July 20, 2024 Breakfast - Bagels and Lox. Dinner - Lamb Meatball served with a red lentil and Sweet Potato Stew
I watched another exciting stage of the Tour that Tadej won and then toasted slices of bagel and spread them with cream cheese and garnished them with onion, Gravad lax, and capers. Suzette made a steak, potato and onion omelet for breakfast.
Suzette cooked red lentils and mixed shallots, Allepo seasoning, with ground lamb to make meatballs.
Then we staked the umbrella next to the Japanese maple. Suzette worked in the garden and I read my book until 4:00 when we drove to Cafe Istanbul and bought Allepo chili powder, yogurt milk, Harissa, pita bread, garbanzo beans, labni, and feta cheese.
We then drove to Smith’s and bought a large selection of cheese and a chicken and pork pate, a Chuck roast, Cream of Mushroom soup, dried onion soup, a parsnip, and two turnips, shallots, ice cream, bacon, and a root beer. We bought the ingredients for pot roastl
We drove home and Suzette added harissa to the meatball ingredients and rolled the ingredients into meatballs.
In a separate pot she sautéed 1/2 onion minced, 1/2 shallot minced and four cloves of garlic minced and added two sweet potato cubes and then 1 can of diced tomatoes and finally seasonings of 2 tsp. of Allepo chili, paprika, cumin, and salt and finally 2 cups of vegetable stock and cooked the ingredients until they turned into a stew.
She then fried the meatballs in oil and then fried mince fresh mint as a garnish for the meatballs.
Suzette spooned some lentil and sweet potato stew into a pasta bowl and added three meatballs to each bowl and garnished the meatballs with fried mint.
It was an unusual and delicious dinner as we return to the Middle Eastern diet.
We watched the WNBA All Star game against the USA Olympic team and the WHBA Allstars won.
We then watched Death in Paradise and blogged and went to bed.
Bon Appetit
