Got Any Good Recipes?

[RC_Kenshi]

It's lunch time, and I'm kind of hungry. Anyone have any good recipes? Post 'em up here.

I'll start. This one I got from a fountain pen board I sometimes visit.

Lex's Chile Verde

3 lb Pork Shoulder or Butt
1 Yellow Onion, Large
2 lb Tomatillos
5 clove Garlic
2 each Jalapenos, Large
2 each Serranos, Large
2 each Anaheims
Olive Oil
Garlic Salt
Pepper

Spray Baking Pan with vegetable spray (Pam).

Husk Tomatillos, rinse, cut in half, place cut side down on baking pan.

Cut Peppers in half, place cut side down on baking pan (I don't seed or devein them).

Broil these until blackened a bit, set aside to cool.

Cube pork into (1/2" to 3/4"). Brown pork in olive oil. Do not brown too much (or create too much fond), or the sauce will be brown not green. Drain fat. Season with garlic salt and pepper. Cut up onion, brown with pork.

Take pan of vegetables, place in container and puree using a stick (imersion) blender (or puree using standard blender).

Pour green mass into browned meat and add water (rinse the bowl used to puress vegetables). Simmer until it gets thicker, 3 hours or so, on low heat.

Serve with tortillas, rice, etc. Make tacos, burritos, tostadas, enchiladas, tortas, etc.

If it's not hot enough, next time add more peppers. If it's too hot, next time seed and devein the peppers and/or use fewer of them.

TamagoYaki

Fun to eat and fun to make!

1. 3 Eggs
2. Tablespoon Shoyu
3. Tablespoon Hon-Dashi (Bonito Stock)
4. 1/10th cup Sugar
5. Bamboo cooking mat.

Whip the eggs into a froth.
Add Shoyu, Hon-dashi and sugar, and mix with eggs well.

Preheat stove using a square fry pan, and use oil of choice.
Pan should be hot, then reduce heat once eggs are added.

When ready, pour a thin coat of eggs into the pan.
When the eggs solidify, choose a corner and start to roll them up, like a crepe.
When you reach the end, lift your roll up, pour a bit of liquid egg underneath, and make another thin coat of egg in the opposite direction.
Then, take the side with your big roll and start rolling the opposite way; like rolling up a carpet, getting bigger and bigger.
Repeat process until liquid eggs are gone.
Then, place on bamboo mat and roll up like a burrito, but don't squeeze too tightly!
After the Tamagoyaki has cooled a bit, place the Tamagoyaki inside the rolled up bamboo matt inside the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
Take out of fridge, and Enjoy!

Should look like this:

Actually, hopefully yours will look better than that.

OK, now I'm really hungry. Must resist temptation to make another trip to the side of the office where people have set out all those Christmas goodies.

You should gather all of the Christmas stuff up in your office and toss it down the chute.
That'll teach those lazy slackers to make merry on company time!

That's a good idea. Hold on I'll just go over there, gather up all this junk and throw it all . . .

Aw, Don't feel bad...think of it this way:
With all the butter-fudge, Milk chocolate, Cakes, Donuts, Cookies, assorted salted-crud and Deep-fried doo-dads that your co-workers have lugged into your office, they be should be joining you quite directly any time now.

i have my ghetto dorm steamed fish recepie

- find some way of steaming things.
-fish (whatever kind you like, certain ones are better than others for this obviously)
-salt
-pepper
-garlic
-lup cheong
-green onion
-regular round onion
-beer

Basically just salt the fish, cut slits in it, put some pepper and a ton of garlic on it, slice up lup cheong and put that stuff in the slits, toss a bunch of green onion and what not on top, (this is all in some sort of container) add beer and steam until delicious.

[Maradiondo]

A quick and truly superb "Bocata"

Prosciuto
french bread
Olive Oil
Tomato

Slice the french bread (or chapata bread) in half and lightly toast it. Once it is toasted take a nice firm tomato and cut it in half like an orange. Now here is the secret. Do not slice the tomato and add it to the bread, instead squeze the tomato like and orange into the bread and spread the juices. It's like rubbing the bread with the tomato.
Then put a few slices of Prosciutto or "jamon Serrano" in the bottom half of the bread loaf and pour virgin olive oil on the top portion of the bread. bring both halfs together and .............pure heavenly delight.....

enjoy

I've posted this before but it bears repeating:

Eggnog in quantity (from an old Joy of Cooking)

Seperate 12 eggs. Place the whites aside in the fridge in a glass bowl.

Beat the yolks until they turn a light yellow. Slowly beat in 1 lb of icing sugar. Now gradually mix in 2 cups of dark rum.

