Admittedly I’m proud. It’s dirty rice and the best I’ve done in awhile.
Reversed my usual order of cooking onions, garlic & peppers first & cooked beef, then those vegetables. Added black pepper and paprika, a little oregano, salt, and fresh celery.
Then reversed the order in the directions and cooked the rice with olive oil, a little salt and turned it yellow with turmeric, which is natural treatment of joint pain.
Sacrilegious in Cajun Country, I know, but am not a fan of bell peppers and switch them out with a half a habanero.
Portobello mushroom stuffed ravioli with a bolognese sauce and chicken with a side of broccoli cauliflower and carrots. My wife’s favorite.
Saute the seasoned chicken breast in light olive oil (I use cavenders Greek seasoning.)
Bring bolognese to a simmer, add heavy cream until pasty orange then add chopped chicken and baby spinach, turn off heat and cover.
Boil raviolis, plate with cooked veggies and pour sauce over raviolis, sprinkle with shredded parmigiana cheese.
Italian meatloaf, from Jenn Segal’s (Once Upon a Chef) cookbook - like a giant meatball per her description. Made gluten free using gluten free Italian breadcrumbs. Best meatloaf we’ve ever had, gluten free or no. Accompanied by hash brown potatoes and grilled fresh asparagus. Oh, and a nice italian red.
I do the same. Cube Steaks, hit them with flour mixed with pepper and garlic powder. Dip in egg & water, dip in Panko crumbs with Parmesan cheese. Fry in electric skillet and oil. My gravy is a jalapeno gravy. I keep some of the oil and drippings… I fry some garlic in it (crushed) and add flower, course ground pepper and some pureed jalapeno and some milk. My wife won’t eat chicken fried steak at a restaurant. A few days ago, we opened up a menu, the waiter was there and she said “Oh, chicken fried steak sounds good…” he said “Gravy on top?” … She said YUP! Looked at me and said You’re making chicken fried steaks this week… I’ll have the burger.
I don’t own a real plate. Also… when i let my supply of paper plates run out temporarily… i do have alumimum foil. Not good for microwave but OK to eat off of
