rockfish with roasted fennel 04/15/23

drizzled just a bit of olive oil over the top of the filet, then sprinkled a good amount of the Za'Atar mix and Sumax over the fish, drizzled a bit of lemon juice over it, and baked it sealed in parchment at 400° F for 17 minutes. end result was okay, but I think I went a bit heavy-handed on the Za'Atar mix, which overpowered the flavor of the fish. still experimenting with this stuff.

following up on my previous post here - that red stuff in the jar on the right is called "An-TEEK-ah". I still haven't quite figured out the Cyrillic alphabet, but that's what I was told by the lady who rang it up. I figured I'd better grab a bottle of each for a buddy of mine - it's that good. the red "hot sauce" has a really delightful flavor - deep, smoky - not "blow your head off" stuff. looks like I'm going to need another jar soon. Northern Fish had mussels on sale. I think they have clams on sale this week. Yum Yum!

There used to be a restaurant in Westport - "Constantine's" (?) - run by a Greek gentleman who would cook me up a mess of oysters like this - dredged in Thyme - right before closing. I don't think the place is there any more.

pan-fried beef tenderloin with farfalle 03/09/23

went up and cooked dinner for Mom this night. broiled lamb chops with mango-ginger-cherry chutney, roasted beet and prune salad, oyster mushrooms, and steamed kale 01/17/23

* tried different combinations on the beet-prune salad. I think I like it best with crumbled feta, a little olive oil, a drizzle of balsamic glaze, and fresh cilantro. YMMV
