I'm not a fascist. I'm a priest. Fascists dress up in black and tell people what to do.
I tried making something american, a meatball hoagie.

Starting with the meatballs, 50/50 beef pork meatballs, salt, pepper, eggs and loads of pecorino romano.


After browning I start on the sauce:




After cooking and reducing


Loading up the bread with mozzarellla and some other stuff I found in the fridge


Unfortunately they went pretty fast, barely got a photo of one:


I think these were some of the best meatballs I have ever made. I don't think the bread was the best, not soft enough, wanted to split in two. Ideally I should make my own. wish I had gotten more sauce into them, but it was pretty good and drat filling.

Wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma


Christmas Dinner 2018

Each year I try some new ideas and cooking - one of the blessings of not being bound to turkey. This year my dad requested something with less butter (and no foie gras, boooo!), so I looked for inspiration to my trip to the Greek Islands, Ikaria in particular.

Wines:

1. Mumm classic brut champagne with the amuse
2. Afianes Begleri 2012, almost a Georgian orange wine. Very complex with orange, wild ferment, fennel and bittersweet. With courses 1,2 and 3
3. Gaia Assyrtiko Wild Ferment 2017. Dry, volcanic white from Santorini.
4. Afianes Icarus 2010, subtle red with the lamb and cheese courses
5. Dessert wine (can't remember, my dad brought it) with the cake.

Amuse: Honey roasted brussel sprouts with chestnut dip



Tuna tartare, beets, citrus jellies and candied hazelnut bits



Filo pastries with sweet potato, feta, caramalised onions and with a spiced pine honey dressing



Persimmon, feta, and candied walnut arugula salad



Seabass with fava puree and wine-braised cherry tomato, fennel and red onion



Lamb fillet with Greek grandmother-style roast potatoes and garlic-roasted beefsteak tomato



(I forgot to photograph the cheese course)

Tyropita Christmas cake with mastica, chocolate and orange flavouring



There were also Kouraibides cookies (almond and brandy shorts) with the espresso after.

Terrible page to be posting this on, compared to the last couple dinners, but my first crack at SV beef tenderloin came out alright. Wish I had gotten the pan hotter before I seared it but I already smoked out our guests from the first, overcooked-by-design half of the cut. 140*F for about 3.5 hours for this, it was extremely delicious. I also did a full half-sheet of Brussels sprouts and several pounds of mashed garlic potatoes.

I just bring in tenderloins fresh but use this recipe as my basis for the coating. Once you've fried them you can even use a bottle sauce, they're basically breaded nuggets and all you have to do is get the sauce piping hot and toss them in the wok. I've done their's and I've used a pre made bottle too from the store when I was lazy.

My next time I'm gonna modify the coating to be spiced with like cayenne or something.

But spaghettios are a guilty pleasure. If I'm camping I will eat those suckers right out the can. No idea why.

Made Kenji's Detroit-style pizza. A friend was in the midwest last week and brought some brick cheese, got the pan for Christmas.

It is friggin' delicious. Could have tried to get the pepperoni a little more crisp but I was worried about burning the crust.

Yay I made crepes for the first time and they were edible. They had a creamy chicken, mushroom and asparagus filing. I didn't really know how to flip them or cook them since I don't really eat crepes so it was a bit experimental. At least after the first failed one I was able to get them out of the pan.

My first attempt was a little blob of sad looking batter. It doesn't help that I don't really like pancakes so never make them.

Savoury crepes on the other hand turned out to be delicious and will be being made again.

It's hard to go wrong with Kenji as your first stop when trying out something new. He has some recipes I find a little under-flavored, and his Sichuan recipes can be questionable, but he has a high batting average overall.

I got a precision cooker for Christmas to go with the dutch over my girlfriend got me. So of course I tried some sous vide cooking.

Cheap-rear end $4 sirloin @ 130 degrees for 2.5 hours, seared on both sides afterward.



I didn't really expect it to taste as great as it did, so I didn't decorate it up much. But look at that lovely medium rare. I'll try rare next time.

Slice some mushrooms really thin and put them in the batter. Whack on some ham and cheese after you flip, add spinach if you want it. Great combo.

That's a rare to me! But looks good, by precision cooker do you mean some kinda pot with built-in sous vide?

No, the sous vide device was labeled as a precision cooker. If you know Binging with Babish, it's the same model he uses. I attached it to my dutch oven as the pot.

I never post pictures of anything because (1) my phone camera is lousy and (2) I'm a terrible photographer and my house has zero good lighting. But I wanted to share this recipe because of just how good it was. I went to the farmers market today and there was a stand selling fowl and other meats from raised animals that are really hard to come by unless you're a hunter yourself.

So I bought 2 partridges and made a partridge pie.

I really enjoy the Townsends youtube channel and historic recipes from the 17th-19th century. I tried to follow this as closely as I could. Honestly, just reading the recipe was the hardest part of the whole thing. These old-timey recipes have no measurements and most instructions are a sentence long at best.

Filling:
Pluck and butcher 2 partridges
2 carrots
1 sweet onion
1/2 a large turnip
2 celery stalks

Simmer in a pot. Add a few tbs of flour and butter to make your roux. How much exactly? I dunno, doesn't say. I went with 3. Then 1/2c water and let it simmer while you make the crust. it should be a very thick stew. Add thyme and ground nutmeg to taste. Be very generous with the nutmeg.

Crust:
"Add flour and butter to water until a dough is formed."

That's the recipe. I did 3tbs cold butter in 1 1/4c flour, cut the butter in with my hands, and just added water until the dough came together.

"Bake until finished."

Ok. I did 425F for about 35mins. I didn't have the confidence to do this in the cast iron over the fire for the first time. I used a glass dish and a conventional oven. And yeah, a pie shield. I shouldn't have used it but eh whatever.

edit:



I told you I'm bad at taking pictures. But I couldn't even get a cross section or photo of it plated because it was gone that quickly. The recipe had no salt or pepper, no garlic, no other spices and it somehow didn't need them. There are tons of ways to build on what is essentially a pot pie. But it was so simple and good just the way it is.

Yup, definitely Townsends. Interesting fellow from my neck of the woods.

Also that pie looks fantastic. And fairly healthy, too?

Thanks! :) And yeah, I guess it is. If I made that like I would usually, that filling would have cream and hunks of butter, the crust would have all the lard.

When we ate it it wasn't like a flavor explosion, but a feeling of wholesome contentment.
