EAT THE EGGS RICOLA

The problem with herbs is that you end up with one spot where the herbs were resting that really taste like the herb (like too much like the herb) and the rest not herby at all. Similarly, I don't know that goose fat would add anything. Also, stay away from fresh garlic (it will taste metallicy) and pepper (it gets funky).

You just wrap the herbs in saran wrap and then cut off the top and bottom so that the fat can circulate in there to avoid herbspots.

Yeah, I've found putting a big blob of some fat in gets the flavour more spread out. I kinda like the fact that some mouthfulls are really herby and others less so, might try that trick though as others have complained in the past.

Pepin is the man. The recipe is for two ducks, but you can easily halve it. Don't worry about trying to find the breed of duck mentioned, because you won't. The site mentions some wine pairings. I personally like a very robust dry white or something like a Syrah with duck. The broiling step is important since duck skin (esp. on the breasts) is very fatty.

Tried this, and it was delish! thanks!

I have some filet mignon I'm going to be preparing for Christmas dinner this year, any tips for cooking them? I was planning on doing a pan sear and then popping them in the oven, but I've never worked with this cut before, and suggestions would be welcome.

^^^ I'll preface this by saying that recipe up there is better, but I cheat sometimes when I want to make a quick snack by:
- dicing up some leftover pork ribs or chops with some minced aromatic veggies like onions, scallions, garlic
- glopping on some Chinese barbecue sauce (I found a little jar marked "Char Siu" in my grocer's Asian section) and a little Sriracha on it
- stuffing it into flattened out refrigerator biscuits and sealing them up
- steaming them until they puff up and start to get dry feeling

Not as good but fast and, I think, they're delicious. Julienned celery, or some lettuce or cabbage leaves, placed under them in the steamer will keep them from sticking to it and ripping.

If you have a decent chinese grocery/deli with a bbq counter just buy some bbq pork from them, mix it with some extra sauce from the above recipe and continue from there. I make Kiteless' from scratch when I have the time but just as often take the shortcut.

I've come into possession of a boneless pork loin. No seasoning on it. I don't have a grill.

What can I do with it? The only fresh herb I have is parsley, but I have a pretty nicely stocked spice/dried herb cabinet, lemon, garlic, etc. I'm looking for something more buttery/herby than Asian. Thanks!

Pulled pork! Douse (dowse?) in Worchestershire sauce, rub in brown sugar, throw in a crock pot with some onion/garlic, and set it on low for ~8 hours.

I'm not really a fan of loins for pulled pork personally.

My suggestion would be to do a greek rub and maybe stuff it with feta and herbs, but I've had a huge craving for good souvlaki this week so that might be colouring my suggestions.

Yeah, don't pull a loin.

I like to rub em down with some cumin, salt, pepper and cayenne, sear off then oven roast to 140. Slice thin and eat with some rice and beans.

I got this Yancey's Fancy Wasabi Cheddar from a bistro in town. It looks good, but I can't find any recipes for it. I've tried Google, Epicurious, and Allrecipes but all I could come up with was a salmon recipe (I'm not crazy about seafood, including fish) and a few burger recipes (I've been eating a lot of burgers lately and I need to diversify). Do you guys have any ideas? I like spicy stuff—as is evidenced by the fact that I bought this cheese in the first place—and the only things I'm averse to are pork, mushrooms, and seafood.

Steak and egg burrito would be the first thing I tried. Any sort of sandwich should do it, but I'm not sure what sort of recipe would outright call for wasabi cheddar.

Just make it separately in a pan, you don't gain anything from doing itin the middle of your crown toast.

Yes. The stuffing will dry out and burn and you wouldn't have enough juice run-off to make it worthwhile anyway. Crown roast is loving awesome and impressive, although it tends to be refuckulously expensive- be prepared for that. If you don't have the sort of digital probe temp that you can leave in the oven, invest in one- you'll thank me later.

They closed down the 'is this safe to eat thread' I had marked, so I'll ask here.

Raw ground beef that had a sell by date of (I think) 12/15. I split it off a larger amount and put into a zip lock around 6 days ago. It's fairly brownish but it doesn't smell all that bad. Am I looking at food poisoning if I cook it now? I'd rather not if the risk is high since I need to go on a 6 hour drive here in a day or so.

e: going to start cooking now, but I'll check back before eating it.

I'm making a stew from lamb neck chops, onion, carrot, celery and watercress. Would red wine and/or mint go well with this?


Edit:
Thank you Mr. Wiggles

I'll use the wine, and I just so happen to have parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme in the garden as well.

If it smells off at all dont eat it. Nothing worse than food poisoning trust me.

When meat is bad, it's noticeable. It's probably past its prime, but I doubt you'll get sick.

Edit: Wait, I misread. What's "all that bad"?

It smelled a little off at first but not openly bad. After I started cooking I became less sure of myself and tossed it, though. Decided to eat something else to keep on the safe side.

Anyone know any diabetic/renal friendly resources? My grandfather just got his quarterly numbers back and is down to 19% renal function. We used to have the blessing of the doctor to "cheat" just a little (he could have brussles sprouts with dinner, but could not finish off the left overs the next day, if we had french fries he was allowed a small handful, etc), but we can no longer do this.

He already suffers the fun of if it tastes good he can't eat, but I would like to expand on tasty things I can pre-make and put in the freezer for him. Low sugar/carb AND low potassium leaves so few food options. :( Don't ever get sick.

Piracy is our only option.
My sympathies, the renal diet is terrible. http://www.davita.com/recipes has a lot of recipes. Cooking for David is also a cookbook that I've heard mentioned. You also might want to go in for a consultation with a registered dietitian (not a nutritionist) to have them walk you through some ideas. If you can find an RD that specializes in geriatrics, so much the better.

Give yourself a lot of time, folding ravioli by hand takes loving forever.
Don't overdo it on the filling or you will pop them.
Roll the pasta as thin as you can-- every bite is two layers. Keep in mind how thin you roll when deciding how much filling to use as well.

I tend to just do ricotta, parmesan, and spinach. Last week I had grilled chicken, mushroom, and mozzarella. Then again, I rarely make the stuff because I just end up making angel hair and throwing some olive oil on it rather than but the effort into making ravioli. Def a "I want to impress someone" meal.
