paradime Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 We need a place to share food formulas... Okay recipes if you want a formal label, but let's face it, cooking is a supremely subjective science so for me, a "recipe" is nothing more than a starting point. For others, it's a sacred path to recreate perfection, or a way to reconnect with a memory.

paradime Posted September 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Biscuits and Gravy for four Gravy:One lb. lean country pork sausage1 quart milk (fat content as you like)4 Tsp butter1 cup All Purpose flour1 1/2 tsp salt1 tsp pepper2 tsp onion powder In a large sauce pan brown sausage. Pour off any grease, and set cooked pork aside. Using the same saucepan, melt butter, add a bit more than half of the flower, and cook on medium heat until smooth. Stir in the milk, salt, pepper, and onion powder, and bring to a simmer. As the gravy starts to thicken, add the cooked sausage. If you’d like the gravy a bit thicker, mix the rest of the flower with a half cup of water to make a slurry, and slowly add to thicken the gaby as desired. Biscuits:2 cups Self Rising flower6Tbs Butter frozen3/4 cup Buttermilk1 tsp Salt Pre heat oven to 400F. In a large plastic bowl combine flour, salt, and use a greater pressing lightly shred frozen butter into find slivers. note: (mix butter into flour every 30 seconds). Add the butter milk and lightly combine by lifting from the bottom of the bowl lifting up until the flour is moist and just coming together in large clumps (you may need a bit more buttermilk, or flower). Turn dough out onto a lightly floured cool surface and gently roll the dough until it comes together into one large ball. Using rolling pin gently pat the dough into a 1 1/2” to 2” thickness. If you don’t have a round biscuit cutter, you can use a soup can, by opening it at both ends. Press straight down into the dough until cutter contacts surface then gently twist to relieve the biscuits. On a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. place the biscuits in the center so they just touch one another in an even formation. Bake in a preheated oven to a golden brown, approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Not all cookie sheets transfer heat the same way, so keep an eye on the bottom of the biscuits to prevent burning. 1 Quote Link to comment

q-tip Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Quick pickled onions (spicy) go awesome with pulled pork. 1 medium red onion 1 small jalapeño (for some spice!) 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon sugar 10ish whole peppercorns (crush optional) 2+ cups water 3/4 cup vinegar (white or apple cider) Optional for more kick: 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1/4 teaspoon chilli powder Cut onion into rings or pieces, rings are easier to get out of the jar. Cut jalapeño, discard top and tip Boil water While the water is boiling put salt, sugar cayenne and peppercorns in a jar. Pour some of the vinegar into jar and dissolve salt and sugar. Place onion and jalapeño in sieve coulndt or strainer Pour boiling water over onions. Put onions in jar, pour the rest of the vinegar into jar, fill the remainder with either water or more vinegar depending on your preference (I use vinegar and a splash of water). Secure lid on jar. Shake the all living hell out of the jar to get the seasonings distributed throughout. Put the jar in the fridge give it an hour or two and enjoy. These will only last about a week since it is not a true pickling and onions don't hold up well in the liquid. 2 Quote Link to comment

MikeRL411 Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Pickled red onions as inspired by the delicious ones served at "El Polo Supremo" just East of the Arizona State University in Mesa Arizona [Lord I hope they are still in business] and modified by my personal tastes. Slice an Red Onion in half vertically. and then slice into half rings, not too thin. Layer into a plastic tub with alternate Oregano [not too much, the results will tell you if you used too much, so start over] and Kosher pickling salt [or real non Iodizened sea salt] it is important to not used Iodized salt as it will yield mushy pickles! Transfer to either a glass, porcelan or as a last but acceptical a;ternative a plastic salsa tub. You need a plastic or ceramic saucer / lid that fits inside the neck of the receptical into which you have dumped your soon to be pickles! iT REALLY HELPS TO WEIGH THE FLOATING LID WITH A CLEAN ROCK OR SOME "APPROVED" MASS WEIGHT LIKE AN UNOPENED kIMCHEE JAR. Fill the receptical to cover the sliced onions with Japanese Rice Vinegar [not the cheap distilled white vinegar wit sake flavoring] Now put into the refrigerator for 2 or 4 days [or if you can't wait, leave on top of the counter for 1 day] Then enjoy!

