What's for Dinner, Tues., April 2, 2024

[NJCher]

Roasted beet, walnut, and goat cheese salad made with romaine.

Tortelloni en brode with prosciutto-cheese tortelloni, asparagus, toasted almonds. Chives, scallions. Lemon juice over the top. I am improving this recipe, which I tried for the first time about a week ago. The secret, I've decided, is a homemade vegetable broth.

No sugar Pepsi cherry because it's raining and I'd have to go to the greenhouse for more pomegranate kombucha. Nope.

Strawberry milkshake for dessert.

---------

on edit: I added 1/3 cup of burrata to the soup dish before pouring the tortellonis and broth over it.

1. Coq au vin.

Marinated in red wine, chicken drumsticks, carrots, celery, onions and garlic with thyme sprigs.
Browned drumsticks with veggies and wine to start. Crimini mushrooms sauted in bacon fat and butter. Pearl onions softened in chicken broth.
Reduced sauce over whipped Yukon gold potatoes.
Four meals for us.

16. I took to the Ina Garten recipe a few times, but returned

to my old way where I soak the chicken over night in the wine.
It is a labor of love making your own comfort food.
We had a delivery of a new bathroom vanity this evening and the guy said our kitchen smelled like a restaurant.
You would be hard pressed to find a better coq au vin.

2. Ham, green beans, potatoes, salad

and dinner roll.

Good Evening

3. Chicken pot pie

Homemade from scratch. It’s been the perfect way for us to hang out this cold and rainy afternoon.

Chardonnay and left-over birthday cake for dessert. (The Landlady keeps trying to catch up to my age!)

5. Tried an Orange Honey glaze on chicken thighs

Bought a bag of clementines last week and that’s *a lot* of oranges for one person! I’ve had my fill, so looked online for a chicken recipe using oranges or orange juice.

This was tasty! I made adjustments, of course!

It called for honey, brown sugar, orange juice, apple cider vinegar, chili powder, coriander, and cumin, simmered for 30 min until it cooked down into a glaze. I don’t have any cumin or coriander, so left those out and added a drizzle of soy sauce and a little bit of diced onion towards the end of the simmering. Cooked the thighs in the air fryer and spooned some glaze on at the end for 3 min. Thought it would be too sweet (it definitely was when I dipped my finger in the glaze pan) but once cooked onto the chicken it was just right. Will be making again.

Jasmine rice and garlicky broccoli as the sides.

8. that sounds like my kind of glaze

Gonna' try it. Thanks for being so detailed about the ingredients.

Re bags of clementines, I use some of mine as a combo with pineapple in kombucha. It's such a pleasant experience--the aromas of the fruit and the pineapple.

18. Tropical Black Bean Bowl

I've been trying to incorporate more vegan recipes to my diet, so I got a free box from the Green Chef.

"We’re making it even easier to whip up a quick, satisfying hot lunch any day of the week! A highlight of this dish is the cabbage, mango, and tomato slaw, dressed in an herby chimichurri sauce and sprinkled with crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick. It adds fresh tropical flavors to a hearty heap of Cuban-spiced black beans and rice, and garnishes of sweet corn and crunchy almonds."
