Chick peas no olives it calls for dried dates but we had to sub with dried cranberries also call for carrots! Since im semi retired the Kitchen has become my playground with a couple of good cook books the fun is endless!

Wanted to try rainbow trout so bought one local shop rite! It was farm raised I never buy farm raised seafood but this time I did, very simple recipe baked it at 400 for 30 minutes. Got to admit farm raised was very tasty but I’m sure wild caught must be unreal!

Looks great! Rainbow trout is so delicate and delicious.

I'm with you on the farm raised vs wild issue. However, when it comes to fresh water fish in the states- the level of toxins in American fresh water fish are so astronomically high, you're probably better off with farm raised.

My wife reminded me that years ago we had a friend who lives out in Colorado and he sent us fresh caught rainbows freeze dried and they were out of this world tasty!

pork again. Added fresh coconut milk, yucca, onions, grilling a couple poblano peppers too. Added an old dried ghost pepper I had in my garage. Still hot. Should kick it up perfectly.
This time followed josevolutions lead. Seasoned the heck out of it, bagged it with a fresh lime squashed up. I think it will be great!

Damn juicy looks tasty 😋 let us know how it turned out.i did stuffed artichoke again this time I put an Italian spin on it topped them with fresh tomato sauce and grated cheese! By the best I’ve made they were so delicious. 

Loujoe

Pork is pretty good. I had to stop midway and resume about 2 hours later. Got a little rubbery. Ended up slicing it and pureed the peppers and juices up. Sure it will make a pile of delicious sandwiches. 
thinking about cooking rice in that sauce. 
Could be a delicious disaster...

I know u did a dry brine. Mine was bagged. May try that next time to crisp it up a bit. All fun. Love to experiment.

The last pork shoulder I brined was overnight in pot of water to cover it with salt pepper and bay leaf 

Loujoe

Ahh ok. After brine. Take out and cook? Rinsing involved/drying?

Ms. Haiku
