potato starch or rice noodles that can be made. I'm tired now. But the house smells good.

 

Last night was a rare treat: T-bone steak. With sautéed spinach, mushrooms, & onions.

 

@Japchae you could ship me some of that and I'd ship you some cash
Sounds fucking awesome like your lasagna.

 

half rack baby back ribs.

 

Paleo panang chicken curry. From scratch.

 

Chicken breast with curry sauce, oven-roasted potatoes, & peas.

 

Plantain chips.

 

Last night...

Pinto beans. Rinsed, soaked nearly 24 hours, rinsed again. I flavored them with onions, bacon, cumin, garlic, & salt. The beans were very fresh, purchased loose at Fiesta. There is a noticeable difference between the bagged beans on the shelf (which can be reasonably fresh) and fresh beans.

My wife cooked from-scratch cornbread, which also turned out exceptionally well.

Are you in NOLA? Heh. I miss gumbo and boudain.

 

Leftovers, to be determined.

Because we have LO pork roast, pintos beans, beef stew, & chicken breast, and some sides.

 

I'm getting off work early.
Cast iron skillet brained pork chops with apples and onions, sautéed vegetables, and baked Hannah sweet potatoes.

 

Tonight will be the last of the pulled pork I made last week. Turned the last bit into soup.

 

Beginning cook here, had not heard of brained pork chops. I found brined tho--looks yummy!

 

This somewhat experienced cook was also wondering about "brained."
