What did you cook or eat today (August 2022)?

[The OMWC]

I made Jerusalem artichoke soup with watercress.

I had Jerusalem artichokes for the first time about 3 years ago at a restaurant in Scottsdale (FnB, wonderful place!), roasted with chanterelles. I found out later that they have an... interesting effect on me.

How did you do the soup?

Doesn’t look like much, but this takes me right back to my grandmom’s kitchen around 1974:

Beans and potatoes “boiled to death,” with a big spoonful of bacon grease stirred in rather forcefully, to break up some of the potatoes.

Corn on the cob, buttered using the bread. I think we ate corn on the cob just to get the warm, melty bread and butter.

My mum beat yours, not only boiled to death but with massive amounts of salt.
And I mean tablespoons!!!

No pics but Sunday night was chicken drumsticks roasted with onions, lemon slices and olive oil.

The point though, was that I wanted potato bake (scallop potato/cream potato/dauphinois) and so I made a large tray of that as it’s a family favourite.

Green side - onion and bacon fried until they took on good colour then I added sliced chard/silverbeet stems. Waited until those let out their water & got back to frying then added the shredded green bits and some Warrigal greens as well. This was really good with the lemony juices from the chicken.

Monday night - David Chang’s famous Momofuku Bossam

A spicy gochuchang sesame sauce, a sesame spiked avo coriander sauce, spring onion ginger sauce, rice, kimchi and lettuce to make wraps.

The pork shoulder (butt) is dry brined, slow roasted then brown sugar glazed.

If you want to do it at home then search “Momofuku Bossam” and use the recipe on the Recipe Tin Eats blog as the NYT has it wrong and it will end up salty & inedible.

I was lying on another thread when I said I ate all the beef and mushroom hotpot.

However, there was not much left to be had with a few roast potatoes.

Endive mash with spicy Indonesian gravy, which tasted as good as it should. Hurray!

Pasta carbonara with aubergine "bacon", round 2.

Hubby just abandoned the aubergine in the top rather than burying it into the pasta. Lol

I sliced the aubergine differently today so I could gauge the thickness better. Taste and cooking were much improved, but it looked much less like "bacon", not that i mind personally.

Endive mash

Curious: by endive (chicory) mash, do you mean cooked endive chopped into mashed potato?

Stamppot - Wikipedia

No this is raw endive in thin strips. I think I've explained this several times on here, it's just traditional Dutch food. Pretty similar to colcannon, just with different veg. Sometimes raw, sometimes cooked.

The raw veg used are mostly limited to different types of endive.
