I'm making a whole salmon tonight with a tomatillo/strawberry salsa. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good spice pairing that would go well with that flavor profile? I was thinking just a simple lemon/soy/brown sugar reduction but I've seen smoked paprika and cumin bandied about (which sounds kind of odd). I'm used to doing salmon with lemon, ginger, and green onion but I also don't think that would go well with tomatillo/strawberry. Thoughts?

Do they taste alright pureed? There's still a few things you could try to avoid the texture of the whole fruit. You could try to make some fruit leather, a brief google search suggests that you don't necessarily need to add sugar to the fruit, so it would be more diet friendly than jams/jellies. Essentially you just puree the fruit to roughly applesauce consistency, spread it thin on a pan and dry it out in an oven/dehydrator.

Actually they kind of make smoothies that taste like cardboard. I do have a dehydrator so that sounds like an excellent idea.

Thanks Casu. Have lime but no chili... might do something strange with various chili oils and sauces I have. It's my first time using tomatillo and cooking with fruit in something non-dessert so my usual sense of what would go well together is completely at a loss. Trying to expand my horizons. :ohdear:

I just picked up 10 lbs of chicken leg quarter since they were super cheap (under 6 bucks for the lot of them), but I don't really know anything to do with them besides fry and roast. There's nothing wrong with either method, but I'm so broke I can't even pay attention and something to change things up after 4 straight days of roasted chicken would be handy.

If it's on your stove or counter, use bar keeper's friend. if it's one other things, get a magic sponge thing. Lava soap for your hands. Or some coarse grit sandpaper will take care of it all

My wife has recently become obsessed with Cream Top yogurt, but I'm having a hard time finding a store that sells it regularly. I know you can make yogurt at home but I have no idea how to go about it or if those electronic yogurt makers are any good or if any of them will result in the 'cream top' she is so obsessed with. Can anybody help me out on this?

I just made some brown rice and used too much water. After an hour and a half on the stove the water finally got done cooking off (there's still a little on the bottom). However, the grains are still crunchy. The gently caress did I screw up that I have crunchy rice after an hour and a half? Should I throw more water in and put it back on the fire?

I like to do a chilled pea and mint soup: sweat a couple shallots, blanch peas in veg stock, then puree with the stock and some mint leaves, salt, white pepper, pass through a fine strainer and cool quickly (ice bath, casserole dish in fridge etc). If it stays warm too long or if you overcook your peas it turns a gross color but it can be a beautiful vibrant green. finish with lime zest or creme fraiche. Sometimes I like to serve it with a pinch of crab salad or just crab meat on top (still cold). Light, summery, refreshing.

Golden Gazpacho:
Yellow bell pepper, pineapple, yellow/orange tommatoes, cucumber(peeled),and a red onion all get blended with some olive oil and vinager. (I also like to add a hot pepper here too, but thats your call) Add sugar or vinager to taste. Garnish with dies not yellow veggies (red/green peppers, avacado, cucumbers, green onions, etc).

You can wing most of this depending on what veggeies/fruit you have at the moment. Mango can work as a good sub for the pineapple. I like to serve this with grilled flatbread with goat chees and pesto. To make it more of a meal you can add some lemon poached shirmp.

Leg quarters are perfect for chicken adobo. There are all kinds of sauce recipes, a basic one is equal parts soy sauce and vinegar, a couple bay leaves, peppercorns, and some chopped garlic.

You could also make soup. Roast a bunch of them, strip the meat and use the bones for stock, go from there.

So does winter squash not keep as well in the fridge? That's what the internet says, but I just pulled one out (a yellow acorn squash) I have had in the fridge for like a month and it seemed fine (hard shell, no bad smell, no blemishes other than one spot that was just a nick during handling probably). Should I avoid refrigerating them in the future? I think I'm going to bake them then stuff them with some corn and tomatoes, since I need to use those up. Then roast the seeds, of course.

It has a short shelf life, I wouldn't serve it past two days. Make it fresh if possible. Worse come to works you can prep your veggies a head of time, all you would realy need to do is blend it.

How about pâté? Simmer a couple minutes with some aromatics and herbs until the livers are starting to brown but are still pink on the inside, purée with some fat (e.g. butter), some cognac, and salt and pepper, shape (e.g. in ramekins) and refrigerate.

Be sure to soak the livers in milk beforehand to remove the magnetic flavour.

I looked a while ago and didn't see a general liquor thread. I was at the store earlier today and grabbed a shooter of brandy on a whim. I tried brandy once, and liked it a lot due to how smooth it was. This is E&J XO brandy, and it tastes like rum. I like rum, but it's really not what I was expecting. Is this lovely brandy, or is there a particular type I need to be looking for for smoothness, or what?

Yeah, this. The recipe I use (from the 'Wichcraft cookbook, of all places) has you caramelizing some shallots in butter before sauteing the livers, and it comes out beautifully.

I can only get basic sweet cherries at about $2 a pound, along with rainier cherries at about $5 a pound. I know sour cherries are the normal thing for pies, will sweet cherries work? Would rainiers work for pie too?

The best cherry pies in my opinion are made with a deliberate ratio of sweet and sour cherries. I like 2 sweet to 1 sour and a little lemon juice. Experiment!

Also, try dark rum in place of the water (1:1) in your dough for the raddest flaky crust you've ever had. Any strong alcohol will do, but the flavor of a strong dark rum complements cherries well.

It really depends. Some people use an egg to make the sauce more creamy, others use just use a basic béchamel cheese sauce. Both are delicious and it really only matters for personal taste. It will be fine and tasty as long as you don't scramble the egg in the sauce, you need to stir it in a little bit at a time so the egg wont cook and gently caress up the sauce.

Also for a topping I've had great luck with a lobster style ritz and butter crust. Just add a good amount of crushed ritz and parsley to melted butter, you can also add some of your cheese mixture to that and make an awesome crust for your mac.

Recipe from Allrecipes

I cut the bacon into strips and left it in whilst everything else cooked, and omitted the olives, but other than that pretty much followed this. For the potato, just boiled them with a lot of rosemary, then shoved even more rosemary + some butter, salt and milk in when I mashed. It was pretty good, especially for my first try cooking with liver :3:

e: If you make it, make sure to put some of the juice from the bottom of the liver/bacon pan over your mashed potatoes!
