I think Bobby was referring to the type of herb Michael Phelps likes to "smoke".

But that brings on a vicious cycle... Eat > Munchies, more herb > Eat....
Sauted 2 Chicken Breasts last night in a little bit of olive oil...

Pork Loin with a Pomegranate Soy Glaze

Ingredients

• 2 boneless pork loin chops, about 5 ounces each
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon peanut oil
• 11 oz (small jar) of pomegranate jelly
• 1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce

Directions

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season both sides of pork with salt and black pepper. Add pork to the skillet and cook 2 minutes per side, until golden brown.

In a medium bowl, using a spoon, combine pomegranate jelly, broth, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well and add to the pork in the pan. Bring to a simmer for 5 minutes, or until pork is cooked through and sauce thickens and reduces. I took the pork out after 5 minutes and let rest. To help thicken the glaze, I made a slurry with arrowroot starch and whisked into the glaze.

I served the pork on top a bed of the Pomegranate Soy Glaze. The dish was accompanied by a side of wild bean rice and freshly baked asparagus.

Very well done. I will be trying that one. I might just have to make a detour this fall on my way to the fall Bristol race. I know. A bit out of the way, but it would be well worth the trip. Another great one HD!!!!:up

Thanks Stimpson.

The original recipe called for Orange Marmalade, but I'd imagine other jelly's would work as well. I happened to have a jar of Pomegranate jelly in the fridge and I had no idea what I would ever do with, so I used that instead. I think it turned out pretty tasty.

Lasagna

Last time I made this in post # 249, I didn't get the money shot (ie. finished picture). Plus, I've tweaked this recipe a bit. Undoubtedly, the best LaBanza I've ever had!

Ingredients:

• Lasagna uncooked noodles
• 1.5lbs hot Italian sausage
• Fresh Baby Spinach, de-stemmed
• Ricotta Cheese
• Shredded Mozzarella
• Parmigiano-Reggiano
• Marinara Sauce- Jar bottled in Cleveland's Little Italy
• Italian Herb Mix Seasoning

Served with a side of Caesar salad and oven toasted garlic bread.....

Grilled Tuna Steaks, Baked potatoe, and romaine salad.

(my daughter loves fish. Tuna steaks, swordfish, salmon, you name it.)

 

[vampz26]

grilled italian sausage on a roll...

 

[vampz26]

NY Strip steaks marinated in a blend of lime, cilantro, and mild salsa, then grilled it over hickory. Romaine salad garnished with queso fresco, crumbled tortilla chips and a dressing made up of sour cream and salsa. Sided it with some Mexican rice and corn.

I would call my combinations here more "Southwest influenced" as opposed to anything I would declare "authentic Mexican", but none-the-less it turned out well, the flavors were wonderful, and the wife enjoyed her dinner.

Paired it with an excellent 2003 Argentine Malbec Reserve.

Grilled BBQ Chicken

Last night, while the weather was nice, we did BBQ Chicken on the Grill.

Used a whole chicken, cut up. Seasoned with olive oil and a basic rub. Let the rub work in and then tossed in a store bought, "Stubbs BBQ Sauce."

Cooked over indirect-medium heat for 40 minutes. Basted the chicken 3 times throughout the process. This method certainly provides better results than cooking over a direct flame. Especially when you're working with poultry and a sauce that burns easily such as BBQ sauce.

The chicken turned out perfectly moist on the inside and the sauce caramelized over the skin very nicely.

As a side, the wife made a batch of homemade mac & cheese.

HD MM got me all excited about corned beef being that it was St. Paddy's day and all. Alas I didn't have time to make one myself w/cabbage, but the grocery store had sliced CB on sale for the occasion at $4.99 so I bought a pound. Tonight I'll get some Swiss cheese, rye bread (or maybe pumpernickel) and some 1,000 Island dressing and make me up a Reuben! (I have plenty of sauerkraut at home already, aged the bhelms way which is to say stored in the back of the fridge for about a year - one of my staples!) I have never made a Reuben at home but it is no-doubt my favorite deli meal...
