Continuing the Trend with Chicken

This one is ALSO chicken :P
Had to use som ricotta, so I tried to use it in a sauce. kind of thing.

Details:
Chicken, onion, broth, lemon zest and juice, and redwine cooked in pan. Mixed with a little tomato paste, basil leaves, and ricotta afterwards. Served with boiled rye kernels.


Result:
Nice purple color, nice mouthfeel, but could use a little more "filling" taste. But really munchy :P

MORE Chicken!

Time for an old time favorite

Details:
Chicken with yellow pepper, carrots, leek, and a sauce of peanut butter, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, sugar, lime juice, and chicken broth. Served with basmati rice with pandan


Result:
This was as always really good! It is really easy, quick, and tasty. Easy to find a recipe like it. I really recommend it.

Tortilla Wrap In a Different Style

Opened another bag of tortilla wraps, so again, this is what will be shown.. Sorry...

Details:
Chicken fried on the pan with honey mustard.
Chinese cabbage and slices of carrot. 
Ricotta with spiced olives, some of the spices and oil, garlic, kapers, and a tiny chopped onion.


Result:
Once wrapped and lifted, it could not really be put down again. But it was tasty, fresh, and not as messy as expected.

Everything but the Kitchensink

I am going away on a small trip tomorrow, so just threw together everything I had in the fridge.

Details:
Some salad mix, some cottage cheese, the rest of the tagliatelle, snack pepper, an orange, two hardboiled eggs, some roasted pumpkin seeds for the toasty flavor, some dried cranberries for something sweet, and a dressing of honey, lemon juice, olive oil, and the last of the fresh herbs.


Result:
No special "taste experiences" but it was a good and filling meal.

When You don't have a Grill

This should have been bbq'd, but the grill on the terrace turned out to be useless (Which I found out AFTER spending over an hour getting materials for it home).
A nice big lump of clarified butter and plenty of heat yielded some really good results on the pan anyway.

Details:
Rib Eye Steak seared in ghee on a hot pan, seasoned with salt and pepper.
Boiled haricot verdes and small potatoes, fresh tomatoes, and a mixture of porcini-tapenade, roasted chopped hazelnuts, rosemary, and salt.


Result:
This time around I made sure I had "elbowroom" to handle the steak, and that the side was easy to just munch into. The steak was dark red inside, but nicely browned on the outside.
Potatoes, haricot verdes, and tomatoes were a good combination. Especially with the added cream.

Omelet

Well I wish I had some pictures of the thin omelets I made this weekend, but instead I made this one.
I have grown up with an omelet being a deep pan dish with lots of ingredients. This is my attempt af something like that, but with the ingredients prepared by itself, and added on top of the not-yet-coagulated egg mass.

Details:
Omelet of 2 eggs and an eggwhite, with a splash of milk and salt. Topped with mixed mushrooms, fried in the fat from the rind of a piece of smoked ham. After a bit of time a leek and the lean of the smoked pork was added along with garlic, salt, pepper and fresh sage.
It was all topped with a puré of tomatoes, snackpepper, and bird's eye chilies grilled in the oven, mixed with garlic, salt, sugar, and vinegar. This was thickened with a bit of corn starch.
Homemade sour dough pumpkin seed bread on the side...


Result:
It was the best omelet I've made to date! Only problem was that the puré did not really taste as I'd like it to. Should have heated it to a boil in a pan after adding the starch, adn should have used less sugar.

Summer!!!

And for that a nice salad!

Details:
Bottom of halloumi-like cheese and butterbeans.
Salad with chopped apple, blueberries, dried cranberries, roasted pumpkin seeds, and roasted cashew nuts. Drizzled with some lime juice and acacia honey.


Result:
The whole idea with the butterbeans and cheese was not good, that should have been in a completely different dish! Rest was really good though :)
