My better half sauteed some cauliflower leaves from the garden, with garlic, onion and garden tomatoes. Kind of similar to kale.

I like it. No sense in wasting the greens/leaves of veg. 

Those taste good even just thrown into dal. Lazy hack 😃

Funny you said dal, she did that last week.  This was nice, but our favourite is leaves of pepper (any) plants.

All good here! 

Great opening for the salmon right there.  Jalas with anything are dang near the only greens I eat. 
I see a banquet waiting to happen.

I don't remember cauliflower having anything but green leaves, but this also made me ask the question, and I'm posting Siri's response as a PSA:
 

 
(seems to me I read a recent recipe recommending young tomato leaves for extra flavor...)

Thai chili rice and Slippery Egg w/Mushroom from Kenji Lopez-Alt’s Wok cookbook.  Really loving that book.

There’s more to it,  than what Siri has to say. I just looked up tomato leaves:

If you think about it, these are veg commonly grown in home backyards. If they were that toxic, we’d be hearing more about this. Probably then leading to folks not growing them as much.

Simple 3lb gammon joint, coated in a 'rub roulette' from my library of pots - mainly sweet but a bit of heat too.  
Cooked to 75C internal, foiled for 30 minutes, soft as butter.
Still experimenting with MMX set-up.  Used my trusty smoke tin with chippings from an oak we trimmed in March, dried in the garage since.

@Botch @caliking Interesting reads. We don't eat tomato leaves, have been eating carrot and pepper leaves for years, touch wood.

Simple dish sweet potatoes, celery, carrots, onion pureee - made it a few nights ago but altered it some.  Added Carolina reapers, roasted green chilies and went non vegetation with some carmelized chicken and apple sausage diced thin.  Served with sliced scallions and some crumbled cheese for from the local Middle Eastern grocery store.

As if spoken by Jason Statham himself.  
Credit is 95% BGE, 4.5% SWMBO for buying the meat, 0.5% me for resting it under foil for 30 mins.

What a medley of flavors. I need to show sweet potatoes more love.

@DoubleEgger - those enchiladas have been stuck in my head. Is that a cheese sauce, or more of a cream sauce?

Ozzie_Isaac

Protein loading for a 7 day backpacking trip.  Made Mongolian Beef w/broccoli and fried vermicelli rice noodles.  Honestly, broccoli was best, roasted in oven before tossing in with stir fry. (Used the stems too, sliced thin and done like confit)

It was freshly grated Monterey jack. I put a light drizzle of enchilada sauce on top before the cheese. The tortillas get too soggy with sauces on top even after frying them. I was thinking about doing a sauce as a post cook topping next time add some depth to the flavor profile.

We usually use a short wire rack to raise the plate so the steam from below is not blocked, when away and in a pinch we use foil balls instead. Tonight swmbo came up with the idea of broccoli stems, worked a treat.
It's hand extruded beef balls btw.

Fried pork chops and that viral “stick of butter rice.”

Yes sir it is.

Needed an easy dinner so made huevos rancheros with some andouille sausage. Cooked the sausage, removed from the pan and reduced a can of Rotel spicy tomatoes and poached the eggs in the reduction, put that on top of some refried beans, then everything was topped with queso fresco, sliced green onion, and a chipotle cream salsa.

Goodness! I honestly love when you throw down the Persian/Iranian cooks. Others too, but these really hit.

I have a story about Seagrove... the last time we were at ButtBlast, SWMBO wanted to roam around Seagrove. Stopped for lunch at a mom 'n' pop joint. Woman, one booth over, looks unwell, and did a faceplant in her soup. Came this close to starting CPR. EMS arrived, and knew her on a first name basis. The owners insisted on comping our meal. 

BeanHead

Wow @caliking we need a !!! reaction icon.  

Botch

@BeanHead's huevos rancheros were a lot more photogenic than mine,
 

 
... but my corn tortilla was fried in bacon grease.  

BeanHead

A+ for your tortillas last bath @Botch
Our lunch was spicy kimchi hotdogs with a soy glaze. That is why they call it fishing not catching 🤣, DH caught a nice legal bass today but we tossed it back because it was not enough for a meal.

^^^Man oh Man those dogs look so good 😋😋😋^^^^
