Lazy Dinner tonight

Lamb Rib Chops + Clams

Stuck the Lamb Chops in the broiler for 5 min on each side, then let rest for 1 min, covering with run off juices. (Very tasty)

Clams I cooked in white wine, butter, shallots, and pearl onions until they opened.

I got a bit lazy tonight

and copied this

It smells real good right now

Flattened Steak, Fajitas etc

So last night was a mixed bag. We had watched the Good Eats episode on flattened steak and I figured I'd give it a shot. Bought and cut up a large piece of beef and then began to pound on it. Got them pretty flat (not as flat as I'd like with my improvised tools) and pan fried them. I liked the increased surface area and cooking them like minute steaks, but I think I'm going to need to play with them a bit more before I report that I've perfected this dish. (They did seem to take to marinades and sauces a lot better, which was good for the soy I put on some of them)

Jaz made fajitas. Nothing too complicated with them, just some baked chicken with onions and peppers in a wrap. One thing she did that I thought was a good idea was use Yogurt instead of Sour Cream. It was very tasty and healthier.

That's all I got for now.

Pork Chops

So Jaz and I are both big lime fans. Knowing that, I figured out how to make a quick and easy pork chop with lots of lime flavor and very little prep/cook time.

Take a grill skillet and heat it up as high as it'll go. Then take garlic powder and lightly coat both sides of four pork chops (thinly sliced). Then toss the pork chops in the skillet and fill the bottom of the skillet with lime juice. Allow the lime juice to cook away and then replace. Continue to replace as you flip the pork and allow to cook until done.

See... quick and easy, and it tastes great!
