Spot Prawn Experiment Night:



https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-v...otprawns-9.jpg
First Course: Simply boiled.
Lo family recipe for the vinaigrette. Raw shallots, raw garlic, lemon, japanese rice vinegar, mirin, soy and garlic chili paste and a touch of korean sesame oil.



https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-V...tprawns-14.jpg
Second Course: Agedashi Tofu
Just giving the peeps a chance to sort their stomachs out until it starts getting real.



https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-T...tprawns-11.jpg
Third Course: Sashimi. Shredded daikon and shiso from my garden.
Sometimes, simple is best.



https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-M...tprawns-20.jpg
Fourth Course: 椒鹽 Fried Heads
Traditional Chinese recipe with Szechuan peppercorns, jalapenos and garlic.
Toasted and ground the Szechuan peppercorns myself.
Can't let those heads go to waste.




Fifth Course: Spot Prawn Bisque (not pictured)
Just imagine a less red lobster bisque.
It tasted ok, but looks-wise, it's nothing special.
Just some soup to gulp down.

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Y...tprawns-22.jpg
Sixth Course: Spot Prawn Ceviche
Featuring random stuff from the garden.Chervil, golden lemon thyme, rosemary flowers, so micro fennel and cilantro and chive flowers.
Also used radish, Japanese nori paste, and some roasted garlic olive oil I made.



https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-l...512_000743.jpg
Seventh Course: Spot Prawn Tagliatelle
Scratch made the tagliatelle. Spot prawns cooked with garlic and marsanne. Tossed it all with fresh tomatoes and basil.





Hooray for derping around.
:toot:

Spectacular as always. I wrote down a good few thoughts for next weekend. I left it in my pants at work though. I'll send you some ideas tomorrow.

Culverin 05-16-2013 07:15 PM

a man needs to eat dinner...



https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-i...513_010635.jpg
Tagliatelle marinara with and blade steak (Pasta and marinara from scratch)
Nothing wrong with dried pasta, but making your own pasta sauce is sooooo much better than from a jar. I just used canned tomatoes, garlic, shallots basil and some olive oil.
Blade steak, cheap cut of meat that's got good marbling and tender as long as you're willing to trim off a bit of silver skin.
Pan-seared, salt and pepper and rested. Simple is good.





https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-n...515_163518.jpg
Mushroom ragout, a poached egg, 24 hour slow roasted cherry tomatoes on the vine over creamy polenta
Mushrooms were caramelized with with garlic, shallots and thyme. White wine and cream to finish. Some Shaved parmigiano-regiano.
Stole the concept from Working Class Foodies.

Or amazingly sterile :ifyouknow:




In all seriousness, my apologies.
Photo credits to Ed Eats.com ? You do too, but I blog about it?
You know things just got real when somebody brings their own lighting.
:fuckyea:

Ronin 05-16-2013 09:47 PM

No problem. I just wanted to use the word "virility".

The last one isn't one of mine. Saw that you credited me on FB for it.

Ronin 05-16-2013 09:50 PM

This is my favorite pic from Spot Prawn Night:

Saganaki
It's a Greek cheese. A fellow RS member taught me this little recipe.
Egged, dredged in flour, fried a little on both sides.
I hit with a bit of white wine (don't have ouzo or pernod handy) and lemon juice.
Dried oregano from Greece.



https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Q...o/DSC_8505.JPG
Kalamari
I seem to make this fairly often for my friends.
Somewhat labor intensive, but it's pretty cheap to make.
This was about $2.50 worth of squid.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-L...o/DSC_8500.JPG
And the Tzaziki to go with it...



I wanted to re-attempt a sandwich I made quite a while back.

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-3...o/DSC_8490.JPG
Got lazy, didn't want to wait to roast the skin, so I just deep fried it.

Duck crackling
Tomato
Iceberg lettuce
Bacon fat, roasted garlic and duck fat mayo (a very generous amount)
Some kinda meh-bread from Safeway (I hate their bakery), but toasted with bone marrow tallow. <--- Hooray for keeping random fats lying around the house.
Hoisin sauce.







https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-f...523_015105.jpg
Almost Vegetable Soup
Just using up whatever scraps I had in the fridge.
Cabbage, tomato, onion, shallots, celery, yukon gold potatoes, caramelized mushrooms, a jalapeno and good amount of ginger.
I thought it would need extra flavor depth and used chicken stock, but apparently, totally not needed.
Finished with some roasted garlic olive oil and parsley from the garden.

I'll see your kale chips and raise you Deep Fried Kale.
Since you remove more water, you can eat more kale.
Healthier option?
:troll:




https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-U...DSC_8639Ss.JPG

Slow roasted garlic tomato, warm potato salad.

Oh, and some bag slaw dressed with a simple vinaigrette, because lazy.

I made a couple different batches.
Working on different fillings. The crispness of romaine works surprisingly well.

Why didn't you post the pics from the squid and duck and pork sandwich night?

westopher 06-07-2013 12:18 AM

They are in a different thread.

Culverin 06-07-2013 02:19 AM

Maybe I should just ask to get them merged?
Can a mod do that?
