Playing with finishes on the pulpo @afro_lou

Trying to figure out how a fancy little restaurant does theirs, and I figured it out...more or less

Sauteed in hot oil with garlic

Very quickly deep fried

Blasted at 450° for a few minutes on each side

 

[TwistedGray]

Meanwhile frijoles de charros substituting ham for bacon since we still have a butt load of ham.

 

[flars]

Not tonight but last night. Today was shopping and bar day.

[TwistedGray]

Pulpo, quinoa, and spicy salsa molcajete

 

[Scturo]

Roasted lemon chicken, roasted rosemary, garlic potatoes, and steamed veggies,

 

[Manufacturedevolution]

[TheDudeLebowski]

Chatham scallops, saffron rice and artichokes

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Felt wrong using the term jelly roll pan and not having made one since childhood. Muffins first use of ws gold, with and w out flash. The full coverage of golden crust was impressive. Last night had brisket and for the side, took those expensive little potatoes and cleaned them, brushed with evoo, sprinkled w kosher salt and threw in air fryer. It made them perfect in 20 or 30 minutes.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

^^^ Nice job on the jelly roll. My great grandmother used to make them.

Jeyuk bokkeum, well actually jeyuk kimchi bokkeum since i added kimchi to it. Pork belly braised in Korean pepper paste, a little dashi stock and kimchi. Sweet, sour, savory, spicy and just a tiny bit fishy.

Holy cow that looks good.

Three days of meals.
Rare burgers with sharp cheddar cheese. Had some really good 85% lean ground chuck. In the last few years my wife no longer likes beef brown all the way through. I like that change. French bread buns do not stand up to a juicy burger.

Hash browned potatoes with sort of an onion and cheese omelet. I'm trying to make good hash browns. I've made them several times. Others request them but I'm not satisfied. These were oven baked in a muffin pan. To me the best so far. One picture showing build with diced onion and cheese in the middle of the hash brown. Tips on good hash browns would not go unappreciated.

Last night pork loin schnitzel. One minute in the oil to keep the pork loin moist. My wife really likes the schnitzel recipes.

Shred your taters. Put them in a paper towel and squeeze all the liquid out in the sink. Put them on another paper towel on a plate and spread them out so they're kinda flat. Nuke them in the microwave for 2 minutes on high. Throw a 1/2 tbsp. of butter in a cast iron or non-stick skillet on medium high heat. When you see a browning around the edges, put the plate you used gor the microwave on top in the skillet and flip the whole pan over then slide the uncooked side into the skillet. Wait for the other side to brown and they're done. Best hash browns I've ever had. Wish I could take credit for the method but that honor belongs to Alton Brown of Serious Eats. Hope this helps.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

NY strips, salad and garlic naan.

 

[RevKev]

Fish tacos

 

[flars]

Four racks of country style ribs trimmed to St Louis style prepped for the smoker tomorrow. Supposed to be sunny and 49°F. Nice day to sit on the front porch tending the smoker. Lot of trimmed bits will be ready for snacking after a couple of hours in the smoker.

 

[Hanglow]

venison tikka kebabs and homemade naan

 

[paderwolf]

Pretzels!
First attempt, more of a hard pretzel then i planned, but i have the other half of the recipe in the freezer so I have another shot.

Good attempt. Check out what the mother of all Bretzels look like: Bakery Aisenbrey in Pforzheim, southern Germany.

What kind of pierogies?

Ha! We had pierogies tonight as well.

What kind?

I assume you both had potatoes and cheese.

My favorite was always prune. My mother used to make them from scratch. Potato, potato & cheese, rocota & raisin, sour kraut, and prune.

 

[ChefRex]

Eggplant

It’s what for dinner.

Yes, the last ones we had were potato/cheese. I do enjoy them made with sauerkraut as well. I've had them with several different kind of filling but never with lekvar (prune). Extra credit for making them from scratch!!

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Nice to see you back on the thread.

Mine were potato and roasted garlic from Aldi. Not a traditional filling but good. When I make them it's always potato and kraut.

My wife and I made a batch of sharp cheddar and potato pirogi. Love to boil them then throw them into a hot skillet with caramelized onion. Pretty tasty!
