What's For Dinner?

[crossfire]

I'm trying to decide between Peruvian style mayacoba beans and cornbread or carne asada. It's cold and drizzly outside, so I'm leaning toward the beans and cornbread.

My daughter and I made Mexican street corn nachos last night.

Not much tonight, open a pack of frozen Indian stir fry, steam some rice and make a madras curry sauce.

And apple crumble which is in the oven now.

I normally don't cook French food. But I was bored and wanted something different tonight. Chicken was the protein so what to make? I saw this chicken cassoulet recipe and had to give it a shot:

Cassoulet for Today

French cassoulet is traditionally cooked for hours. This version of the rustic dish offers the same homey taste in less time. It’s easy on the wallet too. —Virginia Anthony, Jacksonville, Florida

I am sure that they took improper shortcuts, but it was still amazing.

What's in the beans?

I have made those a few times. They are very good beans with their own flavor. I use my basic black bean recipe. Wash the beans, Put them in a pot of water and let it heat up. Chop a yellow onion up and about five cloves of garlic and let it cook. When the beans are getting soft, after an hour or two, I chop up another had of yellow onion and caramelize them with a slow cook using olive oil and towards then end throw in another two or three minced cloves of garlic. Salt. Maybe some pepper. Cumin. If you want to add a serrano pepper to the your onions that you are browning. That should be finely chopped too. In no way will it make it hot, but you get a hint of a kick from it.

Last night had Massaman curry lamb shanks, slow cooked. Pretty good.
Even better, I had basketball training after work, so I arrived home at 9pm to find dinner ready, and my father in law over with a good bottle of red.

I had a Red Baron individual cheese pizza topped with queso fresco, diced onion, and fresh green chili slices.

This is a really great method! Verrrrrry tasty! If you don't eat bacon, you can use butter instead.

You can hardly go wrong.

I am probably going to have crackers in organic milk again - I am sort of on a tear.

You can buy fresh rainbow trout in the supermarket Okay, I would never suggest that. I have had fresh caught trout. I have bought supermarket "fresh" trout. There is a world of difference and I am jealous.
