What did I cook this weekend.....

[Stauffbier]

It's 12am here, and I'm marinating some pork chops for tomorrow. I might love bbq!
I've been on a homebrew marinade kick lately. The possibilities are literally endless..

Tonight I made the marinade with peach saison, mustard, garlic, homemade orange syrup, celery salt, and pico de gallo rub. I'll remove the chops from the marinade in the morning, add bbq sauce and cook the concoction until it reduces to a thick sauce. I'll use that sauce to mop the chops while their on the grill.

Yes I suppose it does, but you shouldn't have to apologize.

I really don't do it often....

 

[boydster]

Just put my first batch of kraut into the fridge. Crunchy, tangy, delicious. Made it with a combination of red & green cabbage with some carrot.

 

[Melana]

Just put together sweet dough for tomorrows cinnamon buns.

 

[BUCKNUTS]

Chipotle and mushroom queso fundido

Tonight I made an Olive Garden Zuppa Toscana copy in homemade bread bowls. Just may have been the best bowl of soup that I've ever had

Good morning!

Good morning!

Melana, is that a Swedish holiday ring or is it more like large keflies?
Regards, GF.

Cinnamon rolls....

 

[cluckk]

Chicken breasts wrapped in bacon, pan seared and then roasted in the oven.

Melana, that's truly THE most AWESOME way to make cinnamon rolls I've ever seen or heard of! :rockin:
I'll bet they taste just as awesome as they look too.
Regards, GF.

Thanks. It was new to me as well.

Cinnamon rolls....View attachment 171707

Looks just like a mini version of the large tea rings mom used to make with pie filling. And she was Slovak...thanks for the memories!

 

[jsguitar]

Those cinnamon rolls look awesome! I haven't seen it done like that either. Looks cool.

Went to bed ridiculously early last night, got up early and made homemade waffles, eggs over medium, and fruit smoothies for the family. Time for a nap now.

Tonight's dinner: southwestern marinated grilled shrimp, spanish rice, grilled vidalia onions and cornbread. Wash it all down with a Rye IPA.

 

[gratus fermentatio]

I started making Cheesey's 5 bullion soup, but just couldn't leave well enough alone. I started adding things like it was stone soup & ended up with something like dragon soup.

Beef & chicken broth, ham base, a couple cups of water, bonito flakes, dried shrimp, dulce, coconut milk, curry, bay leaf, sweet basil, garlic, onion, celery, swiss chard, bok choy, broccoli, a little golden miso, soy sauce, mushrooms, frozen shrimp, crab meat, a dash of rooster sauce, black pepper, sweet basil, fresh ginger, ginger powder, a dash of nutmeg, lime juice, and maifun rice noodles.

My house smells very fishy now, but the soup is tasty!
Regards, GF.

GF i didn't see the kitchen sink on the list.... perhaps an oversight?

 

[Homercidal]

Made Pork Loin this weekend. Usual Feta Cheese with Spinach filling, but I added apple sauce, because, yeah know, apples sauce and pork go so good together...

Well, it wasn't great. I'll eat it, because I don't like to let things go to waste, but the family was not impressed. That was pretty much it for this weekend. It was a lazy weekend for cooking.

It wouldn't fit into the stewpot.

We went Indian last night.

The chicken was marinaded for 48 hours in Greek Yogurt, curry, turmeric, garam masala, ginger, garlic, onions, and salt and pepper.
Veggie curry had red potatoes, roasted eggplant, roasted butternut squash, roasted cauliflower, carrots, onions, garlic, tomatoes, coconut milk, and a touch of chicken stock. I'll definitely do this again, it's amazing.
The na'an turned out OK, but there's room for improvement. I used a pizza stone on the middle rack in a 500F oven for the first few minutes, then turned on the broiler to finish it off. I think next time I'll move the rack up one and just use the broiler all the way and replace eggs in my recipe with yogurt to get it nice and soft...maybe a touch of baking powder to get it to puff up?
This was my first time using Ghee and I have to say, I like it a lot better than regular butter.

 

[mcbaumannerb]

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.

 

[betarhoalphadelta]

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!)

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.

You bet it was! A bit of work but so worth it, I started it yesterday so I could cool and skim the fat. Packed a good bit of spice not that I'm complaining.
Very complex flavor. I will be revisiting this again.

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.

 

[passedpawn]

I use the low-sodium soy sauce too.

OT: BTW, are you a designer? Was wondering about the name.
