What did I cook this weekend.....

[Hoppy2bmerry]

That looks great... I've been craving fish lately. I was gonna pick up some tuna steaks at the store yesterday because they were on sale, until I got a look at them and realized why they were on sale lol

Thanks, I know what you mean about changing your mind! Believe it or not, these came from the freezer at Aldis. 12 oz for $5. I was really pleasantly surprised at how good they were. Of course, my thawing and cooking them properly helped

So, I forgot to take the extra wide egg noodles to my daughter's house and all she had was rotini or spaghetti...and no peas, or I would have used them! The crushed Fritos on top with the cheddar cheese was a good move though. And the Grandbaby loved it...so, win!

We'll forgive you this time, but only because of the fritos and cheese and the kids approval. Saved by the baby.

Hrmph.... Maybe. In order to confirm the ruling, send a sample for judgement.

Hi, I did it again

Nope. Not at all. You cooked it, probably a while back. But you cooked it!

Not sure what I posted last time I did this. My daughter brought over Poblano Chicken soup the other night to go with the fish tacos I was cooking. Wife loved it so I made it a couple of nights later. I am making it yet again! I've got roasting and peeling chilies down now! Secret is cooking them at a really high temp so skin blisters and chars without cooking the chili!

So you clean and peel those Poblanos, then sauté onions, the put the diced chilies, cumin, and garlic in for a bit, then add chicken stock and bring to a boil. Throw in diced chicken and simmer till it's cooked through.

Then you whisk in cream cheese and cheddar cheese.

Oh yeah, forgot the final picture!! I put it in the bowls I use for French onion soup, added more cheddar on top, then broiled them to melt and brown the cheese!

I like this already

 

[beergolf]

mmmm love Thai bird chilis. I grow them every year and anything left at the end of the year gets dried..

 

[Staestc]

Never tried to grow them before. Probably cause I have not seen plants for sale. Do you start them from seed?

My chilis are just starting to turn red. Pretty excited. I picked a red one last week and it was a tasty scorcher. I grew my from seeds ( planted in fall).

No, A garden center near me always has plants in the spring. Been growing them for years. Love them. Green they are good for some dishes, but let them turn red and they are very hot, but have a nice flavor. Search them out if you can.

Never got back to the computer last night. Thai Bird Chilies went in to Beef Rendang, which I am sure I have posted before. Well, it's actually a Brits take on Beef Rendang, but it's great. Now it's in the fridge for tonight. Working on peri peri sauce that I will marinade chicken in for grilling tomorrow!

I have some slow cooker pork al pastor going at the moment. Will serve on corn tortillas with pickled red onions and crumbed goat cheese (cant find queso fresco anywhere!) and have made some fresh pico de gallo, a mango habenaro salsa, and a roasted tomato-jalapeno salsa as well to top. Serving a side of chorizo-stuffed jalapenos. I'll be sure to post the end result.

Making my Chinese Sausage Baked Buns for the second time. So far, so good. Dough is made and rising. Filling is made and in fridge. I will fill the buns and let rise again, egg wash, then bake and glaze. Have to run a kid out to a skate place at 7pm and grab some takeout from an Asian market...may have to bake when I get back.

I made tuna steak in a szechaun style sauce with fried rice and sautéed zucchini. I accidentally overcooked the tuna slightly, but it still tastes great.

I will definitely try and find them this year. We have a couple of larger scale nurseries not to far from here.

Pork loin marinated in soy, ginger, sambal oelek, garlic, zest and juice of 1 orange and scallion. This is the best pork I've ever made in the oven my wife and daughter were fortunate that I even shared it with them.

 

[BrewingTravisty]

Yum!!

It was really good, next time though I'll cook it a little less. I forgot how quick tuna cooks, it was just a bit drier than I like. Other than that this has been the most satisfying meal I've had in a long time lol. Especially since the whole thing cost less than $2.
