Grilled
 

Grilled steaks I marinated this morning and seasoned with a local combination of spices called "Honey Buzz." Combined with potatoes baked in coals on the grill and served with some fresh asparagus from the garden.

Of course, after that lunch, hard to get motivated to get moving!

Salmon
 

Grilled wild salmon w/EVOO and herbed sea salt; steamed broccoli w/lemon; ginger lentil rice (package); and blackberries. Colorful plate.

Grilled lamb chops (marinated with freshly squeezed meyer lemons, fresh chopped rosemary & mint, with a little garlic and a smidge of thyme), peas and fingerling potatoes (look like little dog turds- but actually are amazing) freshly baked rye bread (from bakery, of course) and strawberries and blueberries. Sunday night dinner!!

will probably do some jamacian jerk pork. Pretty easy to cook, hard part is putting the sauce together.

TS,
Zest of 2 lemons, juice of same, olive oil, salt and pepper. We would have done more but we ran out of thyme.

Peruvian chicken is finished dishes are done and the leftovers are shredded and packed for lunches tomorrow.

TS, What do you have on making puff pastry simple? I can see these chicken left overs becoming world class empanadas if I can unlock the pastry riddle.

I have a great recipe for an herb crusted chicken breast and a lemon beurre blanc that's out of this world....;) (I'll bring it with me when I come out your way!)

I use puff pastry out of the box......;)

I'm a French trained "culinary" cook, you need to have a chat with a P&B cook. (Patisserie and Baking);)

We're ready.

Long day turned out longer than expected... had to rebuild a lawnmower prior to cutting the yard... just got done with both tasks - hungry and don't want to cook now... wife offered to take me out if I shower because I smell like gasoline and grass clippings - essentially like a goat wearing an ied.

TS, how did you make yours? I break up the Broccoli, toss with EVOO, lemon pepper, a squeeze or two of fresh lemon (I'm on a lemon kick) garlic, a little sea salt and freshly grated parmesan...bake 350 for about 20 minutes or so.

Tea Kettles

Blanch and shock.

Cut the broccoli into crowns. Large pot of boiling water and a bowl of ice water. Place a handful of broccoli in the boiling water, this takes maybe 1 min depending on how much water and how much broccoli you're using. Boil until just fork tender, then into the ice water. Stop the cooking and remove from water and place in fridge until ready to use.

Now it's ready for a very quick saute in butter, season, plate and sprinkle with Parm and lemon zest.;)

Very nice, will try this next time...thanks for sharing!

Grilled wild boar loin- Marinated in what was described to me as a Korean style marinade.

1/2 Cup Soy sauce
1Tbsp Chili Oil
1 Tbsp fresh minced garlic
1 Tbsp fresh grated ginger
1 tsp lemon zest
1Tbsp lemon juice

I use a meat tenderizer to poke holes in the loin. You can use a fork if you don't have one. Marinate for at least 2 hours. Grill like a steak until 150 degrees internal temp. I let it rest for 20-30 minutes then slice it into 1/2 inch slices, pour a little of the marinade over it, sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced scallions, serve. A nice cab or Pinot goes down well with it...
