Cooking a Good Everything Else
Thought I'd take El D's advice and create another thread for cooking discussion, as steak is wonderful, but pork, meatballs, chicken, pasta, sausage, greens, and charcuterie deserve love too.
Also an appropriate place to discuss cooking equipment from knives to boards to ranges to sous vide setups, smokers, etc.
I'll get it started with a few pics of some of my current favorite dishes including:
Fennel Braised Baby Back Ribs
These things are amazing, and EASY. Absolutely delicious, easy to make in quantity, and a crowd pleaser for sure. I make em at almost every bbq (though the great thing is that you can do them indoors during the colder months)
Pork, Panchetta, Veal Meatballs
These are not a fan favorite, but only because when I make them, I horde them and eat them for a week straight. They're a bit time consuming, but once you have em, you're set for a few days.
Orecchiette with Fennel Sausage
This is a new favorite dish and I don't really even know where to begin describing how amazing the texture contrast between the breadcrumbs, semolina pasta, and sausage is, or how this dish singlehandedly sold me on the value of fennel pollen. It takes some time, but the steps are pretty simple.
My Masamato Gyuto
I love this knife, and while it's a bit pricy for your average housewife, it's a steal by japanese steel standards, and you'll walk away with a whole new definition of sharp from the moment you remove it from the box.
Just some random stuff to get this thread started. I know others have been chastised for posting pork in the steak thread, and the BBQ thread doesn't get much love, so get in here and post about food!!!
This is such a good tip. The layout is the best I’ve seen for cooking. Thanks for the heads up Yim.
found a cool tip so when you find a good recipe online, you can skip past the writers life story, etc and get right to the recipe, put "Cooked.wiki/" in front of the http and it will convert to a recipe only and you can even change quantities.
Here's the link to the instagram post https://www.instagram.com/reel/C3RVp-ZyA...
Is there a way to get instagram videos to play here like we can with Y
You can click the step & it will highlight the ingredients needed for that step. Very clean look.
Bacon, zucchini

This looks awesome. Definitely trying the sauce recipe he mentioned for scallops.
Charcuterie
Kenji spring salad is great. I used Greek yogurt as I couldn’t find labne. Also omitted fava beans.
In-season asparagus too, looks outstanding.
Unsurprisingly, making your own Korean-style BBQ sauce (gojuchang, ginger, garlic, perilla oil, mirin, brown sugar, fish sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, neutral oil) is worth the time if you are cooking ribs.
Speaking of gojuchang, did a simple version of Andy Cooks mac & cheese with gojuchang and mustard and it was great. I find a lot of homemade M&C's lack flavour, and this one was actually just about perfect.

The first time I looked for labne I could not find it. A very similar (maybe the same) thing that I did find in a Persian market was 'pressed yoghurt'. It worked great in the dish I was making.
Question. I've been mashing up avocado and adding chicken of the sea brand salmon. It makes for an elite and healthy meal. What else can I add to the mix to make it taste great?
Cholula. Maybe Chipotle Cholula. Maybe green chilis. Pick one.
valentina black
or better tinned chicken

Hot sauce as suggested above, mustard, lots of herbs, celery, choppped cucumbers, pickles, mayonnaise if it fits your macros, everything bagel seasoning,
Bought Furikake and have been adding it to my rice and my life is better now.
Might sound odd, but I've been making sweet hummus, as chickpeas are cheap and nutritious and I've just been given a mini food processor.
Very good results. My favourite has been:
half tin drained chickpeas
half a banana
small scoop vanilla protein powder
yoghurt to get the consistency you want
Sweet hummus does not sound appealing to me, but glad you’re out there enjoying yourself.
yeah, happy to taste it not so willing to make it
suppose supper last night could be considered cooking
fiftyfifty blend between eightytwenty beef and ground pork
formed to about a third pound patty
salt pepper garlic powder woosty shallot
after the first flip
spouse immediately arranges sharp tillamook in her pattented corner pattern
burner off lid it and check in to shift the onion every now and again
catch up later with mayo and colemans mustard on the underbun
also probably forgot to mention tots
money shot
I love how you cheese!
Outstanding burger work right there
Yeah, great looking burgs Red [emoji106]
