I cooked a couple times over the weekend. Friday i decided that I should entertain my neighbor Joann & I also invited Patrick. Fun night with 4 doggies and 3 adults running around my apartment. It wasn't too bad..both dinner and dessert were "1 pot" meals. I was craving Spanakopita -- but I wanted to have some protein in the dish. I cooked some chicken breast that I added to the mix. I love spinach pie. I guess it all goes back to working with a greek family for a few years.
Dessert turned out AWESOME. I bought a few yellow peaches. I halved them and cut out the pit. Then I took out some of the pulp...That made room for the yummy filling. I used the pulp I removed, crushed amaretti cookies & sugar. After a quick mix i stuffed the peaches. Once in the pan I crumbled more cookies and drizzles some rum and sugar on top. 30 minutes later it was soooooooo good.
Saturday lunch came around and I had to use up some of the fresh japanese eggplant and green tomatoes I got from the Farmer's Market. I decided to try something new. First I needed a quick jaunt to the Central Market....Pizza Anyone?
I bought a multigrain crust to use, garlic lovers pasta sauce made with San Marzanos. I bought some herbed goat cheese, fresh shredded mozzarella, portabella mushroom & away I went. The sauce smelled awesome as i coated the pizza crust. Then I decided to help the veggies along and grilled the eggplant and green tomatoes. I also soaked the Portabella in EVOO & Balsamic. Then I grilled that as well. I placed the veggies all over the pizza and then dropped bits of the goat cheese all over. I sprinkled thyme all over the pizza, fresh cracked pepper & a little mix of my SW Seasoning. Then a nice top of mozzarella and it was ready for the oven. MMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm It was better than I hoped.
