[NJCher]

Osso bucco, which has been in the slow cooker.

Roasted Brussels sprouts with balsamic.

Romaine lettuce, chopped, and topped with this new Israeli olive oil we have.

For an appetizer, I'm having baked Mediterranean crackers topped with chicken livers and some with cream cheese and pumpkin walnut jelly.

1. Comfort food

I'm alone in the Catskills and it's lightly snowing. Of course, there's a fire burning.

I'm making a simple beef stew using some potatoes, onions, carrots and celery that were in the fridge. I splashed some red wine into the mix for flavor. It's been a-cooking for a couple of hours and I'll have it with some fresh bread I picked up on the way here.

Chocolates for dessert.

3. welcome, ploppy

Chicken thighs are my favorite part. So many things you can do with them, too.

Hope you visit again. This is a very friendly group.

4. I'm with my mom...

...and she’s been on a vegetable kick lately! I introduced her to spaghetti squash a few weeks ago and she actually remembered she liked it and requested it (yay for small miracles 😇 . So we had that with butter & parm, sautéed asparagus with garlic, turnip greens, and dinner rolls. I had defrosted some chicken but we ignored it and I’ll take it home with me tomorrow. Miss posting in this group but I read it-and learn from it-every day

5. Ginger Hosin Tofu

Except, I don't have chicken, but I have tofu, so I tweaked. I drained the tofu. And I had frozen broccoli, so I oven roasted-dried the broccoli, a little chewy b/c I over roasted, but doable.
I marinaded the cubed tofu for 15 min then stirfried it.
Ginger Hoisin Chicken
Serves 4

Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, cut into thin slices
1/4 cup Soy Vay Hoisin Garlic Sauce and Marinade
3 cups broccoli florets
1 tablespoon peanut or vegetable oil
1 1/2 tablespoons minced or grated ginger
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 teaspoons sesame oil

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the chicken with 2 tablespoons of the Hoisin Garlic sauce. Allow the chicken to marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature.
Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to boil. Cook the broccoli for 2 minutes, then drain and set aside. (Tip: If you want the broccoli to maintain a bright green hue, add about 1/4 teaspoon baking soda to the boiling water before adding the broccoli.)
Heat the oil in wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, spread it evenly around the base of the pan, and allow it to sear on one side untouched for 1 to 2 minutes. Then stir-fry for another 1 minute, until it begins to lose its pink hue on both sides. Add the ginger and onions and cook for another 2 minutes.
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of Hoisin Garlic sauce, the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Stir until everything is well coated. Add the broccoli and give everything one last stir. Transfer to a large plate and serve.

----------------------

FLFC has just arisen from his slumbers and will be offered dry dog food which he only eats if offered as treats. After the appetizer he will dine on some sauteed ground beef with a sprinkle of shredded cheese because it's much better with cheese.
