What did you cook today?

[Certificate of Excellence]

This morning I did a take on strata - think Denver omelet crashed into strata using cubed toasted English muffins.

This was quite tasty although the EMs were “sourdough”. I did not care for this characteristic in this dish. Next time Id go with regular EMs.

A couple days sgo I picked up a clearance $3.60 boneless pork shoulder roast that I had to get through so I made some
red chile pork & potato carne adovada.

Fork tender 40 minutes in the instapot. This dish traditionally is a multi-hour braise in a low n slow oven but if time is not on your side, a pressure cooker can churn out a very good version in a third of the time.

Happy eating, everyone.

DROOOOOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I finished my fourth meal out of the Pasta Vat today with just enough left over for a snack tonight. Threw in the remains of a jar of sun-dried and the oil it was packed in. Parmesan, a can of ripe olives (whole) and a whole lotta da garlique powder and some black pepper. Very nice!

Time to replace the barely used jar of minced garlic in the fridge, it's marked as opened 7/4 . . .
. . . not quite sure what year though.
