Chicken lok lak with khmer lime and pepper sauce. Traditionally, Cambodian lok lak is made with beef but works well with chicken too.

You had me at Khmer lime 😋

The khmer lime and pepper sauce is outrageously easy, low calorie (no oil) and surprisingly delicious given how simple it is. Great on steak, eggs, fish and shellfish too. Salt content in recipe below is quite high. I would add salt and sugar to taste. For a teaspoon of ground pepper and the juice of a lime I normally add a big pinch of salt and two big pinches of sugar.

I got my first jab of the covid vaccine after work, so hubby cooked again tonight. I forgot to photograph starter of salad with pear and candied nuts. Main of dutch zuurkool stampot (=mash with sauerkraut) and some meatballs and rookworst (=smoked sausage). I will cook tomorrow because hubby says three nights in a row of cooking has exhausted his kitchen repertoire.

If I visit you for dinner, please invite me on your cooking night!

@acpgee What can I do with a big box of spinach leaves. I sauteed up a big pan and made an omelette. I tried to cover the taste with pico and hatch chile salsa. I'm eating a big pan of all kinds of greens every day. I started that a few weeks ago. I'm not doing it for volume eating but for something else. It's really working but I don't like the taste of spinach. How can I smother it.

I freeze my spinach and then take it out in small batches to add to my smoothies

We had a snack at a streetfood stall during our afternoon walk so didn't need much dinner. Salad with croutons, blue cheese, pear and candied walnuts and pumpkin seeds. I no longer keep tins of croutons in the pantry as I discovered making them real time is very quick and easy. Melt a teaspoon or two of butter in a large-ish bowl in the microwave while you cube a slice of bread. Toss bread cubes in the melted butter and then toast 5 minutes in the air fryer while you assemble salad.

Everything, za'atar, and Persian blue salt bagels. The bagels turned out on the small side but were tasty.

First grill of the season: hotdogs and buns and macaroni salad. I straight up forgot the eggs in the salad so I hardboiled some today to add to the leftovers lol

We did this tonight, replacing cabbage with courgette because the hubby strugles to digest brassicas. It would have been more attractive if we bothered to peel the carrots and new potatoes. I only brined the beef for 4.5 days. The first time I made the salt beef I brined for 7 days according to recipe and found it too salty.

Risotto with leeks and spicy andouille sausage. This is a Brazilian recipe and ended up extremely creamy but the flavor was excellent. Aside from the leeks it included white wine, onion, parm, lemon zest and lemon juice. It called for linguiça calabrese but that's not anything I can find locally.

Hubby cooked. Made rice in the rice cooker, warmed up some beef rendang we had in the freezer and made some salads using dressings we keep in squeeze bottles in the fridge. Goma (=black sesame) on the cucumber and lalab (=ketjap manis, prawn sambal, garlic and lemon) on the tomato.

We thought we were out of venison but I found one more sirloin in the freeze, so we took it out with a bang. Marinated and seared venison sirloin, fajita veggies, Mexican rice, and avocado. Absolutely awesome!
