Caldereta and brown rice. Caldereta is a Filipino dish that is similar to a spicy beef stew but much drier. It's made with beef, potatoes, carrots, onions, green bell peppers, red bell peppers, green peas, raisins, and a spicey tomato sauce.  While I like most Filipino foods, this is by far my favorite.

Xmas dinner was roast beef, brown potatoes, sweet potatoes, peas and carrots, with a bit of cranberry fruit wine.  Cherry pie for desert!

Tonight, made chicken ravioli with tomato sauce, parmesan cheese, herbs, an peas.  Also opened a 2011 Terrazas Torrontes which is a white grape grown in the Medoza region, Salta , Argentina.  This vintage is quite tasty, a pale yellow, a wiff of orange and rose, tastes of pear, mango, and passion fruit.

 I love making good dinners and  having a yummy wine with it! :icon_biggrin: :::cheers:::

Dinner this evening ...

Roasted butterflied lamb covered in olive oil, seasoned with salt, pepper, italian seasoning, and taragon.  Served with boiled red potatoes, flavored with onion powder and cummin, and peas.  Had this with Conquista's 2012 Malbec, Mendoza, Argentina.

And not that I can dance like this, but I have danced waltz to this tune ...

Made a chicken, peppers, and oregano recipe, and laid it on a bed of rice pilaf.

Browned the chicken in olive oil and salt.  Then lightly brown some onions.  Then lightly browned some red and yellow peppers with garlic.  Then mixed all into the same roasting pan at 400 degrees for 40 minutes with chardonnay, oregano, and salt.  cooked the rice pilaf while the roasting pan was in the oven.

Freaking awesomely yummy! :icon_biggrin: :icon_cool:

What are fataya? Look tasty

We use a pizza dough mix and it's filled with (in this case) spinach, feta cheese, onions, lemon juice, pepper and allspice and folded into neet packages (I'm still not that great at it as some where broken open). It's a Syrian dish mostly an appetizer/treat. You can put meat into it too if you like. I've gone on this trip making hummus by the gallon and these yummies. You can also spice em up but my Scottish diet I was brought up on is too wimpish for this 😸

Sundays feast was southern style slow cooked short ribs and home made slaw with corn and jacket pots.

Chinese Hot Pot.

Basically a big bowl of broth split into 2. One side chicken soup with Shittake mushrooms, the other sichuan pepper and chilli. Order veges and proteins, but them in whichever side you fancy to cook, pull them out when done. So yummy, filling, and decent for you too (if you pick enough veges)

Have you had shitake mushrooms before? The flavour is quite different from other mushrooms. We used to get enoki mushrooms for the spicy side, but they are quite expensive and easier to get a protein.

Had a Mediterranean pizza. We have tried every pizza place in town (at least 6) but none had it quite right. Until Papa Sam's. A Greek guy who has two locations. I'll leave it in the words of my 12 year old stepdaughter. If god was ordering out, this is what he would get. It's that bloody good! Friday nights are usually our only order out night as everything else is home cooked. Nice break for the end of the week.

I do enjoy a good Sichuan hotpot when I get the chance. Usually in Sichuan they don't bother with the white broth side. Some places do it though.

Japanese hotpot (nabe) is good too, very different and not at all spicy.

Have you had shitake mushrooms before? The flavour is quite different from other mushrooms. We used to get enoki mushrooms for the spicy side, but they are quite expensive and easier to get a protein.
It's not he flavor I dislike, its the texture.  I enjoy mushroom flavored gravy.

Of course. Very hot though I imagine!

And yeah, the Japanese one is nice, but the Chinese one is a bit more fun. Which one do you go to sig? We go to the one at Burwood.
Title: Re: Dinner!
Post by: Sig on September 26, 2017, 07:06:21 AM
Haha, my wife's uncle was working at the Burwood one (Sichuan Restaurant it's called?) illegally. He's back in China now though. It's a nice place, assuming it's the one I'm thinking of. The owner has or had control of the Red Chilli Sichuan chain as well.

