I'm STILL a self confessing, self professing know-it-all, or so I think!

On the cheap!!

Isn’t always the case, doesn’t often work out this way … but made this ’cause of the prices … Longo’s advertised ‘our lowest price of the year’ on Atlantic Salmon – $3.99/lb … also bought a 10 lb bag of cooking onions for $1.99 – very good price … AND a 10 lb bag of Yukon Gold potatoes that I bought during their previous week’s sale for $1.79 – even a better price!! Highland Farms had green cabbage (HUGE) and locally grown rapini both priced at $1.49 … the head and the bunch (cabbage and rapini, I mean, lol)!! Cabbage was a basic braising in butter Β … was very simple and easy, and as is usually the case with these type of recipes, very delicious. Funny thing: never made it before, never bought it for the matter … and I LOVE foods from the cabbage patch – broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprout, kale, rapini obviously … happy I finally did. Once again, lots of leftovers …

Poached Salmon ‘n onions …

Tender cabbage …

My famous rapini …

Lemon potatoes with caramelized onions …

Plated: with focaccia from OMG Baked Goodness (voted best in the city) …

Very European, very simple, earthy & hearty!! BTW, did ya notice my Wolfgang Puck, lol? πŸ˜‰
