Yesterday, the kids and I came home from a long and lovely play date followed by an appointment (for the kids) with Vinny. We walked into the apartment and were welcomed...enveloped...by very yummy smells.
Clearly, the planned chicken salad had fallen by the wayside.
He made Turkey In A Blanket with an incredible mushroom gravy side.
I took a pass on the meat pie portion of the meal. I'll be practicing the Dragon's Way for the next six weeks and am cutting meat out starting this week (trying not to let my commitment waver on cutting out my beloved eggs next week...)
I couldn't resist the crust though and cut some off the ends of the oblong pie to enjoy.
For my main meal, I put together this perfect plate:
A fried egg (got distracted and it turned out over hard) over white rice with mushroom gravy.
As you know, I cannot get over these pastured eggs. If you love eggs, do not walk, run, and see if you can find a local source. I mean, seriously, take a look at this:
The color in this low light shot is actually pretty close. The yolk was this amazing deep orange and I'm not sure you can tell how thick and big it was. It was really spherical. Honestly, it's an honor to be able to eat these eggs. I love them.
I asked Red Sox Daddy if he followed a recipe or formula to make the gravy. He didn't. These are the ingredients he used:
• mushrooms
• scallions
• garlic
• veggie stock (we use this)
• corn starch (we use this)
• peas (we use frozen and organic)
He chopped and sautéed the first three ingredients in olive oil. He transferred this over to the food processor and processed it up. Back in the pan, he cooked the processed shrooms etc. with the stock and corn starch to get the gravy to his desired consistency. Then he added the peas.
It was delicious.
