Monday, Monday 2025 October 27 Dinner/Supper

[taxlady]

I roasted some hot Italian sausages in the toaster oven while I made that Greek braised greens dish, horta. It's a simple recipe, but there are a lot of leaves to wash and spin. This time I used spinach, turnip greens, and rainbow chard. It was excellent, as expected. I made enough for 3 or 4 servings, but ate most of it. I had whole wheat baguette slices to sop up the greens liquor and the juices from the sausages.

Another grazing day. Sausage and egg breakfast sandwich in the morning. A couple of light sandwiches during the day. Everything bagel and cream cheese late in the evening. I've lost 8 of the 12 pounds I gained in Houston.

Thighs and mini portobella's panko crusted. Dipped the leaf part of a couple of bok choy in the egg and crumbs... well, I thought it was a good idea. LOL

mushrooms perfect!

left one thigh in for a bit longer then added bok choy and tomato.

How is Costco's potpie? When I have gotten pot pie in the past, it seems to be lacking on the sauce within, but I have never had one from Costco. What say you?

We had chicken noodle leftovers.

At Costco yesterday saw one lady piling 4 pies into her basket.

 

[Andy M.]

I made a pot of basic tomato sauce. We had that over angel hair.

We had chicken noodle leftovers.

The first serving was really nice and saucy, but the leftovers not quite so much. Still good though.

Wonder if she had a crowd to feed.

Soup made with mixed grains, legumes and mushrooms. Topped with crostini - 'croutons' - French word more popular.

Ooh, those mushrooms Dragn! How did you get the panko to stick so well? I would have had just those and some garlic mayo and been very happy indeed!

 

[dragnlaw]

Just as I did on the thighs, seasoned flour, egg wash, press into panko. Actually I was a little surprised myself that it stuck so well. It was very crunchy. LOL!

I always have very patchy (literally) results with breadcrumbing. So kudos!

 

[dragnlaw]

I alsways use a whole egg. Never water, milk or watered down egg. I also try to do them far enough in advance to be able to pop them into the fridge for 15/20 minutes.
Keep in mind that these were not fried but baked .

 

[KatyCooks]

Maybe it's the fridging? I have tried both baking and frying and always chunks of the coating fall off. (I only ever use the whole egg too.)

 

[dragnlaw]

The fridge time helps the egg dry a bit and hang on to the coating.
Back in the 60's I complained to my mom about my breaded pork chops (hers were beautiful), this was her advice.
Never really knew why it is just my take on it.

 

[KatyCooks]

I can see the logic. I rarely do breading (for this very reason), but I will definitely try it the next time a recipe comes up that calls for it. Thanks for the tip Dragn!
