cooking

[_33]

Picked up some sashimi grade tuna at a local fish market. Seared with just salt and black pepper. Mushrooms, garlic and red onion cooked in white wine on the side. The fish is fantastic.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who enjoys raw tuna.  A lot of times I'll eat mine straight out of the can without even heating it up.  Will try searing with salt and pepper sometime.

[pissclams]

canned tuna?  LOL. if you haven't switched to the bagged kind then you're missing out.

[Mrs. Gooch]

Canned tuna isn't raw.

Thats why i was dubious about the new gift.  The ceramic pot evenly heats the beans, so when placed in the oven you can keep it up pretty high (allowing you to create that crust on top) without burning the beans...  its like a less durable, smaller, cheaper, enameled dutch oven.

Overall i'd give it a B- as a kitchen utility.  Its nice to have, novel, and theres probably quite a few dishes it can make really well (Mine's too big for the microwave, but if you have a huge microwave there are recipes for making tons of crazy stuff in it, like a meatloaf or lasagna) but the fact is when set next to my slow cooker, dutch oven, and pressure cooker one of those 3 is going to be better than the bean pot at whatever category you're trying to measure.  The slow-cooker is more hands off, the preassure cooker is faster, and the dutch oven can be used on the stove top/higher heats.

So this was easy, and tasty... Clay pot chicken in the oven tonight. Hour and a half, 20 minutes with the lid off for crispy skin. Nice impromptu meal. Does this even count as cooking?

"honey, why is that new plant I got potted in an old ice cream bucket?"

No drippings?

if you want a really easy roast chicken recipe that tastes great, google thomas keller's.  it takes some brining but is pud to cook.

[CNS]

1 whole chicken
Seasoned salt all over
Seasoned pepper all over
Stuff with 2 bayleaves, 1 chopped shallot, and one stlk of cellery.
Put it in a iron skillet
Put two more bayleaves, two more chopped shallots, and one more chopped stalk of cellery around the chicken in the skillet
Put about 1/8" of white wine in the bottom and a similar amt of chicken stock.
Bake at 375° until 160° at the thickest portion of breast.

Pull bird and set aside.  Add a cup or so of more wine and a cup or so of additional stock.  Boil on high for a few min, use slotted spoon to pull veg out.  Keep boiling until it thickly coats a spoon. 

Drizzle sauce over chicken.

It's great.

Gonna give that a try some time. Thanks, CNS.

mole sauce?

[The Big Train]

I'm planning on making chicken en mole this week!

[Cire]

mole is one of those things that is hard for me to eat because it looks like bbq sauce and is served kind of the same way bbq sauce would be but it doesn't taste anything like bbq sauce.

[The Big Train]

Yeah it tastes like a million times better

[pissclams]

My taste palette extends to all foods and good Mexican food is > than BBQ any day of the week hands down.  DGAF if you think otherwise because you would be wrong
