What did I cook this weekend.....

[ChefRex]

I joined a site called The Curry House when I was going to England all the time. Lots of Indian recipes there that taste like what you get at the restaurants in the UK. Went more towards authentic Indian after that, but this Rendang recipe was one of the bonus recipes and I love it. More importantly my wife LOVES it!!

Do you have a link? I love indian food.

 

[Staestc]

Not on my phone. But I think if you google TheCurryHouse you will find it.

Wait. I googled from my phone bi think this is it. http://www.curryhouse.co.uk/

I had to pay once a long time ago to get full access. And he approaches all of his recipes as scaled down resturant recipes, but all the ones I have tried are just great!

Awesome, thanks for sharing! Thinking I'll buy the book off Amazon too as it's only $15.

If you do a search for BIR (British Indian Restaurant) recipes then you should get a lot too - most tend to use a base gravy then different spices are added for individual dishes. They make an interesting take on traditional indian curries, most are designed for takeaways so are quick - once you've made the base that is

I love pretzels! Did you use lye in the water bath?

 

[Staestc]

Wow. I need to figure out how to quote posts on the mobile app! My question is nowhere near the post I was asking about!

I was doing some writing of book 2 of my sci-fi series just now. They were having breakfast before heading to the pub/brewery for the day. I had his wife making left-over BBQ'd chicken with peppers, onions, taters & mushrooms with scrambled eggs. Well, that got me to remembering an episode of Triple D, where the place he was at made this for The Austrian Oak, called bauernfruhstuk; http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/german_farmers_breakfast/
It's been awhile since I made anything like this. With fresh veggies out of the garden, it's pretty good.

This is what happens when SWMBO leaves me alone for supper. Craklin Chicken using this recipe for the ghee.

It was a cold, wet, foggy day & I was grillin' & chillin'. Found a few well marbled NY strips at Costco & grilled 'em up nice & rare. Sides were cheesey garlic mashed potatoes & steamed veggies. Washed it all down with a few doppelbocks; it was a good day.
Regards, GF.

"Ribs, I had ribs for lunch..."

Marinated Teriyaki style: Mirin, Soy Sauce, Honey, Brown Sugar, garlic, crushed red chili flakes, and ginger. Grilled 4 minutes each side @ 450°F, was perfectly seared on the outside and medium-rare inside!

Looks good to me...

Those of you who live in Southern California can buy 4-lb bags of deboned, skin-on chicken thighs at Smart & Final Iris stores. I usually lose the skin and dice them up for stir fries, but I'm doing this next time I buy some.

I like to simmer thighs in roux made with the rendered schmaltz, mushrooms, a little shallot or onion, and chicken stock... kind of chicken with mushrooms in a little chicken gravy.

 

[ChefRex]

I did this through week

Turned a shoulder in to melt in the mouth chops, this will be revisited many times!
The very last of the kale from the garden and some roasted butternut on the side.

We were busy bees this weekend, so dinner yesterday used leftover roast. I believe I mentioned doing steak salad before. Green apples, cranberries, bleu cheese, and tasty steak on a whole mess of spinach (I swear there's some spinach under there). Dressed with a bit of balsamic and you've got a fantastic meal.

Wife also made some jelly. We had a mango and some habaneros I didn't get around to making hot sauce with, so we went with the next best thing and made some rather kickass jelly.

 

[mcbaumannerb]

I've been rather out of it on the thread for the past week and looks like I almost missed some great eats! It was a busy week though - scout meetings, band concerts, too much work and a heavy dose of baking. I did 144 dozen cookies to give out as gifts for friends & neighbors. Here are the twelve varieties I did this year (some so-so and some, like the lime & gin coconut macaroons are awesome)

 

[BUCKNUTS]

Damn that is impressive

 

[Homercidal]

Nothing. Sunday was supposed to be ribs day, but I ended up helping replace the toilet and floor in his bathroom. Took from noon til 10:30 at night. I hate plumbing.

His daughter made a cherry pie for me though.

I've used a bag of them for fricasseed chicken, instead of a whole cut-up chicken.

From a post I made a long time ago in a forum far, far away:

Cut up a critter and brown it, then add water, beer or stock and simmer it with onion, celery and carrots, garlic, and whatever seasonings you like (sage, oregano and bay for chicken and rabbit). Take the meat out, and either strain out the veggies or puree them, then cook the liquid down about halfway. Slow-brown a roux using flour and the skimmed fat or some butter, stir it into the simmering liquid, and when it starts thickening add half and half until you get the consistency of gravy you like. Put the meat back in, bring the gravy back up to the simmering point, and add salt, pepper and some lemon juice.

Serve with big buttermilk biscuits, lumpy mashed potatoes drowned in the gravy, corn on the cob, carrots glazed in brown sugar with a little ginger and black pepper, and finish off with sweet-potato pie.

I've been known to sautee sliced mushrooms in the skimmed fat or butter, and add them to the gravy along with the chicken pieces...

The only way to make that pic better would have been for each cookie's name to be a link to a recipe...

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm

Lime and gin coconut macaroon cookies? Seriously?

I think I need a couple of minutes alone right now.

 

[Cheesy_Goodness]

Put together another batch of mango habanero jelly last night. We doubled up and did a batch of marmalade too. Here's a picture that doesn't look like much at all for your viewing pleasure.

 

[paulthenurse]

Put a cup of white raisins, a cup of currents, a cup of chopped dried apricots, a cup of chopped dates and 1/4 cup of candied ginger in a bowl with two cups of brandy and let them all get acquainted overnight. When I get home later I'll mix up the batter(flour, eggs, lots of butter, vanilla and assorted spices)

I never liked fruitcake till I had homemade. What a difference from the 300 pound bricks that the commercial folks make. People actually look forward to getting my fruit cakes at Christmas.

[unionrdr]

I hate the candied fruit with the anise flavoring. Cake's a bit heavy too. Whole thing tastes like spiced anus...

 

[paulthenurse]

That's why I use dried fruits soaked in brandy. You're right about the other stuff.

 

[unionrdr]

Yours does sound better!...
