Marinara sauce with added Italian sausage over red lentil fusilli and kale caesar salad (from Josie's Organics). I thought the red lentil fusilli was the most pasta like of all of the gluten free alternatives I've tried. The nice thing is it's "fresh" rather than dried so it cooks in about two minutes. Texture was perfectly al dente with no graininess and there wasn't any lentil flavor. My partner said if I hadn't told him it was red lentil he would have thought it was regular wheat pasta. This is a win.
I am surprised that Cambodian beef lok lak is not a better known dish. I make it once every two months or so, but always think "I forgot how good this is". I don't miss not doing the optional rice.
Vietnamese food night. Pomelo salad followed by pho. We didn't have beansprouts in the house so just substituted some chopped endive for topping the pho.
Starter of salad with pears, blue cheese, candied nuts and vinaigrette. Main of linguine in cuttlefsh ink sauce. Memories of dragging home supermarket items such as the cuttlefish ink on our last day of vacation in Italy, back when travel still existed.
Grilled pork chop, salad of romaine, purple cabbage, green olives, olive oil & balsamico, acorn squash with seasoning of curry power, garlic salt, pepper & butter. I haven't had acorn squash since I was a kid because I never liked it back then but decided to give it a try again. I like it OK though I like butternut more.
@LazyBlondeChef While I don't buy acorn squash often either, I do find that using them as bowls for proteins (like ground beef, shredded meats, etc) makes it fun.
Basically, all the recipes people use for stuffed peppers can work for this squash!
Salad with pears, St Agur, candied nuts, and vinaigrette followed by risotto with ham, peas and parmesan which is probably more Anglican than Italian. Finally using up the last of the Christmas leftovers with the gammon from Xmas Eve and the stock made from the goose carcass from Xmas day.
