Sometimes the simplest meals are the best meals.
A lot of ingredients in one dish can over complicate things and it may have to much going on. (Sometimes)
You'll have to tell me how you prepared that meal. I like to make simple meals for my family when time is of the essence.

Default Dinner Tonight

Since I have frozen fava beans in my fridge, I'm making a recipe I found on Gourmates.com:

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2 large garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
1/8 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1/2 pound Italian sausages, casings removed
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 3/4 cups chopped plum tomatoes
1 cup shelled fresh fava beans (from about 1 pound), blanched 3 minutes then peeled, or double-peeled frozen, thawed
3/4 pound fresh pasta sheets, cut as desired, or dried egg fettuccine
2 tablespoons finely grated Pecorino Romano cheese plus additional for passing

Basically combine all that in a pan, cook up some pasta. Mmmmm delish!

A pretty simple dinner but really good.

Took all the skin off a whole chicken, spread a spicy bbq sauce on it, roasted it in the oven, and put raw bacon on it the last 15 minutes. Had some of that chicken on rice with peas on the side. There's leftovers for tomorrow. Yummy for an easy meal. I ate all the bacon tho I'm just cooking for 1 (me).

I thought this would turn out good but it turned out better than good, delicious. Something I made up.

2 T soybean oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 t Penzey's "Turkish seasoning" which is made of S&P, cumin, oregano, paprika, sumac, hot pepper, and cilantro
1 can black-eyed peas, 15.5 0z, rinsed
About a cup of diced tomatoes (I used canned)
1 slice bacon, raw, cut into about 6 pieces
1 whole dried pasilla chile, cleaned and rinsed and broken up into 10 pieces or so
Juice of 1 Key lime (a small round one about the size of a golf ball)
1.5 cup cooked basmati rice

Heat the oil in a 2-3 qt sauce pan. Put in the chopped garlic about 2 minutes, stirring. Add the "Turkish seasoning" and let it sit a minute.

Add the blackeyed peas, the diced tomatoes, bacon, Pasilla chile and lime juice. Cook about 15 minutes on medium heat, uncovered. It should turn out to be beans in a thick sauce about like baked beans.

Spread the cooked rice on top, cover and cook another 15 minutes on medium, agitating the pan every 1-2 minutes. (My way of agitating was holding the handle and wiggling it back and forth).

Mix and serve.

I doubt anybody here will follow my recipe but it might give a good idea or 2 of ways to make beans and rice.

The DW and DD had open-faced Hot RB sands made from yesterdays supper leftovers and I had Red beans and rice with andoullie sausage that was part of the freezer cleanout today. Nice version there Yeti. Being in the southeast/mid-atlantic that recipe sure wouldn't fly but being as I love Pasilla chilies and key Lime in my southwest stuff it is a nice variation.

Tonight was a continuation of the freezer clean-up. Nothing to exciting. Found a nice flank so it was marinated some home-made Teriyaki, a bone in pork chop I cut from a rack and marinated in some NC BBQ sauce, a sirloin steak (both were odd ones left) I cut a couple weeks ago and aged. Unfortunately it was getting too much age (whatever Costco did and I added another 25 days) so it was part of the freezer clean.....

Some au gratin potatoes and Southern style green beans (simmered in pork stock form you guessed it....) were the sides.


Anyhow it was a decent pot luck steak and chop night. BTW the Sirloin, was outstanding and tennnnnnnder. Very nice flavor. The DD even loved it and I was afraid it would have been just a bit too much for her. She did go for seconds on both it and the teriyaki.

Tomorrow is Pasta night. I've got some fresh pasta (tagliatelle) and either marinara or meat sauce I made a while back and threw in the freezer. Both those seem to hold up pretty well especially using the FoodSaver.

Still have a week to go in getting things down to a more manageable state. That is considering we have two of them to clean out, freezers that is. I know there's allot of chicken, charros bean soup and sauces in there so it could get interesting. There's even a ham bone floating somewhere in there.

Not that anyone cares but the main reason for the clean out is it's now Hurricane season here and best to have little food in them should something like what happened in 2003 happen with'em full. The area was without power for over a week and we're still trying to swing that generator.

Been stocking up on the less perishables so when winter comes it's the opposite.

Last night I made Asian inspired fish sticks (to appease the kids, and me, all at the same time). I used rockfish, cut into thin strips, and coated it in a mix of: rice flour, Panko, toasted sesame seeds, garlic salt, pepper, and Chinese mustard powder. I used a sesame-ginger dressing for the dip, and they were awesome! Served with fried rice and BBQ pork.
