New year's persillade

I spent a bit of time on New Year's Eve doing some menu planning for my next cooking stream. I don't want to spoil anything, but I will say that it involves 6 dishes, none of which I've made before, and is an undertaking that will change the culinary landscape forever. That's totally not a baseless exaggeration or clickbait of any kind, but if you watch that next stream, you'll learn the 3 Key Secrects Why Chefs Hate Me And You Won't Believe Number Seven! 
Anyway, after looking at photos, making some drawings, and having a think, I decided that I also needed to eat that night. Since I'd already spent what little brainpower I had on a menu, I wanted to keep it simple for dinner, so I used an old fallback I learned from a Jacques Pepin video a few years ago: persillade. I started off by slicing up a chicken breast into little thin cutlets which I seasoned with salt and paprika.
I pan fried the chicken in butter and olive oil, as one does. 
The persillade part comes just as the chicken is finishing cooking. I had minced up a bit of garlic and parsley and kept that shit in a bowl off to the side. When I had about 15-20 seconds left on the chicken, I dumped all of that in and tossed it all around to give a little bit of a coating to the chicken, then pulled all the meat out to rest.
Rather than making an official "side dish" with this, I just made a quick saucy vegetable mix to top the chicken. I dumped some diced red onion into the pan after the chicken came out, let that sweat a little bit, then added some diced yellow bell pepper and thinly sliced baby bella mushrooms with another little bit of butter. I sprinkled a little salt to draw out the moisture, then let all of that simmer for a minute or two before I dumped in some thinly sliced radish, as well. I didn't want the radish to get too soft, so, while it still had a little bit of crunch, I pulled the veggies off the heat and got ready to eat.
The beauty of simplicity is that it's simple. I stacked some of the chicken in the middle of my plate, then scooped some of the veggies on top. Easy peasy. The green from the parsley and red from the radish gave a nice little bit of color to a somewhat otherwise monochromatic dish. 
Flavorwise, persillade is always a homerun. It's tough to go wrong with parsley, garlic, and butter. The extra butter that I added in with the mushrooms really went a long way towards giving the veggie "sauce" a nice, creamy texture, and the veggie blend with the butter came with just the faintest touch of sweetness that really brought it all home.

I don't understand food

Part 1 the morning after, while eating a sausage, egg, and cheese everything bagel from Bergen Bagels Last night, I had the pleasure, privilege, and audacity to eat at a Brooklyn restaurant named Aska . I know it's cliche to refer to a fancy restaurant meal as a life-changing experience, but this was straight up paradigm-shattering. I've written before about food being a medium of communication, about how I strive to reduce food waste as much as I can, about sharing our cultures and stories with each other through the meals we create, but seeing how Chef Fredrik Berselius is able to do this at such an intricate, elegant, and elevated level is both humbling and inspiring. The experience started before the first bite. I walked into the 10 table restaurant, and they knew me by name. I was shown to my table (right in the middle of the place, looking directly into the open kitchen), and they even pulled my chair out for me and pushed it up under me. I was a little uncomfortable with...

Restaurant week: My new Mexican restaurant

 As I mentioned the other day, my Mexican restaurant closed down. Luckily, they opened up in a new space a couple of months later. Great new look, new name ("Lopez Grill"), they've got a bar, staff is expanded, and the place is always packed. Business seems to be going great. Now, this isn't just a rehash of my post about the 'Dolo. While the menu is largely the same, there have been a few changes, plus I'm going to share a few things I've learned eating there. On my first visit to the new location (which was opening day, right when the doors opened; yes, I was standing in line outside with the other faithful), Señor Lopez brought me a bowl of their new salsa. He called it "guacamole salsa," but it's a jalapeño-based sauce. It's got an almost creamy texture, but is dairy-free (I asked for my vegan friend). Being a jalapeño salsa, it's got some heat, but not nearly as overbearing as some capsaicin-phobes may fear. It is perfectly bala...

Trying a new idea

I decided to try out a new concept: plain seasoning on my food with a bold sauce to kick it up a few notches. I was thinking that a pretty boring salmon fillet with a super flavorful sauce would be a fun way to put food on the plate. Sort of a "oh, this isn't that great, but wait! There's more!" kind of deal. I just salted the salmon and poached it in olive oil. Meanwhile, I also made some mashed potatoes with some sautéed green onion and orange bell pepper mixed in. A little butter, a little cream, yada yada. The potatoes were great. The salmon was boring. So how about that sauce? I made myself a roux (butter mixed with flour), then added in some white wine, and I let that simmer while I cooked the fish and potatoes. Unfortunately, it thickened up a bit much, so I added some more wine. With the extra wine, it was too watery, so I dropped in some creme fraiche, all while repeating my Randy Marsh impersonation of saying, "creme fraiche!" That gave it a great ...
