Porcini Mustard Cream Sauce over Pasta

Image
Yet another dish!!! This focuses on my homemade Porcini Mustard. It's the star of the show. You can put this mustard on shoe leather and it would taste good. I will go over some of the ingredients but in the end it's all about the mustard and choices.  Assemble your ingredients. Choose whatever you want because it's gonna taste fantastic because of the mustard.  This would work with with Broccoli Rabe too but I love asparagus.  I added Red Bell pepper more for color than flavor. Chives and Parsley Pre-cut all your veggies. Green onions all chopped up. chicken thighs washed and trimmed. Asparagus and mushrooms all ready.  Chopped up red bell pepper and shallots. Toasted pine nuts and my homemade  Schmaltz . Use another fat if you have too. A blood orange for deglazing along with the zest and Tomato powder for taste and color....

Candy(Canned) Roasted Garlic

So who loves garlic? The better question might be; who doesn't love garlic. This post was inspired by a Facebook group I belong to called Modernist Schmodernist .  A Facebook  Group friend posted a link: How to Preserve Garlic by Hunter-Angler-Gardener-Cook (Hank Shaw).  After reading his article, I just knew I had to try this. Hank Shaw's recipe is adapted from The Preservation Kitchen by Paul Virant. This book is outstanding for all those interested in food or canning. Preserving food is not my thing but transforming food is certainly in my wheelhouse.  It's tough to describe what happens to garlic when it's Pressured Canned using Paul Virant's scanning technique.  So instead of me plagiarizing someone else descriptive words about canned garlic, I will quote them here.  "Precious few foods undergo a magical transformation when they are preserved," No matter how much I love fresh garlic, i...

This one of those dishes that's created out of a pure craving for pasta. If you're on a Ketogenic Diet this can be challenging. Not to fear though because I can do anything with food. I can make Keto dishes taste amazing. This dish starts out with my Amazing Coconut Curry Sauce. There are two versions of this sauce. The first version (HERE)  is 100% Keto and the Second (HERE) version is less Keto friendly but still is a great choice for this dish. Also you need a device to turn Veggies into pasta. There are many versions. There all good. HERE is the one I have.  First thing you should do is make the sauce. Refrigerate until ready to use.  Buy many Chicken thighs. Buy them boneless or skinless. I purchased the whole thing and I made Schmaltz with the Skin & the remnants.  Make a spice to coat the chicken. Make your own or buy some. I used Curry, Cumin, Salt, White ...
