oh man, yeah. it was a long cool spring, but the nectarines i picked up at the market sunday are just out of this world. really high sugar, must be 18 brix. and great acidity.
the remarkable thing about learning to appreciate vegetables is that you understand that every season has its stars. there's no need to eat one thing all the time. summer has tomatoes, eggplants, zucchini, cucumbers; winter has squash, kale and root veg. that's one of hte reasons vegetable cookery (and eatery) is so fascinating.
Right now you're our little philistine,
Wow mm getting ragged on by everybody. I'd also get a regular tasting menu at Daniel since I've never been but a Veg tasting menu sounds like a pretty mind opening experience that id love to try
Made those carne asada tacos I was asking about in the random questions thread. They turned out delicious. Making my own tortillas was fun, but without a press, the general shape was a bit off despite my best efforts. Most of them ended up looking like flowers, but the taste was there and they performed their duty as food shovels. The pickled onions were great - scared my mom, but when she tried them, she fell in love. I showed her how to make her own. No pics unfortunately - I was eating at my parents and didn't bring my camera.
Question about the grilling of the steak: I didn't get a great char, despite the grill being well over 500. The steaks were room temp, but I pulled them directly from the marinade to the grill. Should I have dried them off first to get a char? I let them cook until about medium to see if anything would caramelize, but didn't want to complete over cook it.
All in all, good stuff. Thanks for the help.
Any photos? I've never made homemade tortillas, and I'd be really interested in trying without a press.
use plastic wrap and a rolling pin.
