Spring has been thrown onto the back burner here on the east end of Long Island. It’s drizzly and snowy, and it looks like January outside. Last night, after building a roaring fire in the living room fireplace, digesting the miserable state of the world on network news, and imbibing a cocktail to wash down Libyan war and Japanese meltdown, I glumly headed to the kitchen to make dinner. Needless to say, I wasn’t in the mood to orchestrate some 2Gourmaniac culinary magic. I poked and prodded in the refrigerators and freezers and, lo and behold, I found a couple of cod cake “logs” tucked away in a freezer.
I took them out and ran them in the microwave for 45 seconds to thaw them just enough to be able to cut them into “cakes” or patties. I coated them with some Wondra and quickly sautéed them in olive oil. While they were cooking, I heated up some leftover asparagus pesto sauce and quickly steamed some green beans that I found in the refrigerator.
The whole meal came together in less than 10 minutes. In another 15 minutes, my stomach was full, and my outlook much improved.
For particulars on my cod cakes, I urge you to visit this link to a previous post:
