It was a glorious dinner night. Fine Salad & combo Me & barbs Garlic bread. Fresh cracked peppercorns, garden herbs baked in, 3 cheeses butter & EEVO spread.

 

[mikeinct]

My Bud BOB, choose spicy Clam sauce/fresh garden tomatoes.

 

[mikeinct]

Mrs. Mike in Ct choose Artichoke n Asparagus with garden fresh veggies and herbs.

 

[mikeinct]

Mine/Longolini pasta, was sauced with a naughty "Puntanesca". Started all these Italian favs with Homemade un-smoked Italian Bacon. "Panchetta" Love that rendered pork fat & good red wine base.

 

[mikeinct]

Had a Ton of fun spoiling the Mrs, & Buddy Bob. Used my Summer formula "Longolini" pasta Semolina flour and warm water/not the Egg recipe. All the sauces were started w/ un-smoked Italian bacon, clarified butter and EEVO . I used 3 kinds of Garden fresh tomatoes. Fresh Herbs. other usual spices & only 3 Anchovies in my Puntanesca sauce. Poor Barb worked as hard as I did fussing these 3 dishes.

Foil pouch salmon and shrimp.

Melted butter, lemon juice, evoo, SP&G.

Oil, S&P on the fish and shrimp, about half of meted butter/lemon/garlic mixture poured on, foil pouch and into a 350° oven for about 10-15 minutes. Flip and cook another 5 minutes.

Serve over your favorite pasta, add rest of melted butter/lemon/garlic mix over entire dish. Quick, easy, delicious and minimal clean up!

That looks like pork chops, ever try brining them before frying? It will take them to the next level if you haven't tried it. Just a basic salt brine for about an hours, 30 minutes minimum, 4 hours max. Rinse and pat dry, season and sear like normal. They will be the juiciest chops you ever had!

 

[JFrank]

I like the Sniders prime rim rub or the BBQ rub, very juicy chops.
Salmon is on my list too.

Thats a good solid seasoning mix. I use a lot of sumac for my pork rubs. Great on chops, loin or ribs! But I always brine my thick cut chops now, no matter how I season and cook them. Brining increases the meats ability to absorb and hold moisture, breaks down the connective tissue making it more tender and adds very little flavor.

This Trout dinner can't hold a candle to the salmon above. Tonight, was Smoked Trout, Caprice salad, Garlic bread, Frissells, oven baked fries & Rainbow Trouts... mikeinct

 

[mikeinct]

Frissells are a very crispy hard baked pepper & herb infused bread.

 

[Fast14riot]

Breads are something I don't do hardly ever. I should more. My baking usually consists of pastries, desserts, cupcakes, etc. Which reminds me, I need to make profiteroles again, soon. Always a big hit! Just thinking about mixing that pâte à choux makes my forearms hurt, though!
