Get them summer veggies together.

Love the decorative, non-functional, nicoise. If you're going to make it nice, don't use canned tuna and leave peel on the egg.

>>12455823
What? No. I'm American.

>>12455838
Aw yeah. Do you have a recipe, or just roast with olive oil and salt?

>>12455820
Push the anchovies off the plate and into the garbage and it's a winner.

my dad would make cold borscht every summer. shit was fucking nasty. I'd get all excited coming home expecting hot borscht when my mom promised it and then when she would tell me my dad made it my day was fucking ruined.

>>12455839
This is the Julia Childs recipe biotch.

1. I don't want to peel an egg.
2. Canned tuna is great with lemon and salt.
3. Only skin on if it's red potators.
4. Please contribute Summer recipe to thread.

I followed the one from tasty, except you only need one of each vegetable for a 12 inch skillet (they called for two), and before assembling the slices you can toss them in a small sprinkling of corn starch to help ward off a watery finished product.

Thank you

Also, don't use a cast iron. I did it purely for presentation/I knew the seasoning was strong enough to bring back without too much work, but in general acid + time is not great for cast irons.

>>12455880
True that

C'mon dorks. Doesn't anyone on /ck/ actually cook? You think someone would've posted at least some dumb shit by now like Caesar salad or charcoal grilled hot dogs.

>>12455861
I was thinking of making ratatouille or gazpacho, some cold soups for Summer. Cold borscht is wrong, though.

Last summer I still worked in a kitchen, and came up with this. Cheese ravioli tossed in sauce made from roasted heirloom tomatoes, topped with crispy prosciutto, grated parm, and arugula dressed with lemon and olive oil.

Looks really good, anon! Thanks!

wut

For me, summer means BBQ cookouts. Pulled pork, steak, brisket, bacon-wrapped hotdogs topped with fried eggs, etc. and the sides like potato salad, slaw, grilled veggies, chinese chicken salad, watermelon, etc.
Also, picnics. Taking your favorite sandwichs, cheeses and cured meats, and a bottle of wine out in nature or at a concert is always nice.
Homemade ice cream and milkshakes are great when you can't stand the heat any more. Shitty popsicles and ice cream sandwiches are a fun too.
That said, other than the food I make for parties or with other people, I don't really change what I eat that much in summer.

Definitely not the biggest fan of turning the oven on in the summer but it's when the vegetables are in season. I'm a baker regardless though so the hot oven doesn't bother me too much.

>>12456040
Wow thanks! :D it was a big hit that week we ran it as a special.

For the sauce, I peeled and quartered good heirloom tomatoes, then roasted them with cloves of garlic and a couple sprigs of thyme until they started to caramelize to the pan just a little bit, then deglazed the pan with a little white wine. Purée the tomatoes, and then heat sauce to order, finish by stirring in a bit of cold butter before tossing with the ravioli. Garnishes are pretty self-explanatory, all done to order.

>>12455820
Gazpacho, obviously. Can't wait to go to the farmer's market next weekend and get the gazpacho train rolling, I eat it all summer long.

Summertime is backyard grilling time for me

>don't use canned tuna

This is completely incorrect. Canning has been around a lot longer than you think. Authentic Niçoise demands canned tuna.

>>12457683
Not true. I saw Julia Child make it with fresh tuna.

>>12457815

Fuck Julia fucking Child. Fuck her in the arse. Salade Niçoise is made with canned fish. Get the fuck out of here with your bullshit hipster seared yellowfin garbage.

>>12457815

She follows Escoffier's recipe apparently, so canned tuna.

Pic related is one of my favourite summer dishes. Yummy shakshuka, warm flatbread, glass of white wine. Perfect.

>>12455820
>Tuna, potatoes, vegetables

When did you realize you were gay?

>>12455921
>Cold borscht is wrong
fuck you, leftovers from the fridge is fucking awesome.
for an awesome summer soup, eat okroshka. also available with kvass, but only if you make kvas yourself (because there's fuckall ready-to-use products out there that are not sugared and carbonated lemonade with the name kvas stapled onto them)

>>12455921
Cold borscht is nice as long as you make it properly and don‘t just eat normal borscht cold.

>>12457859
Also this. Proper cold borscht aka svekolnik is more or less okroshka with beet stock instead of kvass.

Chicken danoise is one of my favourite summertime meals.

Whole roast chicken, served with rhubarb compote, new potatoes and pickled cucumbers on the side, and with gravy made from drippings and roast veg.

It sounds a little strange, but it really is a great dish.
