Another quick way to do naan is to heat a large frying pan or griddle and throw the dough on there. Once it is cooked then turn the flame down and lightly char each side.
Jamaican oxtail stew, rice and peas. Decadent peasant food. Forgot to get the bread in the pictures.
Oh dammit that looks good. I have been planning on making Oxtail stew for years.
#1 Wild Caught Shrimp and Scallop Teriyaki with Mung Bean Sprouts and Snow Peas on Rice
#2 Chicken Piccata w/ Meyer Lemons and Home Made Pasta
Both dishes look amazing.
I made the second dish frequently (I have a pasta maker and a lemon tree!). I need to do more dishes like your first one. My wife loves that kind of stuff.
I am a big piccata fan but unfortunately don't run across really good lemons often enough. I don't mind it tart but my wife prefers it more sweet.
As far as the other dish I've spent years trying to master cooking the seafood just right and making the sauce have the right flavor, body and sweetness. I've definitely got the cooking method nailed down on the seafood (A well oiled 450F cast iron skillet) and the sauce is getting close. I've found low sodium soy sauce to be a big help in bringing a lot of flavor to an asian sauce without making a salt bomb.
OT: BTW, are you a designer? Was wondering about the name.
Electrical Engineer.
Me too! I'm visiting one of my clients in Fenton MO next week. Do you know where that is?
Did a sous vide ribeye on Saturday. Since I don't have my circulator yet and didn't want to pull out all my homebrew equipment, I did the simple stovetop method.
Dusted with a Santa Maria style rub, a bit of chipotle, and black pepper, then in the bath at 133-135 degrees for a few hours. A little butter and a superheated cast-iron skillet later, and it was done.
Damn fine eats!
(And yes, it really was as big as it looks in the pics!)
Yes! Sous vide then quick sear (usually charcoal at 500*+) is how I cook all my thick cut and dry aged steaks. Turns out great doesn't it!? Did you go a few hours to try to infuse the seasonings, or just to raise the internal temp?
I should pick up a nice steak and try that sous vide thing this weekend. I have everything I need...
You'll wonder why you didn't try it sooner. It's almost criminal how easy it is to make a perfectly-cooked steak.
Mako shark steaks, grilled outside in single digit temps because ... why the heck not?
Served with couscous and garlicky sautéed spinach. Not bad for a Friday on a whim.
Pretzels.
Made up some french onion soup, sweet potato bisque, broccoli mushroom casserole and key lime cheesecake today.. Pretty much just cleaned out the fridge and tried to make some stuff to eat throughout the week ahead. Pie's still in the oven but everything else turned out really well.
I soaked 2lbs of black beans overnight for some ham bone soup. Got it on the stove now with a bunch of stemmed & burley cut collard greens,a sweet onion,& some sliced baby carrots. Cut some ham off the bone to add later. then some new potatoes & some left over,Italian inspired tomato soup I make that'll be added at the end. It's fresh garlic & EV olive oil will be great with some basic seasonings & a pan of spent grain biscuits!:rockin:
To nights is gonna be grilled elk (that I killed) loin steak with a mushroom & red wine (that I brewed) sauce.
