Oh, the perfect dinner when you don't want to cook and you are eating alone (hehe).

Roast a whole bulb of garlic in the toaster oven with olive oil and sea or kosher salt.

On the table put a bottle of your favorite red, a chunk of good bleu cheese, the roasted garlic, good quality (preferably jarred) anchovy filets, and about a million good baguettes.

Eat everything on the bread either together or separately until your stomach is distended. Forget about getting kissed or getting nookie for at least 2 days.

I prefer the garlic as described with some good brie and some DARK caramelized onions, tons of baguette, etc....etc..
 
Bit of a rushed shot as the hungry masses were waiting to descend and devour.


Here is lamb with preserved lemons, hot Goan fish cury, butternut squash ( a bit of a seasonal favourite) and chickpea dal and kerelan omelette curry with pilau rice and selected breads.

The lamb is my personal favourite of the curries I cook. It is hot and sour and is a good way to make use f our home preserved lemons. They say if life gives you lemons, make lemonade, I'd rather preserve them and cook tagines and curries!

Now for a few bottles of black sheep from The Yorkshire Dales. :)

Oh man,is that good stuff! Might try it with left over turkey?...

....What? Shrimp and grits with turkey?......;)

Spicy seared chicken breast diced up, fresh cranberry beans(think BIG tasty pintos) sharp cheddar, fresh avacado, diced onions, maybe a little rice, wrapped up in a flour tortilla...........Oh man......ate 2 big ones. Should have stopped after 1 but it was so freakishly yummy.
 
No,replace the shrimp with left over turkey. something different for turkey day left overs. Otherwise,I love shrimp-n-grits!

While not a terrible idea, I think it would be an abomination to sub the shrimp for anything other than andouille.
 
Hush yo mouf foo! There aint no fat in that jive turkey! Andouille HAS to be greasy, spicy, artery-clogging goodness and there's only 1 kind of meat that will do. It's of the porcine persuasion. Dig?

I hung out with a girl from LA, everyonce and a while her uncle would bring up nutria or porcupine andouille, he was a trucker and hunted the country when he got a chance.. the nutria was so so, really swampy, but the porky was amazing, like atreebarky,spiced, orgasmic fantasy

The only thing nutria are good for is consuming old lead. I love the fact that you can basically sit on a levy in Nola with a .22 and legally shoot all of 'em you see. They used to have a $2 bounty on 'em, but the state/city couldn't afford to keep the reward going for long.

Did you misread my post or are you really telling me someone went to a crapload of trouble to harvest/pluck/skin/butcher a porcupine? I was talking about porcine aka porky the pig. Now wild boar is a totally different thing. It's a little tougher and gamier than domestic pork, but still REALLY tasty.
 
Ive had goat in rotti and in other Indian food, I think it was braised. I really like goat, probably more than beef for stewing applications.

Yo! I dig, my brother. I was merely trying to help out a lost soul who was trying to sub turkey for shrimp........anything close to andoullie would be an improvement!

Did you get to try any braised goat? Holy frackin bat turds that stuff is awesome!

Lived there, eaten that - cabrito. Was fond of telling my amigos that there was only one reason to eat the goat: because you already ate the cow!

But you are right... Done the right way, cabrito can be pretty tasty.

I have had goat stew at a local festival in Belize, Damn that was good!

I know you meant the pig but the porcine reminded me of porcupine. they are actually not all that hard to clean with a pair of cowhide gloves and scissors. In a good shot you can sit with a 22 and kill a dozen or so in a day. I havent had boar in sausage, but have had it pit roasted, its a flavor festival.
I dont think nutria is that bady really, its kinda of grassy and swampy flavored. My ex GF said it was like a fatty swamp squirrel.

Btw I like to braise goat, if the meat has alot of joint material in it, I did a goat nuckle [knee] in red wine, curry powder, rosemary and a few spice I cant remember.was extremely good The only way to cook it is low and slow, or else it dosnt have a great texture.
