What’s for dinner?

[tarheelmjfan]

Never heard of them but I just googled and they sound goooood! Let us know how they turn out.

Okay, here's my pathetic attempt at a review:

I used this https://thesouthernladycooks.com/on...MTjULygkabw6CWxpt4BlUWyzesRzLKdVXqLV4BuNJstBk recipe. Since I'd promised to share what we thought, we fried one patty following the recipe exactly. It was good, but a little bland for us. (My extended family would probably love them as is.) I added cayenne pepper to the next one. It was a little better, but we still thought it needed more flavor. For the rest of the batch, I added cayenne, paprika, garlic, more pepper & a little more salt. That was the perfect combination for us. They tasted a lot like blooming onions, which inspired me to make a sauce similar to blooming onion sauce to dip them in. (I didn't have ingredients for any of the sauce recipes I found in a quick search, so I winged it with what I had.) The sauce took them from very good to excellent. I'll be adding the patties w/sauce to my appetizer list as well.

Disclaimer: As you can see, we like a lot of flavor. We aren't the type that likes heat in everything, but think some dishes are better with it. This was one of those dishes. I'd still recommend trying it without the cayenne & garlic, if you don't care for those. At the very least, I'd add the paprika to the original recipe.

Well done - thanks!

Tonight was sushi from a fusion restaurant. I had a sushi sampler (seven pieces of chef's-choice nigiri... all of them perfect) and a salad with shrimp, corn, cucumber, and avocado (the dressing was kind of watery, and the ingredients never really meshed together, but it was okay). My partner had clear soup, crab rangoon, and a dragon roll. And her 20-year-old son had a stir-fry with chicken and shrimp.

Great review! I like that you seasoned to your own taste thus know that your family will eat them . As well the spices you added reminded me of a blend Nick Stellino uses quite a bit (I love his cooking style and personality) .
Never had a blooming onion but feel like I have now; reads like the addition of cornmeal gave them a nice crunch. Definitely going to give this a try.

Last night was a bit of a fridge clean out meal.

Julienned carrots, snow pea pods, sliced bok choy and cabbage, and a bit of cooked broccoli spears was added to sautéed ground pork, soy sauce, sugar, and rice vinegar. At the end mixed in some cold rice vermicelli noodles with chile-garlic sauce to heat through and finally some ginger julienned, and chopped cilantro and parsley, off heat, and it was done. I made it up out of my head (writing it so I’ll remember what I did, LOL) from leftover wonton filling and hope to do it again with broad wheat noodles next time.

That sounds delicious!

We’re in Nashville, so it’s been 3 days of BBQ for dinner. I did find some salad for lunch today. LOL

Tonight is Martin’s BBQ son Broadway.

 

[NYCgrrl]

Last night‘s meal:
A cup of vegetable soup used up the rest of the leftovers for a starter.

Then we had porchetta (Italian roast pork), steamed spinach and mashed potatoes with a chicken gravy.

Made DGD a strawberry sundae and I had a glass of Drambuie for dessert.

Tonight, we had a sheet pan meal of baked cauliflower gnocchi with asparagus, leeks, tomatoes, broccoli, and peas. So simple and less dishes to wash which makes DGD, happy, LOL.

Peach clafoutis for dessert and probably breakfast too.

[chickapin parterre]

frozen crabcakes, frozen spot stickers and pulled some frozen ribs out for tomorrow...I think I touched the bottom of the chest deep freeze... didn't feel good...but don't worry it isn't big enough box to pull me in...one of those senior citizen deep freeze that extends your kitchen island.

I had to look up pistolettes. How do you make it?

I just buy them, leidenheimer is the brand...my favorite po-boy bread, but I like using the pistolettes since they are a good size.

Or the roast? Just the three packets (sometimes I've seen double of one of them, which I used to do, but made it one less to help reduce the sodium a bit) -au jus, italian dressing, and ranch dressing, plus 1/4-1/2 water. Crock pot all day. so easy and all the boys love it.
