Yesterday I made risotto with summer squash - it was a huge hit with my beloved other half! I used frozen, cooked squash, which thawed to a purée when put in the saucepan together with the sautéed scallions and butter. It was wonderful - the right balance of sweetness and savoury taste, fantastically creamy, and a bright orange colour. Of course, if made with fresh vegetables, it would be even nicer, but I can't really complain about the results.

I took leftover blackened skirt steak and sliced it really thing and made caramelized onions with steak and bleu cheese wraps. I didn't think the wife would like it, but she went nuts over it.

I know. I was in Cologne earlier this month for a business lunch. I didn't know the name of your restaurant, nor if you open for lunch, otherwise I might have popped in. |

Here another one of us, our famous
Tipsy pea soup. 1 pound green split peas 1 large onion 4 cloves garlic, or to taste 2 carrots 2 stalks celery 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary 1 tablespoon chopped fresh marjoram 2 bay leaves salt and pepper 4 tablespoons of whipped cream (one for each dish) champagne sort and rinse peas, then mash them. put in a large pot with 6 cups water, mix, bring to a boil and reduce heat to maintain a simmer. while the peas cook, chop onion, carrots and celery, including celery leaves, if available. add the chopped vegetables to the peas and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion softens, about 10 minutes. add rosemary, marjoram, bay leaves and minced or pressed garlic. stir in well and cook for several minutes to develop flavors. simmer until peas are soft, 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the age of the peas; it needs to become a kind of cream. taste for seasoning and serve hot. when serving, add a spoonful of whipped cream into the middle of each plate and pour in some champagne |

Cassoulet
Ingredients: 1 large can of white beans 2 Cabanossi (Italian kind of sausage, should be available at any good delicatessen; here a pic: http://www.flickr.com/photos/triotex/414007408/ ) 500 grams of minced beef (you can use minced lamb too, if you want to give it a slightly different flavor) 2 cloves of garlic (feel free to use more if you like garlic) 2 onions 50 ml of red wine salt, pepper, herbs de provence (in essence thyme, oregano, basil, marjoram, rosemary) 2 spoonfuls of olive oil breadcrumbs dice onions and garlic. fry onions in olive oil until they get glassy, then add garlic and minced meat. stir until minced meat has all turned gray, then add the wine. put beans into a fireproof pot and mix with the meat. cut Cabanossi into slices of about half an inch thickness and mix them under too. hack the spices, add them and mix them under. put a layer of breadcrumbs on top, then put pot into preheated oven at 200 Celsius (400 F). wait until breadcrumbs turn brown, then remove pot from oven, mix the breadcrumbs under, put another layer of breadcrumbs on top and put into oven again until breadcrumbs turn brown again. serve with a baguette and red wine. delicious, but illegal, immoral and fattening |

^^Haven't tried that one Dean, but I did put in two whole garlic bulbs with a roast of beef once. It works out just the same, and tastes delicious.

Mmmm Lemon and Chicken - the perfect combination .
Have you tried Chicken with 40 cloves of garlic? It's a classic and although it sounds horrendous it won't have you stripping paint at 10 paces - the garlic turns sweet and scrummy with nice caramelised bits to chew on. Basically it's the same as Angelo's chicken recipe but with 40 cloves of unpeeled garlic scattered around the bird while it roasts. Keeps away vampires too.

^^ You forgot a right bracket, Martin This discussion of meatloaf makes me want to do one next weekend. Today I did a roasted rooster: Take one rooster (1100-1400 grams), with skin. Stuff the belly with 3 quarters of a lemon, and some fresh rosemary. Loosen the skin on the breast, without tearing or cutting it. Stuff freshly chopped rosemary, thyme (and/or other green herbs) between the skin and the breast meat. Cover the breast side with a few slices smoked bacon. You can tie up the legs and wings now - or skip it like lazy me always does. Brown briefly in a large oven tray, with some olive oil and butter so that the bacon sticks to the breasts and the skin browns a bit on all sides. Take off the heat and add diced vegetables - I used kohlrabi, patatoes, carrots and onion today. Put in the over on 200 degrees centigrade for 45-60 minutes. Bon appetit!

I like a little bread (sourdough or cornbread) in my stuffing but of course it probably stemmed from the need to feed many, and to use up old bread. Dried fruit is another favorite of mine in dressing, apricots, prunes, cherries..

I don't like using bread in anything (excpet sandwiches) and always look for an alternative - Brioche in Bread and Butter pudding is good, crumbled cheesy crackers (ie Ritz) are a much tastier coating than breadcrumbs for fish cakes and I don't like bread based stuffing anyway so only use nuts and sausage meat for the yuletide turkey.

Leg of lamb is another. I had some leftovers from this weekend, and I put them on a sandwich today, with that orange-rosemary dressing that I proposed for salmon a few pages back. Fabulous lunch! |

Eric, I once heard of a Southern-style meatloaf recipe that used crushed cornflakes instead of breadcrumbs, and topped with a paste made from molasses, ketchup and brown sugar -- I'll have to try to find it, when you first mentioned making meatloaf I thought of that recipe...

I remember my mom sometimes cooked meatloaf in a tomato sauce, the same she would use for meatballs. BTW, I rarely use sausage in the mixture - I'd rather go for minced ham, and of course grated Parmesan and minced parsley, together with the aforementioned fresh breadcrumbs soaked in milk. As to the onion, I don't always use it, though it adds lots of flavour.
