What did I cook this weekend.....

[BrewingTravisty]

I like to cook the meat & onions in a pan & brown nicely while the potatoes, carrots, celery & such boil. I use beef stock to boil the veggies when I can. but also use beef soup powder base as well. Then put the meat/onion in the pot & add cajun brown gravy/roux mix to add flavor & thicken. then 1 can each drained peas & corn. a lil worcestershire sauce goes in. Cook 3C of rice to pour the stew over. Definitely beefier.

That sounds pretty good, I think growing up our beef stew always had a tomato base and I just never was a big fan of it

Found some old hot-dog buns in the freezer, got out some 92% lean ground beef, making sloppy joes tonight.

Oh, and I am cooking the carnitas down today, gonna let it sit overnight before taking the meat out to crisp up under the broiler. Should be awesome.

I dunno... Mine looks like something you'd have to clean up after a dog. Tasted good though xD and only cost $4 to make.

I'm doing a chicken chili with canalinni beans.
Roasted chilies, quick grilled the chicken to brown, sautéed the chilies with garlic and spices, added beans and then the chicken, and now simmering till chicken is cooked through. Then get the meat and skin off the bones and return to the pot.

Feeling under the weather so in the mood for a good chicken soup. Decided to make up a batch of Colombian-style chicken consommé (consome de pollo). Simple yet delicious. Cut up a whole chicken, added a pack of gizzards, browned the meat then sautéed up leeks, onions, and garlic. Added water, carrots, celery, cilantro, cumin, and potatoes and let it simmer for a few hours. Strain out everything but the broth, meat, and potatoes.

Both of these sound wonderful, very hearty looking too.

Tamarlane that just looks amazing!

Took the chicken out of my chili, pulled off the skin and bones, then shredded it. It's done!

Slow cooker ragu tonight. Put it on about 10 this morning, so 8-9 hours.

Beef just fell apart.. very good.

 

[betarhoalphadelta]

I'm super jealous. I have. A 2 burner electric stove >.> it's mostly useless. I hate electric stoves with a passion.

When I build the outdoor cook station for my kamado grills, I'm going to leave a spot for my Bayou Classic SQ14. I figure if I have it, I might as well use it.

Because you never know when you might need 5 gallons of chili or a ridiculously hot wok.

So you do have a camera

So you do have a camera

HA HA HA!! And up til now I really liked you.

Yes I do. But I have to remember to use it, and when faced with a plate of yummy food, sometimes that's all I am thinking about - burying my fork in it and getting it to my mouth! LOL!

 

[LakesideBrewing]

Making pasta; my happy place.

I managed to get a plated picture of the chicken chili last night, but of course never got around to posting it after pigging out!

Oh. those look good. I am hungry. Just deciding what to make tonight.

I just made a chili cheese dip, for the Superbowl. I was sad because I didn't have anything for the Superbowl and realized that I had cheese, chili beans, and sour cream. Add some jalapeño and onion, plus various chili seasonings and it makes a good quick dip. Not anything special but I have a nice unhealthy snack for the game so I'm happy.

 

[Remmy]

Thanks. They're really good. I'm having a few right now with grilled wings and potatoes.

Those look good, I'm a traditionalist with wings though lol deep fried is the way to go. Baked and then deep fried for the best texture.

What? No tostones?

Super Bowl cook:

 

[slym2none]

My little spread - enough for a dozen people, I'd say.

Pepperoni knots:

Garlic knots (I used half a head of roasted garlic for this 8" pan's worth):

Finished knots, along with chips & salsa (I was making the cheese sauce at this time):

Part of the spread - nacho & taco fixin's in the background: sliced jalapenos, diced raw onion (yuck!), thin-sliced radishes, lime wedges, shredded Colby/Jack cheese, shredded red cabbage, shredded iceberg lettuce:

Added view: concasse tomatoes, parsley ('cos I can't stand cilantro), and some old-ass plates:

Carnitas tacos meat & cheese sauce for the nachos:

Pepperoni knots are not worth the trouble. Garlic knots are always awesome. Tacos turned out really nice, first time I have cooked carnitas at home. Lots of leftovers, so tacos for days...

How did you do it without a working oven?

 

[slym2none]

I had to fiddle with the toaster oven for the knots. Bake them at one temp for a certain amount of time on one rack, then move the rack, reset the temp, and go again. It was a pain.

The carnitas get crisped up under the broiler, and the top element of the oven still works, so that was no problem.

 

[Remmy]

Grilled a couple of chicken leg quarters, shredded them and simmered them in in sofrito (the Puerto Rican kind). I then decided to make tacos with the meat...Along with tostones, of course.
