Dinner tonight: Chickpeas and baby spinach braised in coconut milk with ginger and lemon. Served over a Hasselback russet potato. Sorry for the crappy photo, I thought it came out better and when I realized it didn't we had eaten it already. bosko posted:Christmas treats! I don't know what any of those are but I want to eat all of them

I totally missed the switch from the old thread to the new. You all make fantastically good looking food. Here are some things I'm moderately proud of from the past month +/- Thanksgiving dinner- spatchcocked the bird, after an overnight dry brine- pretty fantastic and I don't think my family will do a whole turkey any other way from now on. My favorite on the table though was probably the sage & honey cornbread. First time I ever did pork belly. Also some fingerling potatoes, consumed in front of my computer, like the goon I am. Finally, tonight's meal- a small rib roast, with leftover potatoes and salad. I'm probably going to forego eating meat in January just to make up for the past month or so.

I usually stick to baking since I'm not very confident preparing actual food, but I got a new cookbook for Christmas, so I took it for a test drive with some cauliflower soup. I also did a cookie.

First Christmas day we went to my bro for a family tapas dinner, no pictures taken. Second Christmas day (wich is an official holiday over here) we didn't go out, I pictured some of the things eaten: as a starter, we had smoked salmon (with a honey mustard dressing), eal and a quick pickle then an duck breast salad (not pictured) sans salad, because we forgot to buy that...the duck tasted fine on its own though. Followed by a frizzante with pear ice And the entrez was a turkey thigh we deboned and filled with cheese and cranberries soaked in brandy, with a red wine sauce, green beans wrapped in pancetta and a rather tiny serving of broccoli Finally we had a cheese platter, wich was not pictured due to too drunk.

My dad just got back into town last night. He loves gingerbread and my mom never makes it (he is inept in the kitchen, and unlikely to make it for himself) because roll-out cookies are such a pain in the rear end. So we made gingerbread for him as a welcome-home present. He's a veterinarian, and I got little dog themed cookie stamps for them. The ones with actual dogs were the hardest to get good results from. The upper right cookie is a little Scottie dog, that one transferred the least well; the lower right is a dog's head. The others (doghouse, bone, and hydrant) were easier to get good results from.

Made some cookies as well but ate all of them before I remembered the camera. Now I'll have to make more Anyway, a few things I made recently that didn't immediately disappear: Test run of pork Wellington. A bit overcooked despite using a thermometer (hence the hole), as the temperature shot up way faster than I expected. Not bad otherwise though. Svíčková with rice because I don't like making (or eating) the dumplings. Carbonnade flamande... with rice again (I should mix that up a bit). It didn't marinade nearly as long as necessary but still turned out pretty sweet.

A nice quiet New Year's at home Everyone should try this focaccine recipe. Super quick, you don't even have to get your hands dirty, and they go very well with guacamole or hummus or babaganoosh and all sorts of other stuff. Guacamole with the aforementioned focaccine, with some crema de peperoncini piccanti from Sardegna. Lychees are becoming one of my favorite things to snack on: Spaghetti with broccoli pesto and almonds: Seitan with lentils: Tiramisu: baw fucked around with this message at 15:14 on Jan 1, 2015 |

I haven't ever been too adventurous with food until this past year. Kicking off 2015 with something I've never had. Homemade duck leg confit, parmesan garlic mashed potatoes, watercress, sauced with bordelaise (and the mushrooms and carrots from the bordelaise).

I made banh mi for the first time tonight. Don't know why the gently caress I haven't made it before considering I love it and my options around here are limited. Needless to say there is no pic because I shoved that poo poo in my facehole fast. For the meaty part I made chicken sausage patties with fish sauce, oyster sauce, garlic, chiles, green onions and a little sugar. Made a sriracha aioli, and the carrot and daikon pickles. Sandwiches on crusty bolillo rolls with a hefty smear of sriracha mayo, a few drops of maggi, sausage, pickles, cuke, jalapeno slices and cilantro. It was a good first dinner of 2015.

That Works posted:Yeah it does pretty well. You don't get as visible a ring and a real bite from the smoke like you do with a brisket but it gets in nicely. Also the low and slow keeps it really juicy and tender overall. What was your experience with smoking a bird? I got mixed reactions a few years back on Thanksgiving. The turkey was super moist, but some people were turned off by seeing the smoke ring (most people don't want to see red meat in poultry), and the skin was leather. sharkattack posted:roasted parmesan garlic acorn squash I thought you cooked Batarangs for a minute.

Happy (belated) New Year, thread! A couple of things from the last few days; crab-stuffed avocados for a NYE starter (white crab meat, dijon, basil, red chilli, olive oil etc.): Black bean quesadillas (beans, corn, cilantro, red onion, garlic, cheese and a whole boatload of "secret" taco seasoning): My freezer is groaning from how many of these I have for quick and dirty shift-work emergency eating I take no credit for this one, I just thought I'd honour it My friend tried making sushi for her first time. I think it turned out pretty spectacularly: baw posted:Tiramisu: This is cute as a button

The tenderness and flavor are top notch and I didn't get any complaints about the smoke rring before. The skin you just have to accept as a lost cause and remove. We didnt butcher the bird at the table and just brought out a platter of meat.

We decided to do elementary school lunch today. Fresh bread for PBJs, and three flavors of potato chip. Plain salt: Sea salt and rosemary: BBQ: Potatoes on the mandoline to get them super thin; this is 3 potatoes worth, less the ones we ate straight off the cooling rack. I was just gonna do salt, the other flavors were my girlfriend's idea. The rosemary ones are spectacular. We weren't sure what to season with for BBQ; these have chili powder, cayenne, paprika, and kosher salt. Thinking about it, they should probably have had cumin in, but they were good.

A bit of a dump from myself as I've been a busy bee in the kitchen over the last couple of days. Broccoli & Stilton Soup (you can't really go wrong): Decided it was time to bust out my pickled red cabbage after a month and a half. First time doing something that wasn't just a quick pickle and making a proper infused pickling liquor reduction etc. etc. Cider vinegar, red wine, sea salt, peppercorns, mustard seeds, sugar, bay leaves and all kinds "in" here. Pretty pleased - at the very least it's a great colour (luckily it tastes great too)! Had a bit of a 70s moment and put it with a smoked salmon mousse cased and chilled in cucumber with ghetto melba toast (second batch pictured - first was the first time I've set my oven on fire for a good while. I think I forgot just how quickly you have to grill the cut sides ). Terrible plating/pic (I just wanted to show the insides!); tasty food. Turnip & potato gratin with more double cream than is good for anyone: ...to go with a steak and ale pie veggie fake steak: ...ending up like this (in terrible lighting, as usual): So many other things to try, so little time (not helped by getting around to installing the Kindle app on my iPad and impulse buying a massive new cookbook ).

I'll let the Latino contingent answer that definitively, since I have somehow previously gone 30 years without eating refried beans, but as I understand it you just mash them til they're as mashed as you want them. My potato masher blows and I decided it was good enough.

My potato masher blows and I decided it was good enough. Its your food. Make it the way you like it. I grew up in Texas and would Love to eat the hell out of that breakfast. At a Tex-Mex restaurant, if you order refried beans you will get smooth mashed Pinto beans. Refried Black beans are a rare treat to find on a menu and may be more common in New Mexico or California.
