I am alwayz cooking up new things at will, and was wondering what anyone else would do differently if I threw something together as I often do. I always have great produce on hand and just look and cook, making everything I touch turn to pure mmmmmmmmmm!
What would you do, add subtract or improve upon the one I made myself sit and eat last night?
I minced a shallot, a tad bit of celery, about a third of a nice firm red pepper. Sautéed in olive oil for a while, I was in the mood for something a little wild so I got out some asparagus and snapped the tips off and set aside, I used my little food possessor and minced the rest of the stocks form the asparagus and threw them into sauté’. I got me some shitake shrooms and chopped them really fine also. I threw in a couple pad s of butter and minced a clove of elephant garlic, have you seen this stuff? MMMMMMMMMM. I clove is like seven or eight. Fresh basil like I could live without that! And about a half bottle of two buck chuck, white! What else are you going to do with it? I don’t drink anymore, but man if you are going to give it away I will cook with the stuff!!! LOL! I got some linguine from trader Joes that is really nice, garlic and basil I think it is, boiled me up some of that! I was In the mood for something a little creamy soooooo… Threw in the tips, got about a tablespoon of cream cheese, a couple of sour cream and mixed In the noodles to make sure all were covered In the sauce. Fresh olive French bread warmed on the stove and I was set!
What would you do to improve on such a dish? I think it would be pretty hard to do at this point it was so wonderful, but I am alwayz open to improvement when it comes to cooking. Peace!
