Chicken pot pie for a rainy night
Cauliflower “Couscous” with Vegetables - Coarsely grated cauliflower sautéed with leeks, baby spinach, green peppers and cranberries. At the end mixed with sauce made from Greek yoghurt, mustard, garlic, dill and cumin.
Korean style fried rice with calrose rice, chicken thighs, sweet potatoes, green cabbage, scallions, garlic, ginger, gochujang, soy sauce, sugar, rice vinegar
Variation on a quick goulash - Crisp up bacon and then use the fat to sear some diced pork tenderloin. Afterwards sautéed red and yellow peppers, onion and quickly braised it with diced tomatoes, caraway seeds and paprika before quickly warm it up with the pork and some pasta water to thicken the sauce. Served with basil and fusili.
As Germans we celebrate always 12/24 as the big day with gifts and special dinner. This year a meatloaf with ground beef, shredded cheddar, smoked paprika, cumin, crushed chili flakes and filling made from spinach, onions, garlic and ajvar, wrapped in bacon. Served with peperonata (made from green, red and yellow peppers, onion, anchovies, parsley braised for some time in its own juice) and tangy mashed potatoes (made with buttermilk)
Vietnamese Tofu and Mushroom Curry - Button and cremini mushrooms are first sautéed with browned onions, grated tomatoes, lemongrass, ginger, garlic, curry powder, sirarakhong chili and maggi (forgot to get some MSG) and afterwards braised with pan-fried extra firm tofu in coconut milk. Finished with some cilantro and served over rice
Keep them coming. I am going to start trying some of these. I needed some new ideas. I will be visiting this thread more often!

Your ribs are both beautiful!
Thank you! It was my first time using a convection oven so a very different experience.
How long did you smoke yours for?
220 for about 8 or so hours?
My probe thermometer died so we had to wing it.
Wow that’s a good long smoke glad it turned out ok even without a thermometer!
My family prefers it over…so I was the only one who suffered.
Vine Grower’s Sausages and Green Beans - Fresh pork bratwurst cooked in the oven in a mixture of celery, onions, red grapes, red wine and saba (which I couldn’t get and substituted with a mixture of acetic balsamic, red wine vinegar and pomegranate molasses). The green beans were cooked with diced tomatoes, shallots, garlic and basil.
Sorry to hear that if that were my family I would probably stop eating/cooking beef lol! I love my beef slightly less than medium rare.
I have wanted to make this for years, but never had both green and yellow pastas on hand. Straw and Hay fresh pasta with nettle and egg pastas. Sauce is butter and Parmesan. So simple and so delicious!
Saba is not sour, it’s a grape syrup, similar to pomegranate molasses but not as reduced. It’s the raw material from which balsamic is fermented.
What does grating the tomato do (genuine question)???
