鯛(正確にはクロダイの仲間)を丸ごと、ウロコと内蔵と頭を取り、たっぷりの塩コショウを内外に振り、レモンとパセリを胴体に詰め、アスパラガスとプチトマトと共にフライパンに載せ、たっぷりとエキストラバージンオリーブオイルをかけまわしたものをオーブンで焼き上げました。頭を取ったのはフライパンに入らなかったので本当は残した方が見栄えも味も良くなるはずです。シンプルなのに美味。スズキやメバルなど、他の白身魚でも同様に同様に美味しいはずです。
Scaled and gutted a whole sea bream, sprinkled some salt and pepper inside and out, placed sliced lemons and parsly springs inside the cavity and on the fish, placed in a skillet with fresh asparagus and cherry tomatoes, poured a generous amount of extra virgin olive oil, then cooked in an oven until done. Simple yet delicious. Should be good made with any white fleshed fish (e.g., striped bass, rock cod).

Pizza Salmone del Sol 太陽のサーモンピザ
数年前に作ったものの再録ですが、友人と共に自家製ピザに凝っていた頃の一品です。サワークリームとマスタード、ディル等で作ったソースを塗り、アーティチョークと紫タマネギを載せたピザ生地を焼き、熱いうちに「生の」サーモンを載せて余熱で火を通し、ディルとケッパーを散らしたものです。名付けて「ピッツア・サルモーネ・デル・ソル」、「太陽のサーモンピザ」です。パリッとした台にとろっとしたサーモンで、予想以上の旨さ。
恥ずかしながらビデオもこちらに。
A friend was going through a homemade pizza phase a few years ago - this is a dish from those days. A detailed recipe is provided here (in Japanese). Baked a pizza dough with a sauce made with Dijon mustard, sour creme, chopped dill, and other herbs and spices sprinkled with some sliced red onions and artichokes - once that is cooked through, laid some sliced raw salmon and cooked them through with the residual heat, then served topped with some fresh dill and capers. We decided to call this "Pizza salmone del sol" - "Salmon pizza of the sun". Turned out to be a very delicious pizza - the combination of a crisp crust with rare salmon was exquisite.
We also shot a video, which I embed here at the risk of totally embarrassing myself.

Ginger Flavored Pork Stir-Fry 豚肉の生姜焼き
日本の家庭料理の定番の一つ、いわずと知れた豚肉の生姜焼き。摺り下ろした生姜とニンニク、砂糖、醤油と酒に漬け込んだ安いとこの豚肉をフライパンで炒め、焼き汁と共に千切りキャベツとトマトを添えて頂きました。白飯の最良の友。
Part of the standard Japanese household repertoire - and comfort food for many. Marinated some sliced pork (inexpensive "stir fry" cut works best) with grated ginger, garlic, sugar, soy sauce, and sake, then stir-fried in a skillet. Served with the pan juices with chopped raw cabbage and some tomatoes - a perfect combination with a bowl of white rice.

Petrale Sole Meunière with Peas and Tomatoes カレイのムニエル、グリーンピースとトマト添え
店で新鮮そうなカレイを見つけたので塩こしょうで味付けした小麦粉にくぐらせ、バターで両面をこんがりと焼いてムニエルとしました。グリーンピースとトマトを添え、白ワイン(ソーヴィニョンブラン)と頂きました。
Found some fresh Petrale sole filets at the local market so dredged it in seasoned flour then pan-fried in butter to make a meunière. Had with a side of peas and fresh tomatoes, and a nice glass of Sauvignon Blanc.

Minimal Effort Spaghetti Meatballs 手抜きスパゲッティミートボール
既製品の冷凍ミートボールと瓶入りトマトソースを活用した手抜きのスパッゲティとミートボールトマトソース。ソースを入れる前の鍋にオリーブ油でニンニクを少し炒めたのと、煮込む際に生のオレガノを加えた以外には殆ど手をかけていません。でも不思議とこういうパスタが食べたくなることがあります。
Classic comfort food made with minimal effort using frozen meatballs and bottled tomato sauce. Extent of work involved - sautéd some chopped garlic in olive oil before adding the sauce to the pan, and added a sprig of fresh oregano while stewing the sauce. One of those dishes that you crave for every now and then...

