its roast pork tenderloin with carrot romesco, i found the recipe online its really good. I didnt use the pine nuts in the romesco like i was supposed to because I was like $6 for these lil fucks lol get up outta here man, and then I used arugula instead of mustard greens cause thats what they had at the market. its really good! (:

I dunno if this thread is ironic or what but that does look pretty good

Why would it be ironic? I've been working really hard on learning to cook well and a wider range, its a ton of fun and I like to share what I made with other people who like to cook (:

whoa man! First time I've gotten to post in like 2 1/2 days cause I got in trouble real bad so here is a DOUBLE POST!!!!!

this was picadillo cubano, very very good and easy to make, the left overs taste great too!

this is porkchop with this Vietnamese marinade/glaze and ginger/lime/chili asperagus and onions. It was also good but I'd cut waaaay back on the fish sauce next time, the marinade/glaze called for a 1/4 cup of it and that is a lotttttt it was kinda overpowering, but not bad.

the asparagus was fuggin killer though, I've started keeping a thing of ginger in my freeze and just pull it out and grate it with a cheese grater so nice fresh ginger all the time!

so ive been on probation a whole bunch because of bad posting/fyad not liking me I guess so I have more dinners I made to post!

here is some beef chuck that I made with carrots and onion and celery sooooo good, slow cooked it in the oven for like 5 hours i think cause I dont have a smoker (wouldnt fit on my balcony even if I did!!)

and hten last night

I made lemon ginger tilapia with garlic/chili/ginger asparagus! I got a big thing of fresh ginger so i went kinda apeshit with it and put a ton in both things but I love ginger so whateva it was a great dinner

then tonight:

I grilled some steak with some artichoke and a piece of sourdough that I dunked in the olive oil/garlic/lemon juice i was justing to marinade the artichoke. It looks like a lot of food and it was -- in the words of Homer Simpson "I can't believe I ate the whole thing"

Okay so thats the last couple of things I've cooked. Cooking is fun I like trying new things, I'm going to try THIS next I think:

good job nooner

next time you put carrots in your crockpot though, leave them in big chunks. Like, have to cut them to get them in your mouth big. Then it won't look like barf on a plate! (and it will be less likely to be baby food mush)

Okay so the recipe said to dice them with the onion and celery and then put them over the roast with the roast juice and broth... but I was kinda thinking that crock pot might be a better idea, and that yeah it probably would have been better, but i didnt want to make waves and turn out with gross dinner so i just followed the recipe exactly. Thank you for the advice (:

Nice slop nooner

next time you put carrots in your crockpot, don't add them until the last ~30 minutes of cooking.

ya that is what Crusty Nutsack said, please read the thread or I will have to report for "trolling"

I just bought a wok!

tonight I made Pork Belly with Broccoli and Bok Choy.

for the sauce i used soy sauce, fish oil, garlic chili, oyster sauce, and a bunch of grated ginger. Pretty dang good.

What is the best oil to use when youre cooking with a wok? I just used vegetable oil, but I am guessing someone here will know somethign better for when you are trying to cook on really high heat

also was reading the wok thread (what inspired me to buy one) and can someone give me a good breakdown of the difference between light and dark soy sauce? When i googled it I just got retarded poo poo including a huff post for first hit. The best I've got is its like red and white wine, dark works for red meats and light for chicken and fish?

I just have kikkoman right now, is it worth investing in specialty soy sauce?

Thanks for the info guys, went to the Ranch 99 by my house and bought like 6 different things of sauces, gonna have some fun the next few weeks!

Here is some pork belly with broccoli and bok choy I made last night. It was okay but it needed more sauce or something, just kinda plain. pork belly was nice though.

and tonight -- Teriyaki Salmon with spinach. This is def a winner, suuuuper good

mixed teriyaki, light soy, brown sugar, chili flakes, ginger, and hoisin to marinade the fish then reduced it down for the sauce on top/the spinach.

Made a stirfry recipe from the wok this way thread tonight. substituted carrot and sugar snap peas for the mushrooms cause my gf doesnt like mushrooms, but other than that stuck with recipe, super good, I think I'd like it a little spicier but heck just add some chili flakes or something next time.

