Rougeh's mom and niece were having dinner with us today so there was an extra level of worry that the food would turn out well. As those who have been following this blog, there have been just about as many misses as hits.
Today's dinner was a two day process. Step one slow cooked pork. This was not typical slow cooked pork as there was not bar-b-q sauce in this dish. It is all fresh products. Cilantro, basil, onions, garlic and seasonings, plus LOTS of water. Cook it on low for 18 hours. It falls apart in 18 hours and is perfection.
Next on to the Hollandaise sauce. Typically this is made of whipped egg, butter and cream. Only issue with that is Jasmine and her allergy. So my version was a ton harder to find, but find it I did. The work of searching and whipping and cooking was worth it. It is my new favorite sauce. I do not think there are many dishes that this would not taste WONDERFUL on.
Blanched green beans, easy and great.
I put all of these parts together with long grain white rice. The Hollandaise started by being plated on the green beans with rice and the pulled pork on the side. Seconds consisted of rice with Hollandaise on top of it. Rougeh loved all of it. He especially loved the sauce. Though he did take seconds of everything. The kids both ate all of their food and Rougeh's niece ate all of hers also. I loved this meal. I have liked many of my dishes, but I have not taken seconds of many, so wanting seconds of this means either I was really hungry or it was just really good. Happy days for me.
