I was lazy today and didn't cook. I had a bagel at 10 this morning, some coffee, then pepperoni pizz tonight from a a place nearby.

What did I cook today? Nothing... Lol

 

made pork chops.
stuck them in a pressure cooker with pineapple juice, chicken broth, a fat clove of garlic. let that go for about 15 minutes, then took chops out and splashed them with a little teriyaki, and set them aside. while they were marinating I took the stock from the pressure cooker and added more pineapple juice, orange juice, a bit of lemon juice, some thai sweet chili sauce and a pinch of red pepper flakes and reduced it down to a nice sauce.
Then I took the chops and seared them in a hot skillet with chunks of pineapple until they were cooked through, poured a little the thai chili sauce over them and let them get a nice glaze.

Served it with some plain white rice, green beans with onions and bacon and the sauce turned out to be damn near orgasmic.:drool5:
Nice strong citrus/pineapple flavor with a mildly hot finish from the chili flakes.
goes perfect with the pork.
:chef:

Haha.. Ahh Friday...

 

I cooked MANY baskets of fries at McD's tonight.

 

I made one of my favorites last night

Enchilada Torte

Ingredients;
1 package corn tortillas
1/2 lb cooked, drained and crumbled ground beef or pork
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1 Small can of black olives, drained
8 oz can of red or green enchilada sauce ( preferably Hatch brand made from roasted New Mexico chilis)
aprox 1/4 cup cooking oil (I like coconut oil or peanut)

Heat oil to a low frying temp in a shallow pan and warm the sauce in a pan big enough to dip the tortillas.
dip one tortilla in hot oil, then in the sauce and place in the bottom of a small casserole dish thats just a little bigger around that a tortilla.
sprinkle some ground meat, cheese, onions, and olives on the tortilla and repeat.

The idea here is to distribute the ingredients in thin layers between the tortillas until you have a nice stacked cake.
Pour the remaining sauce over the torte and a little more cheese on top then bake at 350 for 1/2 hour or until the cheese is bubbly.

Serve with a dollop of sour cream, fresh avocado, refried beans and shredded lettuce or your favorite greens on the side.

serves 3-4

 

Sweet 'n' sour chicken, with special fried rice and spring rolls, nothing fancy

 

Sounds More Like "Take Out" Rather Than Home Cooked...



Cheers Glen.

 

I know we cant have take outs as the family have allergies so have to make our own

 

How Can A Whole Family Have Allergies, And If Indeed You Do,

What Are You All Allergic To....???



Cheers Glen.

 

Peanuts and other nuts if the main one, there is tomato's, celery and spices, so it easier for me to make the food,

Me I'm allergic to BS

 

lol

What a great idea! They'll appreciate having the collection when they're older.

Any leftovers? Jotted down the recipe... gotta use up those avocados!

 

Oh yes, plenty leftover. I'll be having some for breakfast... smothered in fried eggs (over easy) :sunny:

 

Crap! I was called away and missed breakfast leftovers. {slouches off to eat an avocado}

 

I am going to steal this recipe! Oh yes I am.

 

Don't worry I saved you some.

Oh no I've revealed my secret recipe!

I actually reverse engineered the torte from a dish that I got at a restaurant called "Jose O'shays" lol

They served it with 2 fried eggs on top of the torte, each with a toothpick bearing an international flag stuck in the yolk part, and whole black olives stuck on the top like little periscopes or something...Haha I have no idea WTF

 

Thanks! The eggs are even made the way I like them (minus the flags). But I didn't slink away fast enough, I fell asleep. Now I'm post-nap famished! Especially after reading all these avocado tidbits. I'm off to make avocado bruschetta. You sub the usual crusty baguette with an avocado, I believe it's a vegan recipe. Maybe I'll stick a Canadian flag in it. Recipe:


Avocado Bruschetta

1​ avocado
1​ Roma (plum) tomato
1 clove​ garlic, minced
1/4 tsp​ Celtic sea salt (or Himalayan)
3 or 4​ fresh basil leaves, chopped
1/2 tsp ​extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp ​lime juice
10 grams ​(1-1/2 Tbsp) walnut pieces

Cut avocado in half, peel and seed. Place both halves on plate.

Chop tomato and put in small bowl. Add garlic, salt, basil, olive oil and lime juice and toss gently until coated.

Scoop tomato filling mixture over avocado halves. Sprinkle with walnut pieces.

Makes one serving.

 

That sounds yummy and it's raw!
I'll be making this during my raw cleanse for sure!
