I just made a spagetty and shared with my cat.

 

[Big Fish]

Chilli con carne, but with eggs.

Filet mignon topped with leftover chili oil from sichuan takeout.

Chilli con carne, but with eggs.

Whenever I make chili I use it as a base for shakshuka the next day. It's the best mashup in the world.

 

[cowboytakeshi]

Made a cottage pie with no cheese. Ground up chicken thighs and made it in the dutch oven. I realized I was out of worschestire sauce after I started cooking. I made my own and it passed, but I don't think it would work as well on beef or lamb. Regardless I'll be eating this for days with lots of sweet baby rays.

 

[Splinters RCVD ✞]

I made goulash a little while ago, with a twist on it.

(I used 1kg of pork, 1 smaller whole red onion, 1 whole white onion, 1 clove of garlic c. 8 medium-small potatoes and paprika, black pepper, ground ginger and salt for seasoning.)

1. Cut up the onions and the garlic.
2. Pour enough oil into a big pot to form a thin layer over all the bottom.
3. Put the stuff from step 1 in.
4. Sauté until the small pieces begin turning brown. Simultaneously, boil water in a smaller pot, enough to cover everything and make a soup.
5. Cut up the meat to small pieces, then put it on the sautéd onions and garlic; once in there, add seasoning.
6. Once the water in the small pot is boiling, pour it onto the stuff in the big pot.
7. Wait until the meat gets softer, then add potatoes.
(With pork it was c. 25 minutes.)
-Occasionally mix around to distribute flavors.
8. Wait for the potatoes to get soft. With the previous wait, both them and the meat will be nice
-More mixing, if you feel you want to do it.
9. Enjoy!

Pot Roast coated with demi glace, baby carrots with red onions seasoned with Italian herbs, and KFC Mashed Potatoes with gravy.

Wine is a Basalt Cellars 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon

I don't usually deep fry stuff, but I saw a video of a cook doing a historical fried chicken recipe and got the cravings. I marinated it for two hours on vinegar with lemon pepper, garlic, sage and rosemary and then spread flour on it for the breading. Without eggs as it was raining and I didn't have any eggs lol!

Worked out well! The trick is cutting down some thin slices and frying them just until they start browning, you get juicy, tasty slices this way and it's worth the hassle of seasoning each little slice individually. You can also eat the fried herbs, they are nice!

 

[Stasi]

Made a calzone with salami, mushrooms and mozzarella. I make a big batch of dough so have one now and 5 dough balls in the freezer for future eating. When the dough is done the actual prep is super easy, probably no more than 15 minutes so it's tasty and simple.

Tend to make calzones rather than pizza because I can't roll out a neat round pizza base to save my life, always comes out in a weird shape. If anyone has a pro tip for making a round pizza base lemme know.

I just made a batch of really good deep fried kermunkies

 

[MoffAlbert]

I finally made sweet and sour chicken the right way. I sucked it up and deep fried the chicken in a pot with about 1 inch of vegetable oil instead of frying and flipping in a shallow pan. It also helped that I added a little extra flour so that the batter was a little thicker. It came out almost like restaurant style sweet and sour chicken, but it was missing that 100 times overused oil flavor. We had it with just plain white rice and topped the chicken with Thai sweet chili sauce. I'll definitely be making it again.

 

[GeorgiaGuidestones]

I had leftover turkey from Thanksgiving that I froze. Pulled it out, shredded it and made Turkey chili with it. Turned out really tasty.

I also made deli tuna salad and threw in some dried cranberries, then I stuffed a tomato with the tuna mix. I wanted a low carb tuna melt but only had Swiss cheese in hand. I tried it anyway and it tasted better than I thought.

 

[Wisseau]

Made some pasta with butter, cream of mushroom soup, and heavy cream base. I then added in some squash and peas for some texture and flavor. It's pretty tasty and filling.

 

[comfysocks]

I bought a bunch of cornish game hens at Aldi's for 3.75 each, they were 22 ounces so I bought 5 of them. I bought a duck for 14.73. I'm going to make a ton of things with puff pastry for Christmas and I bought this silicone thing for making unicorn shaped chocolates.

Cooked up some moose burgers last night. Nephew shot a 700lb bull, and my payment for being spotter and helping process it was a bunch of steaks and burger. Mixed the ground meat with some olive oil, soy sauce, rosemary and garlic, and broiled the patties till medium. As with most game meat, it's really lean so you don't want to overcook.

I caramelized some white onion with a bit of Bourbon, and topped the burgers with that and some Swiss cheese on toasted sourdough buns. Made up some sweet potato fries as a side, and the dinner was a success. Two of my guests had never had moose before, they really liked it. The texture is very much like beef. The flavor is unique but very mellow and subtle. Not "gamey" or overpowering at all.

Scrambled eggs with green onions, cheese, pepper, garlic powder, oregano, horseradish, and bacon bits.

I dunno why but I imagine moose tastes very much the same as kangaroo. I was expecting kangaroo to be really gamey but it’s not at all. It’s got a little sweetness to it too. Ever tried it to compare?

Yes, I've had kangaroo. Moose has more of a nutty/savory flavor. The two times I've had kangaroo, I really liked it. Hard to come by in my part of the world.

Ah yeah nice one, thanks, nutty sounds really intriguing. I get kangaroo and camel burgers down borough market when I can be arsed to trip that end of London, I’ll def be keeping an eye out for moose from now on too. Your whole meal sounds proper lush, very jealous of that lifestyle dude

 

[Smaug's Smokey Hole]

Had a quarter bag of mushrooms left in the freezer. It's a mix of different mushrooms that I buy, it's cheap, chopped and surprisingly good. I poured the last of it into a frying pan, including the ice/snow in the bottom. Turns out that ice contains valuable mushroom juice. While that was heating up I diced two onions, then stirred in half a mushroom bullion cube into the liquid that was coming out of the shrooms. In with the diced onions, let it dry up a but it, then add butter and garlic so it can start frying. Some pepper, white and black. When the bullion is fully dissolved, taste, add salt, then black and white pepper. After a couple of minutes add heavy cream and let it cook. Taste as you go from there.

Served with linguine. It was honestly very nice and very simple.

 

[a terminal posture]

I decided to try my hand on the Cantonese classic dish 'white-cut chicken', which is barely a recipe (whole poached chicken with a ginger-scallion dipping sauce). Turned out well and the sauce is stupidly easy to make and can be used for all kinds of things.
