Got gifted some slider buns left over from a caterer I worked for. BBQ sliders cooked on charcoal topped with fried shallot rings (breaded of course) served with house salad (apple matchsticks, toasted pine nuts, goat cheese) and sweet potato fries.

I missed the chicken cheese challenge!
:cripes:
I'd have loved to have that gang tag. Oh well, this wouldn't count cuz no bread.

Fontina & Prosciutto Stuffed Chicken Breasts with Radicchio Fennel Orange Slaw

makes six plates



EVOO
3 big chicken breasts -> hammered and pocketed (NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND)
3 oz fontina cheese -> cubes
3 slices Proscuitto -> squares
2 Fennel bulbs -> cored and thin sliced
2 Chronicles of Rachiccio -> cored and thin sliced
0.5 cup OJ
Most of a big onion -> fine dice
2 Garlic cloves - minced
Wee bit o thyme -> destemmed and minced
house spice blend

(only 1 bulb and 1 Chronicles of Radicchio pictured, the family came over and wanted to stay after I took the picture so I sent them out for more veggies to stretch it)



The filling is little cubes of fontina and squares of prosciutto with thyme. Fennel and Onion go in one bowl, Chronicles of Radicchio and Garlic go in another.



Cut your veggies ahead of time and get them well away from the Frankenchicken murder porn show about to happen over by the cutting board. Get out a bunch of toothpicks, more than you need so your chickeny fingers won't taint the house toothpick population. Toss the leftovers, they're biodegradable.
Frankenchicken murder porn show edited out. Pound em thin, make pockets, stuff, weave with toothpicks. Count the toothpicks to make sure you can get em out later. Pat dry and season.



High heat! EVOO in the pan, add stuffed chicken breasts start as soon as it begins to smoke!

Sear well on all sides (if they're rounder than they are flat, sear three ways, you want to seal in the filling above all else). Set aside or put in preheated oven if they're huge. Get the onions and fennel going in the fond, add more oil if needed



Add the thinly sliced Chronicles of Raddichio and garlic. Cook for less time than the onions and fennel. A minute or two then hit it with the OJ. When it's boiling, mix and put the stuffed breasts on top.



I like to mound the veggies so I can see around the edges if it's getting to dry. reduce to low and cover for 3 min or until done. Remember you have a molten core of cheese in the middle so adjust your thermometer placement accordingly. I overcooked it here due to paranoia, but it was still moist.



Horay! No samonela poisening!



Garnish with fennel fronds, it's a very brown dish.

Okay so this is my fav one pan steak recipe w/ veggies.
Steak, 4 new potatoes, 1 squash, .5 cup peas, .5 cup parsley, 3 cloves minced garlic, .5 cup parsley, 3 green onions, red wine vinegar.



Sauce: Mix up the parsley, a third of the green onions, a third of the garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil.
Steak: Season and cook the steak in the cast iron to your liking, let it rest.
Veg: Hot simmer the potatoes in the fond for three minutes then add squash for three more. Add remaining peas and garlic.



Super good!

Ahoy! It's the heart attack cheese boat! :parrot: My wife says it's a Georgian thing (Russia not the South). Incredibly decadent and good. It's ricotta, mozzarella, and brined feta baked into dough. You top it with butter and an egg yolk before stirring it up and ripping it apart with your hands.

Recommended for autumn! Jook with soft boiled egg, green onion, crispy breaded shallots. Little sausage I needed to get rid of so I crisped that up and threw it in.



And hot sauce! The brown really should be soy sauce but I like Worcestershire.

Wow did not realize it looked like a face.

I keep forgetting about Jook but every time I make it I wish I'd do it more. Learned about it in the help I'm poor food thread I think. Great for cleaning out the fridge.

gently caress the green can. It doesn't even act like cheese. And if they could give you less "parmesan-like cheese product" and more cellulose, they would.

My local discount grocery got a truckload of parm shavings packaged in delitainers that were absurdly cheap, I bought one, was enlightened, and went back and bought a bunch more.

Circumstances willing, once this green can I do have is gone, I am never buying another green can again.

I grew up with the Green Can but my wife won't have it in her house. It's a guilty pleasure of mine.

Stuffed chicken (involtini?) with pan sauce. I used the below recipe except I didn't have mushrooms, fontina or spinach so it was mushrooms, gruyere and prosciutto. The sauce was great.

Beef Shepard's Pie (I will not call it cottage pie because the first person to correct me on that technicality was very condescending and douchy about it). I had some leftover mashed potato (made with shallot, chive and peppercorn-infused cream) and an extra leek threw it together and turned out great:




Finally, this was what we had last night. Pork and beef meatballs with cherry tomato broth, and arugula salad with prosciutto panko breadcrumbs. Yeah, we put the salad in the broth somehow it works. Both are Alison Roman recipes from her Nothing Fancy book, here are online copies:

I've been getting food from Foodbanks and there's always frozen drumsticks left over from grocery store donations because people get the breasts first. I made Korean Yangnyeom Chicken because I didn't have eggs or buttermilk to make a more American version, this turned out way better!
