What Have You Cooked Recently?

Got around to buying some silver so I figured I'd fix up the most jewish thing in my fridge. They may be the synagogue of satan but lox and bagels are delicious. Especially if you toast the bagels just a little bit so the cream cheese melts slightly and the bagels have a slight crunch but not enough heat to heat up the lox.
 
I haven't got a steak right on the stovetop in ages. The meme reverse sear thing works perfectly every time. I like it better just on the stovetop though. I always shoot for medium-rare. This time I got rare. But it was fine. Really, I consider anything between rare and medium a hit.
For me it's autistically knowing the stove and pan. I cut my own meat so I know the thickness and that in my hot skillet it's 2 minutes 45 seconds on the first side and 3:15 on the other.

Anyone that wants to cheat and appear to have a seared steak, put paprika powder on both sides. It tastes like nothing but burns easily, it won't have the crispness of the fat but it looks about right.
Fucking around with ovens and meat thermometers means you're a retard who can't cook, real men always cook their steaks on the stovetop.
I knew an Egyptian that showed how to make baba ganoush without a pan, just right on the stovetop. Cut off the top of an eggplant laying down, put on stove, stirred the insides while shaking it like a pan with a fork to mix up the insides while adding the flavors. Bottom of the eggplant was ashy as was the stovetop but it was super easy to clean up. Pretty neat.


Being lazy I've made fish and chips of some kind, battered cod with some french fries, both done in a frying pan. Pretty good, been thinking of trying a tempura version of it.

You are a true man.

Paprika gets a bum rap. Smoked Hungarian paprika is the shit. Try some of that and then tell me paprika has no flavor.

That's like saying spiderwebs tastes like dust but the smoked ones have flavor because flavor was added to it. Smoked paprika powder still burns though so a fake sear is still possible.

Paprika has a definite flavor, it's just not particularly pronounced. You just may not have a taste for subtlety.
 
Mujaddara. Not the prettiest but so savory and soul comforting 🥺 PXL_20210829_023827601.jpg
 
I am interested in your tater recipe. Please share.

It's pretty easy man, just prep the hassleback spuds, season with smoked seasalt, you can make a slurry with chiplotle peppers in a jar or use chipotle powder and oil/duck fat.

Flat side down and give them a swirl/rock the baking dish back every 20 mins to get the oil inside the slits.

This shit is the bomb.

Don't think it counts as "cooking", but I made flan. Boxed flan.
Going through my cupboards I found at some point I bought 15 boxes of flan on sale, each box is 4 packets, 1 packet makes 5 ramekins of flan. I have 300 servings of flan.
I guess there's worse problems in the world to have than too much flan...
Anyway, I added some nutmeg and Disarono to the flan, and a splash of sherry to the caramel. Delicious. Next batch I'll try with some Kamora coffee liqueur that's been gathering dust that i only have for that 1 time I made tiramisu.
