Dinner! 2012

[ScottyBoy]

Crispy thigh, banana fingerlings, shrooms, greens and spicy gravy with Dave's insanity sauce. I believe my roommate liked it.

I believe your roommate is never going to move out!

dcarch - thanks!! working on those food photography tips from the other thread! keep the constructive criticism coming

[piracer]

i don't have any photos but leeks and couscous have been on the plate for the last few days.

Sauteed in a little oil, garlic and then braised (some other veg were added) and then spiced up with siracha. Paired with some meatballs i made earlier.

Id like to read more details on the SV Orange chicken if you wish to share!

[kayb]

No photos, but tuna and white bean salad over fresh vine-ripened greenhouse tomatos. Wonderful! And all of 5 minutes to prepare.

Fried Pig's Tail, French Cut Romano Beans, Deviled Quail Egg, and Sauce Ravigote.

Nothing complicated. I have this dwarf orange tree which makes a lot of small sour oranges. I used the orange rind and a few leaves to put in the SV bag. Very nice infusion of orange citrus flavor into the chicken.

Here, calf's heart again. We love the taste and texture. This was the nose to tail marinate but my favourite so far is the anticuchos from Odd bits

[Prawncrackers]

It's been a busy start to the year at work, not had much time or energy to cook after a long day. So dinner has been sketchy recently, but here's a few from the past few weeks.

Rummaging through the freezer I found some scraps of beef, ox cheek, feather steak and some well aged end of a rib that I've been saving for burgers. So burgers it was, with some homemade briochy type buns and onion rings:

Flame grilled John Dory, Smoked Eel and Beetroot Salad with a Dashi Vinaigrette:

Ras-al-hanout spiced Duck Breast, Couscous and Honey Lime Sauce

Carnitas made with smoked beef ribs in a mole poblano sauce:

Tonight Spaghetti alla Bottarga with roasted Sea Bream (in the background):

Ugh, everyone else's photos are so much more colorful than mine

This is a Madhur Jaffrey recipe for kheema with ground beef and peas.

[ChrisTaylor]

Just fired up the smoker again. This time it's a piece of pork belly, seasoned with no more than salt, pepper and a little garlic powder. I'm debating whether or not I'll glaze the thing with some BBQ sauce later on.

I love that recipe!

Shrimp sautéed in olive oil with sliced garlic, parsley, and lemon juice, served with linguine. Peas with parsley and butter. Simple and satisfying.

Well, I had a photo of tonight's dinner until operator error (mine) lost it while trying to move it from my new smartphone to my netbook. Lesson learned. Guess I'll have to make it again. Anyway, I made chicken picatta, which I adapted from an Emeril recipe for veal picatta. It really was very nice and we had it with broccoli.

I haven't posted in a long gime. Have been moving around a bit. Hope to start posting more often.

As usual all your dishes are great inspiration.

Roasted pork my brother and I made.

[kayb]

A very monochromatic dinner of pork shoulder roast braised in apple juice; caramelized apples and onions; roasted turnips and parsnips, and a cabbage slaw with caraway, allspice and cloves.

I made a start toward gnocchi with duck confit, but didn't finish it. Both components are tucked away in the freezer for future use.

Edited to move photo.

Love the bottarga. Prawncrackers you just remind me I need to get some.

Kayb, you confit looks very good

C. Sapidus, your picture is so inviting!

Tonight we had a simple "red cooked" pork belly with white rice.

Thanks, dude.

My buddy from culinary school came up today and threw this together for a late lunch. He used my lobster stock for the orzo, but the rest was his own doing. It tasted great.

[mgaretz]

Simple dinner tonight of sous vide top sirloin with roasted baby golden beets and salad (not shown) with romaine, carrots, celery, daikon and avocado.

[SobaAddict70]

Great meals all, especially the pig's tail.

Mostly leftovers tonight, however this was something I threw together at the last minute...

"Bacon and eggs".

Soft-cooked farm egg, with baby Brussel sprouts and pancetta. Sprouts were steamed, then briefly fried with pancetta; then finished with a squeeze of lemon, salt and black pepper.

[nikkib]

What a lovely sounding salad mark - soba too, Brussels sprouts and bacon with egg mmmmm just delicious!

[threestars]

Prawncrackers set looks really awesome! Specially the duck breast!

[Keith_W]

Sobaaddict, interesting looking eggs. Did they have double yolks?
