What's Cooking?

             Is everyone on a diet or something?  Ness are you refinishing your deck before you post any more meals? 

 Black trumpet - crusted walleye with roasted almonds and lemon vinaigrette,

     Not only is the crust shroomy the fish is on a base of black trumpets and almonds cooked in butter Took a tip from RPS and cooked some orzo for the new batch of pesto we made this morning. Added some diced homegrown tomatoes and sliced green onions to that orzo/pesto mix. Fish was started in grapeseed oil on stovetop then the crust slathered on the top and finished under the broiler. Tip even setting it under the broiler for two minutes watch it close. Glad I checked early it browned up pretty quick,

Did not post Saturday night's meal. Bacon, basil, and fresh corn pasta with a cheesy cream sauce.

 

I am about to put a skirt steak on the grill to sear and served with mushy herbed small potatoes and a cantaloupe salad. Pictures later.

I love a seared med rare skirt steak.

Been pretty dull food wise here. Last night whipped up some stuffed mushrooms. Stems, onion sautéed. Added panko, Parmesan cheese, cream cheese and crab meat. Pretty good but not great. 

Made pizza dough yesterday then cooked them today on the Weber with the KettlePizza attachment.

I’ve never bought skirt steak. Seems like it’s always got some grey fat running through it. Don’t mind fat, but the grey kinda turns me off. Really only checked it out a few times. May be a quirk. Love flank steak medium rare. One of the most flavorful cuts of beef I think.

Lunch today was a bit of a throwback to days of bachelor hood, deer camps, and gravel bars.  Some leftover smoked beef roast (chopped up) a diced onion, a few boiled taters and plenty of seasoning.  Formed into a sort of patty and put into a skillet with some garlic flavored olive oil.  Got a decent crust on some of it, wife wouldn't let me finish it with a can of baked beans on top, had to have them separately.  But was pretty tasty, seasonings the best I can recall were house seasoning (salt, pepper,garlic powder), cavenders and some brisket rub mix just because I happen to spot it while putting it all together.  

 

Reminds me of a dish a buddy used to prepare on camping trips when we were younger. Affectionately called ‘Mike’s Taters and Sh*t’. 😄

Nope. Had fun anyway.

That cantaloupe salad looks good! What else is in it!

Since the cantaloupe was ripe and tasty, I did not mess with it. I added a bit of cucumber for texture and basil because we have too much in our deck pots, plus salt and cracked pepper.
