Dude, I so love scallops. The best I have ever tasted were at Brown's Pie Shop in Lincoln, Lincolnshire, which surprised me till somebody slapped me and pointed out that "Dude, England is an island!! Of course they have great seafood!" Lol

Yours look awesome!

Dinner was served, gone now,View attachment 358406

Not much to say chef, other than another well done dinner that just looks awesome!

 

[Staestc]

Pressure cooked a piece of pork shoulder in 45 minutes. I am so shocked at how good it is. Using mattmmille suggestion I'm going to save the fat and juice to make posole.

I have a pressure cooker that I got to can things that need it. No idea how cook with it.

Off topic I know, but I'm not cooking at the moment because of this project. And I could not find a thread for I made a patio coffee table out of an old table from chili's! Lol. Not sanded and painted yet, but new base is all assembled and glued.

I'll take it a little further off topic and say, looks like a nice TJ (or LJ maybe?), from what can be seen.

Made homemade pasta and meatballs. Cornmeal instead of breadcrumbs because we were out. Cornmeal was a tasty substitute. I have heard you make pasta once before you buy a machine. Can someone help me pick a machine? Seems manual that goes straight to noodle makes sense. Kind of like the noodle gun

[actech]

I second the kitchen aid roller attachments. They have worked great for me. And very well built.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Has anyone used the Kitchen Aid meat grinder attachment? I hear grinding your own meat is the way to go. Get some sirloin tip and throw a couple of dabs of butter in it and you're good to go. I see KA has a plastic version and then a steel version. Supposedly one of these attachments does a good job.

 

[JonM]

The grinder works well. The sausage stuffer, not so much.

It doesn't look raw... Just juicy! I like my burger medium rare, and there's only a few places with enough confidence in their supply to cook it that way in a restaurant, so beef from the butcher and at home it the way to go for me.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Ah! I remember reading some complaints and I think it was the sausage stuffer and not the grinder. Do you have the plastic or steel one?

 

[JonM]

It's plastic with metal insides.

I just remembered: some reviews complained that the grinder produced "black residue." I saw the so-called "black residue" and it was immediately apparent that it was nothing more than a ground up blood vessel.

 

[Temptd2]

I have ground up hundreds of pounds of meat using the attachment for the KA. Love it. For burgers, I double-grind - coarse blade first, then re-run it through the fine blade. For chili or other uses, coarse-grind is great.

I read a bunch of negative reviews about the sausage stuffer so bought a 5 pound stuffer from Cabela's. Grind the meat with the KA, season, fill the stuffer, go!

 

[h22lude]

I don't have a picture but I made ground turkey burgers mixed with shallots, garlic, ginger and soy sauce with a siracha mayo on potato rolls.

 

[kev211]

Forgot to post it last night... I had left over pollo asada so I made a Mexican casserole

I found a 1lb roll of turkey sausage left in the freezer from wally world. So I made a sort of stew. With white onion petals, mushrooms, small dice potatoes, Corn, green beans & seasonings, with 3 cans of mushroom soup added to the minimal water the veggies & sausage boiled in. Turkey sausage was good torn into chunks, but melon baller to make mini meat balls would've been better.

The pasta attachment for the Kitchenaid is a great place to start. I love and use mine all the time.

 

[ChefRex]

Now I feel the need to pull all the Kitchen Aid attachments out, Pasta roller works great, had good luck with the grinder and I've used the stuffer, I don't make lots of sausage so it has fit my needs.
Perhaps fat food this weekend, ice cream maker is now in the freezer

That's no hamburger. It's a space station.

 

[KCBrewer]

Not the weekend, but was a pretty tasty weeknight meal.

Peppers stuffed with local ground beef, jalapeños, red onion, garlic, rice, and mango fire and Asiago cheese from Osceola cheese, then topped with fresh parm from there as well. Just enough heat to let you know it's there.

Picked up some "country style" ribs just 1.69/ lb with my juniper kraut, apples, greenbeans and rye bread.

Not the weekend,

Ya new here?

Looks good. I wanna make stuffed peppers with those striped bell peppers. They seem pretty sturdy and tasty...

 

[Temptd2]

Oooo pretty peppers - did you grow those? What variety are they?

Beautiful! Stuffed would really show them off. How is the flavor?

 

[KCBrewer]

To this thread, yes.

Have not seen those around here. Look neat, what is the flavor is like? On the sweeter side? Would be good to kick the heat up a little if so.

 

[passedpawn]

Enjoya Peppers. So new that seeds are not available. I'm looking for fresh to get the seeds.

Anybody see these locally?

 

[unionrdr]

That's the first time I ever saw'em? I wonder if they're an heirloom variety?

 

[LakesideBrewing]

Deleted post.

 

[unionrdr]

Wife made fried chicken & mashed taters yesterday, with sour cream & chives! New two basket deep fryer comes in handy, as does the Pro 600 Kitchenaid with the toys...

 

[Staestc]

Corned beef with rub for pastrami. Two more days in the fridge uncovered, then on to the smoker Saturday!

With the KitchenAid attachment it rolls the pasta dough? Do I then have to cut it? That's why I'm thinking something that squirts out noodles. A nice version of this , thanks everyone for your help

Kitchenaid has several pasta attachments - one is an extruder, similar to that manual thingie you pictured (which I have, and it works well)and has half a dozen or so dies for different shapes; and then they also have roller/cutter attachments, which I'm lusting after but probably won't buy any time soon because we do low-carb 98% of the time.
