2019 - Week 29 Cooking Results

Corn Cacio e Pepe

This was very simple to make. I even used the food processor to shred the cheese and make the creamed cheese. It was quite good and took almost no time. Now that corn season is finally showing up, I may have to redo this soon.

Lemony Chicken Stir Fry

I debated making this last night, as the heat was breaking but had not quite yet broken. I thought about using the Sauce from the Smash Burger and make a chicken sandwich instead, except that I had almost 2 pounds of chicken to use. I read over the recipe again, and figured it’d not be that stressful to make. I started the Basmati rice, prepped the parts, moved the dishes along, then executed the cooking. It went pretty quick after that, generated it’s own little sauce withe rendered chicken fat and the other ingredients. I don’t think it was as lemony as last time I made it, but who knows.

Spicy Pork Meatballs with Nuoc Cham

Shannon was not a fan of the Nuoc Cham, which I can understand, it’s a bit out there. I thought the combination of the two was pretty good, though. I uh…had run out of local bought ground pork, I felt extremely guilty and made a special trip to at least pork that raised better then average. Still feel bad.

Chicken with Mozzarella sandwiches

Seared the chicken, topped with Mozzarella, only thing I guess could’ve been better is to add like a spicy romesco sauce or something to it. Simple dinner.

Smash Burger Alfresco

I used some wonderful beef for this, and sort of followed the directions. Set off the smoke detector a bit, as I do. Piled the patties on nice buns. Good things.
