Picture Thread: What's For Dinner?

[vash]

long story. could end poorly, since i have a fridge full of wine.

[nynor]

very nice.

[nynor]

i made jambalaya this evening. i love jambalaya. it is impossible to buy proper andouille sausage around here. trust me, i've tried. i resorted to some 'louisianna style sausage' and it is good. homegrown mushrooms, of course.

T-rex meal.

Yeah, ok, this was in another thread tonight,
3lbs clams
1/2 bottle white wine
2 tbls spns Italian dressing
1 whole clump garlic cut in half
put everything in cold, when they start popping open pull the open ones out
pour the wine over them in the bowl,
serve with bread from the broiler and
sweet potato
plus the rest of the wine
Grahm Kerr said the only way to cook with wine is in the glass, but I had to use some in the pan with clams.

2" thick NY strip steak.

did it on my weber gas grill. i got it rocket hot..and seared it. payed attention to getting those 45degree grill marks . the steak was fat enough to need searing on 3 sides. on the 4th side, i moved it to the back of the grill, shut off the rear 2 burners, and "baked" it until it registered 125. i prevent that gray livery layer this way. it was $12.99 a lb..these days..it is rich for my blood..so i stay vigilant at the grill.

BIL likes medium. if it was just my wife and i, i would have targeted med rare.

steak like this is great with horseradish sauce.

I had a similar cut a few months ago, it was excellent. nicely done!

[el_faldero]

I dine out mostly. Food is cheap here and it is too hot to cook.



This is not a falafel.

[Shaun @ Tru6]

[nynor]

that looks good, shaun.

[RWebb]

is that Feta in the tomato?

and what else?

[Shaun @ Tru6]

Simple food is some of the best.

thick pork chop heavily crusted with salt and pepper sauteed in butter and peanut oil. I like to use previously used peanut oil, this was from frying some chicken. combined with the butter, browns and tastes better.

tomato is just hollowed out, a little salt, splash of balsamic, cut off 1 inch + of a chevre roll and bake.

blanching a few basil leaves and placing under the cheese with olive oil would work as well.

[RWebb]

thx - I will do something similar tonite

Try using a good wheat beer instead, and some fresh ginger & garlic.

ok guys, i invented a new dish tonight!! had leftover, mole braised turkey legs. what to do? what to do? i added some more of my homemade red chili sauce to the mole. warmed it up. in the meantime, i shredded all the turkey off the bones and chopped it up. then i made:

braised turkey leg, chili mole enchiladas!! i added an egg to add that yoke-y unctuousness. it was great!! i do them flat style, like i learned in texmex school. haha!

[nynor]

damn, that looks good. too bad i am allergic to chocolate.

Steelhead Trout marinated with white wine, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic and basil, thyme and oregano from my garden, fresh grilled veggie, and stir-fried rice.
