What's for dinner Sun 10/23???

Canadian Split Pea soup--not sure if I need anything else with that...We made the sweet potato-ricotta gnocchi last night-served those with mushrooms sauteed in EVOO and some Milotti sherry. Quite tasty. Those we didn't boil went in the freezer for another time. I want to try a savory maple syrup sauce on them next time.

Excuse my ignorance, what is Canadian Split Pea Soup and how doe sit differ from run of the mill split pea soup? I love this soup and would love to hear variations.

Doe sit = does it

A nice baguette or cornbread to go with.

I wondered the same thing. Maybe it uses Canadian bacon, which is essentially ham?

 

[msmofet]

I think Canadians use yellow split peas and no ham. But I am not sure.

We were looking up Orange chicken today but it had too much sugar in it. What is an Apricot vinegar sauce?

 

[Somebunny]

Yes, I believe it is yellow split peas and most of it I have seen is not the thick version more of a broth type soup. I could be wrong tho.

Not feeling great today, so threw a couple of pork steaks in the CI frypan browned them added some sliced onion a stuck them in the oven. Maybe will take a short cut and dump a can of mushroom soup in with them and cook a couple of spuds.

Oh yeah, some cream of shroom, milk, minute rice, canned green beans... yum. I just made that a week ago using pork chops.

I changed my mind on dinner... tonight it's a cheap man's dinner... but it tastes good.... Riceroni with ground beef, onion, garlic, italian seasoning and polish sausage. On the side, green beans and a couple of mini corn muffins. I'll post pictures in a bit.

Canadian Split Pea Soup--I made a ham for Canadian Thanksgiving to which I added apple cider, maple syrup, and some apple vinegar. I deboned the ham, kept the bone and the pan drippings. For the Canadian Split pea soup, I took the bone, the broth/drippings, added carrot, celery, fresh thyme, bay, S&P. I soaked yellow split peas 12 hours, drained those. When the broth was done, I strained that, kept the meat bits and leftover ham (chunked). put it in the fridge overnight, strained off the fat. I put the soaked peas, broth, 3 carrots, 2 stalks celery, and 2 c of water, S&P. After about 1-1/2 hours (when the peas got really mushy), I took out 2 cups of the stock/broth/peas and pureed that, returned it to the pot, and simmered over low until thick. Added the ham bits--topped with fresh thyme.

Yeah, would have done rice but we were just coming off of a weeks worth jambalaya, so rice seemed redundant or
"we done that" lol! Decided against the potatoes too and thinned the soup/milk down with water and added some egg noodles put the whole thing back in the oven. DH is steaming some cauliflower. It will be a pale meal, does this bother anyone else? I always think there should be a colorful veg with lighter colored meat, fish or fowl. Precisely why I think green beans go so well with fried chicken, mashed taters and southern style milk gravy.
