Lunch for Dinner: Spilled Milk #181

Salmon flatbreads and Thai grilled beef salad—these are both main dishes I eat year-round.

Your subscription means the world to me. I’ve spent over 40 years cooking, traveling and growing my community. The small fee helps compensate my team fairly. What's more, some of the proceeds from this newsletter will go toward charities like World Central Kitchen and Services for the UnderServed.

I’m a mess. Too much travel this week, so apologies for no traditional video, but here are the two recipes I made at the Cayman Cookout and pics of each.

I love cold food for lunch, and I love lunch for dinner, so these are both main dishes I eat year-round. There is a lot of learning and fun components here so even if you don’t make all the parts of all the dishes for these specific recipes you will have a lot of cool stuff in your back pocket.

• My cured gravlax

• The citrus salad

• Tomato water

• My pizza dough/flatbread recipe

• Potato crisps

I make the dough in wintertime, roll the balls out to fit inside a cast iron skillet and blister-cook them in there to serve with leg of lamb, kebabs, curries and so much more.

I typically slice the potato crisps for the salad like a chip but for this demo and in the pics you will see I did fine angel hair julienne. You do what works for you.

Anyway, enjoy these recipes, and AMAs drop on Friday!
