Just a couple of things that came out of my kitchen recently……
I was thinking about what might go good with my Sun Noodles Tonkotsu Ramen….yes, I was feeling kinda lazy and tired. I decided to do a riff on my Misoyaki Recipe using some cremini mushrooms I had in the fridge.
And it turned out rather well.
I recently placed an order for a cookbook, beans, and nixtamalized corn from Rancho Gordo. To make the $50 free shipping deal, I ordered the "Desert Island Sampler", basically a sampler of five different beans. With the recent cold weather; I started with the white bean – the Alubia Blanca and made a Kale and White Bean Stew with Merguez.
Man, these beans are really good. Only needed a four hour soak, tender yet, keeps its shape well….great flavor.
And the Missus really loved it.
The main reason I placed my order from RG, was for the Pozole Cookbook by Steve Sando. The Missus has been bugging me to make Pozole for a while. So, using the hominy, and referencing Steve Sando's book, along with others in collection I made some pozole this weekend.
I also found some chili de arbol from India that was pretty spicy, so I made a salsa roja….which was pretty darn spicy.
The Missus really enjoyed this one….especially on this rather chilly and wet Sunday. I'm thinking this is going to bet a regular part of our rotation during cold weather.
What did you have this past week?