A Boeuf Bourguignon Variant ブッフ・ブルギニョン(のようなもの)
ブッフブルギニョンの作り方は以前こちらに記載しましたが、今回のものはベーコンを炒めて出た脂で肉を焼いたりマッシュルームを炒めたり、最後に脂の出切ったベーコンを混ぜたり、そして小タマネギではなく薄切りのタマネギを使ったり、とどことなくコックオーヴァン(鶏の赤ワイン煮込み、同じくブルゴーニュ料理)が混じった、少々手抜きの作り方です。幅広パスタと蒸したブロッコリーを添え、ジンファンデルに色々ブレンドしたカリフォルニアワインと頂きました。
A dish in the manner of a traditional French dish from the Bourgogne region, Boeuf bourguignon (beef stewed in red wine, Bourgogne style). Deviates from the traditional recipe in several ways, the most significant being the use of a whole bottle of California Syrah (and no other liquids) instead of a Pinot Noir to get a stronger wine flavor. Also did not use any beef stock since I had some beef bones on hand.
Made this dish on several occasions and previously blogged it here (in Japanese), but modified that recipe too, such as using fat rendered from bacon to sauté mushrooms, adding the crisp bacon bits back into the stew at the end, and using sliced onions instead of pearl onions. You may say that I applied some methods used when making coq au vin - or perhaps I got a bit lazy to follow a traditional recipe. Served this with some pappardelle pasta and steamed broccoli, and enjoyed with a California Zinfandel blend wine.

Grilled Yellowtail, Komatsua Leaves Stewed with Fried Tofu, Miso Soup, and Rice Mixed with Grains ハマチの塩焼き、小松菜と油揚げの煮物、味噌汁と雑穀入りご飯
これは昨年秋に作成。日本食スーパーで揃えた食材を定食屋っぽく。
- 塩をしたハマチの切り身をグリルパンで焼き目をつけて焼いたもの
- 小松菜と油揚げを出汁、醤油、みりん、砂糖で煮たもの
- ワカメとネギの味噌汁、カツオと昆布の出汁
- 土鍋で炊いた雑穀入りご飯
Made this combo of typical Japanese homestyle food last September after a trip to a local Japanese supermarket. An hommage to mom-and-pop eateries in Japan.
- A piece of yellowtail, salted and grilled on a grill pan to get the appetizing grill marks
- Komatsuna leaves stewed with aburaage (fried tofu) in a sauce made with dashi broth, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar
- Miso soup made with dashi, wakame seaweed and green onions
- White rice mixed with whole grains cooked in an earthenware pot (considered the best vessel to cook rice with)
Note: The dashi used was made by simmering dried kombu kelp and a mix of katsuobushi (dried and smoked bonito flakes) and sababushi (dried smoked mackerel flakes) in boiling water.
Patty Melt パティメルト
ハンバーガーパティを2枚焼いて間にチーズを挟んだものを、バターで焼いてマスタードを塗ったトーストの上に乗せ、さらにもう一枚バターで焼いたトーストで挟み、チーズが溶けるまで全体をフライパンで加熱した「パティメルト」というサンドイッチ。ピクルスを添えて頂きました。昨年春の製作。
Made this patty melt last spring. Placed a slice of cheese between two pan-fried hamburger patties, sandwiched them between two slices of toast cooked in butter spread with mustard, and cooked the whole thing on a skillet until the cheese melted.

"Cobb Salad" コブサラダ(風)
カリカリベーコン、トマト、アボカド、ロメインレタス、そしてゆで卵をベーコンから出た油とニンニク、ワインビネガー、ニンニクと粒入りマスタードで作ったドレッシング、というコブサラダ「風」なもの。昨年秋に作ったものです。
A pseudo-Cobb salad with crispy bacon, tomatoes, avocado, romaine, and hardboiled eggs, with a dressing made with bacon fat, wine vinegar, garlic and brown mustard. Made this last fall.

Crabs, Crabs, Crabs, and Salmon 蟹、蟹、蟹、そしてサーモン
いつも釣った魚を食べる仲間と、新年会を兼ねて北カリフォルニア地元の旬の味、ダンジネスクラブをいろいろ料理して食べました(サンフランシスコベイエリアでのダンジネスクラブの買い方・食べ方についてはこのブログに詳しく書かれています)。ハーフムーンベイに買いに行きましたが、漁港で船から、ではなく魚屋でサーモンの片身と大振りのホタテ貝(どちらも鮮度抜群)と共に購入しました。まずは前菜ということで塩とタイムとベイリーブを入れたお湯で茹でたもの。
Got together with the usual fishing and cooking group to eat Dungeness crab cooked in a variety of ways to kick off 2013 in style. Purchased the crabs, together with half a salmon and scallops (both freshly caught) at our usual fishmonger in Half Moon Bay (we could've bought the crabs from the fishing boats at the harbor, but it was a bit too late in the day to do so). For starts, we boiled a couple of crabs in salted water infused with herbs (thyme and bay leaves) as in the photo above.

