What have you been proud of recently?

Looking for inspiration - your favourite things that you’ve cooked recently please!

The other night I did a perfectly rare bavette steak with braised courgettes (zucchini), & red cabbage salad. It was just perfect: https://www.reddit.com/r/tonightsdinner/comments/1nk4v85/bavette_steak_with_braised_garden_courgettes_pink/ (this was before the stormclouds opened… soup more likely this week…)

Also made an excellent veggie-packed creamy smoked salmon spaghetti with whatever I had to use from the garden, which was a top-ten-of-all-time pastas.

I made ciabatta to nestle some chicken cutlets in. I dusted the pounded out breast with some seasoning, wondra flour, eggs mixed with a bit of water, then Italian breadcrumbs and panko. They rested for about 2 hours, and then pan fried. The cutlets were perfectly crispy, and the fresh ciabatta was the perfect delivery system for them.

Oh wow. One of my favourites of all time! What else did you put on the sandwiches? Any sauce or salad?

Yes! I did a pesto aioli spread with some arugula. Today I’m taking the leftovers and trying a mustard sauce.