For Japanese I just make it myself. For Chinese we sometimes go to Thumbs Up Hotpot in Chinatown though Burwood is better. There are a few in Chinatown that are ok. I found Burwood a bit salty but otherwise quite authentic so I'd just keep going there. One option is to get the hotpot pre-cooked, where you just select ingredients and it comes out in a bowl already cooked in the sauce, so you can just eat.

Served it with broccoli, and reheated pasta with a 1/4 cup of water and after swirling in the pan used to melt the butter, garlic, oregano, and thyme mixture.  Served with a glass of the white wine, too.

Covered the frying pan with olive oil, added garlic, then put fish (this works well with salmon or trout like the char) in with skin side up first, for 30 seconds, to allow garlic flavor to seep in a bit.  Then flipped char to skin side down, flavored with salt, pepper, added teaspoons butter (three on fish, three in olive oil), then peas on top which most will roll into the olive oil and butter, and tomato slices everywhere, cooked for 6 to 7 minutes or so on low to medium heat.

Fish will easily slide from skin, and placed on bed of linguine with peas and tomatoes.  I didn't add herbs this time, but whatever ya got, like basil, thyme, oregano, etc., can be lightly sprinkled in with the salt and pepper.

Went well with Voire Verdejo, Rueda, 2016, white wine from Spain.

@ von zone: I love a Sunday roast! My parents also preferred veggies boiled to pulp so it’s not so crazy for me. Haven’t had veggies like that since I met my new wife lol. She likes em nutritious.

@GP: that Arctic char sounds fantastic. Haven’t had it in 20 years but I still remember how good it was. Sounds like a good recipe and there can’t be enough peas 😺

Crab cakes with Portuguese stuffed clam, broccoli, sweet potato, and zucchini. Yummy! :icon_biggrin:

And Dancing Crow Vineyards, Sauvignon Blanc, Lake County, 2016.  The wine was ok, and didn't seem to pair well with the shell fish.  Not a huge Sauvignon Blanc fan, and this one seemed to be flowery, lemon, hint of butter, yet no big deal.

Zinfandel?
Title: Re: Dinner!
Post by: GamesPoet on March 15, 2020, 12:41:10 AM
Yes, it is a red wine grape grown in California primarily.  It is a clone of the Croatian grape called Crljenak.  The Italian grape called Primitivo is also a clone of Crljenak.  In Croatia, Zinfandel is called Tribidrag, and it has been around since the 15th century.

And Zinfandel isn't to be confused with the so called White Zinfandel, the latter which is a semi-sweet blush style wine.  These can be quite good in the correct vinter's development, but somwhere along the line White Zinfandel became a wine that is mass produced and sold at somewhere around 5 to 6 times as often as regular Red Zinfandel.

Tonight ... Parsana's Sicilian Gravy with ground beef mixed in, served on a bed of Colavita's radiators #69, and a salad of baby agrula, red mustard leaf, lettuce, mizuno, and cress on the side. :icon_cool: :icon_biggrin:

The only thing missing was some red wine, which I decided not to open up a bottle this weekend, since I have a another day of clearing out the hobby storage unit on Sunday.  Need to be up early, and wouldn't want yummy wine getting in the way of that in the morning.

Last night I had sliced and refried chicken fingers with french fries and honey flavored baked beans last night.

Tonight ... broiled hotdogs with spanish rice and the rest of the honey flavored baked beans.

Heavenly food that went well with a lovely white wine called Monterustico Bianco 2018 from the Langhe region of Italy.

Made pasta with a marinara made by Rao.  Excellent sauce, and highly recommend!  I added some ground beef cooked in olive oil and salt only.  Served with a soft and medium body red, tasting notes below.

- - -

The wine hit the right tone as well, perhaps one of the best wines I've recently tasted ... Clos de los Siete 2016 ... a blended red out of Argentina with 54% Malbec, 18% Merlot, 12% Cabernet, 12% Syrah, 3% Petit Verdot, 1% Cabernet Franc. This smelled so good of berries and grapes, flavor was smooth and seemed well balanced with a good measure of black and red fruits, including plum and even cranberry plus the rest, and mixed with spices and herbs.  However, glass number 3 showed that it probably doesn't have much more shelf/storage life, so maybe still good till 2022 and definitely not beyond 2023.

