Chipotle Chicken with Black Beans and Brown Rice. was freaking awesome. Sauce is basically Chile Colorado, with chipotle. Gonna put that poo poo on everything.




Sauce looks great, it's a shame that it's quite difficult to get decent quality dried chillis over here, at least in my experience.

Made Caico e Pepe for lunch (yes it's linguine, all I had):

Made harissa yesterday morning and then last night made shakshuka for the first time

Where has shakshuka been all my life holy gently caress was that good

I made it a few weeks back, it was great. Definitely something I would make again.

Also just got back from Hungary where I tried paprika goulash, which I will definitely be making.

Looks amazing, did you bake the salmon skin up? How did you keep the flesh from drying out if so?

Not sure about slothrop but I usually pan sear for a few minutes, then in the oven for 4-5 mins then finish with a little butter and lemon.

Grilled lamb chops, pea and mint giant couscous and tenderstem broccoli.




The fat cap on the lamb chops was a bit excessive, tasted great though.

What's the texture on cooked octopus like? I've only ever had it on nigiri and my wife hates how rubbery it is but I enjoy it.

This was still slightly rubbery, but quite tender. Definitely not chewy.

I boiled it in 1% saltwater for 40 mins then in an ice bath (prepped at work for dinner the following day). Then grilled it at high heat for 3-4 minutes before serving.

Málà Spicy Scotchuan Egg, served with Korean Chili Lime Aioli, Cured Numbing Quail Egg and Roasted Sesame Broccolini with Fried Shallots.



Looks amazing, can I get a recipe on that aioli?

I'm trying to go Vegan for the week, just to try different things. But I did staff food yesterday for everyone else which consisted of a burger using:

Rosemary Focaccia roll
7Oz Veal Burger
Vegan garlic aioli
Crispy fried onion strings
Spinach
Plum Tomato



The rolls were too big but people seemed to enjoy them.

Dessert was a dark chocolate and hazelnut mousse:

What's that sauce? Looks miso-y but not the Nagoya style.

Basically this but I passed it through a sieve to smooth it out a bit more, I doubt it's very authentic.

I was saying okay to that sauce until it went loving wild at the end there, lol. There are a lot of different secret ingredients people put in their Japanese curry though. I've never seen coconut milk or maple syrup, but I bet people do it.

This is super good, recommend for your next katsu adventure: https://www.justonecookbook.com/nagoya-miso-katsu/

That looks better, I'll have to order some Miso as it's not really a common item here outside of Asian markets. Saying that neither is Mirin, Sake or Dashi...

Edit: I used honey, maple syrup would be very odd imo.

Where are you? It might be hard to get hatcho miso, but I've been able to find it online in the US. Dashi you'll make at home, but for something like this you can just buy the granulated form: https://www.amazon.com/Ajinomoto-Dashi-Soup-Stock-4-23/dp/B0002YB40O It's worth making dashi from scratch for something where it's a star flavor, in this case or in a curry I wouldn't bother. Powdered dashi is pretty good for an instant food.

There are online suppliers but stock is all over the place right now, understandably.

My brother dropped off a present for me earlier today:



So I made pan-seared seabass w/ tomato and garlic couscous, roasted San Marzano tomatoes and a garlic lemon butter.





6h from sea to plate, can't get much fresher than that.

Should this be "ancho chili powder"? Or is "nacho chili powder" a thing?

Nacho chilli powder sounds pretty bomb though, as a popcorn seasoning or something.

That is pretty close, and I can't imagine anyone being shocked by its existence.

We don't seem to get any of this kind of thing in the UK.

Edit: Actually I have found this brand, although not this specific flavour... £7-8, so $10-11. What a rip off.

Yep, 120g flour, 135ml ish hot water with a tsp salt. Kneaded 10 mins, then rested and rolled.

Also wish I had chopsticks, eating them with a fork just looks wrong.

Oh dang, I've legit never done the chicken right in. Usually I roast the chicken and add the shredded flesh into the soup.

Poached chicken looks very bland but it's usually very tender.
