Been cooking out of the C@H book Cuisine Lite.
First up - Churrasco Skewers with Chimichurri Rojo. This was a 10!! It's flank steak marinated in red wine vinegar, evo, tomato paste, garlic, red pepper flakes and cumin. Now these by themselves were good. But combine that with the citrus salsa and the jasmine rice and you have a wonderful dish! The only change I made was I marinated the the beef for 4 hours. It doesn't call for marinating at all.
Second was tonights dinner - Beef Stroganoff with Herbed Noodles.
This dish was very tasty. However there needs to be modifications. The liquids need to be doubled as far as the chicken stock and beef stock are concerned. I used a whole can of beef stock and 1/2 can of chicken and the sauce was very, very thick. Maybe the flour should be a bit more than 1/4 cup but less than 1/2 as called for. But this with the noodles and dill sour cream was great!
Last weekend I did the mini Margherita Pizza's. These were good, but nothing marvelous about them. I had some leftover dough and used goat cheese and sundried tomatoes and basil. Much better flavors for an appy.
Tomorrow night I'm doing the "Fried" Chicken with the almond crust.
