[judiu]

PB, I'd suggest scallions, very finely chopped and/or chives or garlic chives. JMHO!

[Anna N]

Chicken leg confit with mashed sweet potato.

[ChrisTaylor]

Thomas Keller's pork trotter (well, hock) recipe. The gribiche was a little rough: this was a long Monday and chopped was enough.

[liuzhou]

Chicken with Cordycep Militaris Mushrooms, Potato, Carrot and Leeks cooked in Marche Bianco wine. A one pot meal

[basquecook]

photos are hit and miss but, last night cooked dinner for some family..

Started with a vegetable soup. Swiss chard, collard greens, leftover endive, tomatoes, onions, chickpeas and a two links of smoked andouille. Served with bruschetta topped with salt packed anchovies mixed with parsley, olive oil and lemon juice. And angulas in olive oil.

Next up was salt cod brandade. baked, topped with bread crumbs, served with parsley salad with capers, onions and lemon.

This was a recreation of the dish as, I took a photo with the leftover salad and an leftover gratin.

Coq au vin as the main. It was pretty cool, Donnie Brasco was playing last night as we were making dinner. A punch of salt Donnie.

For dessert, individual pavolovas with black berry and whipped cream

[basquecook]

added some fregola to the soup, along with a small dried chile pepper and a half a pound of squid sliced very thing into rings.

Made a big pot of caldo verde on this cool Florida evening. Boy do I love this stuff. I'd eat this over a steak any day

[Steve Irby]

It's been pretty chilly for us folks in the Florida panhandle so comfort food is in order. Lentils and lamb with sun dried tomatoes, parsley and green onion. The french lentils were cooked in turkey broth and seasoned pretty aggressively with a harissa blend from World Spice with additional coriander, cumin and fenugreek.

Robirdstx, your curry looks delicious, but it is your bread that I'm craving.

Roast Chicken

Grilled Burgers with homemade potato chips.

Spicy ground turkey breast with bean sprouts and tofu.

[patrickamory]

Roast chicken. The rub was a mixture of salt, pepper, half-sharp paprika, toasted ground Sichuan peppercorns and star anise. Served with bread from Poilâne (an early Xmas present).

[basquecook]

chicken looks perfect

Flounder. I bought a whole guy and discovered there was roe. Soaked the filets briefly in warm milk, dipped in flour. cooked in butter. Made a brown butter and caper sauce. Simple green beans boiled, then salted, then lemon'd.

radicchio, blue cheese, pickled onions and lettuce.

Miss k had a 1/2 lb salmon steak w/ green beans and a mint chocolate chip milkshake.

[jvalentino]

Ground pork based somewhat on this recipe- http://www.marthastewart.com/314644/thai-beef-with-chiles-and-basil-over-coc

I add bok choy or other veg and tweak the sauce. Simple tasty Tuesday meal.

The marinated pork chops were too thin to stuff so I put the stuffing on the bottom of the chops. Stuffing was pineapple, greens, green onions, garlic, salt and pepper and sesame oil. Also had stuffed mushrooms, asparagus with buttered bread crumbs from leftover brioche bread and potatoes.

[jayt90]

A snow day kept me inside so I made a comforting tajine of beef ribs

with cabbage and Kennebec potatoes.

Dry aged ribeye with lobster butter béarnaise

[Robenco15]

Sous vide? Grab that at Craft? Saw one there last week, looked fantastic.

[mm84321]

Cooked unilaterally. Yes, from Craft. This one in particular caught my eye. Beautiful marbling. The flavor of fat is almost like foie gras.

[basquecook]

Bought 2 lbs of mussels yesterday and was planning on making a simple mussel pasta with jalapenos and white wine. However, all the mussels were open.. So, that wasn't very good. I read the fish tags and they had been pulled out on the 15th of this month. I don't have an explanation but, whatever.

So, I made a pasta sauce with garlic and oil, anchovies, tomato paste, red chile and a little white wine. Topped with cheese and homemade toasted bread crumbs.

It was actually fantastic.

Salad and cheesy garlic bread

Basquecook, those cracklings look so good.
