StephanieL Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 I made jambalaya this evening, using the recipe from Toni Tipton-Martin's Jubilee. I substituted the Spanish chorizo I had in the pantry for andouille, and bacon for the salt pork. The rice part was Anson Mills Carolina Gold. There were lots of steps and components, but I think it came out pretty well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bloviatrix Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 I made pizza too. Mine isn't nearly as pretty. But it's topped with ramp and asparagus so I'm excited. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilfrid Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 I love scrapple but you really do have to get the pan so hot that water explodes from it (and crank up the extractor fans) because it must be crispy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relbbaddoof Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 17 hours ago, Wilfrid said: crispy. Et tu, Wilfrid? What happened to plain old crisp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilfrid Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Oh right, "crisp" is adjective enough. I take your point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

small h Posted May 19 Author Share Posted May 19 I’m in front of the tv, too (probably not watching sports). But way too clumsy to eat from a plate on my lap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MitchW Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 (edited) Made a giant pot of ragu (as well as a fair-sized batch of meatballs) yesterday (that's a one-quart saucepan behind the much larger saucepan the ragu is cooking in): Beef, pork, sausage, Italian San Marzanos, soffritto. So... Spaghetti, ragu, meatballs. Edited May 25 by MitchW 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MitchW Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 (edited) \ I made a big batch of this Japanese curry roux (from scratch via this kit), and store it in the fridge and freezer. Chicken thighs on the bone, carrots, Japanese sweet potatoes, red potatoes, onions, garlic, ginger, stock, soy, honey, chicken stock. Started by browning the chicken thighs, skin side down, then cooked the onions, ginger and garlic in the rendered schmaltz before adding the rest of the vegetables, stock, seasonings and chicken back in to braise along with everything else. Dissolved a few cubes of the roux and added them; it thickens quite quickly, so I tend to have some stock on hand if it needs thinning. Japanese curry rice with chicken. (Normally, a Japanese short-grain rice would accompany, but last night I made Jasmine rice instead, so I could have plenty leftover for fried rice).

StephanieL Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 (edited) The herb pie mentioned in the Dingbat of the Day thread (recipe from Jerusalem), plus RG's Raw Zucchini Salad with Flageolets and Basil. My friends brought a strawberry cake and a big bowl of whipped cream for dessert. Edited May 27 by StephanieL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
