An Engineer's Perspective – Page 45 – If an Engineer can't fix it, we're in trouble

Dehydrator Jerky

The marinade for this jerky is a standard western cowboy version that will keep you riding high in the saddle all damn day…that’s cowboy talk for it taste good.

Oven Baked Jerky

This is a tangy nitrate-free jerky you can make in the oven while avoiding all those nasty chemicals that are stuffed into jerky kits.

Peasant’s Lasagna

This is a simple but elegantly tasty lasagna that is so easy to make even an engineer can be a master.

Grilled salmon is one of those dishes that has as many variations as there are backyard grill masters. Of all fish, salmon is the best for grilling, it is a hearty fish that holds together well, plates well, and tastes the best.

Dill and Horseradish Salmon Sauce

Spoiler alert, this salmon sauce has horseradish in it to provide a punch to your salmon dish.

Rice PIlaf

Pilaf originated in Turkey but almost every culture today has a version of this rice based dish that’s cooked in stock along with other fresh ingredients.

Mediterranean Baked Walleye

This is part of my ongoing tribute to Walleye, the world’s best white fish. While it is true that there is no Walleye along the Mediterranean, all I can say to those fine folks is you need to visit the Dakotas to learn what good fish is all about.

Pavlova

Pavlova is a meringue cake that’s popular in New Zealand. If you’ve never made a meringue cake before, they can be tricky but this is pretty hearty recipe that won’t disappoint your next dessert.

Limonada Suica (Swiss Lemonade)

This is a Brazilian style cream limeade that seems to have been lost in translation since the translation is “Swiss Lemonade,” but there are no lemons in the recipe.

Oven Baked Breaded Fish

This is an alternate way to prepare breaded fish that does not require frying in oil. I find this approach more tasty, but maybe with a less crunchy crust.
