OOOOOOHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OK, here's what to do, a great recipe, easy and almost foolproof !

Erin~

I can eat a little bit of liver but......7 lbs. ?
I guess you could freeze it and eat it little by little, or make some local dogs VERY happy !

Directions:
Take a square of foil, spray with nonstick spray. Put cooked rice, chicken, veggies and basil on foil, drizzle with salad dressing. Fold foil tightly to enclose...throw on low grill or 350' oven for about 20-25 min. I could eat this 2x/week!
Ah, I'd like to do this with brown rice. Should I slightly undercook the brown rice first, then make sure there's a touch of liquid for it to absorb on the oven stint? What would you say, cook it about half-done?
Or with pastas that will go into the oven; maybe half-cook them first also?
Maybe, I'm not sure with brown rice. Probably, and yes, a little liquid but not too much 'cause the chicken throws off some. So yummy !

RE: foil packets
I love doing chicken/rice type things in foil that I can pop into the oven for 1/2 hr. Like this:
Caesar Chicken
1 chicken breast, uncooked, cut into strips or chunks
1/2 c. cooked rice
2 T each finely diced sweet red pepper and red onion
2 T chopped fresh tomato
1 T shredded fresh basil
2 T Caesar salad dressing ....low fat is fine
Salt and pepper to taste

I also do a teriyaki version. They freeze well, just cook a little longer from frozen.

thanks. Have you used it alone, or only combined?

Hmmm. Mostly positive reviews. Wow, LOTS of eggs , tho !
I've been searching like crazy but not coming up with much useful for savory, and everyone seems to indicate that working with it is very hit or miss--you cannot just substitute it for anything else. It seems to retain a lot of moisture. Might be good to mix with almond flour.
I know you can use it w/ almond flour for breading on chicken, etc.
I have some on order. We'll see.

I am eager to try coconut flour as an alternative to wheat but only seem to find sweet recipes out there. I am looking at it as both a gluten free and low carb choice.
Does anyone have any experience working with it? I love the taste of coconut oil in savory applications (scrambled eggs !) so I am open.

Under the circumstances, I'd recommend long and slow so you don't have to worry about time.

I never make PR any other way---I love it.

more posts, please ! You are one of the few whose posts I read, regardless of topic............

Costco here sells these and labels them Sirloin tip roasts.
I "tri"d them and I think bland is not a strong enough word. They would be Ok for posole if you really spiced up the posole. No, they would ruin perfectly good hominy. Maybe you could use them in a recipe that called for that textured vegetable protein stuff the health food stores carry.
Or, maybe not..................
-
sounds like something to pass up, no matter what the price !
Thank you all for yur input---I'll stick to shoulder
-
I've recently sen pork tri-tip at our local groc stores, can't get a good look to see if it looks like the beef tri-tip or not.
Is anyone familiar with these? Can you cook them the same way or are they better cooked long and slow like other pork this size? Any input would be appreciated !
-
I thought I was alone.I love the act of cooking, find it theraputic---end of busy hectic day with people talking at me? Low music, glass of wine and a complicated recipe---it all fades away. Do I want to eat it? Not so much, a nibble, a taste........better to have someone to eat it and say how good it is !
Almost all food falls into this category............
-
I think I'd make sick with brown butter shortbread. I can't think of many pure flavors that are more seductive.
Against my (much) better judgement, can you point me to a recipe?
-
Inspired by this thread, I took some short ribs out of the freezer this AM and have had them braising with red wine with porcinis. I also had some chuck in there so threw it in (chunks, large) . I browned them in the oven (inspired !! Thx!) and they have been cooking at 300' for hours. Just tasted them....both yummy and tender but the short ribs MELT...........chuck is just good.

Don't know about Napa/Sonoma but in Paso Robles Harvest has been in full swing for the last week or two............someplaces more.

I'll be in the San Luis Obispo area in two weeks, and I'm looking for dining recommendations. Here's the list of possibilities that I've garnered so far:
Big Sky
Firestone Grill
Cracked Crab
Korberl at Blue
Two Blocks Off the Beach
Mama's Meatball
Has anyone been to these restaurants or have other suggestions?
Hi Sara~
Are you looking for lunch and dinner? Will you be staying in SLO?
Big Sky~ I always like what is on the menu ....until I get it! Usually seemed underseasoned to me, needing at least a little salt, but the concepts are great. Nice ambience.
Firestone~ college place, burgers and beer, might be crowded since school will have just started
Cracked Crab~ expensive but fun. big bunch o' crab dumped on your table, messy but tasty

I am sure you've made the BOUCHON CAULIFLOWER GRATIN in the past. Is is not quite right (with the addition of potatoes, of course) ?

I just got a call from the supervisor. She wanted to let me know how a cook at another program cooks her roast. She buys an Outside round roast and cooks it from frozen. She puts it in a pan with a bit of water. She covers the pan with saran wrap and then foil( I didnt know you can cook saran wrap). She cooks it at 325f for 1/2 per pound. Does this sound right? Do you cook beef from frozen?
don't know how it would work with thta type of roast but I PREFER to cook my tritips from frozen !
THE FROZEN BEEF TOPIC

I really wanted to see something on that nut with the super-complicated menu who wanted to franchise. I believe the restaurant has changed hands but it would have been fun to see it before that happened.(Sebastian's, Toluca Lake.........that was it!)
-
There was a lengthy discussion about anti-brining -- think about pre-salting. It works. If you don't own the Zuni Cafe Cookbook (by Judy Rogers), run to your local library and check it out. She goes into depth about the why's and where-fore's of this technique. I do it all of the time, with superlative results.
Ditto. I love presalting (Russ Parsons had some good observations in that thread, IIRC) and even do it to steaks and tritip before I freeze them.
(You might find the COOKING A ROAST FROM FROZEN thread interesting. I love doing tritip this way.)

Holy Crap. Why does this make me want to eat one? I must be very sick.....
