What Have You Cooked Recently?

[Rakdos92]

Alright! I visited my family, and since I'm the cook of them, I've decided to stew a pork roast for them. But not just any pork roast! Nah, this pork roast is all fancy like, with fresh spices and vegetables on the side. I stuffed the meat with a spice-mixture of rosemary, sage, fennel-seeds, and garlic. I stewed everything in the oven for 90 minutes, added vegetable broth and vegetables over time, and this is the result:

I also used the stock to make the sauce to the right:

Unfortunately it wasn't as thick as I hoped, but it tasted well enough. Finally, my mother helped with her own oven-baked potato-slices, spiced with salt, pepper, and bell pepper powder:

Overall, it wasn't bad. But the meat was still a bit tough, which I blame on the lack of a lid for the pan in which I stewed the roast. The sauce could've been a bit thicker. The sage is a bit harsh for people who hasn't tasted it before (and I will try to find a milder replacement for it). Other than that, it was pretty good.

Chilli BBQ Chicken
Garlic chicken

I fabricated the chickens for the last 2 and my god the cracking of bones sounded so good. The roast is seasoned w only salt, pepper and an orange shoved into the cavity

More green curry. This time with fresh green beans and chicken thigh. Used more paste this time, and stirred in the rice noodles.
In retrospect I wonder if I should use two cans of coconut milk. The noodles were good, but definitely lacking in creaminess.

Egg Roll in a Bowl

2 1 lb packages of sausage
2 bags cole slaw (or 1 small shredded cabbage with carrot shreds)
1 onion sliced thin
1./2 cup chopped green onions
6 cloves garlic mixed
2 tablespoons minced ginger
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil

(1) combine garlic, ginger and soy sauce to form the sauce. set aside.
(2) heat skillet to medium heat, cook and crumble sausage, do not drain.
(3) when sausage is done add the shredded cabbage/onion mix and sauce mix
(4) cook until cabbage is to your desired tenderness.
(5) remove from heat. add green onions and drizzle with sesame oil.

For meal prep purposes, this generally makes about 5 food units for me. If making concurrently with other food units I will freeze 3 portions to eat later in the week. When doing meal prep I like to make two different meals back to back and freeze half of each. That way I'm not eating the same food every meal for days.

With the panic buying long over, I can make TorBo pasta again.

(it's just normal spaghetti with sauce but with elbow noodles)

Monster cereal bars I took the three I managed to buy and mixed em up with marshmallows and butter the ole reliable recipe for Rice Krispie treats only with count chocula franken Berry and boo berry cereal topped with candy corn and candy pumpkins they're cooling in the fridge now

 

[Crankenstein]

I made egg "muffins" with spinach, green onions, and turkey bacon bits.

 

[deadson]

Last really good home meal that I made was sweet bbq pork tacos (super fucking delish too). Marinade works great for pork ribs as well!

Tacos;
Pulled pork cooked with marinade (1 part each of brown sugar, soy sauce and liquid smoke)
Arugula greens or romain leaves
Tomatilo pico
Cilantro and lime sour cream
White cheddar or jack cheese
Flour tortillas (grilled)

reminds me. There;s a breakfast sandwich I like to make. This is my Saturday morning cheat breakfast.

2 steak umms
1 egg over medium
2slice amreican cheese
2 pieces bread
Butter

Cook steak umms and egg in cast iron pan over medium heat.
heat a seperate, clean pan to medium low heat
place two pieces of buttered bread in pan
assemble sandwich, cheese, steak umm, egg.
toast both sides over medium low heat.

The slightly runny ness of the over medium egg and butteryness of the bread helps make the american cheese and steak um taste like actual normal food instead of what they are.

A variant of this for those who like something with more bread is to use a bagel and add caramelized onions. Also good. To make it even more unhealthy add a hash brown patty to the sandwich.

Have. A pic of those cereal bars I mentioned

The franken Berry cane out the worst, way too oily so the marshmallow won't hold together and it fell apart in my hands. The count chocula came out the best and most like a premade cereal bar thought they all share the problem of too much marshmello and sugar. I was through the first two by the time I got to the chocolate one and I couldn't finish it without going into insulin shock

Chicken cut into its basics

 

[KooksandFreaks]

We need some decent bread in America. Tender and light.

 

[Syikeblade]

Marinaded some chicken tenders in garlic, pepper, parsley, onion, lemon juice and yogurt. And added some roasted peppers tiziki sauce and a bean mix from Aldi's.

I made a pork and chili stew with squash and it was super tasty, very fatty though because I was dumb and forgot to trim the excess fat off of the pork butt. I won't forget to do that next time. It was still very good and my family loved it. I also found a cornmeal muffin recipe from my grandma which I tried out tonight, it had a very nice texture. They were very moist because they have yogurt added into the batter.

 

[FearsReality]

made a cheeseburger with a fried egg on it

 

[MoffAlbert]

Made chili last night. Made it with ground beef, pinto beans, garlic powder, onion powder, and some tomato sauce. I had eaten lunch a few hours earlier, so I only had one bowl. Tonight, as a result, is chili cheese dogs.

What kind of squash?

What kind of squash?

Kabocha and delicata! I don't eat squash very often since I never know what to do with it but this turned out really well.

 

[Mr. Skeltal]

They're amazing in a tomato sauce, I always recommend a little bit of them because they are nice little umami bombs.

Another fun little glutamate carrier I've found for tomato sauces is fish sauce. Any variety will work but colatura di alici (Italian) is what I've used in lieu of the anchovies I used to use to amp up my meat sauces.
It smells like fish in the bottle but that flavor is quickly lost among things like tomato, basil, onion, fennel, and oregano. Just be sparing with it, too much and you will taste the fish in spite of the other flavors.

As for recent dishes, I made a stuffed pork roast with cornbread and green beans last night. It turned out pretty good, had to use the old Stove Top stuffing anyway.
The Mrs. also humored me and we got a 16L stockpot recently. I now have two gallons of chicken stock sitting in my fridge and freezer. This is after I made a chicken and gnocci soup when I ran out of containers to store my liquid gold.
