Tonight was a good meal. One of the best ive cooked up in a while. Port wine braised lambshank on crab mashed potatos, with pickled shallots, feta cheese, and basil from my indoor garden. WTF. The ratio of potato to crab was 2.5/1. Butter, cream (lots), garlic, kosher salt, pepper, crab and potatos. Oh god it was good and rich. The sauce is just the braising liquid reduced with a little added port. It had a half a habenero in it so it had just enough spice to keep it interesting and the pickled shallots were sharp enough to cut the richness perfectly. Salty feta and the smell of the fresh basil. Oh man i wish there were leftovers. :):):)

Sounds aweeesome! I do a 'quick pickle' shallot, with rice wine vinegar, water, sugar and salt, toss it in the 'french oven' AKA microwave (LOL) for 2 mins, and voila - quick pickled shallots or red onions! The vinegar/heat really activates the anthocyanin and makes them vibrant pink!

We had a 'blackbox' challenge today at culinary school. The Chef gave us Red lentils, prosciutto, kale, garlic, chives, a tomato, and a can of tuna and told us to make something that tasted good (we were bored and finished all our prep). We could only use 5 other ingredients.... (salt, pepper, oil didn't count)

I boiled and de-veined the kale, the sauteed it with a little salt and pepper. The tuna got drained and mixed with mayo, grainy mustard, tomato concasse, chives salt, pepper, and caramelized onions. I grabbed some parmasean crackers we made yesterday, and made a tuna dip. Boiled my lentils, then fried them with a chiffonade of prosciutto.

Got an 8.5/10 on it... my kale wasn't cooked enough.... and was (WAY) too salty. lol



Check out some of the things I've got to put together! :D

Kind of a Waldorf salad - made with Celery, fennel, apples, green onion, walnuts, grapes, and an avocado mayo for dressing.

"Poutine" - sweet potato fries, stuffing, smoked cheese curds, and cranberry coulis.

i really like the sweet pot "poutine" but we should find another word for it, you cannot use the poutine unless its poutine from quebec ! HAHHA! :P

i miss poutine probably one of the only things i truly miss. its just so classic, and delicious
theres no vegan alternative, i mean sure you make vegan gravy fries and vegan cheese but ..its like almost it wouldnt be the same lol

I would LOVE some kale recipies!

I cut the sweet pot a lot finer than a standard fry cut, more like between julienne and alumette. Blanched in oil quickly, then deep fried again just before service. The smoked cheese curd (yes, CURD :D ) was absolutely amazing.... OH SHIT. I forgot the best friggin' part, the GRAVY was a Duck Veloute.....

We've actually used them before, I just didn't think of it today lol. They add a really nice texture, but they're super oily... lol
 
Good luck with your College Beefbisquit! Looks like you are doing some great stuff there.

We had chateaubriand tonight when we went out. I had scallops to start and the wife had salmon. There was a live band playing jazz tunes as well, very cool I thought. My wife plays the piano and said she just doesn't get jazz, I am not sure if I do either I just kind of float along on what they play....slaap lekker, DST

Thanks man, it helps having one of the best Chef's in the country (Top 100 in the world) teaching me. :D

EDIT: I have a chateaubriand in the freezer, probably going to roast it but I might try to do a massive Wellington with it! :D
 
Too much good stuff for me to absorb. Good work!

I had spag bog on fries. Now I have the kind of cider you're embarrassed to walk through the shop with..
 
My pizza didn't work out too well. Not enough semolina on the spatula thing. I shall just maintain that i was going for rustic :)
