Tales of Deliciousness

[Barut]

I made the bluberry-wine reduction. I used asparagus rather than beans because I'm classy like that. A+

I'll make the Tikka Masala this week and report.

Pecan Encrusted Chicken with Flourless Butternut Squash Gnocchi in Sage Brown Butter

Throw a cup and a half or so of pecans into the food processor and pulse until you’ve got something the size of large bread crumbs. Take a couple boneless, skinless chicken breasts and slice them lengthwise to make four thinner pieces… basically butterfly, but finish the cut. Dredge in flour (I used spelt), then dunk ‘em in a couple beaten eggs, then dredge again in pecans. Set aside.

The gnocchi… first, a note: This was entirely experimental as I’ve never done a flourless variety before and I really just started throwing stuff together until it seemed right. After making this, I can say it was good, but I definitely prefer a traditional flour/boiled gnocchi. If you’re strict low carb, though, this is a nice substitute.

Cut a small butternut squash lengthwise and place flesh down in a glass baking dish with about

Cool. Glad you liked it.

This one hardly qualifies as cooking (at least the way I do it), but it's healthy, quick and easy, so I think it's worth adding.

Chicken Tikka Masala

Cut up a mess o' chicken breast and fry in coconut oil, preferably in a wok. Add chopped onion (maybe 1 small or 1/2 large) and continue cooking until onion is glossy. Add a can of diced tomatoes, 1/2-3/4 cups water and about 1/4-1/3 cups tikka masala curry paste. Cook until water reduces and sauce begins to thicken. Add about 1/2 cup plain yogurt and simmer a couple minutes longer.

It's not much of a feat considering I use canned tomatoes and jarred curry paste, but it is delicious.

Good stuff. Have you considered buying some turmeric and Indian chili powder to season it up a bit more? (If it gets too spicy, all you have to do is dump in some unflavored yogurt).

I have turmeric, but no Indian chili powder. I could give it a try, but as it stands, my 1 and 3 year old girls love this stuff, so I'd have to be careful not to put it over the edge.

Be sure to always rest your beef before carving.

I think a lot of people don't realize this. Good tip. The dinner looked great.

That thing looks like a Demon's penix.


It figures that you would have a dutch oven. My wine cock recipe called for a dutch oven and I thought it was a joke. Until last night I thought a dutch oven is where you pull the covers up over your spouse's head and fart. Google tells me I was thinking of a "Covered Wagon."

Live and learn.

I&#8217;ve always known that act as &#8220;dutch oven&#8221;, as well, so I don&#8217;t think you were wrong. It might be a cultural thing&#8230; like how wankers call elevators &#8220;lifts&#8221; and cigarettes &#8220;fags&#8221;.

Tonight's dinner...

Thai Grass Fed Ground Beef with Cabbage, Onions and Carrots

Heat a couple Tbsp of sesame oil in wok. Add beef and cook until browned. Add julienned carrots, then sliced cabbage (about 1/2 head), and sliced onion. Cook until veggies start to become tender. Add a few shakes of soy, a couple spoonfuls of natural peanut butter and a drizzle of honey if you want to sweeten it up.

I added: half a can of coconut milk, ground sesame, and nam pla sauce. It was infinity better.

Sounds good, but how did you eat it covered in napalm?

coconut milk = heaven.

Bacon, Onion and Cheddar Frittata

I loves me all sorts of eggs, but lately, frittatas have been my favorite ovarian eats. They're so damn simple, too, which adds to their appeal.

Heat up a small non-stick skillet, add chopped bacon, add chopped onion, cook until bacon is to your liking. Add six omega-3 eggs beaten with some shredded cheddar and push the outer edges of the egg in towards the middle as it cooks. When you have a loose mixture with strands of cooked egg throughout, sprinkle more cheese over the top and transfer to the oven under the broiler. When the cheese is bubbly and starting to brown up, you're done. Cut it up like a pie and eat.
