Surf and turf. Did a little Yukon gold cauliflower purée with toasted pine nuts and fried capers. Steak is just a ribeye with a blue cheese cream reduction. Also had a baked potato and some shitty wine.

One of my fave recipes. Looks fantastic.

I haven't posted in this thread since the migration from the old shithole.  I was in Italy last month and our entire group fell in love with a northern Italian pasta called tajarin.  It's a very delicate pasta made entirely from egg yolks and 00 flour.  I recently received a pasta machine as a gift so I figured I'd give it a try.

It's about as simple a pasta as you can make. Egg yolks and #00 flour. I didn't take pics of the entire process. I've never made pasta before so I was focused on the product

The pasta machine. You can make any type of pasta with it (almost) at any thickness you desire. Tajarin is a very rich, very light pasta. About the size of angel hair or perhaps a bit smaller. Only touches boiling water for a minute or two.

Ground beef.  Ground pork.  Ground veal.  My daughter wasn't happy about the veal but she ate it.

I cook it down for about four hours.  A lot of red wine goes into the bolognese.

The ragu gets very dark at the end. I was very pleased with my first pasta. The pasta machine helped a ton.

That bolognese (and the pasta it's on) looks fantastic.  Do you put cream in your and/or cheese at any point in the cooking process?

No cream or cheese in the cooking process.  Just parmigiano reggiano at the end.

outta rep, nicely done last few days

I wanna eat at Jack Straw’s restaurant and drink on the porch with his dog.

Jerk chicken for the first time. Won't be the last. Fuck me.  20181024-205001.jpg

Needed a spicy chicken pasta, just using what I had on hand.  Grilled Cajun chicken; sautéed onion, garlic, bell pepper; wine, cream, red devil sauce, red pepper flakes; cotija cheese and tomato; egg noodles.  So good...

Made Parmesan soup from Chez L’ami Jean in Paris. Contains two quarts of cream and a half pound of Parmesan among other things. Fill the bowl with bacon, chives, shallots, and croutons fried in bacon grease.

one of my favorite meals to make. Flank steak with chimichuri. Paired that with a nice Malbec. 

Man...I really like Malbec. Got hooked when the folks lived in BA, and it’s remained my go-to red. Although I think red zin is underrated, too.

Zinfandel is low key a boss. May actually be my favorite red. 

Smoked a 4 lb beef rib rack for the game yesterday and it tuned out fantastic. First time doing a beef rib but went with the Aaron Franklin method.

Was that done on an egg? If so, how’d you dial it in?

Had myself a nice little breakfast yesterday:

Of you're asking me then yes it was on a vision grill smoker. I let the temp start lower and creep up to 285. It was a 9 hour smoke and pretty much stayed right at 285 for six of it. The rest of the time it hovered +\- 20 degrees until I got it locked in fiddling with the upper and lower vents. I used a mix of hickory and oak chips which seemed to work well for the flavor.

One of my favorite comfort meals: baked ziti with sausage and Caesar salet.

Would devour. I’ve done cauliflower rice a bunch, what do you use in your cauliflower mash? Blend it with milk, butter or heavy cream?

I just threw some butter, a clove of garlic, and some salt and pepper in there.

Love some cauliflower mash. I will sometimes add a little sour cream or cream cheese and some shredded parm to firm it up a bit

Back before burneko went full CR, he had some solid recipes on foodspin. Look up his cauliflower recipe. But this is basically it:

Steam a head of cauliflower until fork tender

Put in blender with cream cheese, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, handful of parm and blend until smooth. (I add garlic here, too)

Pour into baking dish and top with more parm and drizzle with olive oil. 

Put into a 375 degree oven and bake until cheese is browning and bubbling. 

Tell everyone else to fuck off and devour.

First night in the 30’s here means one thing... The forecast is chili!

32e2a8869a8c89c17079d0a51fa17617.jpg

Made beef bourguignon this weekend in my pressure cooker for the first time.  Found a recipe for it that stayed pretty close to the Julia Childs recipe but added a wee bit of soy sauce, fish sauce, and tomato paste.  I would have used a pinot noir, the driest of the reds, but I only had a merlot.  3 cups.  Taking the skins off of pearl onions is a pain in the ass, even blanching, but it's worth it.  To cut up the bacon bits, I put half the package (6 oz) in the freezer for an hour.  I took extra care to really dry the steak to get the best sear in the bacon fat.  I also used Better Than Bouillon because it rocks. 2 cups of that broth.  I love this thread and the plate shots, which put mine to shame   The final product looks like slop over mashed potatoes.  But it is fucking heavenly flavors.  I included the pro pic from the recipe website.

Pro tip.  Make it the day before.  And then add the buttered mushrooms before serving.  My teens don't like them because I am a bad father.  Pressure cooker destroys mushrooms, so I added them to my plate, not shown.

If you don't like the pressure cooker, the recipe has traditional or slow cooker method.

i assume this means it's from serious eats

Could have.  I read it helps.  Much debate over the use of tomato paste.  A fancier fuck would have made his own fish sauce with anchovy, sea salt, water, and sugar.

I had Thai Kitchen bottle in the door and not a fuck to give.  HEB two fiddy
