I wanted to share a few of the meals we've eaten this week!
First up, boneless rib eye with broccoli rabe and onions
It's not obvious from the photo, but the rabe was amazing. The steak was fantastic, but we eat fantastic steak all the time, the rabe though? I made magic. I started with a spoonful of bacon grease, then after it was hot put in the rabe covered the top with shallot salt and let it melt. After tasting the rabe I realized it was far too bitter to be truly enjoyable. I added some basil but still wasn't sure, I wanted acid and I wanted sweet. I added basalmic vinegar and then sprinkled sugar over it then let that cook on low for another five minutes. I realized then I wanted the sauce I was creating to bind to the leaves since otherwise it wouldn't really meld flavors so I added some cornstarch, stirred it all up and turned the heat off and let it sit for ten minutes.
I can't describe how perfect it was.
Last night I meant to just make foccacia but then there was pizza at work and it accidentally became a pizza, or two ... or three. I made one.
Sunday night we had a fresh cut of swordfish and artichokes.
Jake made a crazy limey dill butter sauce to go with. It was delicious, if a little acidic, but the acidity did pair well with the artichokes. I ate every bit on my plates.
