Just a quick post of what we've been eating at home recently.
We recently bought a Himalayan Salt Block, so we've been playing around with it.
The best thing so far has been heating up the block and quickly searing some thin sliced Wagyu Beef….too long on the block means some really salty stuff.
The Missus is still lovin' Her fish….here's a Pan Fried Hake with Dilled Vegetables and Marsala Mushrooms.
But the Missus's newest thing is having me make kebabs and kofte. Here's a Lamb Kebab with Turkish Spices. We also made all the meze as well.
It was quite good. Trying to keep those carbs down, we used butter lettuce to make lettuce cups of a sort.
But the Kofte I made from ground lamb and veal was even better.
Very juicy and tender. I also added thinly sliced eggplant that I roasted in the oven. This came together pretty quick for a nice weeknight dinner.
Here's some Red Cooked Oxtails.
From my old recipe.
Along with some Dried Fried Green Beans, which I hadn't made in a while.
I've got a couple more dishes, but I think I'll save them for full on recipe posts.

I saw a Himalayan Salt block and I’ve been very tempted to get one! ^^
I had to google a Himalayan Salt Block. I’ve never heard of one before. Where do you heat it up on? A stove or grill? Does it salt your food?
everything looks good! that is interesting about the salt block, thanks for sharing!
Hi XJ – It’s kind of interesting and makes a great presenation…..but I’m not sure it’s very useful.
Hi Paulina – You can heat it on the grill or in the oven. You should probably only use one side….then you use the other side for serving food, like sashimi.
Hi Kat – The salt block was quite cheap so we thought why not get it?
Great meals you’ve had! Where can one find a Himalayan salt block?
Hi CC – We got ours from Sur La Table. I was surpised at reasonable the price was.
