What did I cook this weekend.....

[JDWebb]

Season the short ribs with salt & pepper, brown on all sides in a hot dutch oven. Remove, then add 1 1/2 diced onion and caramelize, add 4 cloves of chopped garlic for 2 minutes only, add a touch more oil, flour until there's no more oil left, then add 3 cups of stout. Add the ribs back in along with 4 or 5 sprigs of thyme, 2 sprigs of rosemary, and reduce by half. Add 2 cups of beef broth, bring to a boil,. cover, and put in a 350º oven for 3 hours or until the ribs are tender.

That is pretty much the way i feel about it too. I prefer the way the fat runs off and lots of crispy skin. I add ginger ale to mine. Plug the neck hole with an onion.

And yes, the right kind of bone in turkey breast works well too.

This is some great looking fowl!

Seriously though, try ginger ale. Its also excellent for deglazing a stirfry pan and adding a hint of sweetness IF you like ginger.

Also when i get done with a bird on the smoker, i put it in a big foil pan and cover it with a few towels. Leave it for around an hour before cutting. Always turns out moist that way. If it steams when cut it was too hot and will end up drier.

Citrus pepper salmon small knob of butter in the pan on low heat kept it moist and flakey.

Thanks. I just sprayed my computer with coffee.

now I have to get a new keyboard! I did the same when I read the post about a barrel of lye.

Fighting off a cold so went with some chicken noodle soup and a loaf of bread. Entirely too hot outside to have a pot on the stove and the oven on but worth it.

Looks great! Shot of whiskey and you'll be back to normal in no time.

I took the afternoon off and made the trek out to may favorite farm shop to pick up a bunch of these beauties - heritage pork chops. Almost as red as steak and richly marbled, all for a mere $4.49/lb. which makes me all warm inside because shops in town sell similar quality stuff for $16/lb or more. All I have to do is drive maybe 45 minutes out of my way.

And they raise beef cattle, so I got a small brisket too. Also $4.49/lb.

I cant stop thinking about that 4 burner blackstone outdoor griddle. Is that wrong? Anyone own one

 

[user 211287]

Hong Shao Rou (red cooked pork belly) over rice and a scallion pancake. Semi spicy dipping sauce on the side.

 

[JonM]

And after. Grilled with some apple wood for smoke and served with nice grilled asparagus and funky multi-color carrots. These chops are the real deal - better than a steak IMHO.

 

[applescrap]

That is awesome Jon. Those chops do look super amazing. There has to be somewhere out here like that i hope. Thanks for the tip.

 

[Staestc]

Enchilada sauce!

 

[Staestc]

Enchiladas are prepped!

Starting on black beans. Anything that starts with rendering the fat out of spicy sausage has got to be good!! Lol

Wow those look glorious. I’d happily grill a pair of those to medium rare.

 

[Staestc]

Mexican rice about to finish in the stove.

 

[applescrap]

Man i love red chilli and that looks amazing. I like to snack it with beans, rice and cheese in the microwave. I guess I shouldn't be admitting that. That looks so good staestc

Home made White Castle burgers.

Rehydrated onions and their liquid goes on the flat top.

Semi frozen burgers go on top. One pound of hamburger split in four and pressed flat. The holes (end of a chopstick pressed through and wiggled) let the steam go through.

I cheated and added cheese.

Bottom rolls go on next, then the top rolls.

Flipped over, with the onions on top. I added mustard and slice gherkin pickles( all I had in the fridge)

Ummmmmmm. And we didn’t have to drive to NJ, which in and of itself is a huge win.

 

[user 211287]

Did you use reconstituted dried onions? Thats the secret you know.

Yup. Who would believe it?

 

[treacheroustexan]

Grilled chicken fajitas. Marinated chicken thighs in a lime marinade, grilled, and put veggies on my stainless steel basket over charcoal while the chicken cooked.

 

[treacheroustexan]

Sorry for double post.but wouldn't let me add to original. Forgot to attach veggie pics.

Threw together an egg and cheese waffle sandwich for breakfast smothered with blueberry hot sauce.

 

[applescrap]

Cake, just chocolate glaze on top and raspberry preserves in middle. Didnt want to add to many more calories to it.

 

[user 211287]

Ox tail curry with a yellow scotch bonnet floater.

It dont get much betta dan dis mon. Fresh laksa leaves picked minutes before using them for garnish. They taste a lot like cilantro.
