BAM! This monster of a serving is the first vegetarian dish we’ve tried and it was a beast!
Fattoush Salad with Crispy Chickpeas
Crispy Tilapia with Sautéed Zucchini, Green Beans and Tomato (Plated)
Thanks, Plated. The vegetables were delicious, though the green beans needed to cook longer than the zucchini. The breading on the fish was AWESOME though I doubted the technique would work at all. I was wrong. Continue reading “Crispy Tilapia with Sautéed Zucchini, Green Beans and Tomato (Plated)”
Soy-Glazed Beef with Cucumber and Sticky Rice
Home run! Plated’s Soy-Glazed Beef with Cucumber and Sticky Rice was a hit. Continue reading “Soy-Glazed Beef with Cucumber and Sticky Rice”
Grilled Burgers with Sauteed Onions, Havarti and Arugula
Early a.m. work @ 03:00. Errands around town with #3. Friends. Pool. Grilled burgers (sautéed onions, havarti cheese and arugula). Those string “pop” things with the littles in the back yard. Crash on the sofa by 21:00.
Didn’t see or hear a single explosion. Zero complaints. Continue reading “Grilled Burgers with Sauteed Onions, Havarti and Arugula”
Poached Eggs over English Muffin
Flying solo today with all 4 kids. Planted the boys in front of phones and Monet watching Teletubbies for 15 minutes so I can get my first – and probably only – chance to eat while sitting down.
Basted eggs over havarti cheese on English muffins soaked in Tapatio. — at Owens Dining Laboratories.
Beef Kebabs with Cucumber, Mint & Dill Salad with Saffron Basmati Rice
Inspired by a Cooking Lite recipe. The lean ground sirloin turned out just a little too dry so I’ll need to make some adjustments there. Good stuff, though. We’re full. — at Owens Dining Laboratories.
Top Sirloin, Roasted Potatoes and Broccoli
Dinner bomb deployed. Top sirloin medium (by request), roasted potatoes and a forest of steamed broccoli.
Blonde potatoes, cubed to 1” and tossed first with olive oil, 1-2 tbsp, just enough to lightly coat. Kosher salt and pepper and roast for 20 min at 450F. Pan sear the steaks in cast iron for 4-5 min per side. Allow to rest. Broccoli needs 12 minutes in 1/2 cup boiling water while covered.
Rapid fire and we’re full.
Shrimp Coconut Curry
Plated, you’re starting to really frustrate me. Shrimp Coconut Curry, with squash, corn and millet is just a miss.
Blackened Cod with Corn “Salad”
Plated’s Blackened Cod with Garlic Aioli and Corn….salad(?)
The corn, tomato and avocado salad/side/thing was AWESOME! Make this! This needs to be in your summer BBQ go-to. The blackened cod was also really good.
The only change I would recommend is cutting the cayenne in half, then starting with half of that. Plated seems to over-deliver with this single ingredient with every single recipe. It’s always far more than is necessary so tread lightly.
Chicken with Farro and Three-herb Pistou
Plated’s Pan-Roasted Chicken with Farro and Three-Herb Pistou.
Decent. Nothing too far out of the way of convenience. The name makes it sound deceivingly complicated. Continue reading “Chicken with Farro and Three-herb Pistou”
