July Round-Up - Part 2 Other Stuff
Part 2
These are posted in chronological order as I made them.
I bought some fresh sage and with the thought of a sage and brown butter sauce in the back of my mind I made some ravioli using wontons out of my freezer. The filling was a simple and tasty sweet potato/Parmesan mixture. I garnished with toasted pine nuts cause I forgot to put them in the filling. Delicious and easy.
I baked off the extra wontons in muffin tins and filled the crispy cups that resulted with shrimp in a bang bang sauce (copycat recipe from the Cheesecake factory).
The baked cups are REALLY dry and crispy and will stand up for hours to the moistest filling. I didn't LOVE the cups but the shrimp filling was really good.
I also made a delicious Jonagold apple pie-like filling which was great over pancakes, and, along with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, made for a tasty sweet filling for the baked wonton cups. By the way, the cups also freeze well.
I also made breaded chicken cutlets ... for Chicken Parmigiana and easy, but just as tasty, chicken cutlet sandwiches on the leftover fougasse mentioned above.
Lemon curd for another batch of limoncello tiramisu. I splurged and made it a double layer version instead of the more modest one I made the first time.
And then there were the baked beef meatballs that I used to top some pasta with home made marinara sauce.
A couple of other meals ... pan fried boneless pork loin chops and a sauteed mushroom, sage and asiago cheese souffle ... cause I had all 3 in the house at the same time
Salmon dressed with tzatziki sauce over Mexican rice. I'm digging deep in the freezer for the proteins to cook.
I had a chicken liver craving so I made this comfort dish. Not pretty but yummy.
And those were the July highlights.
