cooking thread...


Recommended Posts

Would all u great people mind if I posted back on this thread. What I said was true but I hope brighter days are ahead. Our menu was truly what I said for 3 days. We r not eating steak yet but hamburger and some spaghetti was real good today. We all know most of us will never meet each other thru a glass screen but by the grace of God I have earned a great deal of respect for some special people here. If it's ok with the mods I would like to come back

Last night I cooked up some BC spot-tail prawns with primavera sauce on fusilli.

 

The prawns were trapped off Campbell River BC and one of my best buddies brought them out with him when he visited earlier this summer.

 

Steam them off in a rolling boil of salted water;

Then the finished dish:

Both photos taken surreptitiously when my wife wasn't watching..............could not sneak a picture of the plate, but you get the idea.

 

GOOD eats!

Thats a sweet dish there Doug. YUM YUM

 

 

Now I need a bit of help here.

 

Im looking for a sliced beef simmering sauce.

 

It,s a sauce that is spicey hot (not to hot to burn ya a new one ) but one that I can simmer some beef slices in for a beef on a bun.

 

I can only remember one that I use to eat at a pool hall back in my teens. It was a portugal billards hall. Man it was so good. This guy would start making it first thing in the morning for the local ole boys to have during thier domino games. It was a hit and home run. He cooked it up in a crook pot.

 

Anyone got one?

 

Thanks

Well I got the loins in the smoker yesterday, but not until 5:00 due to pouring rain. After 4 hours and 5 half pans of smoke they looked pretty good.

The one on the right was on the bottom rack and registered around 135°, while the loin on the upper half rack didn't even register a temp. A half hour in the oven at 225° brought the one up to 150 but the other took another 2 hours more.

The finished product. Lots of juice coming out the temp probe holes so it should be nice and moist meat. The kitchen sure smells good.

Didn't want to slice while hot and lose the juice so I did one today. It doesn't have that reddish tinge that the recipe site showed, as the curing salt I used didn't have the pink dye in it. Still looks great to me.

No taste yet but dinner tonight will be back bacon, apple cinnamon pancakes, farm fresh eggs and some big chunks of Greek tomato. They are so good. Speaking of which, here's a look at the inside of a Greek. All meat, few seeds and a great sweet flavour.

Cheers

 

Update: Wifey couldn't wait for tonight so she did up the bacon and eggs for lunch and said it was by far the best bacon she's ever had. That makes me feel real good. She said it was nice and moist with an amazing flavour, which I attribute to the prime fresh ingredients I used in the brine, specially all that garlic hehe.

for Brian

Why not start with a Diana's Marinade and add heat to taste?

Maybe a bit of this: http://www.hotsauce.com/Wet-Fart-XX-Hot-Sauce-w-Pooh-p/1505.htm

 

 

 

Nice choice. Diana,s has some great sauce/marinade.

 

Im looking from scratch.

 

I may just have to try and retry, but when I get it, I will know and so will you guys.

LOL Thanks Rick.

 

Even after posting this, my brain has been turning away.

 

I think I got a good start to what I want to try.

 

Start off with charded plum maters,some red sweet peppers the same and add some habinaros. Salt and pepper to taste. Pure all the above, pour over slices of beef and let stew very slow to desired tenderness.

 

Now what would one serve as a side dish? Maybe a penne greek salad? The choices are never ending.
