I have my peppers and egg plants stuffed and ready to go.....but not hungry yet! Will make mashed potatoes to go with them.....I like that combination! The little egg plant out of my own garden were so cute.....and firm and not at all bitter...I tasted while I cooked up the stuff I scooped out and cooked with the stuffing mixture. I am psyched.
O.K. tonight it's lemon peppered Chicken breasts in the oven baking. I've already finished making my "Texas" potato salad. Corn on the cob boiling on top the stove. Wrote down my potato salad ingredients as promised ....now where to post recipe. Maybe Kats thread where the pickle war is raging??..or here....
Snapper filets cooked in a pan with olive oil and garlic. When almost done add on top diced tomatoes, a few capers, and lemon zest. Fresh parsley on top.
I am having those with sauteed green beans (blanched first, then sauteed with a bit of garlic and fresh tarragon).
The whole thing is a 30 minutes job, between prep and cooking. I have opened a bottle of Vouvrier 2007 by Barton and Guestier. By the way, this white wine is a great value (at least here in SoFla) and it's great even before dinner with a little cheese (or with nothing!). Cost per bottle is around $ 10.00, this is another underrated wine.
However, note that the grape is Chenin Blanc. For those who don't know it, it's a bit on the sweet side (not too much, it's not "moscato") but make sure you refrigerate the bottle and bring it fown to 65 degrees max, as at room temperature it can be bland.
So tired and need to work some more...so cooking up some brats with onion, peppers (I need to use up)...and maybe stealing Elston's mashed potato idea...add some ranch, cheese, and maybe bacon to them to smile nicely at the brats...
Tonight is Pepper and Honey Duck with Farro and Fennel. It's in the oven now.
