What's your favorite Thanksgiving dish?
Submitted by Brennan.
Nothing in this world beats my grandmother's dressing. We actually used to fight over the leftovers! I have tried, but I've never been able to duplicate it, and sadly, I don't know when I'm ever going to make it back to her place to spend the holiday...
What do you eat when you're feeling oogey?
Is there anything that says summer as perfectly as a ripe, juicy tomato with a little salt and pepper sprinkled on? Swoon.
God, I love summer tomatoes.
We have some beautiful pork chops from the grass-fed pork guy at the
Petrosino Square Real Food Market which we are planning to cook up for
dinner tonight. Generally we would just have them simply grilled - olive oil, salt and pepper - but I also
have some gorgeous fresh chanterelles I want to do something with.
One thought I had is that I'd have Dietsch cook 'em up in our cast iron skillet and then I'd make a pan sauce with the mushrooms, deglazing the pan and using the drippings from the seared chops in the sauce. But then I thought maybe we could still grill the chops, but stuff them first with chanterelles and some fresh herbs. Or we could grill the chops and I could still make the pan sauce, but sans drippings. OR, I could incorporate the mushrooms into a side dish - sauteeing them with haricots verts or something like that.
Basically, I can't decide what to do.
Thoughts?
