A couple of really excellent simple dinners recently. On the left, oven-grilled skirt steak with peanut sauce, rice, avocado and sliced cucumber (and shishito peppers!). On the right, pork larb with rice and diced tomatoes, served as lettuce wraps. On the side I made green beans. For either of these we could have made it even easier by leaving out the cooked vegetables and just eating more raw salad. The peanut sauce is extra good because you can have it for lunch the next day with any protein or veggies you have lying around.
#simple dinners#flintandpyrite recipe blog#you can make larb with any ground meat or shredded firm tofu or shredded seitan#it’s just a really good mix of flavors#and don’t freak out looking at the larb ingredient list#you mostly need fish sauce and lime and salt#basil is a good substitute for mint and cilantro#we used red onion instead of shallot#it’s about the concept#and the toasted rice is great if you can manage
