I've been having fun cooking this week -- clean-up not so much fun.

• Monday night dinner was pork in ginger-garlic wine sauce with mashed potatoes and green beans. Toe-curling yummy!


• Tuesday night dinner was pork in mustard sauce with tri-rice (brown basmati, wheat berries, and wild rice) and garden salad. Warm all over yummy!


• Tonight was grilled steak in a mustard/horseradish dressing with baked potatoes and steamed fresh broccoli in cheese sauce. Oh-oh-oh yummy!


Tomorrow is likely to be a little boring, but that's mostly because I don't want to spend terribly much time cooking and eating because I am WAY behind on putting together my herbal medicine talk for next month. And I don't have any free weekends between now and then!

Let's see:

Pork in Ginger Garlic Wine Sauce -- Take about two or three cloves of garlic and mash well (I prefer a food processor). Grate about a two-inch piece of ginger into the garlic. Reserve about half of the mixture for later in the cooking. Mix well and spread remainder over each side of two porks. Let sit for 1/2 hour. Heat skillet and a couple of tablespoons of canola oil (olive oil won't stand the temp) until nearly smoking. Brown each side well. Remove pork and deglaze skillet with about two cups of white wine. Return pork and remainder of garlic/ginger mixture and 1/4 teaspoon of salt to skillet. Cook until dcone.

Pork in Mustard Sauce -- Coat two pork steaks with dijon mustard, salt (to taste) and pepper (to taste). Pound lightly. Let sit for 1/2 hour. Let sit for 1/2 hour. Heat skillet and a couple of tablespoons of canola oil (olive oil won't stand the temp) until nearly smoking. Brown each side well. Remove pork and deglaze skillet with about two cups of white wine. Return pork and cook until done.

Steak in Mustard/Horseradish Sauce -- Mix two tablespoons of mustard and one tablespoon of grated horseradish. Lightly salt two steaks and coat with mixture. Place steaks on a hot grill and grill to taste (I prefer rare). Flip steak once it frees from the grill (or you will pull the dressing off the steak). After the first side is done and flipped, recoat with mixture.
