god damn. i'm up to my ears in recipes lately. mostly sauces and the like. mmm...demi glace.
heres a kick ass mushroom soup. A bit to heavy for the summer, but you can bust it out on the odd cold day:
60g Onion
120g Leeks
250g Mushroom
60g Butter
4 tbsp Flour
3 sprigs Sage
100 ml White Wine (make sure to drink the rest of the wine while cooking)
1 L Chicken Stock
250 ml Whipping Cream
1. Sweat leeaks, onions, sage and mushrooms in butter
2. Add flour and mix well
3. Add white wine, simmer to dissolve alcohol. Stir to remove lumps from flour
4. Add chicken stock, bring to simmer. Simmer 30 min.
5. Get rid of the sage sprigs that are floating around in there, puree the soup.
7. add the cream, heat it through, season to taste.
i have not cooked anything in a while, i have taken up the last couple monthes though making sushi, anyone got some weird combo of sushi they make or know of
like some sea urchin, quail egg, topped with diced white tuna
im a macrobiotic vegan, turned chicken/turkey eater, turned vegetarian, turned chicken eater once again.
i made chicken the other night, and it was so good and so simple that i impressed myself (which is rare).
it's a traditional hispanic islander recipe with a little twist....
u need:
chicken breast (i get the de-fatted kind)
adobo seasoning
finely chopped lemon rind (the peel) *cooking with the rind brings out the best part of the lemon flavor and adds a nice zing to the chicken*
oil (you can use any kind, i used vegetable)
1. in a plate or tupperware dish, combine the oil, adobo and lemon rind.
2. add the chicken and knead it all around in the marinade, so that it all gets covered.
~> you can let it sit over-night, or just cook immediately.
3. fry chicken in a pan, or put the breasts into the oven on a cooking sheet.
~> frying: cook until both sides are light brown, make sure to flip often so they don't burn. (if you like juicier chicken, u can stop frying once all the pink is gone)
~> baking: set the oven to about 350 and cook for about 10-15 minutes. be sure to check on the chicken every so often after the first 10 minutes so you don't overcook.
i usually serve with rice and beans. platanos or maduros are really good too.
platanos:
frying pan w/ vegetable oil
green plantains cut into 2 inch diagonal pieces.
1. fry plantain pieces till they turn light brown.
2. smash the plantains with a wood block or whatever you have handy that will flatten them.
3. fry them again.
4. add salt or adobo to flavor.
maduros:
frying pan w/ vegetable oil
super ripe, almost brown bananas (they turn out really sweet)
1. cut the bananas into pieces.
2. fry till they turn brown. (these ones will get a caramel looking color)

how i make pasta when im hungry and there's nothing to eat
- boil pasta
- strain when aldente
- before pots cools down (as fast as possible) put in a smidge of oil and throw the pasta back in it
-crack 2 eggs in and they should partcially cook
1 cup olive oil
half a bottle of tabasco(the small ones)
hand full of peperoncici and some of the water in the jar
shit loads of garlic at least 5 -8 tbsp
some pepper
marinate about 4 chicken breasts in that shit for 24-48hours and enjoy. thats how i do things.
PS
quick snack:
munster
avacado
bit o mayo
slap it on sourdough
mmmmmmmmmm
edit:the way my shit works is the tabasco cooks off and turns tangy, leaving you with a spicy but not too spicy and very tasty meal...thats gangster.
Originally posted by Rolln@Apr 29 2005, 07:53 PM I seem to remember ordering Cheese steak subs and fries with gravy every night, Whats up with the cooking...
"but i never get to visit here and we don't have any good sub shops out west so i like to eat shitty cheesesteaks when i'm getting drunk on the east coast"
If your out west Are2 I would love to have you over and cook. Lately I have been cooking tacos.
as follows,
frozen chicken breast boiled and diced and fried however you see fit. oil hot sauce and spices.
can of vegetarian refried beans mixed with hot sauce onion cheese and salsa.
onion tomato avacado and i need to start including cilantro, chopped up in a bowl.
take what you want and place a corn tortilla in the pan with enough hot oil to fry it and put ingredients in side and fold, fry till its done and use cold salsa cheese and hot sauce to top it when your ready to eat it.
this is great, i leave the board for a while and come back to see this thread on top again. lovin' it.
kick ass fake maguro maki:
take leftover tunafish salad mix, roll into sushi rice/nori with a little wasabi.
there are lots of things you can make that can be kind of like sushi, you know hold you over till the next time you have a whatever that guys name is on the hundred dollar bill in your wallet.
i love inari stuffed with shredded cooked carrots, rice, mirin, rice vinegar, sugar and soy.
speaking of grilling season, does anyone else like calimari? take some squid tops, clean it out, score it, cut into large but bite size pieces, marinate it breifly in 1 fish sauce and 2 coconut milk then serve it with a blend of shallots, cilantro, thai chile, sugar, fish sauce and lime juice.
another thing that is grill worthy is whole chickens, what i've been doing lately, and copy this, is poaching the chicken in onion, garlic, ginger, dry asian aromatics like star anise, peppercorns, fennel seed, cassia (cinnamon), soy sauce, sherry, water until done but not falling apart, a small chicken will take like 5 -10 minutes then let sit with broth off for about 25-30, remove and baste with favorite chinese bar-b-q sauce thinned out with a bit of broth over higher heat until skin is well crisped, serve with white long grain rice, and veggies, lots of veggies.
bon appetit, tsa chien, happy cooking, ciao, and all that
and ive been off and on 12oz, mostly lurking, im outta the whole whole game but is symbols=dirty habit??
lol.
