What did I cook this weekend.....

[Hoppy2bmerry]

I’m happy with the cook on this filet.

Thanks. I really should try confit. I've never done it, and I like to think of myself as a 'foodie' so there really is no excuse.

This is the easy method I've been using for the last few years for duck legs.

Love duck breast also but this purchase was legs only.

Ah sorry, my comments were really related to breasts. Magret is the one you want for that.

We eat a lot of duck confit in France, it's something we keep several bags of in the freezer. We like it grilled in the oven with chopped chestnuts sautéed in the fat.

It comes in bags of 2 or 4 legs, cooked, and packed mass quantities of duck fat. When someone shows up we can quickly thaw it and make dinner

I do the same thing, in vac bags.

I can't do that here because I can't get duck locally. Our food choices are limited in my small New Mexico town compared to the choices we have in our French town of the same size. Over there I can go to the grocery store and choose from duck, goose, rabbit, horse, veal, beef, pork, chicken, etc. Their fresh seafood counter is enormous, with plenty of fresh fish choices-here we have farmed salmon, cod, and a few shellfish options(all previously frozen). The cheese counter there is 3 times the size of our entire deli section, their deli section is as big as our meat counter with choices Americans can't even conceive of. Don't get me started on the quality of the veggies over there.

Wow. Count me envious!

Pork belly for Saturday night. 24 hours sous vide @ 165f finished under the broiler with a Korean bulgogi sauce. Three racks St.Louis ribs braising now for Super Bowl festivities.

Big ol plate of chicken wings. Not pictured is the lemon/cheese aioli dippy. All allergen friendly and was a big hit with everyone

I'll trade it all in for some fresh Hatch Green.

Brisket... 26 hrs sous vide @ 155f. Finished in oven, 275 convection for two hours. Resting now. When the bride gets home from shopping we'll slice it up. 2.5 lb flat that I took out of the freezer. No fat cap, and I can't remember what led to that. Looks good. Hoping for the best.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

That brisket sounds great. A sad and sensible rice, chicken and broccoli plate tonight.

 

[beermanpete]

We made a "Thanksgiving" turkey dinner.

Dreary rainy day here, so I made chili with ground beef and pork.

Looks great. I was just thinking about making another vat of chili. The family loves it and I only have 1 eight cup container left in the freezer. Since I make the second best chili on the planet, I should be replenishing our supply.

 

[Temptd2]

It has been rainy and blustery here - chili sounds good!

Brisket meet Brine.
Traveling for 8 days. When I get back next Saturday I'll rinse the brine then smoke it on Sunday.
Hello pastrami!

Perfect, except for the focus.

New place using elec instead of gas range. Cast ironed a butchers cut of top sirloin on an old Kenmore stove top. I still prefer gas but I will manage for now.

Coriander and orange peel... reminds me of my Belgian Amber. It's on the short list.

 

[corkybstewart]

Smoked pork shoulder, cornbread, and corn chowder(the wife cooked the chowder)

Family vacation. Can't go wrong with some freshly made lasagna and sauce.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Loin lamb chops, with salad.
