Just tie up the stems with some string and drop it in the sauce. When done cooking you can discard the stems.

Interdasting.  Might try this next time.  I think it greatly depends on the thyme as to how easy the leaves come off.  My last batch just had such fragile stems that they kept breaking no matter what technique I tried.  But I’ve had it before where it came off pretty easy

Saw this chicken dish on Reddit a couple days ago.  I'm going to try to recreate it tomorrow night.  Thinking I'll render down some bacon bits, then brown some bone-in chicken thighs in a dutch oven in the rendered fat, about 4 min/side.  I'll pull the chicken, then sweat some onion and shallots in the rendered fat.  Add some sliced mushrooms and whole grain mustard, then deglaze the pan with chardonnay and chicken broth.  After that reduces, I'll add the chicken back, skin side up, then put the lid on and cook for 20ish minutes to cook through.  I'll remove the lid and check the sauce.  Finish it with some dijon and heavy cream, maybe finish off heat with some cold butter if needed.  I've got some spinach tagliatelle to serve this with, but I would actually toss the pasta in the sauce, not serve on the side as shown above.  Oh yeah, add the crispy bacon bits back when plating.

Any suggestions?

Inspired by the Tagliatelle Bolognese at Coltivare. Honestly, pretty damn good for a first attempt.0437f1a3979a851d49c570cff1210eb6.jpg

Following up on the smoked chickens. They turned out nice.

I bought some pork chops to pan fry and the meatmatician asked me if I wanted a few lamb lollipops for free, as they had been cut poorly from the rack and lost their shape. Said he couldn’t sell them. So, I naturally said yes. And proceeded to pan fry those too. Man, game changer.

So yesterday, I made a veggie-heavy dinner (trying to eat healthier at casa Brisket these days).  Butter beans, seasoned with just a bit of ham, and okra, indian-style (dry stir-fried with onion, garlic, ginger, turmeric, cumin seeds, etc).  It was all very tasty, and I thought it was a great dinner.

BUT.....if I eat that meal again, I'm pretty sure my wife will kick me not just out of the bedroom, but out of the house.  TCEQ may have been called out to our property for air quality monitoring, which we may have failed.  Damn.

I'm too white for legumes now too.  I love baked beans, but they make me feel like I'm a pin-prick away from going full Mr. Creosote.  The worst gas pressure and pungency was actually caused by eating a dozen or so cloves of garlic from a crawfish boil.  That almost derailed our engagement permanently.

I would never ever eat a beano.

Somethings are too pure to spoil.

10/10, will make again. This combined two of my not so favorite ingredients (mustard and bone-in chicken thighs) and elevated them to a restaurant worthy meal. Used Maille whole grain mustard and some German whole grain mustard for the sauce before finishing with Dijon and some heavy cream. Finished with cold butter off heat to help bring the whole sauce together. Seasoned with a little thyme and cayenne.

There was some leftover sauce after I portioned out my lunches. My wife and I stopped it up with some Dave’s Killer Bread. So fucking good.

If I could have found boneless thighs w/ the skins, I would have gotten them. All the boneless ones at HEB we’re also skinless, and I was in too much of a hurry to debone 4 thighs.

Started buying thighs 15 years ago because they were cheap. Now, I buy them because I prefer them.

Rosemary, garlic and balsamic marinated lamb and basil “zoodle” Alfredo for dinner. Nobody was hungry enough last night to grill these, so they sat in the marinade an extra day. Didn’t suck. Sloppy plate I know.

been looking for those plates, any idea where form?

They're large shallow pasta bowls from World Market.

*I can't find them on their website, but I know my wife just bought a couple more of them maybe 2-3 weeks ago, so they should still be available in store.

My kids grew up (with good fortune) with more than I had as a kid. So I thought it long overdue that I introduce them to the culinary wonderment that is processed meats. A resounding thumbs up from all.

Repped assuming you fried up those SPAM slices in a skillet to get them nice and crusty before assembling the sammich.

Unconditioned rep.  My grandpa use to love that stuff grilled up in a sandwich.

Skinless chicken thighs should be sent into outer space, to find another race.

 

I don't want to quibble here, but it takes like 2 minutes to debone 4 thighs.  Either way, well done. I just feel a dogmatic need to defend chicken thighs when their virtue is called in to question.

Yep.  It's easy enough to find leg/thighs together with skin on and separate them.  Or just get a whole chicken and break that fucker down.

This.  Cheaper than buying pieces and not hard at all.

Hey, CenTx, welcome back!  Been missing your food porn.  Nice entry for your return.

Good to be back and now living in Austin with more food resources! About to have to kick it up a notch now!

Was looking to grab a few scallops to sear up to serve with this cauliflower rice recipe my wife found.  HEB was out of scallops so called an audible.  Mussels in white wine and tomato broth.

These two posts gave me a good chuckle. Shooters shoot.

LOL. Never crossed my mind.

 

Also, my wife a few minutes ago: "Do you have another bottle of wine we can open?". 

Debated whether to post this here or in Steelshank’s thread, but here it goes.

 

The wife’s away, so it’s time to make that “boring” taste of home that wreaks of comfort. I bring you pan fried bone-in pork chop with potatoes and milk gravy.

It was terrible.

 

Bonus points... pecan maple oatmeal pie. Used a pre-made pie crust that was a touch to small for my pan, hence the partially collapsed crust. It will not affect the taste.

Nice, but I would have gone for a harder sear on the pork chop.
