European BBQ potato dinner

An interesting twist on sauce- we thought it tasted somewhere between orange chicken sauce and a tomato based BBQ sauce. I changed up the recipe into a quick dinner or side dish. You can add meat or not.
Make the sauce while you are cooking the potatoes.

In a hot skillet, fry
1 Tb butter
3 red potatoes, cut into thin slices
1/2 red onion, chopped
when the potatoes start to soften, push to one side and brown over med-hi heat
1/4-1/2 lb thinly sliced pork loin or chicken pieces
When the down side is brown (about 3 minutes),
sprinkle with salt and pepper then turn over and
sprinkle with salt and pepper again.
when browned on all sides, stir together into the potatoes and onions. Add
1 Tb dried or fresh rosemary, smashed in a mortar
Cover, reduce heat, stirring occasionally until the potatoes are done to your liking, I seasoned it with salt and pepper again.
I found the sauce too heavy and almost sweet so instead of adding it to the whole dish, I served it on the side as a condiment. You decide.

Sauce:
Mix together in a small jar:
1/2 c ketchup
1/2 c fresh orange juice (or 2 Tb concentrate, still frozen, just scooped out of the container)
1 Tb Worcestershire sauce
1 Tb sesame oil

Nicola's Fisk

 Cousins in Sweden served a fish meal that B really liked!  [That is a huge compliment as it's not her favorite protein.]  Nic makes it without a recipe so this is a general guide.  Layer a casserole with a bed of zucchini slices and add a layer cod pieces . Mix chopped flat leaf parsley (handful), softened butter (abt. 2 T), horseradish sauce (abt. 1 T) with a brick (8 oz) of cream cheese.  {It is easier if the ingredients are room temperature} Cover fish with sauce and bake for about 25 minutes at about 325-350 degrees [Swedish measurements are not equivalent]  Thin sauce with milk if needed. Serve with new baby potatoes baked in butter and dill and salt.

01-25 Dad's Quick Italian Meatballs

Mix 1 lb lean ground beef 2 eggs 1 c Italian bread crumbs 1/2 c spaghetti sauce (more or less, see how it looks) The longer you mix/beat them, the more tender they will be Form meatballs and bake at 350F about 12 minutes Use in meal immediately or freeze for later Put in spaghetti or any pasta will work. Meatball sandwiches would be good too!
