I've been trying to spend some time in the kitchen lately. With the demands of the new job, I probably won't be cooking much over the next few months. Here is a look back at some of the tastier vittles I've whipped up recently. With the cool temperatures this summer, I've gotten an early start on Braise-Fest 2010.
Braised beef shanks and Brussels sprouts in a pepper cream sauce.
Braised boneless chicken thighs in a rich tomato sauce and seared cauliflower.
A variation on the tomato and chianti-braised lamb shanks with cauliflower and peppers in a spicy cream sauce.
Indian night! Spicy spinach and potato. I grilled the marinated potatoes on the Q (mistake) for a while before finishing them on the stove top. The onions and potatoes were sautéed in ghee and then the spinach was mixed in. I added yogurt and spices (tumeric, garam masala, Cayenne, garlic powder) and cooked until the sauce tightened up a little.
The chicken was marinated in yogurt with garam masala, tumeric and Cayenne. I grilled the boneless breasts over high heat on the Q.
I'll probably be eating too much fast food for the next month or so. Hopefully I'll be cooking up some venison and wild pig next month.
