Frittata with Sauteed Artichokes

This was a simple recipe from Deborah Madison's Vegetarian Suppers .

Catalan Paella

I don't make paella very often because neither Lisa nor Tess is particularly fond of it. I love it though so they have to eat it occasionally. This is a recipe from Penelope Casas' very good book Paella!: Spectacular Rice Dishes From Spain. The paella incorporates chicken, shrimp, mushrooms and a typical Catalan picada of nuts, garlic and parsley.

Pressure Cooker Chili

A repeat of the Alton Brown recipe.

Teriyaki Chicken

A repeat of another staple of ours.

Mini Burgers and Asparagus Omelet

I had a little hamburger meat left over so I made little mini-burgers. I supplemented with an asparagus omelet.

Zuni Cafe Hamburgers

When we went to Zuni Cafe last month, Lisa ordered a hamburger. It came on focaccia bread with arugula, pickled onions and aioli. The secret to the burger is to salt strips of chuck and leave them in the fridge for 24 hours prior to grinding. I made the focaccia from Cooks Illustrated's The New Best Recipe cookbook. The "recipe" for the Zuni Burger is in The Zuni Cafe Cookbook
.

Brined Pork Chops

Another repeat.
