drat it, just hosed up a batch of injera I had been fermenting for three days.
Got the sour taste PERFECT, but it wasn't quite bubbly enough, and my batter was a little too thick, and most of my injera ended up a little wet in the middle. grumble grumble grumble

There is no replacing that slow fermented taste, though.

I get to host Italian Christmas this year, and I'm wondering what to do for the meat. I did fresh ham last time (it's a 4 year cycle)

For some reason, veal popped into my head, but I don't know what the would look like. A big platter of veal scaloppine with mushrooms, served family style?

Maybe veal chops? or lamb chops?

My favourite summer salad is basically cold succotash-esque. Corn, black beans, onions, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, parsley, cilantro, sometimes mint, lime, avocado. If you have a grill getting the corn charred is great. If not, cook in the microwave before shucking, then cut off the bottom and squeeze the cob out for the stress-free-est way to cook corn on the cub. Slice it off and use a torch to char if you have one.

This cucumber salad isn't exactly a meal, but it is a really nice little side dish. Good for hot days.

We do a summer salad of watermelon, cucumber, feta cheese, and lots of fresh dill. Keeps you super cool and feeling good.

My sister in law does this with a bit of balsamic vinaigrette to dress it and serves it with tortilla chips. So good.

Risotto Milanese is the traditional dish paired with Osso Buco, and it really works extremly well. That said, som crispy oven potatoes or maybe a nice mash would not really be out of place either, with the added bonus of offendin various online Italians.

Edit: I also assume the presence of nice crusty bread, for sauce duty.

Yeah, sometimes I’ll add a glug of oil, but it’s why I like the avocados and lime - they add the fat and acid.

Large swathes of India are pretty hot for a lot of the time and thus the vast majority of Indian food can be cooked in an Instant Pot, plus about 30 seconds of stovetop stuff sometimes. Stop on by the Indian thread sometime.

Greek salad is nice and refreshing. No lettuce to wilt so you can chop it all up in the morning when it's cool and let it sit in the fridge until dinner. Save the dressing until meal time.

quote:

2 large English cucumbers
2 cups cherry tomatoes
¼ red onion
½ bell pepper
½ cup black olives
½ cup green olives

salt and pepper to taste
4 oz feta
1 tsp dry oregano

Dressing:
¼ cup red wine vinegar
¼ cup olive oil

Panzanella salad is a nice way to use up any old bread you have laying around.
It benefits from resting for a long time in the fridge.

4 ounces ciabatta or baguette, preferably stale, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 3 cups)

6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, more to taste

¾ teaspoon kosher sea salt, more to taste

2 pounds very ripe tomatoes, preferably a mix of varieties and colors

6 ounces fresh mozzarella, torn or cut into bite-size pieces

½ cup thinly sliced red onion, about half a small onion

2 garlic cloves, grated to a paste

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, more to taste

1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano or thyme (or a combination)

 Large pinch red pepper flakes (optional)

½ teaspoon Dijon mustard

 Black pepper, to taste

½ cup thinly sliced Persian or Kirby cucumber, about 1 small cucumber

½ cup torn basil leaves

¼ cup flat-leaf parsley leaves, roughly chopped

1 tablespoon capers, drained

Re hot weather food, making salads made with couscous and quinoa is good too as they are minimal cooking and eat well cold.
Also look at Vietnamese food as there is loads of tasty salads and food to eat cold that are packed with flavour and freshness from a lot of herbs.

Yeah, or bulgur. Add some roast vegetables (maybe roasted with harissa) chickpeas and/or feta or grilled halloumi, and the key ingredient t if lots of fresh mint

Never salt your veg until eating too!

Edit: Also I'd suggest BLOTs for summer sandwiches because tomatoes are good in the summer depending on the variety. Just avoid the lovely "Ripe on the vine!" or super plump run of the mill red round ones and you'll be good. You can bake your entire pack of in the oven bacon early on a saturday morning and have it ready for the week. BLOT = Bacon, Lettuce, Onion and Tomato.

I salt my veg to draw out moisture before chucking it on the grill. Do you mean for raw veg eating?

The only reason I can think of is a ready made one only costs $30. I don’t know how thick mine is, but I’ve never had to worry about it bending or sagging and dropping my pizza. How you engineer that attachment to the handle is going to make a big difference on that with yours.

do you just use parchment with a metal peel? i like wooden ones because of how easy they are to flour

The wooden ones are stupid thick, depending on what kind of crust you are making, they are not useful for getting the pizza up off the stone.

At my buddy's pizza shop, just metal peels, and we would file the edge down when first purchased.

I use parchment a lot anyway, but typically I put the pizza in on the wooden peel and take it out with the aluminum. When I’m making pizzas I’m assembling the next one on the wooden peel so I found I needed two for my workflow. My pizzaflow.

i have a wooden peel i wouldn't classify as "stupid thick", but fgr's idea is great because metal ones suck for putting them in the oven regardless of how your buddy's shop does it and i don't like using parchment 100% of the time
