Not a Peck or Pickled

How do you like peppers?

Another gift from the neighbor who had leftovers from a party.

I sautéed them in a bit of olive oil.

Stored them in a glass jar in the fridge overnight.

The next day I sautéed some baby Bella mushrooms and thin chicken breasts which I cut into strips. Got out the cast iron skillet for the flour tortillas! Delicious.

Vegetable Ratatouille Moussaka by Chef Sam

Last week’s cooking class by Chef Sam.

He makes the most delicious dishes. In addition to the oven roasted vegetables he prepared a fresh tomato sauce and a béchamel sauce and added Parmesan cheese then baked hot 45 minutes with shredded mozzarella on top.

I was watching and missed photographing a few steps. Stay tuned for this week’s class with a complete photographic essay.

Bruschetta toasted with sundried tomatoes and butter on a sliced Sourdough loaf was served alongside the main dish.

You might have seen Chef Sam on the blog in May making Lentil  cheeseburgers and Caesar salad https://rutheh.com/2019/05/16/chef-sam-cooks/
