What's for Dinner, Thurs., Jan. 14, 2021

Pork loin wrapped in prosciutto. Parmesan mixed with olive oil and herbs over it. I think I saw half 'n half or cream poured into the sauce.

Cranberry beans cooked with some capocollo, onion, and herbs.

Salad made with red tip lettuce, radicchio, and endive. Radishes, red and yellow peppers, white onion, celery, carrots. I am having honey-mustard salad dressing with mine and for a crunchy, broken pieces of pretzel. This goes very well with the honey mustard dressing.

For dessert: tres leches cake and spicy chai tea.

I'm going to make open-faced hot pastrami sandwiches on rye bread with seeds. Spicy brown mustard and sauerkraut, of course but also onions and Kosher dill pickles. Melted Swiss cheese on top.

Fresh spinach salad on the side.

I think we have some Dinkelacker beer.

The recipe is from the St. Pawley’s Island 🏝 cookbook. One of my sisters lives at DeBordeiu. We grabbed the cookbook on one of our visits.

7. Miss Millie, you remember City Chicken in the 50s-maybe the 80s?

It's wiki page-City chicken is an American entrée consisting of cubes of meat, which have been placed on a wooden skewer (approximately 4–5 inches long), then fried and/or baked. Depending on the recipe, they may be breaded.[1] Despite the name of the dish, city chicken almost never contains chicken.
More at source.

My mom in the 60s dredged the pork cubes, bread crumbs and baked them, usually on Sunday with parsley potatoes and boiled buttered carrots coins. Came up in conversation with my brother yesterday.

8. Pintos and Rice in flour tortillas.

Similar to this-https://www.theblackpeppercorn.com/mexican-pinto-beans
I typically use canned pinto beans, but dry beans can also be used. If using dry pinto beans, it would be necessary to soak them for 8 or more hours and then to boil them in water for approximately an hour to soften them up. I use canned pinto beans primarily because they are more convenient.

Mexican pinto beans with cumin, coriander, cinnamon onion and pepper. The brown sugar gives a hint of sweetness and the chipotle powder gives some smokey spice.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour
Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
Servings: 6 people
Ingredients
1/4 cup butter
3 garlic cloves minced
1/2 onion diced

1/4 cup water
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp chipotle powder
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt

Mixed with rice in a tortilla topped with cojita cheese

I sliced last night’s tough grass-fed beef thin and cooked it with onions, sake, mirin, and soy sauce. Served it on rice. Stir fried zucchini on the side.

While we do eat meat, we don't eat a lot of it and it lasts for a good week. Still have 2 meals to get out of it.
