why do i always get suspicious when someone utters the phrase "nothing too fancy"?
Tossed a big chunk of lightly-seared pork in the slow-cooker with a chopped onion, salt, pepper, star anise, green sichuan pepper, couple dried chilis, half a liter of cola, and some cheap bbq sauce. That was supposed to be pulled and tossed on northwest Chinese style flatbread for last night's dinner until my wife decided to buy two kilograms of huge crawfish and invite a friend who's a chef over to fry em up in the local style, which translates to "oil braised crawfish", or sometimes "oil suffocated crawfish", depending how you write it. Excellent stuff.
Rabbit and artichoke paella, low carb using cauliflower instead of rice. Baked a whole rabbit on low heat for a few hours then picked off the meat and collected the juices.
I tried hitting 'like" a bunch of times, but it doesn't work.
Great idea using cauliflower instead of rice. And I haven't had rabbit in years. I should make a concerted effort to hunt this winter, but growing up we only hunted rabbits with a rabbit dog. I'm not even sure how to hunt them without one.
I should build a pen and raise some.
I just buy them in the supermarket and throw them in the freezer.
Yep, I always use cauliflower instead of rice when making paella. It's probably even better tasting.
Made schnitzel last night, there was a salad as well
Also made a pork vindaloo tonight, a more proper one rather than the british indian variation

recipe? looks awesome
It's quick fried corn tortillas dipped in refried beans, black in this case, and sprinkled with queso fresco. Super simple but if the beans are good it's grear. I've seen people put a sunny side up egg and/or salsa on them as well.
Next time I do my pinto beans this is it my friend. Thanks. I love simple peasant type dishes and I can taste this one already. Cheers!!
Edit: I'm thinking a few slices of avocado sprinkled with salt on the side. Oh boy I'm making beans this weekend.
Yeah sometimes simple done well is the best, I can get a lot of meals out of a good pot of beans.
Me too - love them! I eat low cal every other day, and usually it's beans and rice for dinner. I cook up 3 pounds of dried beans, varying the type - one time it's pintos, next time black beans, next time borlottis, etc. - and cook up 4 cups of short-grain brown rice, usually with a couple packets of Sazon in there - then portion all the stuff out and freeze it. I have meals for a couple weeks that way, for KOTC and me.
I also make a vat of salsa, either pico de gallo or a blended salsa, and I'll tell ya - no better eats than to put a little scoop of that flavored rice in a bowl, add a cup of the beans, heat, add a few tablespoons of that salsa and mix 'er all up. Haven't gotten tired of it yet!
Beans are versatile, cheap and delicious what's not to love? My refried beans are cooked in bacon fat so not healthy but they are tasty.
Man...I could KILL that plate right now!!!Grilled buffalo wings...
I made some Chili Colorado. Nice simple recipe, claimed by some to be the best recipe of all time. Hard to disagree. http://www.bonappetit.com/recipes/article/groat-ricks-chili-colorado
