Tell and/or show us what you’re eating and/or cooking this week!
Tonight is my second attempt at shaks(o)uka. Sauce was thinner than would seem right from the examples I have seen, more of a chunkier red sauce that the very chunky, less saucy examples. Eggs were a bit more done that I’d like as well but not as cooked through as the first attempt. Super super tasty either way.
I’m planning on having some leftover pasta from the batch I made yesterday (just made a post with it if you want to see). Probably won’t be doing too much cooking because my wife is traveling for work a few days this week. I made a pork shoulder this weekend that I’ll be eating off of though.
Might thaw a whole chicken for chicken noodle soup but definitely doing chicken teriyaki and shrimp fried rice.
Just pulled some pork chops off the smoker and tomorrow is stir fry some some spicy peppers from the garden.
I also smoked some pork chops (and finished with a cast iron sear) for Monday’s dinner. I find it to be a very similar experience to a well-cooked steak at a fraction of the price.
My method in case someone is curious:
Heat smoker to 190F
Season pork chops and smoke until ~130F internal (about an hour)
Heat a cast iron on medium high with ample butter. Add a sprig of rosemary to the pan just before quickly searing the pork chops to ~140F internal (or whatever doneness you prefer)
