Hoping the allspice comes through in the latest batch and I don't hate myself for leaving out the garlic

how do you come by red habaneros in january?! (am trying to grow habaneros and ghost peppers this year) i've never added corn tortillas to chili though, what a great idea.

Kenny Shopsin puts masa in his and I am a fan!
― mom tossed in kimchee (quincie), Monday, 1 May 2017 14:50 (seven years ago) link
i think kenji adds masa too, and i'm definitely gonna try it next time
― jason waterfalls (gbx), Monday, 1 May 2017 14:54 (seven years ago) link
one thing that is definitely making me excited about moving to new mex: hatch (or chimayo!) chiles
― jason waterfalls (gbx), Monday, 1 May 2017 14:55 (seven years ago) link
adding masa is cool just gotta be careful it doesn't clump
― call all destroyer, Monday, 1 May 2017 15:00 (seven years ago) link
I stole it from ATK I think? Originally they said to put the tortillas and the beer in the blender but it's less work to just dice them up tbf. Soaking them doesn't seem to have much effect.
the habaneros come on a truck.

next batch, definitely keeping the allspice; actually I think the dried seasonings are on point finally - less hot peppers though, and I think the bacon didn't render enough in the oven, this batch is a little greasy.

found an interesting technique flipping through the zuni cafe cookbook yesterday, where you quick braise fish with other stuff under your broiler. you basically get a quick gratinee of everything, then you lower the broiler and cook the finish mostly through. remove from oven, take out the fish, and finish sauce & stuff on the stovetop.
tried it tonight with potatoes, leeks, thyme, sea bass, and a lot of butter. rustic and delicious.

Y'ALL
THIS. IS. BANGIN.
http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2016/03/bucatini-pasta-amatriciana-recipe.html
also lol @ the guy at the gourmet shop for getting fussy w/ me asking for 0.2lb of guanciale but that's all I needed bcz I halved it and that shit was still $5 for 0.2 lb!!
anyway track down guanciale or I guess use pancetta and this shit is SO FUCKING EASY and it's one of those recipes that uses v few ingredients and showcases all of their glorious flabors

never made something like this before, seems impossible to fuck up though https://smittenkitchen.com/2007/05/crumbling-crisp-convictions/

got huge strawberries and rhubarb this AM at farmers' mkt
gah I never see rhubarb at the farmer's market here, I should get mum & dad to covertly send me some in the mail.
that recipe looks good, I'm gonna save that one.
crumbles are my life, I just used up a year-old bag of frozen berries that I'd forgotten about in the back of the freezer and turned it into a cobbler/crumble kind of thing. easy and delish!
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 15 May 2017 00:57 (seven years ago) link
i made that crumble and its v v v good
― he not like the banana (Stevie D(eux)), Friday, 19 May 2017 23:09 (seven years ago) link
started bunging rhubarb into my stirfries and it does add something. Works for savoury if you don't add sugar.Just kept seeing it in the local LIDL and thought I'd give it a shot.
also cashew nuts, plenty of ginger, garlic, turmeric, chillies, pepper, chayote, aubergine, courgette, leeks, shallotts, spring onions, mushrooms, cabbage, spinach, chard, kale, tomato, radishes, and a few other things.
― Stevolende, Friday, 19 May 2017 23:24 (seven years ago) link
I also made that crumble as, like harbl, I had picked up strawberries and rhubarb at the farmer's market. I'm a little on the fence about it--I missed the crunchiness of a traditional crisp.

have some extra time to cook since heading into finals week at school so making beet pesto today which i've never done before. sounds weird but worth a try imo. tomorrow gonna make roasted leek and white bean gallette (from smitten kitchen blog) for vegan roommate's birthday

