Easter Dinner

Simple, but good. Ham, green beans, and potatoes...cooked in a pressure cooker. Washed down with a Berwick Brewing Company, Atomic Punk IPA. And shared with family and friends.

Life is good!

My son got up early to help me cook breakfeast for the ladies of the house. Bacon, eggs scrambled in bacon grease, whole-grain toast.

Nothing extravagant, but great bonding and talk time for a man and his son.

The gals were pleasantly surprised by breakfast before the Easter egg hunt, and my son was proud of his role in preparing the surprise.

Good ol' duck today - indirect heat on the grill. Swiss chard sauteed in the duck fat, mashed cauliflower, probably roast some sweet potaters. I wish I'd marinated the duck a few days like I did at Christmas!

Oh, I have. And I always add some zest when I'm using lemon to enhance the flavor.

You'll probably think I'm weird but I get better balance adding ingredients individually.


I've been experimenting with blood orange infused olive oil, it's quite good. So far I've sauteed and/or roasted veggies with it and have brushed it on some chicken with a bit of orange zest and a squeeze of the orange juice.

I may have posted this before but I made it again tonight.

Grilled Flank steak marinated in a Korean style marinade, steamed rice and stir fried baby bok choy.
Marinade:
1/2 cup Soy sauce
5 minced garlic cloves
1 Tbsp minced fresh ginger
1 Tbsp Chili oil
1 Tbsp Sesame oil
1 Tbsp Lemon juice
2 Chopped scallions
1 Tbsp Sesame seeds

Reserve a couple ounces of the marinade. Marinate for 2 hours or more before grilling. I grill the flank steak to medium rare. Pour the reserved marinade over the meat after slicing the meat just before serving.

Made Chicken Scallopine stuffed with shredded Fontina cheese and fresh sage leaves.

After rolling and browning the chicken I deglazed the pan with some red wine, after reducing added diced tomatoes and tomato paste with the usual suspects (basil, oregano, garlic, red pepper flakes, parsley, sea salt and freshly cracked pepper) for the sauce.

Saw Giada making it on the FN so gave it a try. Her sauce was only the reduced wine, tomatoes and red pepper flakes. I did it differently, and I think next time I'd also prefer to chop the sage instead of leaving the leaves whole.

Not bad for a first time try.

Well last night I CUI (cooked under the influence). Left over roast beef, green beans, red bliss potatoes and brown gravey. Not bad.

Tonight I am going to make a red sauce, eggplant parm, hot italian sausage and meatballs. Al lpretty easy, takes about 2 hours for all. The eggplant is a plain, fried frozen prepared type. Very good and no big mess to clean up. The only thing the eggplant misses is that taste of olive oil.

The wife has to help me with the garlic bread though. she has just the right amount of garlic to butter for a "drenched" type of garlic bread. She covers all of the bread with the ingredients, bakes it for an hour.

Parsnip Cream

I made this Parsnip Cream to serve with Seared Long Island Bay Scallops and Caviar.

The cream is made from the trimmings, reduced to consistency, the parsnip are slow roasted then pureed. The dish was so good we forgot to photograph the plating.

One of the sexiest dishes I've ever eaten.
