What's for Dinner, Mon., June 13, 2022

[NJCher]

We're having an early dinner of tomato salad, lamb, and scalloped potatoes. As an appetizer, goat cheese on cranberry pecan bread.

Wish I could say these were my heirloom tomatoes, but we had to buy them since my tomato plants are only about a foot tall at this point. Some not even that.



Above, Buffalo mozzarella, fresh and dried herbs, homegrown lettuce and arugula. He mixed up his own vinaigrette.



Lamb loin chops which he also got at Balducci's. Marinated in olive oil, herbs, and garlic and will be cooked in the cast iron skillet.

The scalloped potatoes are the other half from yesterday.

Cabernet sauvignon for him and pomegranate kombucha for me.

Dessert will be one of the many tiramisus that we each picked up independently. Cold vanilla nut coffee for me.

4. Lemon Parmesan Chicken (Updated)

with a Greek salad.

Haven't made this recipe yet, but it looks and sounds really good, and gets great reviews.

Your dinner looks delicious! Enjoy!


Update: this is an excellent recipe. I didn't use a separate skillet to make the sauce, just took the chicken out and heated up the sauce in the same skillet and added the chicken back in. The chicken is also excellent without the sauce. Nice and crunchy and delicious.

5. Caesar salad

To start, a loaf of Italian bread sliced lengthwise and horizontally. Each half is slathered with butter, littered with minced garlic and dusted with herbs from the Landlady(!)'s garden: Rosemary, thyme, oregano, basil and parsley. This is warmed in the oven and then covered in fresh mozzarella and then heated till the cheese is gooey.

We're making a large sort-of Caesar salad using the greens from the garden. We have red leaf, frisee and green leaf; no Romaine! Topping the greens will be the usual suspects: anchovies, hard-boiled egg, chopped red onion, grated Parmesan cheese and garlic flavored croutons. We've got a delicious creamy Caesar dressing from a local outfit to top it all off.

Ginger snaps for dessert.

Fun fact: A proper Caesar salad should have exactly 23 croutons for each of the stab wounds Julius received in his assassination. Well, I read it somewhere.

ETA: NJCher, you're photos are beautiful and the food looks awesome!
