What did I cook this weekend.....

[mattmmille]

Did I start a pozole craze, your the second person to post it since I did mine, so good!

I actually had some cooked pork that I was planning on using to make pazole, but I had been waiting for my back to get better and make a grocery run for the hominy, lime, and cilantro. I'm happy with the results...spicey, but not too much. Just a building heat.

Mmmmm.... Duck fat

Mmmmm.... Duck fat

Duck fat is amazing lol I make a kind of fancy tater tot that's cooked in duck fat, and then deep fried in duck fat. Not the healthiest thing in the world but absolutely amazing.

Thanks! Yeah, back went out Dec 28 and really just got back to almost normal a couple of days ago. Coincidence on the pazole, but its a good time of year for it and a terrific dish. Probably even taste better tomorrow!

Winter staple in our house: sweet potato soup. Super easy too.

Onions, celery, and carrots thrown in a dutch oven with some olive oil, cooked until they start to sweat (or longer, whatever). Add in your sweet potatoes and cook them for a few minutes too. Add some cinnamon, nutmeg, and a chipoltle pepper or two. Cover with chicken broth.

Simmer until everything is cooked through, then hit it with an immersion blender. Velvety smooth, super tasty, stupid simple to put together, surprisingly filling, and pretty good for you.

Looks very good! Dried Chipotle chilies or Chipotle in Adobo sauce?

Adobo. Only put in one since wife isn't as big of a fan of heat as me.
My bowl had a few extra in the bottom though

 

[ChefRex]

I love sweet potatoes with chipotle!

It was above freezing yesterday, so I fired up the grill.

I got some HUGE porterhouse style pork chops that were about 1 1/2 inches thick and put them in a simple brine. After a rinse, I rubbed them with a bit of Polish sausage seasoning, threw a little Apple wood on the coals and grilled them rare, along with sprouts and carrots.

Finally took the leeks from the garden and made my creamy leek potato soup, kept a few leeks to freeze. I make double batch of the soup "base" (no potatoes or half and half) and freeze half to use later. I didn't take a picture because it isn't so photogenic.

Served with bacon bits on top (bacon bacon bacon!) It was yum.

This thread always makes me so hungry....

The ankle biter called this "Chicken Lovely" when she was about 5 and the name stuck. Free range chicken breast, Spanish raw chorizo, tomatoes and orzo (or in this case mini pasta stars) with chestnut mushrooms, red chillies and green peppers.

Followed your directions and made this tonight. Big hit with herself. I did take the liberty of starting things off with a few Italian sausages in the pot. Took them out after browning and added them back at the end. Not ready to be a vegan.

Mouthwatering. The pasta looks beautifully cooked. Fantastically well presented. Tremendous deafening applause here in my corner of DFW.

Damn!!! That just looks fantastic. I want to know what all is in there and how you prepared it please!!

Thanks! I start off with a small white onion and two red chillies, both finely chopped. Add a tsp of red pepper paste about a teaspoon of smoked paprika and some EV olive oil and fry until onion is translucent. Add chopped chicken breast and two tbsp of dried Herbs de Provence along with a crushed garlic clove.

Add some Spanish cooking chorizo sausage chopped into slices and a can of chopped tomatoes. Slowly stir in 600ml of mushroom stock and about 250ml of Chianti (home brewed of course [emoji12]). Add 4 or 5 chopped chestnut mushrooms, a sliced bell pepper and a tsp of cocoa powder.

Add the orzo (or mini pasta stars in this case) and simmer until pasta is al dente and liquid absorbed. Season to taste and enjoy!

Try pit bbq'd duck or goose on a rotisserie. That's one of the things pop did that wanted me to learn low-n-slow to begin with. No time for pics, but I made hot biscuits, with poor man's gravy & chopped bacon in it. And more taters with that buttery, parsley'd gravy on'em.
