Looks great. You can be lazy and just make a meat loaf out of that.

I like that idea.  Mexican meatloaf.

Sorry. Posted it in 2007 on Hornfans. Thought most of y’all had seen it. \m/

This thread is incredible. I love it.

I made the Carne Guisada tonight with a few tweaks. I basically merged this recipe with the Robb Walsh Tex Mex version. I added chili powder, red potatoes, Serrano peppers with seeds, diced tomatoes, garlic cloves and powder. It came out really good. I have the cooking skills of an eleven year old. Pics aren’t great but the meal came out really well.

This weeks dinner concoctions:

Ribs and corn you know the deal…


Butternut squash soup with chorizo, coconut cream and pumpkin seeds…

[CoachTex 2624]

Reverse sear ribeye. 

[FartingMonk 3606]

Made Chinese BBQ pork of Char siu.  Didn't have meat hooks so I used two butter knives.  Turned out great 

[FartingMonk 3606]

Got bored.  Steamed a fish

[HouTex 1867]

Bacon and spinach quiche for brunch this morning.  Quite good.  

[Beer Drinker 615]

Ribeye cap, fried eggs, biscuits n gravy.

Was off today so had time to cook and made cioppino. 

[Brisketexan 105142]

Was off today so had time to cook and made cioppino. 

Man…I love cioppino so much.

I too was home (worked a bunch, but was home). Made a NM combo plate for dinner:




Green chile chicken enchiladas, carne adovada (cheat code: use the HEB Mi Tienda red chile sauce as your simmering base. I added onions, garlic, some chipotle in adobo, and some water to simmer and cook down. Used a little over 2 lbs pork. Seriously, it came out badass.). Posole and refrieds on the side. Happy wife.

[ocugolf 1214]

Give plating a 0, but these Cajun smothered pork chops over crispy smashed potatoes with some squash was fucking delish.

Same.  And if you're not looking to cook shit lately, Mongers on Guadalupe offers cioppino as a special every now and then that kicks ass.

Felt like some mother fucking stirfry tonight…

Scallops went hard!

[South Austin 52508]

Recipe for the rice, please? Central Market has something very similar in their pre-made meal section and I pick it up every once in a while.

Yes! Exactly the inspiration I used, even if mine has fewer ingredients. Just steamed the following:

- jasmine rice
- cilantro
- lemon juice
- lemon zest

Finished with olive oil and poppy seeds.

Tonight’s meal - Plank sockeye atop northwest Brussel rice with a ginger/honey/tamari/chili glaze:

[MalibuSheriff 1090]

Kids requested old school hamburger steaks tonight.  Went crazy and added some leeks in addition to the usual onions (or Onyawn as Justin Wilson would say).  My bride whipped up these bad ass oven baked potatoes she cooks with some sautéed asparagus.

 

[Zepol87 9186]

Hell yea. Hamburger steaks are one of my favorite meals from when I was younger that shit always hits.

That looks great.... can you share the recipes for both?

[WhatTheBuck 28781]

Recipe for grilled Caesar salad? Hmmm…I’m gonna go with:

Slice a heart of romaine in two, throw the halves of lettuce face down on the grill. Might want to brush them with extra virgin olive oil first. When they’ve got a little char on them, remove them and top with Caesar dressing, Caesar croutons, and fresh grated Parmesan cheese. Fresh ground black pepper would be nice too.

That about cover it?

Teriyaki/Jalapeno/Ranch wangs.  Just got a wild hair and threw what I could find in the pantry at 'em.  There are good wings & then there's next level.  These are the 2nd one--

 I found an Island Teriyaki bottle half full in my pantry, but it wasn't enough, so I poured about 1/4 cup of juice from a jalapeño jar into it and then rummaged up one of those spice shakers of powdered ranch dressing you get from Costco.  Shook up the bottle and bathed those wings in that stuff then coated them with the ranch.  At first I put the wings on the top shelf of the grill at medium heat to render out some of the fat (maybe 12 -15 min) and then I moved all of them to the bottom shelf and turned up the heat full blast to get them charred up.  After that I put all of them back into the pyrex that I marinated them in and then put that back on the grill in the pyrex at low heat to render down all of that marinade and kill whatever salmonella was creeping around in there.  Once that started to caramelized I pulled the whole thing off, let it cool down, mixed the wings around in that gooey sauce, and then ate the ever livin' shit out of them.

Best I've ever had bar none and it was all mainly just an accident.  I had no plan.

Metal pan, not pyrex. But you get the idea

This was the Island Teriyaki brand btw -

This is a really bad ass recipe to use with country style ribs. I use a pressure cooker and this can all be done in like 45-60 min.

This. This was a splurge meal in college. My typical meals were 75 cent -1$ meals poor man deals every decent restaurant in Memphis had back then. Turnip greens, green onions, and cornbread at lunch at a steakhouse. Beans rice and enchilada gravy at the TexMex joint. Fried rice and an egg roll at the Chinese joint. A bbq baloney sandwich. Leftover knishes at the Jewish deli.

I’ve been wanting to try making Tahdig, so last night was the night. Girlfriend had a TikTok recipe for some middle eastern-ish chicken thighs, so she made those and a little cucumber salad. I’m sure someone’s Persian grandmother could tell me the 10 things I did wrong, but I thought the Tahdig turned out pretty damn good.
