This dish is called “Okoy”. A Filipino savory fried fritter/pancake. Consists of carrots, sweet potatoes, onions and salmon bits.

Salmon bits are not traditional but I had leftover nabe and used the salmon and stock for this fritter batter. Nabe stock was too mild so I had to still add fish sauce to the batter.

Typically enjoyed with rice and a spiced vinegar dipping sauce.
 
Chicken Scarpariello, basically From Kenji-Lopez Alt with a few tweaks to make a slightly thicker sauce. His seemed too soupy.

Back on this med diet thing, trying to eat healthier overall. Had a lot of veg to use up. Peppers, mushroom, onion, broccoli, eggplant, zucchini . . . Time for baked veggie pasta? Excuse me, pasta al forno con verdure lol.

Started with an arrabbiata style tomato sauce. Onion, garlic, lots of chili flake, whole peeled san marzanos, hand crushed, bay leaf. Cook onion until translucent, then add garlic and chili, cook a bit more, then add the tomato and bay leaf. Simmer about 1 hour.

Meanwhile, cut and roast the veg in as many separate batches as you can deal with. Trying to get rid of moisture, caramelize, crisp, and develop as much flavor as you can at this stage.

Cook some pasta (used whole grain penne), toss with sauce, veggies, some basil and pecorino. Assemble and bake.

My sister recently had her baby and Im still not back to work so she flew me up to Seattle to cook for them for the week.
My brother in law is vegan. This is one of the meals I made. Light and refreshing for the summer.

1st course: Blistered Shishitos with a splash of soy sauce
2nd: steamed tofu with shitake tsuyu, topped with scallions and katsuo for us, nori for him
3rd: Assorted tsukemono over rice. Homemade daikon and fennel tsukemono with lemon zest. Shibazuke and Fukujinzuke were store bought.
4th: Zaru soba with shitake, sliced tamagoyaki for us, Just eggs tamagoyaki for him, grated daikon, wasabi, sliced nori.
5th: not pictured, her friend made peanut butter cheesecake bites. It was meh.

1st time using Just Eggs, not perfect but impressed how it turned out. If I didnt tell you they weren't vegan eggs you might not realize it. Vegan substitues have come a long way.
