2015 - Week 20 Cooking Results

Sautéed Ramp Pizza

Last bundle of ramps that were seen for the year.  I was excited that i got them, but then was thinking about what I could do with them.  Pizza came to mind, and I thought, why not.  Now when thinking about how to present ramps on pizza, you clearly would like to have the whole thing there so you can point and say ooh ramps, however putting whole ramps on there wouldn't be, well, as easy to eat.  So you had to dice them and maybe pre-cook them a bit.  So why not cook them in bacon fat.  Then I don't want to just eat the bacon so we'll put that on the pizza too.

Turned out really good.  Pretty happy with the dish (crust was great too)

Italian Sausage and Kale Pasta

Half bag of Russian kale, cooked down with some Italian sausage, a bit of garlic, topped off with some grated Parmigiano Reggiano.  Good stuffs.

Lamb Burgers

Om nom nom nom.

Spicy Carrot Sandwiches (yay carrots, that were properly stored)

I do love these things, for sure.  I had all the ingredients to make this vegan dish.  Good things.

Pasta with Parsnips and Bacon

A good use of parsnips a delicious dish, but reheating the parsnips the next day made them lose a bit on the reheating.  But still pretty good overall.

So I opened up a new cookbook, and flipped through and said hay this Pretzel Crackle recipe looks good.  I didn't cook it long enough (my oven is weak sometimes), it still turned out to not really a crackle but a gummy delicious kind of mess.  I'll have to try it again.  Other then the failure to cook it long enough, it was super easy to make.
