chili rojo enchiladas and a small salad. Horchata will be the beverage (I blame DoomBrew for that). Dessert will be pineapple and raspberry empanaditas. They're cooling on the rack as I type.
Hey carne, when you saute the meat, you're not trying to brown it, but instead sorta just starting the stewing process early? I assume it could be done both ways, but was there a reason behind not browing it? Does it help the chili saturate the meat more in the following step? Love your love of food...
I love prawns. With a passion that has no equal. That looks delicious. Do you by chance have a recipe? :: puppy dog eyes ::View attachment 2352019
5 scalops griddled for 20 seconds, grilled black tiger prawn, garlic butter, green pinenut sauce, and nut crumble. NOM. Gonna be classy and finish it off with a tin of tuna Think i'm gonna spend a pay cheque and buy myself a new digital camera so i can really get you guys drooling. My phone camera is 5mp, but such a waste of time. If you're gonna take a photo it should be done properly.
Haha, that was one of the first things Kuroi learnt about me. If there is one thing in life i utterly love, it is seafood, and at the top of that list is whole king/tiger prawns. Followed shortly by squid. When i was a fishmonger we used to buy in prawns that came in 6/8 per kilo, they just rocked.I love prawns. With a passion that has no equal. That looks delicious.

Please tell me you suck the juices out of the head. People hate it when you say brains so I say juices. But, OH MY GOD, that's the best part. hmm... I think I just may have meal plan when I host the next dinner for my friends. It's a rule that you have try EVERYTHING. So I'm going to make them suck the brains out. muahahahahaahahah!!!Haha, that was one of the first things Kuroi learnt about me.

This is stuff i cook for customers and the staff at work, so don't have recipes yet, but basically it's just 5 seasoned king scallops griddled in a smoking pan, hot enough that more often than not you just end up with a panfire when you chuck em in, then a whoel tiger prawn fried in olive oil in a pan then popped under the grill after turning the first time. Scallops get seared on one side the the moment you flip them you remove from heat and pop into the scallop shell imediately, noone likes a chewy scallop, raw is much tastier, the pan is for pretty much colour and nothing else. The nut crumble is breadcrumbs, almonds, peanuts and a little something something, and the green sauce is in essence basicalyy a watery pesto, but with a little shazam. Don;'t quite know what is in it, the head chef has been the sous chef in a michelin star resteraunt for the past 14 years. He knows exactly what he wants and damn is it good. Really really excited about how much i'm gonna learn working with him. that man knows his shit, even if he doens't know the english words for it
I'll make a note to myself and start getting specific recipes written down. food should be shared and enjoyed.
But as you say, prawns, good god yes! In the UK they are horrendously expensive if you want something of quality, if you go into a shop, buying them shell on is pretty much not going to happen unless you visit a good fishmonger, and then you'll be out an arm and a leg. Have been re-watching big shrimpin, basically deadliest catch but in the gulf, and it makes me tearful, all those gorgeous huge shrimp (we call em prawns over here regardless of size, shrimp to us are things the size of say a pea) and i don't get's to eat any of them
I live in the desert. Prawns are FAR from cheap here. LOL You are most welcome to join us for dinner. You'll feel right at home. We do indulge in some Spanglishaho. It may take some getting used to.Gambas son barata aquí !! I don't suck the juices, I snap and discard them but I do eat the cheeks on fish. Do I get a dinner invitation purrlease?? I like to try new things!!
