    Do you slice your own sausage or can you buy this (fabulous faux pasta) pre-detailed.     It looks like sausage I somehow ran through my pasta machine, which sounds like s monumental clean up.     Still..,.WANT!

     

    Both. In Germany it is easy enough to find a couple of presliced sausage varieties (and with or without added cheese), so I tooknthe lazy route. In Hong Kong I used to make this from leftover Leberkäse that I had to slice myself, and I would do the same here when sufficient suitable leftovers give me the opportunity. My mother never buys the presliced stuff ...

  2. In order to prepare for tonight‘s leftover pork knuckle feast, my wife and son had cake & cocoa (with marshmellows, papa!) at 16.30h. So, I enjoyed pork knuckle tacos alone ...

    @Duvel really nice! Which flour do you use? It totally drives

    me nuts that in Italy they use specific  flours, with all the technical information,  depending on how long they want to keep their dough in the fridge. Here I almost have to look for bread flour 😒. I could look for polselli or caputo on line but in Florida humid weather I don’t want to store flour for long time. 

     

     

    I use an organic T550 flour from my local supermarket. They have a lot of varieties:

    I haven’t „set“ on a favorite yet since I returned, but this one gives good results. 

    To be honest: my flours usually don't last long enough to make me worry about long storage times ...

    Congratulations on the "Family Reserve".  Was that from your visit to Louisiana?

     

    (I am partial to Family Reserve myself.)

     

    Yup, I stocked up. Truly great stuff.

     

    Luckily, since relocating back to Germany, I’ve been awarded with „global responsibilities“, including some assets in Louisiana. So I hope to be able to replenish my shelves soon ...

    @Duvel

     

    very interesting :

     

    1 ) can you get the ' Green ' tabasco in your area ?   the flavor of Green heat

     

    is different

     

    1 )  nest time you do your pork knuckle

     

    Id love to see the PK  before you cook it .

     

    is that the hock or the foot of the Pig ?

     

    thank you for your posts

     

    Hi @rotuts:

     

    1) Yes, I can get essentially all Tabasco products, because I order directly in Luisiana via some dear colleagues (cf. the „Family Reserve“) ...

     

    2) With „nesting time“ you refer to cooking time ? Its 3h barely simmering in a heavily spiced (caraway, cloves, onion, ...) stock, followed by 30 min in the convection oven (full whack, brushing with stock every 10 min).

    This is the hock, front leg. Feet do not respond well to this treatment, they do not have enough structural integrity.

  7. Minor crisis in the Duvel household: In order to provide an appropriate crumb shot of „my“ pizza al taglio for the „bread“ thread, said pizza was prepared and served much to the delight of a certain 5 year old.

    Unfortunately, the actual intended dinner for tonight was a proper „Schweinshaxe“ (or grilled pork knuckle), which arrived about 25 min later at the dinner table, much to the dismay of wife & son. I insisted (rather unsuccessfully) that everyone gives it a try.

    A heated argument on the amounts of food preoared in our household and the fate of all the leftovers ensued. Tomorrow (and most likely Tuesday) we are going to have pork knuckle tacos ...

    Chartreux V.E.P. as a digestive.

     

    Seriously, I don't seem to have a particular problem.

     

     

    At least none that couldn‘t be addressed with appropriate libations ...

    ive never added shrimp to eggs

     

    Ill have to give that some thought.

     

    I know it looks a bit like it, but the scrambled eggs were actually topped with the shrimps. Given that the eggs were quite soft they sunk in a bit ...

    If you can get your hands on this type of shrimp, please give the combination a try.

    A take on eggplant parmesan. Eggplant slices layered with ricotta, kashkaval and roquefort; flavored with with nutmeg and pepper.

    Sauce of beetroot, light cream, thyme.

  11. Lazy ... there is no other expression to describe my mood today. Homemade burgers w/ the works. Luckily, the family supports my state of mind by just consuming what I put in front of them ...

    Ham and eggs.  The ham part was a smoked pork chop from a local company on Vancouver Island. 

     

    Seeing this makes me seriously considering adding breakfast to my weekday routine again ...

  13. After commuting for four years via ferry I had my first major traffic jam today. 90 min for about 30 km ...

    So dinner prep time was cut down to 15 min - broccoli fritters (as my wife is concerned about the little ones veggie intake), quick guacamole with north sea shrimp and hummus left-overs stretched with goat cheese. Little one got the excess guac with shrimps and concluded that next time he only wants that ...

  14. The common intersection between leftovers from numerous Mettbrötchen orgies, little time to prepare dinner and the rarely predictable preferences of a five-year old is this: Pasta (technically Fusilli Bucati Corti) with meatballs. 

    No time required, no fuss, no complaints. And a pleasant Rioja for me, just because ...

  15. I bought some „ribs“ yesterday. Well, technically they are, because they did contain a few rib bones. But really it was just a big chunk of lower breast meat with a few bones left in. Nevertheless, it got the full SV ribs treatment (dry rub, 12h marinating, 12h @165 F, then finished with BBQ sauce in the oven). Accompanied by sweet corn (regular/herb butter finish) and croquette-fried potato-pumpkin puree (weekend leftover). Family was happy and so was I ...

    I'm in Sevilla now and missing the low price in the Sierra. Price-quality-service-portion size ratio is far better in rural Spain.

    They really charge 6 Euro for the tomato ?!
