    Ohhh yes and a stack of protein pancakes for after dinner evening snack. 200cal and 24g protein. Nice.

    jrxd4evydsv5.jpg

    Wow...all that for 200 calories? Is it yogurt on top and did you use your 'doughnut' recipe for the pancakes?

    Just the pancakes.
    Topping is Walden Farms walnut pancake syrup and coconut cool whip. Total as pictured and devoured would be 230 :)

    ohhhh and used this. Very good.

    Grilled iceberg lettuce, cherry tomatoes and ranch. Linguine carbonara made with home cured duck prosciutto. I am cooking my effortless dinner party menu for company in a few weeks of Bagna Cauda (5 minutes), carbonara (10 minutes) and almond macaroons (15 minutes) dipped in amaretto to use up leftover egg white from the carbonara. One of the guys coming for dinner doesn’t eat pork so experimenting with pancetta alternatives for the carbonara.

    This is the carbonara recipe I use.

    If you want to replace pancetta with duck bacon because someone doesn't eat pork, here is a method for curing the duck. I deviate from the recipe by throwing everything into a ziplock bag and using cheaper legs if it going to be diced up for carbonara
    https://www.greatbritishchefs.com/how-to-cook/how-to-cure-duck

    If you need duck prosciutto in neat slices for a charcuterie board, use breasts and also dry it afterwards. I normally cure 48 hours and use a dehydrator for 10 hours with no heat afterwards. But you can also hang in the refrigerator. Am currently experimenting with hanging for two weeks in the refrigerator to compare taste of slower drying. Will hack the hanging by just placing duck in a wire basket over a bowl in such a way that air can circulate around the meat.

Salt cod brandade, truffle mac and cheese, steak tartare with pickled mushrooms, grilled bavette with caramelized cauliflower and sauteed brussel tops, grilled chicken thigh with salsify and dehydrated apricot shavings, confit of pork belly on chickpea and pancetta stew.

    Grilled lettuce:
    Halve or quarter firm lettuce such as baby gem, iceberg, radicchio, romaine hearts, or Belgian endive. Drizzle olive oil on cut sides and grill on a very hot cast iron griddle pan until edges are charred. Serve with ranch, blue cheese dressing, or just a drizzle of balsamico. Good in the summer on an outdoor BBQ so that you have something to eat right away while you wait for meat to cook.

    My super effortless Italian dinner party menu is this:

    Bagna Cauda (5 minutes plus washing and cutting up crudités in advance)
    I usually double the garlic.
    https://www.saveur.com/article/recipes/marcella-hazans-bagna-cauda-anchovy-and-garlic-dip

    Carbonara: (10 minutes while the pasta is cooking)
    I use this recipe, with one egg and one or two yolks for two people. I normally just use streaky bacon instead of harder to find pancetta.
    https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/wordofmouth/2012/may/10/how-to-cook-perfect-spaghetti-carbonara.

    If you need a version for people who don't eat pork here are instructions for curing duck bacon. I put everything in a ziplock bag and normally cure 48 hours. If I am just going to mince it up for carbonara (so it doesn't have to slice neatly) I use cheaper duck legs instead of breasts.
    https://www.greatbritishchefs.com/how-to-cook/how-to-cure-duck

    Bitterkoekjes (15 minutes including 10 minutes baking time)
    Bitterkoekjes or dutch almond macaroons are a good way to use up the leftover egg whites from the carbonara. Recipe is in dutch but watch the video to get an idea of how quick and easy this is. Blitz 150 g each of flaked almonds and confectionary sugar, two egg whites, and a teaspoon of optional almond extract in the food processor. Pop into a ziplock bag. Cut off a corner and pipe 1 inch nipples onto a cookie sheet lined with silicon paper. Bake at 190C for 10 minutes. Serve as a dessert by dipping into shot glasses of amaretto.

    insert awesome specifics here - yum!

    Thank you!!
    I stalk you a little in the least creepy way possible, and really appreciate your attention to prep methods and from-scratch-isms.

    Thanks for taking the time to share those details. It wasn’t wasted - I will definitely use the resources. And I LOVE the Dutch. I worked for an Amsterdam-based company for a while, really loved the high quality dairy and the frank straightforward communication style.
