What Have You Cooked Recently?

[souschef]

You can make decent bechamel in the microwave if you can't be bothered to use the stove.

Never did it on microwave, i usually don't trust them regarding controlling temp

Bechamels the easiest thing ever lol its only a couple of minutes, you could probably make it in the time the bread is toasting.

I know it's easy, that's why it's called laziness

It would take longer though, because i always use onion pique on mine

Salisbury steak. Not the reheated kind, I actually made the patties and gravy meself I did.

Cooking laziness is permissible when you get paid to cook for your day job. I love to cook but I'd be over it by the time I got home if I had to do it for a living.

Osso bucco with beef shanks because I really can't bring myself to eat veal given the option.

It's funny the amount of "dating you must be fun because of the food" i get, as if i wouldn't just make elaborate dishes before getting laid and just confort/quick dishes forever after

Been making smash burgers recently, nice change of pace from the heavier "add a bunch of random shit" burgers I primarily ate in the past.

Got a new job, just slinging steaks and chickens all day. Satisfies my inner boomer and the work is fast paced enough that the days have been flying by, but I will miss the last two jobs I had since there's zero creativity involved with grilling all day.
Only real downside is we have a lot of straight up wetbacks in the kitchen and they're super shitty towards White people. If they weren't rude I'd have likely ignored their immigration status but since they want to act entitled and cunty to the new White boy in the kitchen I dropped a line to ICE today. Don't expect any action until the government shutdown ends but I'm confident they'll be following up and I'll be there to get some very satisfying video.
TL;DR I cooked some beans

Steamed an entire chicken in a pressure cooker yesterday. Marinate it with soy sauce and mirin, green onions, and fresh ginger, and it comes out great. I've got chicken for days. I'm chickenpilled. I'm a chickenpilled steamcell. Ching Chong Chinese steamed chicken goes so hard over rice, you have no idea. Steam a chicken today.

Its been cold for the last few days so I made a large pot of homemade split pea soup. Used a whole ham to make the broth and provide alot of meat and fat for it, lots of thyme, pepper, rosemary, summer savory and sage. Slow cooked for a full day, and a big loaf of freshly baked bread to go with it. It turned out really well, even the dog gulped down a big bowl in a hurry and keeps whining for more whenever I take the pot out of the fridge

The key is the slow cooking, letting it cook down until the skin on top of the ham breaks down and dissolves along with the fat and part of the meat, it'll thicken up and emulsify into a very rich thick almost porridge like consistency

Not exactly what you called for but I got you...




Steamed chicken chads for the win

Also, get a steam pot. So useful for seafood and everything

I'm out of groceries because I was out of town, and heaven forbid Mr Balls do the shopping, so tonight is some unknown flavor of fresh sausage fried up with onions, carraway seed, tomato sauce and rice. I have no idea what to call that, so, it's experiment number 289. I wish I had a green cabbage. ETA- That's odd. My rice cooker has never refused to cook rice, before. Now dinner will take another hour unless I want to throw all this into a pot.

 

[newport100s]

Decided to try making the rolls square this time. Definitely recommend, they stick together much better and easier to cut without squishing the roll.

Had some cheesey grits and bacon yesterday, with sausage with toasted cheese on top, eggs and hash browns.

 

[Neuroticks]

Making a steak sandwich today.
Ciabatta roll, thinly sliced onion, gem lettuce and tomato
Curry mayo spread (ingredients: Mayonnaise, curry powder, a dash of pineapple juice, cracked pepper)

 

[frito57]

Eggs and bacon

 

[Mop_Bucket]

Chicken parm with green beans. Baked the chicken instead of frying. Sauce made from scratch, topped with fresh basil.

 

[Stains Davidson]

I'm in this obsessive "pursuit of the perfect simple soup" era

 

[W00K #17]

Did some simple burgers on the grill tonight, toppings were bbq sauce and homemade coleslaw. Sides were tater tots, a smoked gouda pasta salad, and roast cauliflower. Not bad.

 

[Stains Davidson]

I think this gives a better impression of just how much garlic was in this monster

 

[Agent Abe Caprine]

I decided cooking rice drunk was a good idea and ended up with congee. Put some Asian sauces in and some salmon. Pretty good.

 

[Mother Gooseberry]

I made a crockpot potato soup that I got from a random ad on Facebook and it was a big hit with the family. Perfect for the cool fall weather we’re finally having here

I made apple turnovers recently. I did the apples from scratch but making puff pastry from scratch It takes an order of magnitude more time than I care to spend on the project. You can buy store-bought puff pastry that tastes delicious and then you just make a cream cheese icing and you have a really nice breakfast-ish item