三つ目は以前も取り上げたものに近いですが、カニのベトナム風というか東南アジア風辛味炒め。ニンニク、生姜、黒コショウ、そして青唐辛子をかなり効かせて、甲羅の中の身に味をつけます。
The third crab dish was a Vietnamese (or Southeast Asian) style stir-fried spicy crab, similar to this roasted crab dish that I preciously blogged. Used a lot of chopped garlic, ginger, black pepper, and green chiles - making it almost excessively spicy - but so that the flesh inside the shells take on a nice flavor.
4番目はリングイーネのトマト味のカニクリームソース和え。生のカニを殻付きのままぶつ切りにしたものを炒めたニンニクとタマネギ、缶トマトと白ワインと共に煮込み、カニの出汁を効かせたソース作り、それをアルデンテに茹でたリングイーネに絡め、パセリをまぶして頂きました。
The fourth crab dish was Linguine with a tomato-cream crab sauce. Chopped up a couple of crabs in their shells into bite-sized pieces and cooked them in a tomato sauce made with minced onions, garlic, whole tomatoes and white wine (which results in a tasty sauce full of crab flavor), tossed with Linguine cooked al dente and garnished with chopped parsley.
カニをさんざん食べたあとには以前このエントリで取り上げたサーモンの杉板焼き。ディルとレモンを載せて炭火で焼きました。この他にも焼いたホタテを海苔で巻いた「磯辺焼き」やスモークしたポテトのオーブン焼き、そしてポルチーニ風味のステーキを作ったのに加え、皆さん持ち寄りの大変美味しいいなり寿司やサラダ、お菓子などもあったのですがあいにく写真を取り損なってしまいました…すみません。
After feasting on crab, we also had this salmon roasted on a ceder plank (see this post) with dill and lemon. We also made other dishes such as grilled scallops wrapped in nori seaweed, smoked and oven fried fingerling potatoes, porcini rubbed steak, and the other guests brought items like inari sushi, salad, and dessert, all very tasty, but I neglected to take photos of them... my sincere thanks and apologies.

2つ目のカニ料理は「カニトースト」。オーブンでさっと焼いてディジョンマスタードを塗ったバゲットに、茹でてほぐしたカニの身をギリシャ風ヨーグルトで和え、タイム、パセリを混ぜて塩コショウとごく少量のトリュフオイルで味付けしたものにオリーブ油と混ぜてオーブンで香ばしく焼いたパン粉を載せたものです。NYで先日訪れたレストランで出て来た料理の真似というかアレンジ、といった一品です。
The second crab dish was a "crab toast", inspired by a dish we had at a restaurant in New York (not quite a replication but made along the same principles). Mixed the meat from freshly boiled crab with Greek yogurt, thyme, and parsley and seasoned with salt, pepper, and a dash of truffle oil, and served the mixture on toasted baguette with Dijon mustard, finished with with bread crumbs toasted with olive oil sprinkled on top.

Spicy Sausage and Kale with Orecchiette オレッキエッテパスタ、スパイシーソーセージとケール
Spicy sausage and kale with orecchiette pasta, a photo by naotakem on Flickr.
A few days into the new year, we got tired of Japanese food so made a simple pasta dish. Sauteėd finely chopped garlic and shallots in olive oil, then added crumbled spicy italian sausage (casing removed), cooked until brown, added some red wine, a bit of tomato paste, and chopped kale. Cooked until kale is wilted, then added Orecciette pasta cooked to al dente and a ladleful of pasta cooking water, tossed well, then served on a warm plate with freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano. Paired with a dry red Sicilian wine made with Nero d'Avola.

Porcini-Rosemary Crusted Roast Pork Shoulder 豚肩ロースのポルチーニとローズマリー風味
先日のローストビーフに続き、今度はポルチーニとローズマリー風味のローストポーク。年末のお呼ばれ先に下ごしらえをした肉を持ち込み、表面を焼き固めてから比較的低温(325℉=163℃)オーブンで肉の中身が165℉(74℃)焼き上げました。下ごしらえも牛よりは少し複雑な味にしたかったので、粉末にしたポルチーニとローズマリー、黒コショウは同じですが今回は少量のパプリカとオニオンパウダーを混ぜました。豚ロースも、前の晩に小さな穴をあちこちに開けたところにニンニクの小片を詰め、しかるのちに塩(コーシャソルト、フレーク状の塩)をして一晩冷蔵庫で寝かせました。焼き上げたあと15分ほどアルミホイルに包んで寝かせ、肉汁を落ち着かせるのがコツです。
A variation of the porcini-rosemary crusted rib roast previously posted - this time, a roast of pork shoulder. Prepped the shoulder by cutting small slits into the meat and stuffing them with slivers of garlic, then sprinkled generously with kosher salt and let it marinate overnight in the fridge. Next day, rubbed in dried porcini mushrooms, rosemary, and black peppercorns ground to a powder mixed with paprika and onion powder (being pork, I figured that some extra spices would enhance the flavor), browned the exterior, and roasted in an 325F oven until the temperature inside reached 160F. Best to let the juices settle by wrapping the meat in foil and resting for 15 minutes or so.
