Crab-Stuffed Twice Baked Potato

This  is my answer to a few request’s I received for unusual potato dishes.
If you use extra large potatoes as I have, I suggest that you bake them for two hours at 410 F. They will have browned slightly inside the skin and have a very different taste and texture than if you cook them only for the usual one hour.

Bon Appetit !   Life is Good !

Stew Of Split Pork Hock’s, Green Peas & Potatoes

>
>
Last  night’s late dinner was one of these “hate it or love it” dishes.
Obviously, I love my specialty cut’s and offal, realising that not everybody shares this love. On the other hand, For the folks who do love this stuff, there is never enough of it to find, neither in the supermarket, nor in the majority of restaurants. ( Sadly, most cooks these days lack the knowledge, experience and passion to prepare these dishes). So, for the benefit of my fellow offal and specialty cut’s lover’s, here is one of my more simple but, nevertheless, very satisfying concoctions.

Simple  dinner today after too much food during the past few day’s.
The inspiration to this came from the classic “Toast Hawaii”.
I just thought I’ll  kick it up a notch 🙂

Bone-In Rib Eye & “Stuff”

.
.
What  a great early dinner today (I started work at 4.00 am, so dinner at 5.0 pm does not sound so ridiculously early, does it? )
This dish was very satisfying, from the potatoes to the beans to the steak. I Sauteed everything in duck fat with lot’s of roasted garlic and used some leftover duck jus to lightly mash the potatoes and beans with, for a great flavor and texture  🙂

“Sauteed bone-in rib eye , with habichuelas blancas (smal white beans), potatoes, tomatoes, scallions and Duck jus”.

Bon Appetit !   Life is Good !

” Arroz Caldo “

Tonight’s Pinoy Dinner : Arroz Caldo

Arroz Caldo (literally translated as warm rice) is a type of congee (or lugaw)
that in texture and apparence somehow resembles risotto. Though this dish
is of Chinese origin, the (new) name was actually given by the Spaniards
because of pronunciation issues.

Suggested condiments :
Safflower (wild saffron),toasted garlic, calamansi, scallions raw egg yolk,
hard boiled egg are added to enhance the  flavor, color, and aroma of the dish.

I just love that stuff ! Live is Good !
