What did I cook this weekend.....

[Staestc]

Homemade chilli. Even used some dried red beans. One of the best tasting batches ive made yet. Nice and thick with only a little beans.

That looks fantastic. Rancho Gordo Domingo Rojo? Will you share the recipe please? And did you cook or soak the beans separately or just cook them in the chilli? You've flung a craving on me! lol

 

[Evilgrin]

Cooked the beans separately. Used some of the bean water in the chili when i added the beans. 365 organic brand i think.

Main seasons are Williams Original Chili Seasoning, garlic powder, cumin powder and Kirkland No Salt Seasoning. 3lbs 85% lean ground beef and 2 cups chopped yellow onion. Can of Ro-tel tomatoes and green chiles (No salt added). Its pretty lean too so its needed a little avocado oil while browning the meat and onions.

Total sodium is super low so it does need salt added. I like the Williams because it has no salt added. I can adjust salt and "spice" separately.

Bacon wrapped scallops and everyone in the house doesn’t want to try one. I guess there’s more for me.

Comfort food. Cabbage and kielbasa soup with potatoes. Similar to something I remember my grandmother making when I was a kid. Hers was thicker, more like a stew, but tasted close to this.

OMG, how could anybody not want to try those???!!! I like doing fresh oysters that way too, with just a tiny bit of Slap Ya Mama sprinkled on top!

KFC clone with buttermilk/egg batter. It was okay but not extremely close to the original. Fried chicken is always great but I was specifically shooting for a specific result.

Finally made that BBQ pizza I was going to have a few nights ago

Accent is 100% MSG. Nearly all of them have been named 'flavor enhancer' unless you have an asian isle.

Luckily there is no shortage of SE Asian stores in my area. I can buy a 5 pound bag of MSG for just under $8. Incredibly cheaper than buying the little bottles/containers in the American stores.

Lime olive oil cake with some mint and 2oz of tequila. It's super yummy!!

Nongshim Kimchi Ramen bowl
A few ounces of pork neck bone meat and a few ounces of really old kimchi

Get another microwave safe bowl about 1" larger OD
Dump the seasoning pack in then the contents of the Nongshim bowl (Dried noodles and dried flakes)
Place the pork and kimchi around the outer edge. This is part of the reason you want the larger bowl
Fill the Nongshim bowl with hot water. It will be a little more now without noodle block in it
Poor that in your larger bowl
Microwave for 3.5min Stir about half way through
Let set one minute and enjoy

5 hour reduction soup. Clone of the Soup Nazi’s Mexican Chicken Chili. All Al’s recipes that I have seen are huge reductions, first to extract then concentrate flavors. This recipe is just awesome. Photos are 10:30 this morning then after simmering at 3:30 PM.

Smoking a turkey for the first time. I did a 2 day brine and then rubbed it down with homemade bbq rub. Put a tray underneath with apple juice, water, all the turkey parts, carrots, and herbs to make gravy.

 

[beermanpete]

Chili with beans and corn bread! Yum!

 

[BongoYodeler]

Prime rib with homemade horseradish cream sauce, lemon potato salad with bacon, and a refreshing Cherry Waldorf jello salad.

 

[beermanpete]

Risotto, shrimp, and cauliflower.

 

[TwistedGray]

Christmas buns, chestnuts, and a ribeye (wife likes prime rib; I don't, so she has her own prime rib roast).

 

[Temptd2]

Looks like prime rib was a popular option, LOL! With au jus and cheesy mashed cauliflower....and a lovely glass of 2016 Trefethen Cabernet.

 

[Brewbuzzard]

Actually my wife did the cooking all I made was the gravy.
Baked Chicken quarters, dressing, green beans, and gravy.

 

[BongoYodeler]

Been picking at leftovers since Christmas, figured it was time for a change. Made a pan of enchiladas.

 

[TwistedGray]

Did some foraging for the first time, and found some older oysters. Made soup for lunch and a medley of stuff for dinner.

 

[aharri1]

Homemade curry powder and curry sauce with air fried tofu.

Dinners for the last few days

Found this...did not eat

New Year's Eve Dinner.

 

[Temptd2]

Happy New Year! Looking forward to all the drool-worthy photographs on this thread this year!

This was lunch the other day - pork tamales/red Chile fried in bacon fat, plated with an over-easy egg - with a Modelo Negra beer and appropriate sauces. Lick the plate good!

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

German smoked pork loin and cheese omelet.

Not cooked yet but this is the lovely 20 pound plus boneless prime rib roast I bought at Costco; got 10 1.5" thick steaks, about 2 pounds of steak tips, and some nice trimmings to use when we grind meat for chili later this week.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

A small pot of beef vegetable soup using the 2 ribs from the Christmas roast. Will add soba noodles.

You need a vacuum sealer. How much per pound? I found it WAY cheaper to buy a prime rib roast and cut into steaks then buying the ribeye separately, too.

Oh I have two! A FoodSaver and an Avid Armor chamber sealer. I just wrap each steak in stretch tite first and freeze them before I seal - keeps the juice from getting squeezed out, although the chamber vac isn't so prone to doing that.

I think it was about $13/lb. for Prime. Yum yum!

Okay, that makes sense.

I went back to work today after a week and a half off for the holidays. My wife on the other hand is off one more week. So today I came home to a glorious smell as I walked into the house. She made a large pan of halupki. She even got some rye bread to go along with them. Delicious!!

 

[3 Dawg Night]

I cooked my first reverse-sear prime rib for my birthday, and it was *chef's kiss*.

 

[Evilgrin]

Cowboy Beans...Pintos seasoned with bacon and Kiolbassa brand all beef smoked sausage.....Oh and lots of onion

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

I made some calzones with prosciutto, ricotta and mozzarella. No picture it was late.

What is the difference between halupki and golumpki?

What is the difference between halupki and golumpki?

No difference as far as I know. I think it’s just different names based on who and where it was made.
