What Have You Cooked Recently?

[melty]

I like to add chopped green onions/scallions to anything they might go with for that green pop. I made some BBQ chicken thighs yesterday, with butternut squash risotto on the side and adding scallions on top of the chicken thighs really made the meal look great, and added some great flavor, too. I used Stubb's "Sweet Heat" bbq sauce for the thighs and really liked it. What kind of barbeque sauce do you guys like?

IMO chicken thighs are the best part of the chicken (besides perhaps wings) and very underrated. I buy big bags of Kroger frozen thighs and use them to make a bunch of different chicken dishes. They make really good chicken tenders too, just cut them up and bread them a little.

Yesterday I also tried making pickled jalapenos and rhubarb jam. Since I never made pickled anything, I followed the recipes instructions for salt, but I feel they came out way too salty. Not sure if that is for taste or preservation, but I don't think they will last long enough to need extra preservation.
The rhubarb jam, I'm not sure it's really "jam" consistency as much as it's just sticky sugared rhubarb, but it's still really tasty.

Boneless skinless thighs are the slow cooker’s MVP.

This is what I make when I am 8 ish beer into the day and absolutely could not give a fuck what I consume as long as it is crunchy and salty with a somewhat moist center, Pretty much the quintessence of western tastes tbh fam.

edit: fyi that is Bulldog Katsu Sauce. You hate me cuz you ain't me.

You are correct. Just throwing some chicken thighs in a slow cooker or( if you want that sheeeit naow) an instantpot with your just enough of your favorite salsa to just barely cover the meat will yield excellent taco or burrito meat. Just let it soak up the extra juices for about 15 minutes before serving and you got fucking heaven on the lowest form of an accompanying starch(muh tortilla bruh) a person could ask for.

Before the pandemic I was an assistant chef so I've tried to fill that absence by cooking for my household and dropping stuff off to my family a few times a week. The special today was hot hamburgers with habanero cheese and grated zucchini with a side of seasoned roasted parsnips, carrots, lima beans and peppers.

I was starving and there was nothing to eat besides cup-of-noodles.

I was surprised by how good it tasted in the first few bites but before I could finish it started to taste disgusting to me.

This is a simple no-knead bread with lots of grated cheddar cheese in it.

Like a red-blooded American, made ribs with all the fixings.

I do bread a lot too. I often end up with some lighter brown patches near the center of my bigger loaves. What do you think causes that? I want my bread golden brown but I don't want to over cook muh gluten. You think a light eggwash would do the trick?

I don't really have that so I haven't tried to get rid of it but that's the kind of thing that can't hurt, I suppose. It gives it a pretzely look.

I finally found some yeast in the Mexican market, so I made some very basic but tasty bread. I put a bit of rosemary in it, it’s not too strong but you can taste it.
There is not much better than the smell of freshly baked bread, and I'm happy with how this came out.
Just sprinkle a little bit of salt, pepper, and olive oil on it and you’ve got yourself something special.

One of the kids has braces and he had to have them tightened and anyone who's had them knows that shit hurts the first day or two. I had some chicken breasts, tig ol bitties, in the freezer so I used two along with celery, carrot, onion and garlic to boil up a broth. Took the chicken out and shredded it, added it back, and I know this is a cardinal sin, but I had no time to be making dumplings, so I took some Pillsbury crescent rolls, cut them up into it. It made a decent replacement. I wouldn't do it unless I'm in a pinch, but it worked. I added thyme and sage to the broth, salt and pepper, obviously and a touch of curry powder. It was lovely and the poor kid could eat.

Homemade meatballs, broiled for a slight crust ( beef, egg, onions, fresh italian parsely, breadcrumbs w/ milk, garlic + seasonings). Put em on top of spaghetti with a side of baked zucchini slices with spices and parmesean.

Made these several times recently and they are a hit with everyone I've shared them with. Will NEVER buy those shitty frozen things again.(I actually stopped awhile back cuz they just sucked)

a couple of Indian recipes, dum gosht (slow-cooked beef) and malai wali murghi (usually translated as 'chicken with cream')
both bloody lovely and can be made from stuff readily available in western supermarkets

 

[Orion Balls]

Going easy, tonight. Blue Ribbon Chicken (sub thighs for the cutlet) with spinach and chard (premix) and bacon. Have a great night, all!

 

[Adamska]

My own take at a chicken noodle soup/ramen. It's bootleg as fuck, but I spiced the broth with a southwest style seasoning mix of my own creation. Slight spice and a flavor permeation throughout. No ramen packets needed, since that would've made all taste of salt.

 

[XYZpdq]

had some not-bad but less-good chicken salad, a footlong's worth of leftover cuban-ish bread from local hispanic joint
bread, then layers of
horseradish
cheddar cheese shred
mild jarred pepper rings
chicken salad with sirracha mixed in
in the oven at 350 for a bit, then extra time with more cheese on top

quite good

Today I made a Honey Soy Chicken Bake with white rice and sauteed/stir-fried vegetables.

 

[JasonMetloney]

Today, I made a boiling pot of pasta. And then I dropped it on accident and spilled boiling water on my feet. I have no friends.

Soon I will use the last of the sesame seeds I bought the Christmas 2 years before the most recent one. It was a special offer 1 kilogram for ~$2.50, who can resist that?
