Shit I've Cooked Lately

Hell yeah. Sounds absolutely fantastic.

I got 2 pounds of gator meat in the freezer that I need to cook. I am frying half of it tomorrow, what should I do with the other pound? Piquant?

It isn’t fancy, but damn good. Red beans and rice

[JSB 677]

Smoked andouille, some left over bacon grease, simmered for 3 hours, fuck it was good. Seriously the best I’ve ever had.

If only I could figure out a way to put it on some nachos or naoche, either way

[NateHitch 1282]

I mentioned birria tacos earlier and it lit a fire, wanted to try them again. Was not disappointed

[shadow_operative2.0 16028]

Got a link to your recipe?

Charred Octopus

I'll be damned if this wasn't about as easy of an exotic dish that I've ever made.  Seemed really really elevated, but was really really basic.  Costco sells the octopus and the mashed potatoes then I just added some brussels and boom...fucking fantastic.  Charred the octopus on a screaming hot skillet on the grill.  Only thing I'd change is I should have added bacon.  Would have been perfect with that.  Highly recommend especially if you're trying to impress someone because it really comes off as some seriously gourmet shit.

I used that one, it makes a lot. We did tacos the first day and then had leftover stew the next day

[Anastasis 23485]

holy jesus.

[Reynolds Woodcock 4801]

That Birria is now on my list.

Any Israeli/Levant fans out there? I can’t get enough.

Zahav’s Jerusalem Hummus, with homemade pita and whole sea bass wrapped in grape leaves (didn’t get a post-cook shot, but very tasty). That Zahav hummus is a pain to make, but is like crack.

Indeed. That was well done.

Firing up some chicken fricassee from my Cajun friend’s cookbook. Similar to gumbo, but a much smaller quantity of roux and stock, so when it cooks down it’s more of a smother than a stew. Turnips are a nice touch.

[Anastasis 23485]

Made some fresh pasta and ravioli. Mixed ancho pepper with goat cheese and cottage cheese and spinach with garlic for the ravioli. Made a venison bolognese, and a spinach salad.

Chicken pot pie for dinner. The pie crust wasn’t spectacular but everything else was.

Man, haven’t been forced to cook ribs indoors in ages, but was pleased with the results. That okra slammed!

@Party_Taco what did you do for the okra? I love okra in all forms

[Party_Taco 3767]

[mention=1601]Party_Taco[/mention] what did you do for the okra? I love okra in all forms

Cut into half inch slices, tossed in S&P + paprika, cooked over medium heat in bacon grease. Tossed in the chopped up bacon and some garlic about halfway through.

Here’s tonight: Seared Tuna Tacos

For a moment I thought the first pic was the finished product and I wondered if you had crossed things up with the SteelShank thread...

Looks good man... would smash (especially with some cheese and spicy mustard)

Damn you come up with some good ideas.

[BearCountry11 1234]

Fun week of cooking. Tomahawks, lobster bisque (used the Watkins Bisque recipe), and fried turkey.

Red beans and rice. Adding a smoked ham hock made a big difference. Before serving, debone and shred the ham and put it back in. Andouille sausage as well

Winning. I do similarly with a hock. However, it often doesn’t cook through enough in the time it takes to make the beans. Remedy? Precook the hocks for a coupla hours, then add the stock and Hicks to the beans.

Red beans and rice with chunks of sausage and hocks? Victory.

Orange and Pomegranate Salad





Melon Wrapped in Jamon Serrano

[NateHitch 1282]

Had a few ripe mangos that I needed to get rid of. Tossed in salt and lime juice and coated one rack with tajin, one with ancho chile powder and one with a mix of ancho and arbole chili powder. Dehydrate at 135 for 6 hours

[BearCountry11 1234]

Stumbled across a new fried shrimp recipe and wanted to give it a try. Result was very very good. Let sit in a “marinade/egg wash” of hot sauce, yellow mustard, tonys, and eggs for a bit then fried. Crispy, flakey, delicious. Left them in the oil for a bit too long but no complaints from the family.

Do you mind sharing the recipe?  

[BearCountry11 1234]

Do you mind sharing the recipe?  

1 lb shrimp
1/3 cup mustard
1/3 cup hot sauce (I used franks)
1 cup flour (maybe a bit more)
3 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp tonys
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp old bay
0.5 tsp black pepper
2 eggs

Peel/devein shrimp and place in a large bowl. Add mustard, hot sauce, and eggs. Mix to combine and evenly coat the shrimp. Throw in spice mixture (tonys, garlic powder, black pepper, old bay) and stir.

Cover bowl and let sit for about 20 min while you get a pot of oil hot (I used peanut). Bring oil to 350 - I did 365 to account for the drop in temp when shrimp are added.

Put flour in a bowl and whisk in the cornstarch. I also added some garlic power and paprika. Remove shrimp from marinading bowl and to flour mixture. Toss to combine.

Fry shrimp in oil for 4-5 min (this seemed too long and I thought the shrimp were overdone - family disagreed). I did mine in batches then placed them on a wire rack once cooked.

Profit

That sounds really good, I am going to try this one. But I will fry them a little less, I normally fry shrimp about 3 minutes at 350.

Yeah I usually do a MAX of 4 min.  The recipe actually said 5-10 min (which shocked me) so I went over my usual cook time.  

[irishtexan 11522]

I had a bunch of pulled pork leftover so I made pulled pork enchiladas. Didn’t want to do verde and thought traditional cheese gravy wouldn’t really work well. I made a roux with 1/4 cup of vegetable oil and flour, did a tablespoon of ancho chili powder, a tablespoon of adobo from a can of chipotles, a teaspoon of garlic powder, a teaspoon of cumin, a teaspoon of smoked salt, a teaspoon of Mexican oregano, 8 ounces of tomato sauce, and a cup and a half of homemade chicken stock.

Stuffed the tortillas with pulled pork, Jack cheese and onions. Covered in sauce and more Jack cheese and onions and baked covered for 20. Then uncovered for another 20. Pulled them and topped with queso fresco and cilantro. Slammed and went hard.

Lamb chops with fresh spinach and pasta 

[South Austin 52603]

Coq au Riesling

Start with rendering chopped bacon and chicken skins and then add the mirepoix. Add the wine and herbs, throw in the chicken pieces and simmer a while. Set the chicken aside when cooked, strain the liquid, sauté mushrooms in some leftover bacon fat, thrown the liquid back into the pot, add creme fraiche, and toss the chicken back in. Serve with mashed potatoes. Get laid.

[Reynolds Woodcock 4801]

Hell yeah. I’ve posted coq a number of times on this thread, but have never tried the blanc version. On my list.

I was feeling old as dirt on my 33rd bday, so decided to kill a baby wine, make some beef Wellington, and throw on The Searchers.

[NateHitch 1282]

Goddamm, I lose track of this thread and get caught up and become overwhelmed with all the shit I need to try now. Well done gentlemen, carry on

Grilled duck breast with chili glaze sauce, along with some slightly over cooked duck fat potatoes.
