What Have You Cooked Recently?

[Rickenbacker]

Just finished making this homemade apple dessert. Pretty simple just sliced some apples on some lightly buttered puff dough and apricot preserve as a glaze

 

[AnOminous]

That sounds killer and will probably seek it out the next time I plan to effort cook for myself. I've never had the chance to experiment with different kinds of paprika at work but have always heard the Hungarian stuff is in a completely different category than the mass produced McCormick's tier

Hungarian is pretty much the gold standard.

Seafood Sunday.

Store bought shrimp and some sauger I caught myself. Both fried in Cajun batter.

Just finished up a batch of fire roasted salsa. With adobo sauce in it for extra zip. Looks like a thick rust-colored mudhole hahaha. Delicious, and on the high end of the "medium heat" spectrum. Later today I'll complete my first batch of home made chicken strips. Going to use garlic, salt, pepper and lime to flavor the batter.

Learning to cook all the things I enjoy myself so I have no need for large chain stores or fast food!

What makes tomatoes "fire roasted"?

I've seen "fire roasted" tomatoes in a can before.

Do you buy the roasted tomatoes commercially?

Do you roast the tomatoes personally?

My only experience is using my oven's broiler to scorch the skins of red peppers black for scraping and roasted soup.

Which I suppose still lacks the "fire" element.

Entirely my bad. I forgot thumbnail is a thing.

You can use a broiler, but ideally you want to flame-broil the tomatoes. I use my barbecue to char the vegetables.

I avoid canned products these days. I'm learning to do every thing myself because fuck it. Why the hell not! I enjoy cooking and baking so I might as well do my own preserves/bread/etc.

I've been really lucky foraging seafood this week (thankfully since my hunting trip was a bust) so I made a big batch of clam chowder a few nights ago with some homemade bread. Now tonight it's clam linguine.
My sister in law also gave me a ton of fresh bay leaves so I'm drying some in my dehumidifier.

In the past week I've made:

-homemade tortilla chips
-oven baked chicken
-oven baked hot wings (I use this recipe, substituting buffalo sauce for the honey-sriracha sauce)

Bought some burgers at the store earlier, going to cook some over the next few days.

Making this at work for the b'ys tonight. The recipe itself doesn't have anything "jerk" related whatsoever, but what I do is also throw in a bottle of jerk marinade into the mix (making two roasts, so two bottles this time). The marinade and sauce blend their flavours wonderfully together when you do this. The tapioca is an odd choice as a thickener over my usual cornstarch slurry, but it doesn't overtly affect the flavour profile apart for adding an underlying sweetness.

Pan-fried chicken in olive oil with spices for fajita mean on the left. Pepper, chilli powder, salt, garlic, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper powder for the fajita meat.

Tenders were doused with a small amount of olive oil then rolled in a mixture of: flour, paprika, pepper, garlic powder, cayenne powder, onion powder, salt and some lime juice. Then cooked the tenders in the air fryer. Delicious, but I would not do the flour again. Gives a powdery texture to the chicken rather than the crunch I desire. Lesson learned! traditional breading next time.

I have enough spicy chicken to do me for months. Now to wait for it to cool so I can portion and freeze it.

Bone-in ham was half price so I carved one up and am throwing the bone in a slow cooker to dissolve into bone broth for supper tomorrow

I like to make pea soup with the bone. I also add carrots to the recipe below. I shave 1 large carrot. One can cut the carrot into chunks as well.

1 1/2 cup of green split peas.

1 large onion chopped.

4 cups water.

ham bone

ham cuttings

put all ingedients in cold water and bring to a boil. simmer for 2-3 hours.

I am making pea soup eventually, but I want to get the texture right. This way I can strain the broth , then add the peas and little ham chunks. I don't like it when shards of cartilage or bone is mixed in. It's being picky, but if you grew up on my mother's chicken soup you'll be like that too.

Take some of it out (how much is up to you) and blend it with an immersion blender or food processor and put it back in.

Not really cooking so much as assembling. Made a salad with lettuce, spinach, and cucumber. Added shredded chicken strips on top along with some grated parmesan and some Caesar dressing. It's been too warm to cook this week.

My girlfriend made me goulash. It was lovely.

Whelp, partner came home between classes and saw the bone brewing in the crock pot and thought it was supper, so threw supper's chicken in the freezer.
Supper's going to be late. Deal with it.
