Stuffed shells and warm spinach salad

We had some leftover lasagna noodles and pasta sauce from a while back so my wife made this ricotta stuffed shells. I made the warm spinach salad after this recipe from Alton Brown. Leftover Easter eggs for the toppings!

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.

Pizza and focaccia

My dad used to make pizza from scratch while I was growing up. I remember a rectangular dough, with toppings like cheddar cheese and Portuguese sausage, covered with corn meal.  We've made it many times ourselves over the years, but I can't remember when was the last time we made it. Because we've been watching the Great British Baking Show on Netflix, the kids decided to try it again. Recipe for the pizza dough came from the Art and Soul of Baking . After the rise Finished products here. The kids decided to roll their crust up to see if they could make stuffed crust. It didn't really work... The wife also made focaccia, some recipe off the internet. It was different because she baked it in our cast iron dutch oven. Here it is after the rise and out of the oven. Tasted better than it looked. It was salty and crusty. Next time we'll try with parmesan on top.

Ground beef coconut curry and spinach, from the Indian Instant Pot cookbook . It came out delicious--rich, spicy, full of veggies. I tried to sell it to the family like an Indian beef luau. My son and wife enjoyed it, but my daughter (who loves beef luau) did not buy this comparison. She ate leftover beef luau from last weekend.