This definitely went well with the pasta meal, could go well with beef no problem, definitely Mexican/South American dishes too.

If you're into wine, this one is worth searching out for yourself. :icon_cool: :::cheers:::

Made baked haddock topped with bread crumbs, herbs, butter, and green beans.  It was awesome!

Served with a white wine from Western Cape South Africa, Breaking Waves 2019 Sauvignon Blanc (87%) and Semillion (17%).  It had grapefruit, lemon, honey, kiwi, and a hint of lime for flavors.  Went good with some popcorn after the meal, too!

I love making good food, eating good food, and having nicely paired wine with it. :icon_mrgreen:

I had scrumptious meat loaf, potatoes, and veggies with some left over rice, and gravy poured over.  A class of Cabernet Sauvignon from Chile.

And now another glass of the wine, plus some gouda cheese from the Netherlands.  Heavenly luscious.

Gouda is one of the better ones that isn't pretentious like, say, Italian or French cheeses.
You know, the kinds that say "This was aged 250 years in the belly of a Unicorn who turned into a human and seduced the princess of Genoa to have a baby with her and who then went on to become the king of the Mediterranean" or some shit.

But that unicorn cheese is the type I like lol
Gouda is great and I still love a ripened cheddar. I’ve been trying some Irish cheeses but the coastal cheese from England is one of my favourites

I was partial to Irish cheddar but unless you go through specialty retailers you can't get it that easily. Unlike Kerry Gold.

In different pans of course. :icon_wink: :icon_lol:

It was pretty good. The glaze really elevated it. Sadly, because I had to swap out ingredients for gluten-free ones, and those are expensive as fuck, I had to skimp on the breadcrumbs in terms of quantity. That made it fally-aparty.

Made baked haddock without bread crumbs, although topped with herbs and butter, adding some paprika for a mini kick.  This time served with peas and carrots, and a bottle of Girasole Pinot Blanc 2019, a fabulous white wine from Mendicino County.  It was full of lemon and honey flavors, smooth and easy to drink.

From the "Lunch" thread earlier today ...

... Oh, and hand with an Austrailian red wine blend of 45% cab sauvignon, 35% merlot, and 20% shiraz by Chateau Tanunda 2018, with tastes of blueberry, blackberry, chocolate and some sort of spice, although I could also tell it'd been made in wood barrels and perhaps this will soften a bit over night, but will see.

And I will try it with pasta this evening as well.
Homemade meat sauce served on top of radiator pasta in a bowl.  Fricking wonderfully yummy.

The wine had softened that wood taste almost completely.  A classic case of why letting some wines age or air a bit before serving works.

A tasty meal with a tasty wine, excellent, and life is good. :icon_cool: :::cheers:::

Tonight ... having an early dinner of arctic char cooked in olive oil, shallot, garlic, fisherman's herb mix, heirloom tomato chopped for a minimal amount of sauce, and served with fresh spaghetti, cheese and potato pierogis, and organic green beans.  Yum! :icon_biggrin: :::cheers:::

Also having some Terroirs du Vent 2018 La Violette Viognier ... scrumptiously good with fish meals and light meats or even as an apertif if desired.

For dinner tonight, we made (and had) Onigiri for the first time. It was pretty easy and the kids liked stirring in the seasoning and molding them into triangles and adding the nori. It was surprisingly good. Next time we'll make some teriyaki chicken and add it as a filling.

Lsst night ...

One medium to small sized onion chopped, two cloves of garlic diced small, into 4 table spoons of butter melted in a fry pan.  Then a haddock fillet cut in half cooked lightly for two minutes on the meat side, and then flipped for the remainder of the cooking on the skin side.  Lightly salted, then a tuscan style herb mix, and then four sunrise sauce tomatoes cut into small pieces.  Fried until tomatoes are a combo of broken and sauced, and the fish is clearly cooked.  Served with a mix of green beans and gemelli pasta, and a white wine (this time Heart & Hands Winery's "Polarity" 2020).

Fabulous! :icon_biggrin: :icon_cool: :::cheers:::
