That Works posted:Any kind of spiced ground meat with sauteed vegetables and some other items for texture (crispy noodles / toasted chopped nuts etc) in lettuce wraps is a decent quick go-to. d3rtus' kinda-sorta-like-laab/larb-but-not-authentic recipe 1.5 lbs fatty ground pork from your local Asian grocer 1 small yellow onion 2 stalks of fresh lemongrass 3 gloves garlic 10 - 15 red thai chilies 3 small limes Vietnamese fish sauce bunch of fresh Cilantro Salt MSG Some sweetener like brown sugar or whatever Dice the onion, mince the garlic, mince the lemongrass as small as you can get it, saute all this in a little peanut oil then throw in the ground pork and brown it HARD to the point the fat renders out and the pork begins to crackle and fry in its own fat Roughly chop the chilis. I love a ton of Thai red chilies but de-seed them because 10 - 15 would make it far too hot for me. Their taste is incredible and that's what I'm using them for, not heat. Season with salt and MSG. If you like a lot of fish sauce, take it easy on the seasoning to compensate. Juice the limes and mix with fish sauce and sweetener until you get a light brown color or whatever taste you like. Throw the chilies in with the pork, mix it in, then dump the lime/fish sauce in and mix that in too. Turn the heat off, mix a good handful of roughly chopped cilantro. I guess you could throw in some sliced green peppers or whatever other vegetable you like. Ground toasted rice is also good. Maybe switch the yellow onion for green onions. Ginger can be good in this too. Replace onion and garlic with onion powder and garlic powder if you're lazy. Serve however you like: with rice noodles, in lettuce cups, steamed jasmine rice, whatever. I also love mixing some of the leftovers in with 'good quality' Shin Ramyun ramen.

Cut them in half, clean out the choke, and par cook them. Either steam them, or boil them in salted water, your choice. About 20 minutes if you steam, 30 minutes if you boil, aim for slightly undercooked. Finish it off on the grill. Personally, I like my artichoke plain, just seasoned with salt, with some sriracha mayo as a dip. A light coating of olive oil before it hits the grill wouldn't go wrong.

It's traditional to dip artichoke leaves in butter. If you have compound butter on hand, even better, or you could be lazy and sprinkle in a little garlic powder. Re: onion powder, Penzey's makes toasted onion powder, and hnnnnng so good. Put that on a pork chop, and you get the taste of traditional pork and caramelized onions, but with a gorgeous crust.

Got another freezing question: got a great deal on some grass-fed ribeye steaks today but won't be able to/don't want to eat them all within the next few days. Same process as ground beef for freezing I'm guessing, but saran-wrap them before putting them into the freezer bags?

Red beans are also good and can be frozen and then later served on rice as is or with some grilled sausage etc. Thanks for the suggestion. I like the idea of a big batch of jambalaya. Do you have any experience with freezing it? I think it would be fine if i did not use shrimp and froze it for about a week.

So I got myself another pigs head and instead of making head cheese like I normally do, I am thinking I want to roast the entire head for dinner tomorrow night. My only issue is, I have never roasted one and I am looking for recommendations. I am thinking a overnight brine, a nice spice rub with a good cooking liquid and probably cook it for 3-4 hrs at 375 degrees. Anybody have any hints on how to cook this bad boy nicely?

I think it would be fine if i did not use shrimp and froze it for about a week. In my experience the rice would get mushy and overall the consistency will not be as good but it will still taste real good. I generally wouldn't advise it but it is do-able. If you need to make a bunch of something and freeze I'd go with gumbo or even etoufee instead. Then you could make up some plain white rice the day you want to serve, defrost and add.

I have a recipe for Texas chili that calls for 5 New Mexico chiles. Sadly, I live in Tennessee and I spent much of the day hitting up every Latin market in 2 counties, and not one of them had any fresh chiles that I couldn't get at my local Publix. So I have dried new mexicos, dried anchos, and dried guajillos. How can I substitute rehydrated dried chiles for fresh? I recognize that while the taste may be the same there will be textural differences, but I'm pretty much stuck.

