Will look into it I’ve been impressed AF with my air fryer lid for Instantpot after I bought a bigger cast iron basket so sousvide is my next test purchase.

Buy a Sous Vide machine, a food saver, and whole beef tenderloin. You'll have a minimum of 15 filets chilling in your freezer for special occasions. I remember bringing a whole tenderloin and two racks of pork ribs to a get together, you will be the Bell of the Ball when you give people the meat sweats.

Made an onigiri family. Filling is pan fried mackerel with spring onions, wakame seaweed with soy sauce and sesame oil.

One pan Jamaican jerk chicken and dirty rice

I had a friend that used to make this really well Chicken, rice and peas. I tried a few times but it just wasn't the same. But your one looks great!

 

[BadBurger]

One pan Jamaican jerk chicken and dirty rice

Mmm I can almost taste that. Did you make any kind of sauce for it or was it already juicy enough?

 

[Paulxo87]

Would love the recipe for this that looks amazing and lol the only meat my kid likes is chicken!

It's a lot easier than it looks. I did the entire thing from start to finish in the cast Iron so i'll describe that process but you can do it differently.

1. take chicken thighs on the bone and rub them real good with walkerswood jerk seasoning. It's in a glass jar they sell it everywhere.

2. sear the chicken on both sides to crisp up the skin.

3. Put the chicken aside.

4. I was lazy and just had a box of zatarains jambalaya rice mix. Take the box mix with the two cups of water needed and put it into the pan.

5. Place the chicken back in the pan and cover with foil

6. put pan into oven should only take 30 minutes

A simple mushroom carbonara I made for the fiance and her sister:

Yea it's a bit watery but I was distracted with their conversations and comparisons of their Animal Crossing towns

Awesome. I love simple vegetarian dishes, even though I am primarily a carnivore.

Dear nush thank you for bringing British style bacon into my life but also...curse you!? I don’t think I can go back to the American stuff!

Here's a great vegetarian dish. Simple pasta and cherry tomatoes. You can also just make the cherry tomatoes as they have a fresh sweet taste and can be eaten as a snack or side dish.

I followed this recipe here.

Not sure what I’d call this but I basically didn’t put cheese into the sauce at all just what I had on hand, garlic, shallots, olive oil, bell peppers, mushrooms stir fried.

Then added in leftover chicken breast I made for nachos, bacon and let it simmer in pasta water, a splash of white wine and vermouth with a tiny bit of anchovie paste and tomato paste

 

[nush]

Pasta Surprise. We've all made those "Throw everything in we've got left" meals.

Yup I was mostly experimenting with not adding cheese to it in advance...this roux ( I guess?) was delicious. I’d make it again and could see it working for almost any meat or Italian appropriate meat, veggie and pasta combo: olive oil, garlic, shallot, chicken broth, anchovie paste, tomato paste, white wine and Italian seasoning blend from McCormick or Morton Basset etc. A lot of dishes call for adding cream or cheese or even cream cheese into the sauce but I loved the lightness here: if you want cheese just sprinkle on top.

One of my favorite dishes I used to make was simply a quick sauce of butter, garlic, and onion. Toss in cooked pasta and already seared pre-cooked and seasoned turkey meatballs (Jenny-O, I think the brand was called). Salt, pepper, and grated parm to taste. If I didn't melt enough butter for the sauce then a quick drizzle of olive oil would help finish it.

And of course, there's the technique of adding very thinly sliced garlic to cold olive oil in a pan, raising the heat so the flavor of the garlic slowly infuses, and tossing in pasta once the garlic is cooked. Salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to liking. It's a tasty carb bomb I used to make as a quick lunch on the weekends. One can also saute whatever veggies they like first on the side and toss those in once done.

That sounds delicious! I’m appreciating the versatility of pasta as I start cooking more: my parents only ever did Spaghetti and Meatballs with jarred sauce like Classico or Fettuccini growing up but I’m really enjoying making my own Marinara from scratch and quick lite sauces like this.

Perogies. Pan fried them. The black specs are my mistake. I put the chili flakes in too early.

Rioja-Style Spanish Eggs

Followed the recipe here;



Made a bit of a mistake with this one and used my saute pan instead of a non-stick frying pan, so even though there was a lot of oil the potatoes instantly stuck the the bottom and left bits. So I had to cook on a lower temperature so I would not have burned potato bit's in the final dish. So everything was a bit wetter and softer than I'd have liked. Tasted alright though.

Sure, you can do this and it tastes great, but let me suggest the absolutely beast of a recipe that is exponentially greater than the sum of its parts that is somewhat similar.

Pasta aglio e olio.

There are a few ways to do this and a few different recipes. Its heavily technique focused. But man, when you nail it...its literally grip the side of the table on how freakin good it is.

And I’m so overdue to rewatch Goodfella’s...for some reason it just never gets old for me. In terms of mafia films Godfather, Casino and Once Upon a Time in America I can do every few years but I could watch Goodfella’s once a month and not get bored.

I love all those, especially Goodfellas. Not sure if it’s my partial Italian heritage or what.

Lol Irish/German here grew up catholic and my godparents are Italian so I was kind of adopted. They make fun of my dad for being a wannabe Italian all the time because he learned to cook from their fresh off the boat Las Vegas grandpa who may or may not have gotten many bribes from the mob at the casino restaurants he ran

I am my wife's jealousy, she is addicted to homemade pizza. Part of our landscaping project this year is we're putting in a pizza oven. We did some pizza making classes together pre-covid and frothing to get our "real" homemade pizza game on.

Nice work there mate.

Chicken fried pork steak with mashed potatoes and gravy, with a veggie dish of corn and chayote.

It turned out very well. I usually only chicken fry chicken or beef, so this was a nice alternative to those meats.

This reminds me a little bit about my mothers "White dinner". She was a purely functional cook outside of baking bread and cakes which she was good at. Anything else, boil, throw it in the oven it or it came out of a can. Stay tuned cooking gaf, I'll recreate it for you soon.

Chinese New Year dumplings! I made it all from scratch...2.5 hours for 30 dumplings total. My mother in law could have cranked out 100’s in the same time without a Kitchenaid mixer..

 

[nush]

Here it is, the historical recreation of my mothers "White dinner". AKA purposely making bad food to show GAF.

It's on a small white plate for accuracy, no colour allowed in or on the plate! There were many variants of the white dinner and it was available in many many combinations;

Chicken wrapped in foil and put in the oven
Pork Chops wrapped in foil and put in the oven
Fish Fillet wrapped in foil and put in the oven
don't you dare think about grilling or pan frying, adding spices or sauce to any meat.

Over-boiled vegetable could also include marrow, parsnips, green boiled until translucent cabbage.

I learned one thing making this today, how to make bread sauce and it tasted really good (My mothers just came from a packet).

I used my fiance's old pastry thing, meant for icing on cakes or whatever. Make your mashed potatoes fine enough and it's basically cream.

Edit: the big challenge with shepard's pie is all the grease from lamb. Cottage pie, beef, is easy. I discovered cooking the ground lamb halfway through then draining the grease before sticking it in the pan for baking works best.

I love the potatoes! They look as pretty as delicious. Gonna try that as well.
