My nephew got married today so we had dinner at the reception, which was fettuccine Alfredo with chicken breast, mixed green salad with ranch dressing, tomato basil bow tie pasta and a slice of garlic bread. Orange-infused ice water to drink.
In about 20 minutes, when DH and DS return home, I am trying something new, that is in one of the cook books that I received for Christmas.
It looks very good. It's called Shakshouka - a west Africa dish.
Here is the recipe -
1 T hot paprika
1.5 tsp ground corriander
1 tsp cumin
1 cup diced onion.
2 garlic cloves minced.
1 jalapeno chiiele minced
1 and a half cups of diced tomatoes (I am using canned organic tomatoes)
3 TBS tomato paste
Sea Salt or Kosher salt to taste.
Black ground pepper to taste.
4 large eggs.
1/4 cup chapped flat leaf parsley.
Serve with warmed pita bread and a green salad.
1. In a large pan combine all of the first ingredients (not eggs and pita)
2. Let simmer.
3. With a large spoon make 4 wells in the tomato mixture
4. Crack an egg i each. Lightly season with salt and pepper.
5. Cover and cook for 5 minutes - or until eggs are set.
Love shakshuka! We had it last week with some good crusty bread. Yummy!
Tonight the husband says he is making beef and broccoli. I am guessing he will serve with rice and chow mein noodles as that's what he did last time he made this.
We are all going to Mantorville, MN to celebrate DH's post-Christmas birthday. The Hubbell House is one of the oldest restaurants in the state and its food and serving style are of note. It is close to Rochester, MN and has long served the doctors of the Mayo Clinic as a place to entertain.
It looks from the pictures like once upon a time the building was more pleasing to the eye. But there are interesting things to observe both inside and out. The front steps, made of local stone, have actually been worn down into footprints with all the years of use. And the guest book is chock full of names from early MN and U.S. history.
I've included a menu if anyone is interested. If you have time to read and are interested you might enjoy the brief history section. And check out their hot and cold appetizer section.
