were you looking in the aisles?
you usually find them in the fish section in the supermarket.

FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK! That's where I went wrong! Yes. I was looking in the aisles.

I love making Caesar salad from scratch but I always miss out on the anchovies.

bcrdukes, I'm serious.
I've got extra cans lying around. I don't mind sharing as long as you promise to put them to good use.

What I listed was really all I put.
Chinese BBQ sauce (satay), green onions, flat leaf parsley.
Nothing else, doesn't need oil or even salt because the satay bbq sauce has plenty of both.
This is the brand I use.

Tonights dinner... Was to eat the leftovers from that cedar plank Salmon dinner. Had to figure out what to do with salmon and mushrooms.

Mushroom Risotto and Salmon

Caramelized white and crimini mushroom slices. Reserved.
Soften onions, toast rice. White wine. Then start ladling in some home made chicken stock (which will be turned into more chicken noodle soup for my sick friends).
Blanched the rape seed plant (yu choy sum). Pan seared the salmon.

Thanks for the compliments.
But that tonkotsu risotto just looked good.
It was way too rich, and the taste just doesn't work well together.
Now you know what not to do. hahahaha


It'd be nice when you guys post up your food porn to share how it was done too. I'm always super curious.

Pumpkin Creme Brulee!

Had quite a bit of extra time to play around with plating, so that's why it looks a little too ornate.

But it was actually super easy to make, just make a custard with a pumpkin puree and pie spices (nutmeg.cinnamon). and just make it in the pumpkin instead of a ramekin.

really nice dessert to have during thanksgiving season.

Alar 10-12-2011 12:09 AM

^that looks awesome! I wish I could make desserts...

Culverin 10-12-2011 06:55 AM

Duck confit and risotto isn't going to get you girls.

Dessert will.

Lamb Chop with mint chutney I made on V-day.

Culverin 10-30-2011 01:08 AM

Sorry, no pictures of the actual food. Was too busy cooking and eating.
But if you ever want pub-style wings with home made sauces from scratch... maybe I can throw you on a waiting list. :fullofwin:

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-e...2022.38.12.jpg
Our ghetto prep table. Seasoned flour for the wings. Beer for the beer battered zuchinni, bbq sauce, home made honey mustard sauce, home made honey garlic sauce, home made caesar salad.





https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-v...2022.38.51.jpg
Using a turkey deepfryer to do our wings, tater tots, gyoza, beer battered zucchini.



https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-L...2/DSC_6624.JPG
Fried 2 eggs, over easy. Topped with some home made caesar dressing. Garlic oil toast. Home made kimchi.


https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-U...2002.48.58.jpg
My dinner last night:
Ribeye steak, mashed potatoes with milk and butter, finished with a drizzle of roasted garlic oil and chives. Blanched zuchinni on the side.

This dinner was ridiculously easy to make. My fridge just died. I needed to use up the stuff in my freezer, so I defrosted the steak.
The mashed potatoes were leftover from a shepherd's pie I made for a potluck, the roasted garlic olive oil was from roasting garlic for my garlic butter. The zucchini was left over from my fry night. Dinner is EASY when you are just scraping together leftovers.

I think foods come out the best when you have a sense of inspiration for it... dammit im drooling over some of the foods here.

Hey OTG,

how was the flavor of your risotto? I was just curious how the saffron flavor came across, because the rice was still pretty white. When did you add the saffron in, because most of the time saffron permeates into liquids almost right away.

unit 12-05-2011 01:29 PM

^could just be the camera/lighting. most of us just take pics with our camera phones.

this weekend i made something i've had my mind on for a long time..

sous vide sriracha buttermilk fried chicken!

2 cups buttermilk, a good squirt of sriracha, a few good pinches of salt into a bag with two 3lb cut up chickens... let marinade for at least 2-3 hours.
http://i.imgur.com/8PDao.jpg

drain well and warm up a 160 degree water bath
http://i.imgur.com/Y3rab.jpg

cook for at least 90m, i was busy and went out so mine cooked for 3h which was a little long. 2h would be perfect for this amount of chicken.
http://i.imgur.com/Mnz53.jpg

1.5 cups AP flour, 1T garlic powder, 1T onion powder, 2t salt, 2t cayenne, 1t smoked paprika. mix well
http://i.imgur.com/eqbXx.jpg

dredging station set up. buttermilk and flour mixture. first drain the chicken from out of the bag, then into the flour, buttermilk, then back into the flour.
http://i.imgur.com/jA1dj.jpg

fry at 375 for about 2 minutes per piece or until the batter browns. dont overcrowd. i usually put about 3 pieces at a time. the beauty of SV chicken is that its already cooked and warmed so it doesnt drop the oil temp as fast as raw.
http://i.imgur.com/mFDN2.jpg

sprinkle with a little sea salt or fleur de sel
http://i.imgur.com/Zdu1H.jpg

i was eating alone tonight (no i didnt eat it all). i like my fried chicken with a beer and some kewpie mayo. i broiled the leftovers the next day and ate it for lunch and dinner. overall it was a little more work than regular fried chicken but it was just really easy to do because you didnt have to worry about oil temperature too much and whether or not the chicken was cooked when the skin browned. foolproof.

The flavour was pretty good. I agree the saffron didn't colour the dish the way I had hoped. I added it right to the broth and let it infuse while it was warming. The extra bits I added for garnish left a slight stain behind. I'll add more next time and see if enrichens the colour.

donjalapeno 12-05-2011 05:36 PM

^ i usually grind my saffron for a bit and then add tiny amount of hot water and keep grinding and then let it sit for a minute with something over the top of the grinding bowl( dunno the proper term) and then pour the mixture right in the rissoto or whatever your making. It makes the saffron flavour 1000x more powerful and this way no saffron will be wasted. ( trust me im persian and we know our way around saffron) ;)
