charliebravo77 posted:My wife brought home some farm fresh rainbow carrots from work today so I decided to try something a little different. Well this is art. Crossposting from the smoking thread: Decided to inaugurate my smoker today, so popped down to the garden centre, picked up some coal and olive wood, and got to business. Ended up deciding on running a couple of whole chickens, simply because I've never used one of these things before, and they seem a little friendlier to higher temperature (with some extra stuff thrown in just to gauge cooking times, effect, etc - nothing fancy, just pork steaks, burgers, halloumi, etc). Simply salted, I wanted to see what olive smoke was like on it's own (and this was definitely a decision I do not regret - it's a very sweet, almost herbal flavour that it imparts to the meat, with some light medicinal notes that are really nice... having easy access to olive wood in the UK is probably gonna pay off pretty well.) About 2 and half hours at 300-ish; temperature isn't the most inaccurate, as, being second hand, the temperature gauge is really sticky and needs tapping to swing. (It's early on the list of things to replace.) Really fun tending the fire, watching how it's burning, making sure to adjust airflow if you start seeing white smoke and to control temperature, etc - it's certainly really hands on, and really enjoyable. This thing is gonna see a LOT of use. Might get some extra tools, a decent charcoal starter, etc, too. Wife's told me that A: I'm obsessed with the thing, and after tasting the food, B: I need to be running this more often.

you got it! it's not so much a recipe as it is just a vague list of steps i follow when making curry with anything, also i've never made my own curry paste cause patak's is delicious and i'm lazy gather ingredients: your favorite neutral oil 1 russet potato, cubed 1 large zucchini, cut in half length-wise then sliced 1 lb your favorite mushrooms, sliced 3 carrots, sliced 1 large onion, diced-ish 4-5 cloves of garlic, minced 1 Tbsp ginger, minced 1 can full-fat not-bargain-brand coconut milk, do not shake the can 1 can diced tomatoes, not drained your favorite curry paste - this one we used 1/2 jar patak's spicy tikka masala salt, pepper, chili powder if you feel like bringing the heat cilantro for garnish preheat oven to 400F. lay potatoes & carrots on baking sheet, salt + pepper + oil. bake for ~25 minutes while that cooks, in a dutch oven: heat some oil on medium. cook the mushrooms for 10 minutes or so, stirring frequently so those fuckers don't burn. don't salt them towards the beginning, salt & pepper near the end. remove from pan. heat more oil and fry the onion. after 5-7 minutes, add garlic, ginger, salt, pepper; cook for a minute or two until fragrant but not burned. remove from pan add some more oil, fry the zucchini until softened (another 5-7ish minutes). remove from pan. lower heat to medium-low. gently open the can of coconut milk, being careful to not shake it or violently disturb it. scoop out the top 1/2 can or so of mostly solid coconut cream from the top. if your can doesn't have this layer of cream, you bought the 99¢ or low-fat variety. weep in shame. add to the dutch oven, scraping up the fond as you can, and let that simmer while stirring constantly. cook this until it's roughly the texture of yogurt, it'll probably take 5-10 minutes depending on how hot the pan is add your curry paste, let that fry for a few minutes. this is where i add chili powder if i want something spicier then, add the rest of the can of coconut milk + the can of diced tomatoes. bring to a boil, raise the heat back up to medium or you'll get impatient because it smells so good you just want to eat it right then and there add the rest of your ingredients back into the pot, plus the potatoes & carrots that should be finished roasting by now. reduce heat once simmering, let it all meld for a few minutes. top w/ cilantro, serve w/ yogurt & naan kumba fucked around with this message at 21:37 on Jul 20, 2020 |

I eat this everyday. Just spiced pan fried rice and vegetables. I should start using lentils again. I use coconut oil, coconut milk, sour cream, yellow mustard, garam masala, ginger powder, spicy indian pickle, msg, garlic powder, tumeric, cayenne. So it's real flavorful.

After all the smoked pork, time to rapidly switch gears. Tofu “Egg Salad”. I just replace the eggs with tofu, and the mayo with avocado. Every other ingredient to an egg salad I leave the same except I add a little bit of olive oil. Really quick weeknight meal when I don’t feel like turning on the stove or firing up the grill. Goes good with a little hot sauce. Well enough stalling, here’s my vegan dinner.

I'm not too sure, honestly. I think it's because I didn't have any of the doubanjiang I normally use, so I figured Guilin chili sauce was close enough. I was hoping adding a some extra chili oil would make it more red. It still tasted pretty great though.

Had a frozen tuna steak to use up so I made a salade niçoise:   Tuna cooked sous vide from frozen at 105 for about an hour and a half and then quickly seared, turned out better than I thought it would. Boiled potatoes, blanched beans, boiled egg, cukes, corn on the cob boiled then finished on the grill, all served cold with parsley, dill, capers, spring onions, and the sauce is just olive oil + lemon juice + dijon with a small dollop of honey whisked in. I completely forgot to put on some of the pickled red onion I made earlier.

Near the beginning of quarantine I made a tofu po'boy on a whim because I felt nostalgic for the po'boys my mom used to make, and I've been tinkering with them off and on since then. Here's my favorite one yet-- tossed with spices, cornstarch, and some thick-ish hot sauce, dredged in half panko and half cornmeal, served with Hungarian wax peppers and the sad last dregs of the lettuce and cherry tomatoes we had. I also threw together a really quick vegan remoulade and after I took this picture I covered everything up by dumping on pickles and Shaquanda's Hot Pepper Sauce. I was really happy because I'd been doing these on crummy old hot dog buns but we happened to get some beautiful rolls from the CSA this week that made the whole thing come together so much better.

Had some in-laws come to the house over the weekend. I planned on just grilling, but my wife talked me into making an eggplant parm on a brutally hot day. She’s always raving to her family how good my eggplant is, so I really brought this on myself. Eggplant parm is pretty much my signature dish in the family. Came out delicious.     No photos of beautiful cross section pieces, but there will be more eggplant parms.

 Trying to make split pea soup but it is taking forever. The water took at least 4 hours to come to a boil and the peas are still hard. Of course I used lots of tumeric and stained my roommate's ladle green

Gotta say, since I bought my pressure cooker the only thing I use my crockpot for is keeping things warm at parties. It’s weird how they do opposite things but can produce similar results.  FAST AND HOT 4 LYFE
