Hungry dad is back, but this is wife's request 🤯

Sometimes my wife surprises me, especially considering she doesn't usually beef, but today she asked for it. And here we go...

Beef Tenderloin 🥩:

Used 3.5g of salt and dry-brined it on the 291g tenderloin' (it's quite thick!), letting it rest in the fridge for at least an hour.
Added a tiny bit of avocado oil on a cold stainless steel pan. Rub it with the tenderloin to "spread" it.
Now the magic part... turn on a medium-low fire and let the tenderloin rest there. Flatten it a bit, but LEAVE IT ALONE.
When you start seeing a bit of brown emerge at the bottom, move the steak around the pan. You should see more brown, that's the signal to flip.
Repeat for a total flip of 2 times per large side, then sear the sides of the tenderloin.
Add in some butter for final basting.
I swear cold searing works very well on thick steaks.

Veggie Roast 🥕🍆:

I tossed the carrots and eggplants/brinjal with some avocado oil and salt. Roasted them at 220 deg C for around 25mins? (Was playing by ear)
The highlight on this day was the hummus... decided to try making from scratch again
1 can of chickpeas, juice from half a lemon, 3 tablespoons tahini, drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, 1 clove of smashed garlic.
Played with my newly-bought Powerpac hand blender! Brrrrr Whirrrrrrr (User review: motor is very silent).
Daughter even had some hummus with the carrots, I call that a win.

"Claypot" rice 🍚:

Well, nothing much to say here... I used the spice paste from the Asian Home Gourmet brand. It's kinda on the sweet side, so I may have added a lil' bit of soy sauce and oyster sauce. All in a rice-cooker.

We finished everything! But I learnt something about the hummus today and it sent me on a roller-coaster with the tracking... but never mind, I have already "closed shop", and I shall just assume it has that much fat.

Many hummus entries on MFP has a high amount of fat! That contributed to my 876kcal dinner entry.
When I searched for a typical chickpea entry on MFP, the fat was high too.
The above 2 searches were done with 1 cranky baby and 1 hyperactive-with-tantrums 3yo... so I didn't really scrutinize that much.
Today, I found out that the chickpea can I used (Daucy brand) has a lot less fat than the MFP entries, I should have made my own entry, considering I did not use a lot of olive oil too...
Guess that means I can try to estimate this evening if I reach home early and before I fetch the 3yo energizer bunny from school 😆
