Sunday was my and my man's sixth year anniversary (YAY US!) Anyway, we decided to stay in for a special romantic dinner after a day out at the Ninth Avenue Food Fair ending in a theater visit to see Star Trek (awesome, by the way). We wanted to try our new and exciting frozen protein (sounds so much better than fake meat...) food...Match 'Beef'. This stuff is AMAZING! It's like a ground beef substitute that you season as desired and form into patties or a loaf or ..whatever and bake or fry or....whatever! So we decided to make "steaks" with cremini mushroom red wine sauce and braised baby bok choy. We seasoned the 'beef' with pepper, chives and soy sauce, formed them into oval shapes and pan seared them. You SERIOUSLY need to check out Match products http://www.matchmeats.com/
Match is so great! We have tried the 'chicken, the 'crab' (our fave), and the 'pork'. So versatile.
So, long story short, we had an amazing meal. I am sure what made the meal was the 1982 Antinori Tignanello wine that was a gift from Dad and we had been storing for a special occasion such as this... And since we cheaped out on the 'not-going-to-dinner' part of our anniversary--we certainly made it up in wine.
Live long and prosper! Jzb
sounds yummy!! Happy anniversary! wasn't Star Trek awesome! Can't wait to hear more about your meals. There's nothing like healthy food that tastes delicious! xoxo
