Salad and stirfried veggies w/ tofu tonight...My 30 minute dinner.

And oh, brown rice.

 

I bought one of these to start cooking different meals.. Note: I can't cook and burn everything so this is starter..




If anyone has any ideas, suggestions or tips for me

Matar Paneer & Roti

 

that machine looks awesome.

Links? =P. I'm getting tired of the foreman grill.

I had porkchops off the grill today. (straight defrosted and thrown on the grill). Put A1, Soy Sauce Paste and a bit of tapatio for a dipping sauce.

 

 

Roti = Teh Great

Didn't know indians ate roti, then again a lot of caribbean meals have East Indian ties.

 

??? the word roti should have tipped you off.

But I guess if you've heard it all your life and its part of your cuisine, not making the connection understandable.

 

Whenever I make dinner, I usually make microwave shrimp scampi, but didn't use the microwave. I cooked that shit (350 degrees for about 10-12 minutes). It's easier to make than "regular" schrimp scampi, and frankly, to me, it tastes better. Just google "microwave shrimp scampi," and you're there.

I usually put that over white rice. I think that's what made my wife fall in love with me!

Tonight I might try Jamaican Jerk chicken with a couple of bottles of Red Stripe.

 

Wow..only upon reading this thread again (and paying attention) did I realize that Omicron cooked soopa's meal that he took photos of in the first post.

That's awesome. Omicron should set his sights on being a chef.

I can see it now....

Looks good, Omicron!

Edit: I am also impressed. One thing I want to do in London is learn how to cook. Andrew, want to school me?

 

Pork Tenderloin over a bed of rice w/ a little gravy and grilled asparagus























Starting my Ceviche for tomorrow night

2 lbs of firm, any fish, I use Mahi Mahi and shrimp as well, cut into 1/2 inch pieces, completely deboned
1/2 cup of fresh squeezed lime juice
1/2 cup of fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/2 purple onion, finely diced
1 cup of fresh peeled, seeded, and chopped tomatoes
1 serrano chili, seeded and finely diced
2 teaspoons of salt
dash of ground oregano
dash of Tabasco or a few grains of cayenne pepper

Cilantro
Avocado
Tortillas or tortilla chips

In a non-reactive casserole dish, either Pyrex or ceramic, place the fish, onion, tomatoes, chili, salt, Tabasco, and oregano. Cover with lime and lemon juice. Let sit covered in the refrigerator for an hour, then stir, making sure more of the fish gets exposed to the acidic lime and lemon juices. Let sit for at least 6 hours, giving time for the flavors to blend.

Serve with chopped cilantro and slices of avocado with heated tortillas for ceviche tacos or with tortilla chips.

 

Potpower: So, it's raw?

 

If it's going in the casserole dish, I'd imagine it's going to roast in the oven. Maybe he just left out the part of the process that involves the method of cooking.

 

No, the citrus in the lime and lemons cooks the fish


here's some info on it

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceviche

 

My latest favorite is grilled asparagus. Asparagus, brushed down with a little olive oil, seasoned with salt and pepper (or whatever you like) and slapped down right on the grill. Constant repetition has taught me that it's better to lay them down perpendicular to the grill grate, otherwise they get all sooty.

 

try it w/ some sea salt!!! unreal

 

Not really though. Lemons/Limes aren't acidic enough to "cook" a piece of fish through... especially in an hour. Just make sure you're getting quality seafood, which is much easier to do in California than elsewhere.

 

* Unless of course you're using little Key Limes, which are acidic enough to melt through glass

 

I grill asparagus alot.

I usually toss them in a little salted boiling water for a minute before hand, find it leaves them a little moister and helps them retain their color on the grill.

 

I think you'd be very suprised how quickly it cooks, but if you did notice, I said it must sit for 6 hours

The lemons and limes do a fine job at cooking the fish, esp. since you slice it up into small pieces. Try it w/ a red fish sometime, as you can sit and watch it cook.

 

Ah, I didn't read past the firdge for an hour part. Right there I thought... danger.

 

That sounds good Clpower, if you have any tangerines squeeze those puppies into your cevice along with your lime and lemon juice. It tastes great. I also noticed your recipe doesn't call for straining the ceviche after it has sat in the fridge for 6 hours. The juices will be very fishy smelling / tasting after 6 hours. If you just strain it and add new lemon/lime/tangerine(if u like) juice it will taste all that much better. The other day I made a shrimp scallop ceviche and it was off the hook!!!


Soopa, Ceviche is prepared raw. The lemon/lime juice with its high acidity literally "cooks"(denatures) the fish/shrimp over several hours in the fridge. This dish right here is what actually opened my mind to eating fish. It tasted so good I couldnt believe it was prepared raw.

 

I've been wrapping mine in foil lately and putting them on the ground, does a great job at retaining moisture.

 

this book

Great slow cooker recipe book!

 

I wrap mine up in a foil pocket, but I am sure to leave a big air pocket in there to help steam them on the grill. I like to put a little sea salt, a little lemon juice, and a little black pepper in the pocket before they go on.

The only thing I don't like about asparagus is 1 definate side effect: FOUL-smelling piss for about the next 12 hours.

 

Asparagus wraps - (great for appetizers)

1 Blanched asparagus

-Brush whole square with butter
-sprinkle a nice layer of parm
-lay piece of proscuitto, then asparagus on the filo dough square
-wrap into a roll
- cook in oven for 4-5 min. @ 375 until nice and golden/crispy.

 

^^ OK. I have to go eat something good for lunch today.

 

I've wanted to try this for a long time, now I'll have to!

 

We served this at a wedding banquet on saturday night. People were eating them like hotcakes. The platters were coming in empty faster than we could cook them... and we were doing a couple hundred wraps at a time in the oven.

 

*sigh* the world for a man who can cook. i survive off of coffee. can bake anything, haven't mastered the whole cooking thing.

 

Let's not make this a giant recipe thread, we have them already. Let's keep this as a daily... what's cooking TODAY thread plz.
