On Saturday I changed my mind and grilled/broiled the lamb chops but I braised some leeks in the Instant Pot. They turned out very well.
Monday I have to go to the asparagus farm and then the following Monday will be my last asparagus purchase for the year. Seems to have gone by so fast this year.
Been a pretty quiet day today - I had a long nap in the afternoon and we had leftovers for supper. I had forgotten it was the dish I made with Italian Sausages and Peppers. It was very good. Now I have to get more sausages though.
Tuscan Roast Asparagus
Asparagus and tomatoes seasoned with salt and pepper and roasted to perfection with a topping of
1 1/2 lbs asparagus, trimmed
1 Tbs oil
1 Tbs lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 tsp oregano (or Italian seasoning)
1 large tomato, sliced thinly
1/2 cup parmigiano reggiano (parmesan), grated
1. Toss the asparagus and tomatoes in the oil, lemon juice and zest, salt and pepper, place the asparagus on a baking sheet in a single layer with the slices of tomato on top, sprinkle on the parmesan and roast in a preheated 400F/200C oven until they start to caramelize, about 15-20 minutes, mixing half way through.
Servings: 4

Have a great day
Hi Jo - glad things seem to be easier ... love this recipe for asparagus - ours is nearly done too. Take care - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteYes, not a doctor's appointment all week Hilary, unheard of lately. Going for lunch at Red Lobster tomorrow, hopefully.
DeleteYou probably needed a nap! I've never heard of the bear claws. I do have a meat masher from Pampered Chef that I love. It's great for mashing up meat as you cook it.
ReplyDeleteI did Liz. Now, I've never heard of a meat masher.
DeleteSunday deliveries. Get them from Amazon if I order on a Friday. Was looking at my old pressure cooker in the cabinet and think it is time to get rid of it. Doubt I will ever use it again.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that before Denise. Never used the original pressure cooker, but as you know, I love the Instant Pot.
DeleteWe get Sunday deliveries here. Anytime we pass a postal truck on a Sunday, we know they are out delivering Amazon packages.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't seem to be the post office Alex, it's a delivery company that bring it. They email you that they are coming and then email that they've been with a copy of your electronic signature.
DeleteThe bear claws look handy although the only meat in this house is chicken.
ReplyDeleteI needed them for shredding chicken the other day Diane. Something I cooked in the Instant Pot. Chicken Thighs but not sure what the recipe was, gotta check it out.
DeleteThose bear claws look like something for your hair:). Enjoy the last of the asparagus
ReplyDeleteLOL Birgit. I will although both you and ladydog feel the same about it.