I got in trouble again so couldnt post for a week but I could still COOK!

Here is some blackened catfish I made with what I decided to call "Cajun mashed potatoes" but they were just mashed potatoes that I added a bunch of Louisiana hotsauce to.

Then I made some porkloin in a red wine reduction sauce with butternut squash, i baked the porkloin holy poo poo it was amazing, one of the best things I've ever cooked probably even if it just looks kinda meh in this picture, but the pork was perfectly juicy and delicious and squash perfect amount of softness. It was really really good.

Last night I stirfried up this badboi of chicken and asparagus, I used some dark soy sauce, garlic chili and fresh ground ginger. Was good as heck but I didnt make any noodles or riceto go with it which was a rookie mistake.

tonight I made a stirfry with squash, zucchini, onions and pork, made noodles this time too, was very good, made sauce from dark soy sauce, a little bit of light soy sauce, some siracha, brown sugar, and msg. Was gooooood

tonight I made Fish Tacos

I didnt really know what I wanted to make and the only decent fish at the market was the tilapia so i just bought that and some peppers and was originally just gonna cook em all up together but I felt like needed some kind of starch to go with and remembered I had tortillas.

They were excellent, very easy recipe, just julienned a small red and small yellow bell pepper and a couple of jalapenos and then stir fried them/the fish then recombined and added sauce which was just a little bit of light soy sauce and a whole lime's juice and some ginger.

I was going to add some cilantro inorder to give it that famous "latin" kick, but unfortunately the cilantro I had in the crisper was apparently older than I remembered it so I threw it out :sigh:

But yeah, I wasnt really feeling like making anything and given that was cooking with tilapia wasnt expecting much but was pleasantly surprised that it was actually really good!

Yah I know it's garbage fish that's why I was surprised it turned out so good but the pricing on everything else was retarded and I didn't feel like going to another market

But lol especially coming from me, but gtfo with you're siracha mayo sauce

theres a will theres moe posted:

A little shredded cabbage, quick pickled onions, some citrus and the mayo option are indeed pro tier fish tacos, not to insult the pepperfish tacos pictured.

I think garbage fish is perfect for tacos.

ya i admit I like traditional fish tacos a lot too, but this was just a kind of spur of the moment decision. def would use garbage fish for them again next time, and its so firm and non fish I might even be able to convince my girlfriend who hates pretty much all seafood to try it!

I made THIS tonight:

scrubs season six posted:

I think cream based pasta dishes are under utilized and people seem to be more impressed with them than a typical red sauce that everyone makes. Add in exotic and fancy cheeses and you've definitely got a dish that will impress the ladygoon that you've managed to trap in your basement lair.

4 tbsp butter
4 tbsp flour
8 ounces Gorgonzola
8 ounces Brie
2 or 3 cups cream
One or two bunches of fresh spinach or one or two packages of shredded frozen spinach, depending on how much you like spinach.
Some garlic
Maybe some chicken stock
Whatever the gently caress else you want to throw in there.

Saut� garlic then add flour to make a roux. Then heat up the cream. Then melt the cheese in it. Make sure you're stirring thoroughly and scraping the bottom or the cheese can end up all separating to the bottom and burning. Put in your spinach and stir it in and cook it.

Can leave it as is as a vegetarian dish (or add some coarse chopped portobellos or something). Can add shrimp and scallops and make it a seafood dish. Can add chicken and bacon and make it a chicken and bacon dish. Can add whatever you want, really.

Can leave out some cream and use chicken stock if you like things lighter. Can also add chicken stock to thin it out if it seems like it's too thick.

It's hella good but I think I already feel my arteries clogging. Only thing I would change next time is to double up on the spinach

Tonight I made curry!

I was super worried it was going to be too watery of sauce when I added the can of coconut milk but it ended up being just right consistency. It was extremely good. Forums user Criscodisco sent me the recipe so big thank you to them! I especially liked it cause it had lime and cilantro IN THE RECIPE! I've never had curry with a "latin" kick before!!
