Tonight is leftovers at work again. This time from a recipe from a restaurant in Quebec, Resto Vivaldi. It's Cast Iron French Onion Chicken. Thin chicken breasts sauteed in a sort of French onion soup/sauce, topped with melted gruyere.

If you like French onion soup, this one is for you.

I've been waiting a year to have this again, Bahn Mi with pickled veg, ham, pate and head cheese which I removed ...

team effort - my SIL and I made Sunday Pasta Dinner ... I haven't had this in years!
 
I'd decided on Lebanese food today. I made some kibbe earlier in the week (kibbe for frying) and froze it.Looking through the fridge, I found some lovely red peppers, so m'hammara (a Middle Eastern "dip" made with roasted peppers, walnuts and a touch of chile) was on the books. I roasted the peppers yesterday evening. My wife wanted hummus, and I needed to soak chickpeas to make falafel anyway. Tabbouleh (bulgur wheat, tomatoes, parsley, mint, onion) is always a favourite because it cuts through the heaviness of the fried stuff and is very refreshing.
Sooooo... that looks like a lot of work, but with a food processor, it's pretty straightforward. Mix, blitz, plate; mix, blitz, fry.
I started up the processor and it died on me. Maybe a fuse, maybe the motor burned out, who knows?
We ended up using the hand mixer, which takes about 3 times longer. The peppers where chopped by hand, with a large knife, old style. Good news was, we still got to eat at 5.30!

I have never had Lebanese food. I am going to have to try it some time looks good.