i made ceviche for the first time the other nigh, it was delicious! i grew up eating it a lot, my dad would usually make a shrimp or a squid ceviche, i used turbot for this one it was really good. i followed this recipe for the most part - https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2012/jan/13/martin-morales-ceviche-recipe-peru
― marcos, Monday, 22 May 2017 14:25 (seven years ago) link
last night i made crab rolls, like lobster rolls i guess, i kind of used a few diff recipes mashed together. had them with steamed jersey royal potatoes, a lot of butter was expended for this meal. i still have a little crab left over so i'm going to make a linguine tonight i think, it's very hot in london so maybe some wine too.
― Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Monday, 22 May 2017 15:40 (seven years ago) link
both of those things sound delicious. i am almost getting my mojo back!! I think it has a lot to do with mental space afforded to other things that require significant mental space. now that it's fruit & vegetable & grill season + i have a break from work, i am a little more inspired. i'd like to invite some people over to grill with me, that might make it slightly more exciting. like a sunday "grill yr stuff for the week" get together. idk if i have the logistical abilities to pull that together but it would be fun.
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Monday, 22 May 2017 15:44 (seven years ago) link
communal cooking is the best & definitely helps me get back into it. I have never cooked crab but I do love linguine so mb I should get on it. will mostly be salads, salsa verde, fish and such this week but off duty tonight while my gf cooks feijoada

making nigel slater warm potato salad for the first time this year. i need to make more things from this book and more things from cookbooks in general.
― assawoman bay (harbl), Tuesday, 23 May 2017 00:37 (seven years ago) link
got inspired by some pbs thing on Alice Waters last night, so making Chickpea and Farro Soup from one of her cookbooks. a couple herbs, garlic, celery, onion and orange zest, 3/4 of the chickpeas get pureed. sounds like a simple classic provençal sort of thing that is right up my alley.

can't believe I've never made this dish before, but I did cod with chorizo and lentils from this recipe: http://www.ramus.co.uk/recipes/pan-fried-cod-lentils-chorizo/
and it was way better than I expected. I put a chopped tomato in and left out the kale (had green beans on the side). It had a sweetness as well as savouriness.
― kinder, Saturday, 27 May 2017 20:35 (seven years ago) link
cod with salty pork things is a good combo.

I made this last night -- so simple, and SO goddamn good!!http://nomnompaleo.com/post/150016559668/cantonese-crispy-chicken-thighs
reminds me of the berebere spicy chicken thigh recipe that stevie d posted ages ago -- kind of the same principle, but not spicy but super flavorful.
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 28 May 2017 00:38 (seven years ago) link
gosh, I haven't made those berbere chicken thighs in years. sad! I'm actually v delighted that they've had staying power on this thread tho

baked a two layer caker for mr veg's birthday ... am now living my own Great Britsh Bake Off
- planned to do 1 good size cake & sandwich it- turned out more modest in height than anticipated- baked a quick second layer- made buttercream frosting- was v unappealing off-white so colored it yellow- now looks like actual butter lol- did my crumbcoat, all good - added jam filling, and whipped cream- added top layer, noticed whipped cream starting to break down slightly- o fuck the whipped cream prob wont hold- madly frosted the whole thing & spackled over the filling to lol contain it lololol- shoved it in the fridge, hope for the best- hopefully (vainly) that it isnt sitting in a pool of oozed cream tomorrow
hee hee all a bit of adrenalin & fun in the end i do enjoy baking, masochist that i am
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 26 June 2017 06:11 (seven years ago) link
damn you've put the work in there!
tonight i am going to cook a chicken leg and have some asparagus on the side. i bought a jar of romesco which is a bit of a cheat but whatever.
― Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Monday, 26 June 2017 11:28 (seven years ago) link
cake update:https://instagram.com/p/BV0RVSclEyL742png8BPEUUUNKGe8OCiNSt30Q0/
the frosting set nice & hard so my "spackling" method contained the filling :)
cream kinda disappeared/ soaked into the cake despite crumb-coat but there was plenty of jam
cake was ok but v dense...may have buggered up the method somewhere so i think i'll go back to classic sponge cake next time, i have more experience with those
overall yay!

My neighbor has gotten into gardening in a big way this year for the first time, and we got hit with a deluge of yellow squash last night. At least it's not zucchini. I'm having rice + furikake + sauteed squash + a fried egg on top for lunch, and will make a pureed squash soup for dinner.
― Mr. Crackpots (WilliamC), Wednesday, 28 June 2017 16:25 (seven years ago) link
i really like making a simple squash soup just by roasting it and then putting it in with stock, onion, garlic, ginger and coconut milk and then immersion blending. very easy light meal.