Some Creole food is,... Take out the hot sauce and have the bottle on the table. Start the sauce with the holy trinity of course. Cheese grits, cheddar cheese. Quote Link to comment

And a buddy of mine asks me to give his wife the recipe so she can make them, which I've done 3 times. Be warned, the onions will start to lose their color the next day. Good info Theres an Asian fusion place called The House in SF on Grant at Vallejo, strangely enough an Italian neighborhood. They make a quick pickled Asian cucumber that is awesome. I didn't get the recipe, but managed to figure it out after obsessing on it for a while. 10 Asian Cucumbers. If you can't find Asian you can us the small pickling sized. cut off the ends and quarter long ways. 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup rice wine vinegar 1/2 cup water 2Tbs salt 2Tbs chili garlic sauce Add everything into a pan and heat only long enough to dissolve sugar and salt. Let it cool to about 130 degrees. Put all the cut cucumbers into a ziploch bag and add cooled liquid. Pull out all the air, close bag and fridge for 6-8 hours. Same thing as the onions but shorted shelf life. Maybe two days tops. They won't last though. Quote Link to comment

paradime Posted September 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Banana and Bitter Sweet Chocolate Crescent Bread Pudding. Much easier to make than to say. 4 stale crescents 2 large bananas 1 4oz bar of 70% coca or higher dark chocolate 3 large eggs 1 cup half&half 1/4 cup sugar 1/2tsp salt 1tsp vanilla 1/4 cup Banana Liqueur Place a baking pan half full of water on the top shelf of the oven and preheat to 225F Cut ripe banana long ways twice to make four long 1/4 strips then dice into 1/2" bits, set aside Brake the chocolate into four equal parts and dice then into 1/4" bits, set aside Cut the crescents into 1/2" slices, set aside in a bowl combine the rest of the wet and dry ingredients and whisk until sugar and salt dissolve. butter four coffee cups Place one wide slice of the crescent at the bottom of a cup pinching sides to fit and top with some banana and chocolate. Place another slice of crescent on top and repeat with banana and chocolate until the cup is 3/4 full. Poor the custard over the top until you can just see it coming to the top of the last slice. Gently push the bread down until it's covered by custard. it's ok if the bread rises back up. it will become a crust. Sprinkle the top with sugar. Place in heated water pan and bake for one hour or until the custard is just set enough to hold together. It will not brown at all. Best served warm, not hot. You can also poor melted vanilla ice cream over the top 1 Quote Link to comment
KoHeartsGPA Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Salmon stew for two 2 salmon steaks. 4 potatoes (2 red, 2 yellow). 2 carrots. 3 tomatos. 1/8 to 1/4 yellow onion. 1 garlic clove. 1-2 basil leaves. 1/2 jalapeño. 1 corn. Cut up the potatoes into 4 pieces, slices the carrot into rolls, throw into the bottom of the pot with about 1/2 inch deep water and put the stove to about 1/2 heat, then slice up tomatos, jalapeño, onion, garlic and throw it in the pot, grab a corn, cut in half and place it ontop of everything, at any time now add the basil and prepare the salmon steaks, i just rinse and add some salt and place them ontop of the pot, no need to stir, it won't stick with the water and tomato juices, let it cook between 30 and 35 minutes at medium heat, just eyeball the fish, once it turns pink after 30 minutes you can grab a fork and check if its cooked throughout, if so then its ready to serve, this was my dinner tonight. :thumbup: Bon apetit! 1 Quote Link to comment
Ratwagon1600 Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 My Pickled eggs recipe (great with Beer). Dozen (very) hardboiled eggs. Cool eggs, peel shells and place eggs in a large preserving jar /bottle. Fill jar so eggs are covered with Malt (Brown) vinegar, tablespoon of garlic, chilli (as much as you want) and place in fridge for at least two weeks to allow the eggs to absorb all the goodness. Eat eggs while drinking beer. Enjoy. 2 Quote Link to comment
