Veal fricassee.

Sourdough Benedict….

 

[MarcelNL]

I watched a few videos but mostly followed this one, with some substitutes and omissions based on what I had on hand or could get in the suburban midwest:



My paste was shallot, ginger, garlic, lemongrass, fresh hot chilis, chipotles in adobo (sub for dry chilis, which I ran out of) turmeric powder and coriander powder. Couldn't find fresh turmeric or galangal locally, even at H Mart.

The beef was brisket. Cooked out the paste, added beef, simmered in coconut milk with cinnamon, star anise, cardamom, cloves, lime leaves and lemongrass for about 4 hours. Added kirisik. Seasoned with fish sauce, palm sugar, tamarind paste.

It helps to simmer the beef with the tamarind, helps tenderizing. and IMHO it needs laos and kemiri nuts.

Clams linguini (white), which definitely has a fancier name:

This is half the clams. I raked them all myself. Usually this recipe calls for 24 clams, so I used 66. And they all opened! Throw out any that do not.

Yum

Normally i am not a guy that eats warm breakfast and, apart of an boiled egg, not heating up the stove to prepare something.
But this one was worth it. Grilled sourdough bread with a pesto of sundried tomatoes and some ham and cheese.

Pretty damn nice leftovers!

onion tarte tatin.

That looks phenomenal! Drool…

 

[sumis]

That looks phenomenal! Drool…

thanks! it actually is super yummy. it's like sneaking a desert into the meal before you've earned it: puff pastry, cheese, sugar, butter, all in abundance. it will shorten your life, but it's super tasty.

I spent a whole day making cassoulet only to leave it too long in the oven and dry it out. Soaked up all the stock. Won't make that mistake next time.

Could you point me at the recipe please?

Not the end of the world, I'm sure it was very tasty regardless. It certainly looks good!

i change things around all the time, but this recipe is really good, and structurally very similar to what i do:
https://www.seriouseats.com/french-onion-soup-tarte-tatin
or this one, which is pretty pretty:


now, if you have the time and courage, start instead with caramelising the sugar, then melt the butter, and then add the onions …
use the best onions you can find at the moment. doesn't really matter what kind.
experiment away, but a really good flakey fatty puff pastry is important imho.

i do use a cast iron pan. but a carbon steel works fine as well.

I've made that recipe a bunch of times and it is excellent!

Thanks, yes it was tasty but I wanted it more saucy. Lesson learned.

I catered a buddies wedding with a three day heads up. I sous vide six racks or pork ribs for 18 hours and smoked them for two after that. I did the same thing for a large brisket as well. Here are some photos including a slice of leftover brisket for my post wedding brisket sandwitch.

A perfect dish to get rid of some leftovers and quick enough to do during your lunchbreak... Nasi Goreng...
No Sambal Oelek left....

 

[MarcelNL]

Nasi Goreng IS leftover recycling, forget sambal oelek, try something like Sambal Djeroek with lime leaves , compliments nicely with the trassi ;-)

Koningsvogel is reasonable sambal, for the real deal you need to make your own or find an Indonesian granny who makes it (divide amounts by ten since they tend to make it VERY hot).

Sounds good. Will give it a try.
Or bing some with me next time in Indonesia....

Pork 'n' Watercress Soup.
My riff on the Cantonese classic—from a while ago, forgot to post it here.

I've eaten way too much meat lately. meat sweats.

this morning, I saw a bag of fresh okra, so I made a quick braise for BREAKFAST! to make it legally breakfast, I put an egg on top.

and that might be a 1st place chili cooking contest trophy in the background.

celebrate your success!
