Picture Thread: What's For Dinner?

[wdfifteen]

Yes, I make my bread in an upside-down cast iron dutch oven. It's like a steam dome and helps the crust. We like firm bread, but i want it to three dimensional and I haven't found a way to get it to stand up in the oven without falling flat without kneading it to give it some body.

Spanish mackerel. Fillet, then soak in ice water, water changed 3X. Boil a small pot of miso soup, flame off, slip ice cold fillets into soup, the soup will gently cook the fish to the perfect consistency. Brush with carmelized Yoshida sauce.

The recipe called for a bone in pork shoulder. I picked up a 3lb boneless Duroc shoulder and added a couple of ham hocks for flavor and collagen as the marinade becomes the sauce and it is delicious. I transferred the ham hocks to the bean pot after braising was completed then shredded the meat in the beans before discarding the bones. The flavor combo in the sandwich is fantastic - Toasted Baguette/ garlic aioli/ cilantro/ pickled jalapeno/ braised pork/ sauteed onions/ more cilantro/ romaine lettuce/ more garlic aioli. This was a huge hit with the family, completely worth the effort, and I'll definitely be doing it again.

Prepping for Superbowl party this Sunday. This marinated caribbean pork recipe is so good I'm using it as a base for Brunswick Stew and Mini Caribbean Pork Sliders. The house smells absolutely amazing! Braised this bone in pork shoulder for 6 hours!

Homemade crust and baked spinach pie

A suggested marinade for Salmon, I just tried and was blown away.

1. Honey
2. Soy Sauce
3. Dijon or Spicy Brown Mustard
4. couple dashes of Mrs. Dash seasoning
5. couple dashes of ground black pepper

Marinade for 30-45 minutes at room temp. Or 1 hour refrigerated. Helps to cook the salmon at room temp though.

Easy and incredible......

Are those called "pasties" in the UK? Do you have a link to your recipe?

[john70t]

It's just a meat with spinach, onion, carrot, maybe sweet potato, whatever, spices in a crust. Use whatever. Many variations and names. Not much different between a burrito and a soft taco.

The pie crust recipe I've got written down:
2 1/2 C standard flour.
1 1/4 t salt aka a dash
1 T sugar aka a big dash
3/4 C shortening cold I used lard
6 T unsalted butter cold.
8 t - 1/2 C cold water idk what is optimal but make it workable but not like pancake batter

Superman (thx btw) mentioned using cold water and fats and not over-mixing. Everyone needs an essential pastry cutter and big heavy bowl to make crust. Add a little at a time and cut in for small globules and flaky crust. Add water at end to help the flour stick together. Cut into fist sized balls. This made two or three. Rest a few hours in fridge at least before freezing or using.
400 deg. 20-30 min. on a flat cast iron skillet.

I’ve been steaming foods lately

Here is Cantonese Steamed Chicken. Maybe my favorite childhood food memory.
