What did I cook this weekend.....

[BrewingTravisty]

This may easily be the best thing I've ever cooked. Especially for just winging it and never having had made fish tacos before or Mahi Mahi. The slaw is cilantro, lime juice, a bit of sriracha and ancho chille mixed with crema Mexicana, cooked the Mahi mahi with ancho, lime, and garlic and of course topped with avocado, sriracha and a squeeze of lime juice.

It seems like everyone is sick lately. I had a little 48 hour bug the other day, couldn't eat much of anything and kept me out of the gym for couple days. Hope you feel better soon and get to eat some real food again lol

Moose meat mixed into rice with seasoning, sweet corn and some habanero hot sauce

Good for you not wasting the soured milk, I guess you'll have a little extra tang in that cottage cheese. I'm not a fan of cottage cheese. Take it or leave it, I always leave it.

Gotta be in the mood for cottage cheese; but in Summer, over sliced, ripe tomatoes with salt and freshly ground pepper...awesome.

Not cooked it yet, but just got done rashering ( is that a word? Making rashers?) And vac-packing my latest batch of dry cured bacon. Normally, I'd use a belly but thought I'd try a small loin for a change. View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1457170685.814078.jpg

For last night's dinner, basil pesto-crusted salmon with a wedge of Meyer lemon. Mixed fresh veggies consisting of small diced potatoes, sweet onion petals, sliced small sweet peppers, minced garlic, sliced carrots & mushrooms in a butter sauce with a lil salt & fresh cracked black pepper. I only had 5 potatoes left, so this is what I came up with. Had a nice natural sweetness to them. The browned bit of crust on the salmon, with the pesto & Meyer lemon was spot on!

I love Mahi Mahi for fish tacos! Hard to get it fresh around here, but the flash frozen filets from Costco are great!

Fish tacos are something I've wanted to try. We found this little amerimex sort of restaurant on the hill in old SoPass one night that used the original Mexican fish for them. The owner refused to make them for us, siting that we probably wouldn't like them? WTF? I forget the name of the fish...but I need to try these! Maybe next Friday, seeing as how it's Lent?

It turned out amazing, Mahi Mahi is my new favorite fish i think lol it was perfect with that lime and ancho. I wish I had picked up more now lol I could have these tacos every night. The slaw worked perfect with it too. Hands down the best thing I've ever cooked haha

How's an owner gonna refuse to serve you something? Lol just cause you're not Mexican doesn't mean you won't like something. Hell I'm not Ecuadorian but I enjoyed guinea pig the one time I had it xD you definitely need to try fish tacos though. They're super easy to make.

That looks delicious. I've been on a big fish kick lately, I might pick up salmon next paycheck.

He just flat out insisted we wouldn't like them, being the " original style"? Just because we aren't " from" Cali doesn't mean we're without taste?...I need to try them just the same!

It's easy & quick to make & the flavors are great! Skin the fillet, then cut into 6-8oz strips. I used one of those new titanium/ceramic pans. got it hot, then added about 3TBSP oil & 3 tsp real butter. Cook strips rib side down for a minute or two, until browned with salt & fresh cracked black pepper. flip & season, then spread 1tsp basil pesto on each. cover & let cook 3-4 minutes. I loved how the sweeter Meyer lemon melded perfectly with the browned, pesto-crusted salmon. I gotta make this more often, now that Giant Eagle started carrying Meyer lemons. This was my first time getting to try the lemons.

Thanks. Made a breakfast barm with some of it right after. Black pudding, bacon, chipolata sausage and a big fried egg with brown sauce . View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1457206924.876569.jpg

But that was hours ago. Chettinad chicken in progress. Pics to follow.

Baby backs slow roasted on the grill with home made bourbon sauce. Some of the ribs were so meaty they were like chops.

Those look amazing! I'm roasting a turducken tomorrow for my dad's birthday...if I'm not too drunk by dinner I'll add a picture

Sichuan spicy noodles (cooked after a 10.5 km / 6.5 mile run).

Key ingredient is the sichuan pepper, which provides unique spicyness to the dish.

Wow. Those look great.

Oven had conked out a while ago, finally got a new one in. Had to get some help from the next-door neighbour wiring it up, so I broke the oven in by baking him up some cookies (still owe him a 12-pack of Miller Ugh).

Did he do something wrong?

Good to see you're back with a working oven. That toaster oven must have been doing your head in.

Looks Indian? What dishes are these? Looks a variation of something I've done at one time or other?

It's chettinad chicken- a dish from Tamil Nadu in south eastern India, served with tarka dhal, paratha and pilau rice.

No idea if you've cooked something similar I'm afraid- only you can know that! This is a recipe from a British food and travel writer called Rick Stein.

 

[Elkobrewer]

Last nights dinner. Turned out awesome.

I'm thinking that, since the dietician put me on this diabetic maintenance diet, I'd make something like your dishes? Some parts of them are different, but I've experimented with a lot of weird combos in my time. Yours look compelling at this point. I'm also going to change the veggie side dish for the pesto crusted salmon, adding my take on bauernfruhstuck (German " farmer's breakfast") as the side dish. Might use more of the carbs in the dish to break down the total amount of proteins. Bauernfruhstuck uses eggs scrambled with the sauted veggies. Here's a more original recipe for it, but I'm going to add some other things I can get...http://www.kitchenproject.com/german/recipes/Breakfast/Bauernfrustuck/index.htm
