What did I cook this weekend.....

[Temptd2]

We just had the inaugural run of the Weber gas grill here in our new place. Beer brats, simmered in beer and onions first on the auxiliary burner, then put over onto the preheated grill for a 2 minute sear each side. They turned out awesome! Whole wheat buns, side of Caesar salad with homemade dressing, and the dogs dressed with our favorite - homemade mustard mixed with minced onion and dill pickle relish. Washed it all down with a brew, of course!

Looks terrific! That slaw...

 

[user 211287]

The slaw is easy. Its a oil and vinegar slaw mostly.

1 14 oz bag of Dole slaw mix or about 4-6 cups of sliced cabbage
3 Tbs Extra virgin olive oil
3 Tbs white balsamic or white wine vinegar
Juice from half a lime (1-2tbs)
2-3 Tsp Dijon mustard
3 Tsp granulated sugar
1/4 Tsp salt
1/4 Tsp black pepper
Pinch of mild pepper flakes...i used Korean
Sprinkle of ginger powder

Optional
Couple tbs of crushed pineapple/juice and/or chopped mango
Genetikx Carribean Red/pineapple hot sauce to taste
1-2 tbs of mayo
A little thinly sliced red cabbage
2 green onions (white part), chopped or a little thinly sliced red onion

Add salt and sugar to the slaw mix. Stir well and allow to weep for 15 minutes.
Whisk the rest of the ingredients together.
After the slaw mix has rested a few minutes in the salt/sugar add the dressing to your liking according to how wet you want it. Remember it will "juice" more in the fridge.

I used white balsamic and tbs fresh pineapple juice because i like the sweetness. No mayo this time because im using this one mainly to top some jerk chicken tacos and sriracha/habanero mayo will be on the side.

Long week. Was thinking of grilling fish but they had a sale on whole chicken so I tried pressure cooker chicken soup. Really simple. Soy sauce, onions, garlic, carrots, and celery. Thru some dried up mushrooms from the Chinese market. Throw whole chicken in pot and high pressure for 20 minutes. Throw some noodles in there as your shredding the chicken and add chicken when done.

If I'm ever coming down with a cold this is on the menu.

EDIT: I don't know why I never remember this and I time it about every other year but never go to your butcher on the day before Orthodox Easter. Insanity! You'll never see so many people speaking Greek and goats in different stages of being processed.

I'm back from spending a week with the in laws, I did some cooking while there- just a couple basic meals and some bread. Anyway I'm enjoying catching up on some great looking dishes. BIL roasted a 10# prime rib ( off the bone) to perfection for Easter. Five mins per pound at 500F then keep the oven door shut and the oven off for 2 hours. It was great! It did make the house smoky so if you do this method vent fan on high and a window open would be a good idea.

Browning Angus chuck roast for an Instant Pot Chili recipe. New recipe. Wish me luck! Lol

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

This is pork braised with pumpkin and tomato sauce (sounds weird, but works) over noodles. It is barely spring here, but surprisingly, those chives are from a plant that I grew in a container last summer that stayed out all winter.

 

[flars]

Simple supper last night. Cob corn, canned beans, and too small of hot dogs. Forgot about the left over chili from the night before. That would have filled up that bun. Froze 128 ears of corn from the garden last year. Might have nearly a hundred left.

Filled the crock pot day before for the chili and then moved on to brewing a Witbeir.

Made Coq Au Vin on Sunday for dinner. Turned out great, Sorry no pics from mine but I did follow Chef John's recipe verbatim. Highly recommend!

Alaskan Pollack baked and served Vera Cruz style.

It's baked Pollack on a bed of celery for baking purposes. 425F for 15 minutes.

On the side, in olive oil, sauteed onions, garlic, manzanilla olives, tomatoes and a little lemon juice. Sauteed for five minutes at the last minute added red pepper flakes and oregano.

Lined the bowl with spinach, laid on the Pollack and covered it with the spicy jammy tomato sautee.

I have a nitro cask ale to go with it...

Dinner snack. Shrimp burrito bowl. Kinda like chipotle but without the runs.

LOL!!

More baked onion bhajis. I added a touch of backing powder and think it helped

 

[applescrap]

I dont know what a bahji is, looks tasty. Reminds me of latkes. Not to much cooking here. Reheating smoked meats and eating pizza. Rocking the air fryer, nightly pretty much. Made taco meat and over seared the meat. Ground red mexican chilli. Literally just tossed in the meat frozen. The sear on that hamburger, i dont know how to do that without this. Cant wait to put a filet in it.

I got a new toy - Avalon immersion sous vide! So far, have done swordfish steaks, a tri-tip, and some hardcooked eggs. Fun!

For @afro_lou, you can send the wife down for some carne asada.

 

[Schlenkerla]

This isn't much cooking as it is chopping and slicing.

It a Greek Village Salad. No Fvcking Lettuce. LOL.

Tossed in a big-ass bowl.

Sliced Cucumber, sliced red onion, sliced green pepper, chopped Roma tomatos, whole pepperchini, sliced kalamata olives, cubed Greek Feta, and Argentinean Anchovies.

Topped with a homemade lemon-basil vinaigrette; Lemon juice, water and grape seed oil and dried basil.

Served with a nitro cask pale ale.

Lettuce sux.

 

[Schlenkerla]

Lettuce sux.

It has very little nutritional value and is mostly water.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Field greens are more nutritious, but it feels like eating weeds.

 

[user 211287]

Lettuce sux.

I totally agree, I eat very little lettuce anymore except for some romaine occasionally. There are many tasty greens and cabbage has way more nutritional value.

 

[paulthenurse]

I'd probably like lettuce if it were made of bacon. Alas...

 

[Staestc]

I like to get my lettuce via rabbits. Rabbits love lettuce and rabbits are tasty!

 

[Staestc]

Nothing fancy tonight. Just barbecuing some boneless thighs. Low and slow with lots of flips and painting with sauce. Just like my Daddy taught me, and the way my wife loves!

 

[applescrap]

I buy the big spring mix and the best dressing i can find and keep it in the fridge at work. I love chowing on a huge salad with cheese and blue cheese before, i eat a sandwich. Its kind of a weird ritual really. Also, tacos. I like the crunch when i hork tacos. More like a taco salad being fed to a ravenous dog.

I have cooked chicken that way and thought of this cool history, thanks.

Forgot to add this to the above post and had to make a new post to attach pictures. But the William Sonoma bakeware came in and it is way nicer than I even imagined. Ceramic coating and the weight of it are impressive. I can't wait to use it and I'm also really excited to finally have a jelly-roll pan with the wire screen for roasting and broiling and for cookie and cake decorating. When compared with others it seems really expensive but after the 25% coupon and free shipping it's $75 that comes down to $12 a pan or so. I'm also really glad to finally have two 9 in rounds. I think they will help my cinnamon rolls and cakes.

Korean style beef soup. Its normally made with LA style beef ribs (GalbiTang). I used chuck roast and added some other veggies too such as green beans, Yukon Golds and lima. This is the spicy version garnished with a sesame gochu chili oil. Homemade kimchi and store bought ponytail radish kimchi. Cant make that one because nobody around here sells the correct type of radish.
