Colombian chicken stew

Image
Tonight's dinner was Colombian chicken stew after a recipe by J. Kenji Lopez-Alt. Somehow it didn't come out as brown as his recipe but it still was delicious. Potatoes simmered in the fat of chicken legs? Delish!  I was a little chicken to make it without any liquid on the bottom. I put half a cup of water to make myself feel better. I might have skipped it though because when I opened it, the pot was almost full of the cooking liquid that had come out of the veggies and chicken! Next time it could use some spices. Maybe curry? Maybe coconut milk?  Total time was actually probably a little more than an hour since it took almost half an hour for the pot to come to pressure.

Galbi jjim

Tonight's potluck dish was Galbi jjim. I made it in the Instant Pot following this recipe . I tripled the recipe which was a problem with our 6 quart pot. Not all the veggies fit inside and I cut down the water so that it wouldn't overfill the pot. The meat was a mix of some thick cut short ribs from Palama Supermarket and a couple of racks of beef short ribs from Safeway. Palama was $8.99/lb; Safeway was $2.99/lb. Not sure I could tell the difference. Either way, it came out amazing. Great potluck dish!

Lau Lau

Tonight's bag of luau leaves only had 7 leaves, not enough for 2 per lau lau! I think I used about 1.5 lbs of pork country style ribs inside so about 1/3 lb each. Side of lomi salmon and poke. I also got a day old bag of poi (freshest one on Sunday) and it was delicious, slightly tart and a little umami.