Set aside for one hour to dispel the egginess.

Now beat in slowly 2 quarts of whipping cream. Mix in 2 more cups of rum (you can add as much as 2 more if you like it really stiff). Cover and leave in the fridge for at least 3 hours.

Beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Remove the yolk/sugar/rum/cream mix from the fridge and give it another quick mix, then fold in the whites.

Serve with nutmeg sprinkled on top. This recipe kicks the ass of any store-bought eggnog you've ever tried. Also, if there are leftovers it is just as tasty the next day - be sure to keep it refrigerated, just keeping portions out in the nog bowl for people to dip into.

[Paikea]

Edited for relevant bits...


Now gradually mix in 2 cups of dark rum.

OK, that's a starter.


Mix in 2 more cups of rum (you can add as much as 2 more if you like it really stiff). Ah, there we go...the Joy of Cooking. Smells like Christmas, kicks like mule.

Goes great with this (http://www.slashfood.com/2007/09/20/make-your-daikon-kimchi/).


A note about Kim-chee in general.
It smells up the house worse than six-year old Bogu.
But pretty damn delicious.

You been eating refried Poi again?
:D

[Django]

Here's a simple thing that takes about 5 minutes to make. My sister and I just randomly threw this together one day. Not really a recipe, just a little snack thing...

What we do, is we take crackers (usually we use those lightly salted square crackers. Can't remember what brand we use) we squirt a little ketchup and sprinkle a little shredded mozzarella on top. Then we pop it into the microwave. Time can range from around 15 seconds to 30 depending on how much cheese we put on. You can also use tomato sauce. But we use ketchup because we have so much left over from McDonald visits thanks to our dad.

It pretty much makes a good afternoon snack or one to share with friends...

[Maku-san]

No, Kenzan-kun... it's the takuan that gets to me. :(

I might pass on the kim-chee..dont know why but I dont see the two going together. ;)

I'll be classic and add some cilantro etc.

The first time I ever went to the Big Island I went to this little burrito-shack-like establishment in Hilo someone had recommended to me and my wife and I ordered their traditional lunch plate. In addition to other insundries I don't remember, it contained the unappetizing-looking purple mush known as poi.

It was indeed as disgusting to eat as it was to look at; and the next two times we went back to the Big Island, we didn't eat a single meal in Hilo.

[Kenzan]

Washoku. (http://www.ariake.co.nz/what%27s_washoku.htm)

While Tamagoyaki is really great any time, it's super tasty for breakfast!

Rice, Shishamo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shishamo), tsukemono (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsukemono), (I like various Kim-Chee) Misoshiro (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miso_soup)...hopefully clam or crab flavored, YUM!
and of course..
Mwhahaha..
Natto! (http://www.gaia21.net/natto/natto.htm) (with a raw egg!..)

It's not just a meal,
It's a deliciously stinky adventure!
:D

Ok...Ok..so now that I've thoroughly grossed you out, here's another recipe:

Kenzan's Seriously killer salad dressing......which I TOTALLY ripped off from Daikoku Ramen in L.A. :D

1. One quarter of one large red onion
2. 1 half of a small carrot
3. 1 small clove of garlic
4. 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
5. pinch of sea salt
6. 1 tablespoon of sea salt.
7. I tablespoon of Masago (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masago). (optional)

Puree' the onion, the garlic and carrot until it has the consistency of baby food.
Fold in the mayonnaise, salt, and Masago.

Spoon over shredded cabbage or regular salad, and your mouth will be very happy.

Best served with meat.

Or fried Kittens...I forget which...

:)

[Paikea]

... it contained the unappetizing-looking purple mush known as poi.Sigh. Unfortunately, this is the mark of a barbarian. Forget the restaurant, keep the panko-encrusted Australian lobster tails, the white wine and the fancy tablecloth and give me an evening in a friends backyard with the poi, the lomi lomi and a pig in the imu every time.

...and a six-pack or two, of course.

[Paikea]

I'd be flat on my ay-ess-ess after drinkin' that, Neil-sensei!!!:ko::ko::ko:I'm thinking that's the point. It makes more sense when it's 15 degrees outside, like Portland today.

I mean, the damn snow squeeks.

[Paikea]

I like various Kim-Chee
New market near us has an entire wall full of kimchee. Glorious. Almost as good as zanahoria (Mexican marinated carrots and jalapenos).


Natto! (http://www.gaia21.net/natto/natto.htm) (with a raw egg!..)

It's not just a meal,
It's a deliciously stinky adventure!
:D
No. Hell, no. You can't make me. I'd rather take the waterboarding.