To reinforce what That Works is saying, not only have I always made Texas chili using dried chiles, but I'm pretty sure that's what Kenji is calling for in his Texas chili recipe. Some chiles are just impossible to find fresh, so just make do with dried ones. What he does is cook them a bit then simmer them in stock before blending the whole thing.

If you add in tablespoon or so of vinegar into that water it will help them soften up a bit faster and the colors will come out a little more. This is what I do when I reconstitute them before blending to use in a wet rub on ribs / pork shoulders etc.

Is there a thread or a good website for elimination diet recipes? I'm trying to figure out what is wrecking me regularly and I don't want to just eat chicken and brown rice. I did some googling and its mostly just bullshit doctor oz poo poo talking about how everything is killing us but I know there's got to be something better than that out there.

Dr. Gitmo Moneyson posted:Re: Potato salad recipes You're really overthinking it. Potato salad is dead easy (and awesome).

You should make warm potato salad, a.k.a. Rakott Krumpli. With meat. But that potato salad recipe you posted just remove the nuts and poo poo. It's all good. Otherwise, make these Creamy Dill Potatos and add some eggs or whatever and it's fuckin' delicious cold. Drifter fucked around with this message at 08:40 on Jul 13, 2015 |

traditional Murican cold potato salad is 10x better with celery and a little celery salt. IMO, paprika and seasoning salt should always make it in there too. I have never been big on browning the potatoes though, maybe just because that's not the texture I expect in that. I also never use olive oil in that stuff. I would also second getting a good whole grain mustard because it beats the poo poo out of anything else.

I recently picked up a package of nice-looking, whole calamari (frozen). I've eaten calamari tons of times in restaurants, usually either fried or sauteed as an appetizer, but never cooked it at home. Any recipe suggestions? Bonus points if they're relatively quick to prep & cook, since it'll most likely be a weekday meal and I tend to get home from the gym pretty late.

I brought the ATK German potato salad recipe to work, and it persisted as a side to the sausage plate for like 6 years: 2 pounds medium red potatoes (1 to 2 inches in diameter), unpeeled, scrubbed, and halved if smaller or quartered if larger Table salt 8 ounces bacon (about 8 strips), cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces 1 medium onion , chopped fine (about 1 cup) 1/2 teaspoon sugar 1/2 cup white vinegar 1 tablespoon whole-grain German-style mustard 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves 1. Place potatoes, 1 tablespoon salt, and water to cover in large saucepan or Dutch oven, bring to boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium and simmer until potatoes are tender (thin-bladed paring knife can be slipped into and out of potatoes with little resistance), about 10 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup potato cooking water, then drain potatoes; return potatoes to pot and cover to keep warm. 2.While potatoes are cooking, fry bacon in large skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until brown and crisp, about 5 minutes. With slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towel-lined plate; pour off all but 1/4 cup bacon grease. Add onion to skillet and cook, stirring occasionally over medium heat until softened and beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Stir in sugar until dissolved, about 30 seconds. Add vinegar and reserved potato cooking water; bring to simmer and cook until mixture is reduced to about 1 cup, about 3 minutes. Off heat, whisk in mustard and pepper. Add potatoes, parsley, and bacon to skillet and toss to combine; adjust seasoning with salt. Transfer to serving bowl and serve. Serves 6 to 8 as a side dish. Published September 1, 2003.

Is bonemeal healthy? Do humans with a normal diet get any benefit from adding bone meal into their diets? Like, with bones after making stock or something.divx posted:I seared a chicken liver in my skillet yesterday. I liked the taste but it was dry and gritty. I assume I just overcooked it, but I just wanted to make sure. Yeah, that's over cooking. It really doesn't take much. You probably cooked it a lot longer than it needed. Chicken liver tends to be too wet and small to get a good sear in my opinion, unless you take a great deal of care (more than it's worth), so I like to quickly ghetto braise it in a pan with some spices and then use that remaining liquid as a base for a quick and easy sauce - either for the livers, or for other things down the line.
