Quick snack: hummus with chipotle in adobo (I winged it) served on a piece of yellow bell pepper, with a sprinkling of smoked paprika. Yum!

Do you need to use special oats (steel cut?) or a special treatment to get that risotto like texture? Years ago I had an oat risotto in a fancy restaurant served with dashi stock, green herb oil, pan fried fish, and crisp fish skin crackling and loved it. I still need to try to re-create that dish.0 -
@acpgee I used Bob’s Red Mill Protein Oats, they are smaller and harder than the Quaker Old-Fashioned that I usually use. Not sure if that’s helpful since you’re not in the US, maybe look for small rolled oats, or high-protein oats? I cooked them on the stove with veggie bouillon, no special treatment. That dish you had sounds fabulous!1

Spaghetti with a little pot of artichoke/truffle we dragged back from a vacation in Bologna last year, stretched with a little sauteed Chinese chive and the last couple of cherry tomatoes lying around. Cheddar and broccoli crisps, and grilled courgette.

Once in a while, I cook something that is so atrocious, the only reason I tell people about it is to warn them not to make the same mistake. I present to you: Ginger-Turmeric Bone Broth with Greens
I don't understand what went wrong, because this seems like it should have been a nice comforting broth, and I usually love Yewande Komolafe's food. But it really is horrible. I used mustard greens, but the broth itself is so bad, it wouldn't have mattered what greens I used.
Honestly, the only good thing about this was that it was hot. Yuck.4 -

I don't understand why this broth would be so awful. That said, my husband hates it when I put ginger in this lazy broth for a simple soup with greens.

Braised Lamb Shanks with Peppers -- hearty comfort food. I ate this in small servings throughout the week, reheated with some roasted Brussels Sprouts or topped with a handful of chopped romaine. It wasn't quite good to make it into my permanent rotation, but I did like it. I imagine it would be great with the potato noodles featured in the article, but since I'm eating low-carb, I didn't try those.

One-Pot Braised Chicken with Coconut Milk, Tomato, and Ginger (good, though I forgot to add the cilantro garnish) plus a version of Callaloo which was not as good as other versions I've tried. The flavors are a bit off, and the texture was too watery, for lack of a better word. I don't think I will repeat either one of these recipes, but the chicken was the clear winner out of these two.

Brisket sous vide in a Korean marinade last month pulled out of the freezer. Air fryer roast courgette and Belgian endive. Potato pave.

Stole a page from my mom's book who put 3 stir fries on the table every night by judicious use of leftovers. Leftover beef with garlic and pepper warmed up in the microwave, green beans sauteed in leftover bagna cauda sauce, pomelo salad using dressing from last week's batch, seitan stir fry made from scratch tonight. Brown rice.

Gai yang drumsticks where I froze the chicken in the marinade. Defrosting overnight in the marinade is much quicker than first defrosting and then marinating overnight and gives similar results. Pomelo salad from the batch made earlier in the week, stir fried cabbage, Portuguese carrots, air fryer oven chips.

As always, looks yumtacular!
~ gr8 marinate as defrosting tip, ty @acpgee. Will be using!
Q ~ made a quick 'n easy cup of stir fry sauce/marinade from broth, a fast food packet of soy sauce, packet of chili sauce, honey packet & corn starch. Froze excess, and noticed liquids separated in the freezing. Thoughts?

Whenever I make marinades, salad dressings and favourite stir fry sauces I make extra and store in the fridge in squeeze bottles. It’s easy having them on hand. I will use jars for sauces that contain lumpy ingredients such as chopped onions or chillies. Most are made with non perishable ingredients and even the ones containing yoghurt or coconut milk last longer than the raw ingredients due to high salt or sugar content.
PS. I would expect corn starch to separate as this even happens within an hour of making stir fry sauces which need stirring to mix in the settled corn starch before tossing into the wok.

Fridays are the evening we eat out as the hubby is convinced it makes the weekend feel longer. We went to a new discount sushi place in the hood.
