(Another charming, slightly out of focus photo by yours truly...)
Just a simple weekday dinner, nothing fancy. Okay, the weekend meals aren't that elaborate either, most of the time, I gotta admit. Not during the holiday crunch, anyway...
As I was steaming some red potatoes and green beans, I took some fantastic Alaskan halibut (thanks again, Lloyd!), drizzled it with a bit of oil, and a touch of lemon juice and Survival Spice™.
While that was on the grill, I made a quick vinagerette of some butter, Tibvrtini Olio Extra Vergine di Oliva and Tibvrtini's amazing Aceto di Vino Bianco, along with some salt and pepper in a bowl.
When the veggies came out of the steamer, in they went into the dressing, sucking up the butter and all those great flavors.
The halibut was terrific, subtle with a great buttery texture. Just a pinch or two of seasoning was plenty. This would make a killer Nicoise salad. Hmmmm.... if there were any leftovers, that is.
What the hell is a potote?
Oops, thanks. I fixed it.
I searched on google for it and everything. Figured being a fancy chef you were pulling out some fancy ingredient on me. Google knew though, it asked, don't you mean Potatoes? Heh.
Yer killin' me...
Lesson for today: Never blog in a caffeine-deprived state.
I detest you, Pragmatic Chef. You and your scrumptious food.
I'll just go nibble on a pop tart now, my kitchen-illiterate self. :)
Uhhmmmm, the wife is going to see this!
