What are you cooking right now?

Had fam over for social distance waffles this morning.
Reason enough to break into the Mangalitsa bacon we picked up at the farmers market.
I think it’s a Hungarian heirloom breed of pig? Super fatty and supposably mad yummy.
Oh, and silly expensive ($20/lb?).

Also with local Tesla breakfast sausages. And confirmed yummy.
And yes, reserved all the rendered fat for future cooks.
 
Dinner: trout fillets in sage butter, with lemon potato salad and green salad.

Potato salad is dead simple (not overcooking the spuds is the hardest part). Will be a summer staple for sure.
I leave out the mint:
 
Tonight:
Mrs Manic’s famous bruschetta- also the taste of summer.

And Non-local manchego.

Leftover fixings? On the green salad.

Likely Tesla greens.

And local Tesla beef and corn.

His-n-hers.
Ima go broke eating Tesla beef, but it is totally worth it.

Corn was amazing this early in the year.
 
Any Hanger steak recipes? Have a few going on the BGE tomorrow.
I like this for flank or hangar:
1 pt Pineapple juice
1 pt low sodium soy sauce
1 pt water

Usually use a small can of pineapple juice, and then that’s the measuring cup for the rest.
The citrus breaks it down nicely, but not so much to mush the rest.
Usually marinade for 24-48hrs though, but 12 should catch some flavor.
