Dinner Nov. 10th, 2013

[Jessica_Morris]

What's everyone having for dinner tonight? I need some inspiration!

I have some fresh okra, fresh corn & creamy butter potatoes that need to be cooked. And I have no idea what to cook with them.

 

[DaveSoMD]

I am making one of our favorite comfort foods....porcupine balls. Porcupine balls are meatballs with rice that are baked in tomato soup. I usually serve them with mashed potatoes and a veggie.

 

[jabbur]

We're still working on leftovers here. Spaghetti, burritos, chili, sloppy joes. I'll pull it all out and folks can grab whatever they want.

 

[Andy M.]

SO is prepping for a colonoscopy tomorrow so I'm having a pan seared duck breast, rice pilaf made with beef broth and butternut squash.

She's having chicken broth and Jell-O.

 

[Aunt Bea]

I'm making a cross between Buffalo wings and Thunder Thighs in the oven, creamed cabbage and a side salad.

 

[Zhizara]

I've started another hunk of turkey neck, boiling in the stock from the last batch. Turkey neck stew sounds like dinner.

 

[Gravy Queen]

Roast chicken butties here

 

[Rocket_J_Dawg]

Chicken & biscuits in the Dawg house.

 

[Dawgluver]

In this Dawg's house, am thinking Cuban black beans and rice.

 

[Breathing Couch]

Peanut sesame chicken. as requested by the fam.

 

[KatyCooks]

Beef stir fry, with black bean sauce and medium egg noodles for me.

 

[Whiskadoodle]

I am making a small pan of wet burritos, Steve K's chili lime sweet potatoes, using just one pretty good size 'tater, cut in slices, not cubes, so they look more like a scalloped potato dish and spiffed up pinto beans. I put beans in the burritos too.

Hah! I was just thinking of those potatoes while in the grocery store the other day, Whiska. Tis the season for yams.

Katy, what does black beans and beef consist of? Or the black beans is the sauce?
I'm not big on stir-fries, but that's because my repertoire for sauces is nil.

 

[PrincessFiona60]

I'm going to play with soft boiling eggs in the microwave and serve on toast.

I just bought a sachet of black bean sauce to throw onto my stir fry Pac. It's made with fermented soya beans and soy sauce. Quite salty, but not hot. The fillet beef is sliced thinly and very quickly fried (much as you would do for a stroganoff), then removed from the pan. Then you quickly stir fry your vegetables. Add the sauce and the beef back into the pan to warm through and then serve with egg noodles or rice. Very quick and tasty!

 

[pacanis]

I wonder if we have those sachets here... Thanks. I need to look into this.
I love everything about stir-frying except coming up with a sauce that isn't simply soy, cornstarch, fish sauce, sesame oil... the usual ingredients i have no idea what I'm doing with, lol.

If you have a Chinese section in your local store, I am sure they will do a selection of stir fry sauces and Black Bean is a pretty common one. Let me know what you think if you try it!

 

[pacanis]

I will next time I stroll down that aisle.
