What did I cook this weekend.....

[Andrew Hodgson]

One of my favorite breakfasts. Kielbasa split in half length wise seared on the griddle sandwitched between two scrambled eggs and American cheese,slathered in home made habanero hot sauce on a toasted bun.
Dee-freakin-licious

I like the way your mind works.

Doggy treats, beef tendon and chicken feet. Not pictured is the tripe jerky, but dog will have to share that with me . 1/2 tripe is neutral, other glazed with bbq sauce for me.

 

[S-Met]

Pickled mustard greens, egg roll salad, purple rice, corn/rice sausage.

So, there’s an amazing Mex-Tex restaurant in Dallas down in Deep Ellum called Pepe & Mito’s. Awesome ratings but out of all the amazing food venues down there this is one I had never been to. Then I saw it on Fieri’s Triple D show. I think they highlighted 3 different offerings in that program.

If you are familiar they take about 2.5 minutes with each dish they feature, you can kinda get what ingredients and the sequence of those, occasional a temperature, etc, but never proportions.

So I saw the episode and thought “Oh Cool, another Dallas Restaurant made it on DDD! So we went there to see if the hype was accurate.

We tried two of the things featured on the show. Caldo Albóndigas and Tacos Norteños. Yes, the hype was accurate. Just amazing. I’ll deal with Tacos Norteños later, but tonight I am trying to clone the Albóndigas soup based on about 1.5 minutes of video!! Lol

Soup part is spot on. Their method of albóndigas , or at least my mix is a fail. Tastes great, but won’t bind.

They always leave out a key ingredient on those.

Are you using about 1 egg and 1/4 cup of uncooked rice per pound of ground meat? You should be able to get by with 2 eggs for 3lbs. I would also suggest letting the meatballs rest for awhile before boiling them. You could try steaming also and after they firm up drop them into the stock.

with lemon over lingerie.

Damn you auto-correct, or was it that kind of party? Both are acceptable answers.

It took me a while to see my mistake. I was wondering what the hell you were talking about. I wish it would have been that type of party. Besides the lace gets caught in my teeth.

Good point. I figure I can figure it out though. They do not do a traditional Albondiga anyway. Their's come out more as little meat patties. Regardless I am happy with the flavors, given that I had to guess at all the proportions. A little tweaking and figuring out the meat balls (patties) and I will have it figured out

See above post. There is no rice in them. And they are not boiled. They are fried, and they flatten out while frying. Definitely not traditional!

Fired up the grill today. Potatoes started in the microwave and finished on the grill with duck and bacon fat. Not as browned as I wanted, but the strips were done.

 

[bob1852]

Those look awesome!

They're so delicious.

Cook 1lb ground pork + 1/4 cup vegetable broth with no other seasoning.

When it's cooked, toss with 1/2 cup julienned mint, 1/2 cup sliced red onion, 2-3 sliced green onion, 2 T. fish sauce, 2 T. lime juice, 1 T. khao kahu (thai rice powder), & red chile flake (to taste).

Mix with shredded carrot, shredded red cabbage, and cilantro, and add to lettuce cups.


I've made it with ground turkey before, but the flavor is soooo much better with ground pork...

Tomorrow's carnitas starts tonight!

 

[applescrap]

Hershey's syrup. And also first time using uber eats. Pretty cool. For a fairly low fee here in Denver just about anything can be delivered. Anyways I am sure almost all of you are familiar with this dish, but for those who aren't. Its chilli cheese fries. I was turned into them from my Mexican friends and you can find them everywhere here. Its French fries covered in green chilli, cheese, carnitas, guacamole, sour cream, and pico. I threw them on a plate with my wife's rice and beans and some chilli relleno, burrito, and chips.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Brunch today thin kielbasa and eggs... asked hubby if he wanted piwo with it, but he declined.
@applescrap looks messy, but sounds very tasty.

Sounds a bit like a Mexican version of Poutine.

Shame and regret again.

Burgers made with home ground boneless short rib mixed with a little brisket fat.

Cooked to slight pink in center. Couldn’t take money shot due to juicy hands.

Looks amazing. Even though I just ate that last pic still activated my salivary glands.

Dayum that's a shaggy burger. Definitely makes me drool! (though, I now make ultra-skinny ones on a griddle).

Me too. I've got a griddle plate for my weber kettle. Here's some tortillas I was heating on it. It gets VERY hot.

Do you prefer the burgers on the griddle instead of over the flame? Why?

A5 Wagyu done on a Konro grill. Floccin incredible.
Didn’t get any after pics, too good to waste time taking pictures [emoji1786]

I prefer the griddle over grilled because:
1. They don't catch fire. Juicy burgers catch fire very quickly, especially on a gas grill.
2. They hold together better on a griddle than on grill grates.
3. Both sides get brown crusty deliciousness.

I do it also, because I spent a long time trying to perfect the charred burger MW in the center. Easy on a hot griddle. (flames aren't a concern with coals and a lid).
