Lunch! What'd ya have? (2018)

CantCookStillTry · September 22, 2018

Chicken Schnitzel Burger for lunch. With Beetroot, Lettuce, Coleslaw & Cheese - would have been perfect apart from the suprise BBQ sauce. 🤨.

Pub in a bustling town with a population of 77 people.

I think we need some quantities here at least for the crust.

Seconded

I think we need some quantities here at least for the crust. I have never aspired to make an “authentic” Neapolitan pizza. I have often aspired to make an authentic 20 minutes pizza.

Here we go:

350 g AP flour

160 g full fat yoghurt (I use a self made one, quite tart)

80 g water

7 g salt

1 heaped teaspoon baking powder (sorry, didn’t weight it)

Combine, mix with hand mixer for about 5 min. Shape into two balls and let rest for some minutes, while preparing the sauce, chop the bacon and grate the cheese. For the sauce:

Half a can of finely chopped tomatoes

big pinch of salt

1 grated cloves of garlic

splash of balsamic vinegar

Oregano

Roll out the dough out, lift it into a very hot pan and cook it until it puffs a bit up and gets bubbly on the top (about 90 sec, see other post). The bottom will be speckled by then. Flip over, cook for 60 sec more, then flip once more and do maybe 30 sec.

Put half of the tomato sauce (I use my hand for even distribution 🤫), add the bacon and sweet corn (or chicken & onions, or whatever cooked ingredients you have), top with grated cheese (I use 75% Mozzarella and 25% Parmigiano) and put under a preheated grill (max setting with convection, about 10 cm distance). It should take about 2 min to have the cheese melted ...

Enjoy!

First time making Belgian shrimp croquettes.

The next day.

Have made it a couple of times now. Enough. Too much work. I usually eat the shrimp as a snack (or with scrambled eggs and bread) and save the shell for a broth.

Sichuan peppercorns for kicks.

In Belgium you pay about 6 euros for a croquette.

No week goes by without eating ma(a)jes.

@BonVivant I agree on the croquettes though they look tasty. Can you remind me of the nature of those new herrings. Are they cooked or cured or pickled in any way?

It's my wife's birthday today so I said I'd cook her what she wanted for lunch. She wanted something vegetarian and choose omelets with shiitake marmalade in them from MC.

Served along with Country Style Bread from MB:

Texture of the awesome savory marmalade:

Ma(a)tjes are raw herrings preserved in a brine.

If you have never seen how ma(a)tjes are cleaned have a look here:

@BonVivant Great video - thanks! I so enjoy watching the fish guys in general. So often here in the Asian markets there is a crowd waiting anxiously for the fish they selected. The speed and overall technique are exciting to watch. I clearly remember the fish guys at Grand Central Market here de-boning trout. They patiently gave me a lesson in a slower tempo when the crowd thinned. Aahh the occasional benefit eons ago of being young & cute

When a friend (@Kerry Beal) brought me a gift of vegetables from the Farmers’ Market, I knew that the corn would have to get my attention first. What to do? What to do? Well, I made Soy Garlic Japanese Street Corn from the Kikkoman site!

We were over in Alvin for a pottery class today, so stopped in at the Gordon Street Tavern for a late lunch/early dinner.

It's starting to cool off outside, so running our oven at 550F is an option again... so it's PIZZA TIME!

I like pepperoni on my side, but little cheese, my wife no pepperoni but more cheese

Kare raisu. See here.

Did a 6 mile beach walk after work. Picked some lump and claw crab meat after the walk. Crab cakes on the menu.

CantCookStillTry · September 25, 2018

I picked a pot of pickle and a pot of pork but alas no pickled peppers for the picking.

I am once again trying to wrest control of my freezer drawers from the grasp of Mot (semitic god whose hellish domain is somehow connected to his gullet). I found a package of Beef with Lots and Lots of Onions from Six Seasons. I paired it with some peas and served it over rice. I think I should’ve surrendered it to Mot. It has been in the freezer so long that it has lost its vibrancy completely.

Chocolate cake with chocolate frosting from Wegmans. Our "house" birthday cake for my office.

Wandered into a local produce market and found bags of shishito peppers.

Tonight paired them with the last of the lump/claw crab cakes

Say that ten times fast. And a fast is related to food.

It has been a while since I had ramen, just about a month and a half, in fact. I was running short of kimchi, so I paid a visit to the local (Panda Market) in Norwich, CT. This is a tiny place, but they do a good job. Not my favorite kimchi ( which is made by Kimchi Pride in New Jersey) but I have to drive to Cranston, RI for that, so I settled for the stuff Panda Market has, which is not bad. The wood ears there are just a little too woody for me, so I get mine from Amazonsmile (which kicks a little bit in to Egullet for me).

Here is my haul from Panda Market (Not a kimchi handle to be seen), but their Shanghai baby bok choy is always a winner.
