Lentil Soup: A Solution to Leftover Turkey

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 03:00:30 +0000

Lentil Soup
© 2009 Kevin D Weeks

My family lived in Egypt in 1970 - 71 and our cook frequently served us roast turkey. The next day he would make stock from the turkey bones and then lentil soup using the stock. The lentil soup was one of my favorite meals because it turns out turkey and lentils just go together perfectly. This is a great way to not only make use of the bones, but some of the leftover turkey as well. Although the recipe makes a lot, it freezes beautifully. Recipe here...

Thanksgiving 2008: A Photo Gallery

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 03:00:06 +0000

Thanksgiving 2008

I seldom fix turkey for Thanksgiving. First, turkey has been so overbred even the dark meat is flavorless. Second, even a breast is a lot of food for two or three people. But occasionally I get nostalgic for the turkey dinners I grew up eating and cook one myself — as I did last year and made a point of photographing. Roast turkey and all the fixings for two - with just enough leftovers. Gallery here...

Pasta Bolognese: The Mercedes of Meat Sauces

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 03:00:36 +0000

Pasta Bolognese

Bolognese is the original meat sauce from which our American beef pasta sauces are derived. But comparing the real thing with what most of us are familiar with is like comparing a Mercedes to a Saturn, they both accomplish the same purpose but the Mercedes does it much more luxuriously. Also, a true Bolognese is a more a ragu (stew) than a sauce where the liquid flavors the meat rather than the reverse. This is another of those recipes better on day two so this recipe produces enough for leftovers. Recipe here...

Mushroom Minute Steaks: Cheap Meat, Great taste

Mushroom Minute Steaks

© 2009 Kevin D Weeks

I've been making this recipe for Mushroom Minute Steaks for at least 35 years. It only takes about 25 minutes from prep to eating - which is just enough time to zap some frozen peas or corn or to toss a salad. Dale's Steak Sauce is available in grocery stores all over the country and has a distinctly Asian character (soy sauce is a key ingredient). If I happen to have an open bottle of red wine I'll usually add a splash of it to the pan. Recipe here...
