The second challenge in series humanodon started, will revolve around the color green. Whatever you conjure up, it must contain at least one green ingredient. The greener the better.
Anyone can enter. But entries must be submitted before Sunday eve, when I'll make a post where we decide who is the winner.
Go forth and cook thyselves something thenewgreen would be proud of! I'll post my dinner very soon.
EDIT: Here's my meal!
First off, we have the veggies. Champignons, broccoli, leek, zucchini and green onions.
I used some ground beef to give it some meat. Seasoned it with paprika powder, curry powder, some Kikkoman and Conimex soy sauce.
Who says men can't multitask? Cooking and checking the Hubski IRC at the same time.
Added green pesto and Philadelphia sour cream to give it more flavour.
And the result! I used a bit too much butter and too little veggies but it turned out pretty tasty.
Alright, here is what I made:
I skinned a cucumber, cut it in half and took out the seeds/inside with a spoon. Then I cut the cucumber in strips, squeezed out the water and then put it in a bowl along with 1 quart of plain yogurt. In a small pan I took a chopped shallot and browned it in some butter. I added the shallots to the bowl with the yogurt and cucumber. I added some white wine vinegar, some olive oil and some fresh kale. I used my new hand blender and made what would be the sauce for my meal. -ghostoffuffle, you'll note that it is an extremely familiar recipe.
I then made boiled some wasabi, mung bean pasta till it was about 1/2 done. In a large frying pan, I heated some butter, white wine, fresh ginger and lemon juice I tossed in my noodles and the sauce that I had made. I added some goat cheese to it.
I grilled my ribeye steak. By the way, I made sure it was "grass fed" beef for the "green" challenge. Just salt and pepper, nothing fancy, but good beef needs no help.
While this was grilling I took my avocado's and put them in a bowl with some lemon juice, jalapeño and salt/pepper. I used my new hand blender toy and within minutes had some amazingly fluffy and creamy guacamole. It was damn good. So good that it didn't last long enough to get a good picture:
I plated the entree and garnished with capers, goat cheese and cilantro. Here its the finished product again:
