Thegreenchilemonster Cooks For Three

Since I recently found out that my wife is pregnant, I'll be cooking for 3

I figured I would share dishes throughout the pregnancy that are focused on providing an expecting mother the nutrients she needs to develop a healthy baby.

All of the meat I cook with will be organic, grass fed, and hormone free. All of the vegetables will be organic, and mostly home grown, until the season ends.

There will of course be chiles used in every meal, as always.

To start things off, last night I made this grass fed organic grilled butterflied leg of lamb, curried chickpeas, and steamed broccoli. Lots of quality folic acid and iron in there.

I marinated the lamb in olive oil, fresh garden rosemary, and a diced aji limo, before grilling it up.

It all looks fantastic, as usual. A couple of questions / comments:
 
Question 1 (hypothetical): If I'm in town, can I come for dinner?
 
Question 2 (real): where did the left over lamb go? 
 
Comment 1: Damn(!), you're shaming us all. (I love beets of any variety!)
 
Comment 2: I'm now going to have to pull out one of the frozen legs of lamb on the weekend I keep in the freezer for such occasions...  :lol:
 
Pappardelle tossed in a veal/san marzano sauce, and a garden salad with roasted golden beets topped with an aji limo vinaigrette & dusted with black sesame seeds.

Also, a durian for dessert

GCM that looks killer!!!
 
I don't know if you watch Mark Weins but he's been in Peru and I thought of you when I saw this dish. The guy is making Sudado and it looks freaking awesome. I might need to try this.
 
It's set to the scene but this video has a few ceviche dishes you probably know about.

That sudado looked tasty! That's one of my wife's favorite Peruvian dishes that I cook.
