Beef brisket BBQ pasta

Protein, veggies and carbs in one perfect bowl. And the crowning glory? Grated Pecorino. It's truly a new level of deliciousness.

Beef brisket bbq pasta topped with fresh basil and grated Pecorino

Store-bought smoked beef brisket was used here. It turns out we have a neighbor who’s in the smoked meat business and we buy directly from them. We could have enjoyed the meat with bread or rice, as we usually do, but it was one of those days when I wanted to try something new.

I checked the fridge for vegetables, there was a lone eggplant, a couple of bell peppers and a container of beautiful cherry tomatoes. And suddenly, I had this image of a pasta dish with the smell and colors of a summer day.

Tossing cubed smoked beef brisket in butter and olive oil

Fatty and fully cooked, all I had to do was cut the slab of meat into cubes and heat them in butter. No need to add seasoning at this point because the beef was fully seasoned. Why risk ruining perfection, right?

Sauteeing garlic and onion, then adding diced eggplant

The cubes of beef brisket were scooped out leaving behind the butter that had soaked up some of the smoky goodness. Just perfect to saute chopped onion and butter in. Because eggplant takes longest to cook among the three vegetables, it went into the pan ahead of the other two.

Tossing bell peppers, cherry tomatoes and eggplants with sauteed onion and garlic

When the eggplant cubes were almost done, the diced bell pepper was thrown in. By the time the eggplant cubes were fully cooked, so were the pieces of bell pepper.

Tomatoes don’t really need cooking but since this is a hot dish, the halved cherry tomatoes were tossed with the eggplant and bell pepper just until heated through.

Adding pasta and smoked beef brisket to vegetables in pan

Fully cooked pasta was tossed with the vegetables until every strand was glistening with butter. Then, the beef went back into the pan and tossed with the noodles and vegetables. A squirt of lemon juice and… It smelled so good it was tempting to get a fork and eat the pasta dish right off the pan. But it was begging for some finishing touches.

So, into bowls went the pasta, meat and vegetables. Pecorino was grated directly over them. For a final touch, fresh basil leaves were torn and sprinkled over the bowls of pasta. Perfect.

A cook’s diary

Easy tasty risotto for home cooks

My Mac’s dictionary defines risotto as “an Italian dish of rice cooked in stock with other ingredients such as meat and vegetables.” For an Asian, that sounds like throwing everything in a rice cooker until everything is done. But it’s not quite that simple.

Food bowls: Asian versus non-Asian

Food bowls are traditionally Asian. Bibimbap, donburi, gaifan, bun cha — all of which are about harmony of ingredients. Western food bowls are entirely something else.

How to cook rice

Does rice need to be rinsed? Is soaking required? How much water should the rice cook in? The answers to all these and more in this guide to cooking rice, Asian-style.