[Kenzan]

I mean, the damn snow squeeks.

It rained in L.A. yesterday.

We collectively looked up at the sky quizzically, wondering what is this water which is falling from the sky?
Oh..The cars spinning in circles around on the freeway, the drownings on the curbside, the ruined hairdoos and shorted-out Ipods!!

It was horrible, I tell you!

Oh the humanity!

And to make matters worse, they..they say that the temperature will drop to a death-dealing 53 degrees!
If I cease to report back, it means my Double-Green Tea Chai Latte has become..GASP! .....

Dare I say it....Luke-warm.

When I was in California I remember there was one day when the temperature at night dropped below freezing and it even snowed briefly (it didn't stick though). A whole bunch of bums died.
I also remember that when it rained (I think that happened maybe 3 times) there was an obscene ammonut of traffic accidents... more than usual! Funny you'd think with all the driving you do down there you'd be hell of a lot better at it, but it's quite the opposite.

Rice cooker cornbread:
For those living in Asian countries sans ovens. Take a normal cornbread recipe made from cornmeal but use a little less oil and milk. Mix it up and pop it in the rice cooker and let it run 3 or 4 cycles (depends on your cooker). It comes out perfect, the only difference is it doesn't rise like it does in an oven so one normal slice is super heavy and fills you up.

[Kenzan]

Not that they aren't bad drivers, but I think, because it rains so infrequently, when it does rain, all the built-up oils on the roads mix with the water and make it really slippery.

On topic, I'm making Black Cake (http://www.trinigourmet.com/index.php/trinidad-black-cake/) this weekend. Any cake with two bottles of liquor in it, then soaked with another bottle, is alright with me. I've got the fruits soaking right now - it's all I can do to not eat them. They smell like rum-raisin ice cream X10.

I have lived half my adult life in Los Angeles and the other half on the east coast; mostly in Boston. In my opinion, California drivers may be more aggresive and less able to deal with inclement weather, but they are, far and away, superior to drivers in Boston. It's not even close. I could write a book about the ways in which people are sucky drivers around here.

Btw, that cake looks insane, thanks.

I'm going to try and make it.

That's true, but I wouldn't go as far to say superior. Bostonians definitely give the fruit-cakes a run for their money though. In my experience I found it dangerous to be a motorist in LA but dangerous to be a pedestrian in Boston.

[Kenzan]

You are from Osaka.
I took my dear life into my hands even just walking on the sidewalk.

Are you well?

Oh? We are talking about Asia now? Well there is no denying driver in Osaka and Japan in general are terrible. I have to say that Koreans have them beat though. Have you ever seen "The Road Warriors"?

[rckenshi]

. . . dangerous to be a pedestrian in Boston.

Used to work for a company with HQ in Wakefield. My understanding is that, upon seeing a pedestrian, Boston drivers feel it is their obligation to scare them back onto the sidewalk.

[Hank]

Used to work for a company with HQ in Wakefield. My understanding is that, upon seeing a pedestrian, Boston drivers feel it is their obligation to scare them back onto the sidewalk.I think there's an unspoken game in Boston that involves causing an accident while remaining untouched. Yeah, Boston drivers are assholes. For two years now (after 18 years) I've been trying to drive like a normal human, and I've pretty much succeeded. But, really, I haven't noticed much difference between Boston driving and driving in other big cities. I haven't driven in the Midwest, though. I hear that's pretty sweet.

[Neil Gendzwill]

I'm thinking that's the point. It makes more sense when it's 15 degrees outside, like Portland today.

I mean, the damn snow squeeks.You're breaking my heart. It warmed up to -5 F yesterday.

[jjcruiser]

But, really, I haven't noticed much difference between Boston driving and driving in other big cities. I haven't driven in the Midwest, though. I hear that's pretty sweet.

Only a partial list -- Bostonians:

take lefts from right hand lanes and right turns from left hand lanes

slow down for stop signs but do not stop

stop for yields, especially when needing to merge onto a highway, inversely proportional to how fast the highway drivers are going

don't let drivers pull in front of them when there is a need and to be courteous

but conversely, will stop in the middle of a 45-mph major roadway for a driver to pull out of a dunkin donuts, even when the road is mostly clear behind them

I have lived in Los Angeles, Virginia, Maryland (DC), Ohio, and Boston. They don't do any of these things anywhere but Boston.

(And yes, drivers and people are nicer in the Midwest).

[Paikea]

You're breaking my heart. It warmed up to -5 F yesterday.Yeah, we're boxing it up and shipping it back north today. Thanks for sharing!
