This weekend we went to a family friends' place for my mother-in-law's 75th birthday. The friends made some terrific grilled food (steak and shrimp), potatoes and bread, and I was in charge of the green vegetable. My sweetie, of course, did dessert (a chocolate ganache & lemon tart). However, we were only at the in-laws for a short time and I had a lot of errands to run, so I needed something tasty I could find the ingredients for at Fred Meyer's in Medford, and make in less than 40 minutes from grocery bag to portable serving dish.
Fortunately, I remembered Janet Mendel's Malaga-style Chard recipe fairly well. Or, at least, my adaptation of it; the original has rather too much in the sweet, poached raisins department for my taste. This version is a little more savory, and our family liked it a lot. No picture this time, sorry. Click through for the recipe ... Continue reading "Simple Malaga-style Chard" Sunday, March 22. 2009Tortilla Española con Sparrago
Tapas, Spanish small plates meant to be eaten with sangria, also have the advantage of being relatively easy to make and often preparable in advance.

This is a recipe I synthesized based on other Spanish recipes to be a side dish for Christmas Eve dinner. It's great for that purpose in two ways: it's dramatically red and green, and it can be 100% prepared ahead and simply baked in the oven for 25 minutes while you do other stuff on the stove.

Christmas Eve was very different from Thanksgiving as far as cooking was concerned this year. Thanksgiving dinner I had planned out 2 weeks in advance. Christmas, I was still thinking about things on Monday. So it didn't throw me much when dinner had to be revised and revised. Also, we had a surprisingly "white Christmas" for Oregon; it snowed nonstop for several days, which is a rarity for Medford. So what did all of this snow make me think of? Why, sunny Brazil and Spain, of course! First, I was pleasantly surprised to find Brazillian ingredients at Food4Less in Medford, OR. So I was going to do a Brazillian feast. However, then we invited over two new guests, who apparently were not used to "exotic" foods and both Pat and I thought Bahian cuisine might be going a little far. So we revised it to Spanish food: salt-crusted steelhead trout, asparagus, and tortilla. Except ... I'd forgotten about the Oregon-CA-Washington fishing ban this year. So no wild whole steelhead. So, instead ...Continue reading "Christmas Eve Dinner 2008"
