Title: What are you cooking tonight? Post by: nicrosato on October 08, 2009, 11:04:41 AM At DucNight on Tuesday, it came out that HunkyPunk, KingBaby, Cloner and the Trust Fund Baby all, like me, enjoy cooking. So, this thread is a place where we can share recipes and any and all things cooking.
Title: Re: What are you cooking tonight? Post by: nicrosato on October 08, 2009, 11:13:52 AM I'll start off (because I can).
We're having neighbors for dinner this evening, so I am preparing the following: Mozzarella, sundried tomato and anchovies, rolled in filo dough and baked Tortelli (store-bought) in broth (home-made) Sauteed Italian sausage and seedless grapes w/balsamic vinegar, served over a bed of baby spinach. A bagette from the French Riviera Bakery on 4th st. For dessert, I bought some raspberry and apricot tarts at the French Riviera. I will dispatch the Princess to purchase a bottle of Black Sambuca to serve with coffee and dessert. Title: Re: What are you cooking tonight? Post by: bonfy on October 08, 2009, 11:20:21 AM Hmmmmmmm, this will either be a really easy thread to jack or the opposite. We must put our heads together and think of some inane jackasseries with which to flood Nicrosats's new topic!

Even though I just did, but to make a point. :) Dominos used to (don't know if they still do) have a Hawaiian pizza with pineapple and ham. It wasn't half bad.

Title: Re: What are you cooking tonight? Post by: nicrosato on October 11, 2009, 07:07:48 PM Neighbors invited us for lunch today when I got back from the Crest. It was one of the guys' mom's birthday. They ordered pizza from- where else- Dion's. I would rate it as good/OK. No, they didn't order a pineapple topping. The green chili and chicken topping was the best. the pepperoni was average.
Then I whipped together a quick dinner for 8 (Barb's son and his family, Barb's ex-husband and his SO). A quick red sauce for spaghetti with turkey sausages and turkey meatballs. As I reminded Cloner this morning, we will be cooking when I'm back in December. I'm thinking of a movable feast: Perhaps a dinner a week for a few weeks, different home each time. Discuss among yourselves. Title: Re: What are you cooking tonight? Post by: nicrosato on November 17, 2009, 06:50:28 PM Hey- I made tacos tonight for the first time. Not authentic, except maybe authentic nicasaurus-style. Whole-wheat tortilla, ground chicken, baby spinach, onion, feta cheese, diced red pepper and tomatoes. And tabasco (no chile's here). They tasted much better than they looked.
Title: Re: What are you cooking tonight? Post by: ducducgooseme on November 18, 2009, 03:58:23 AM Holy crap those sound good. Any leftovers you could send? ;D
Title: Re: What are you cooking tonight? Post by: nicrosato on November 18, 2009, 06:25:46 AM I will be cooking in ABQ beginning Dec 10.
Title: Re: What are you cooking tonight? Post by: nicrosato on December 14, 2009, 06:29:57 PM OK- I am here and I am in full-kitchen mode. It is therapy from my last week in NY, cleaning out and demolishing the basement and beginning water-proofing and electrical work. Anyway...
I would be glad to host a dinner next week. I think 8 people would be good, could stretch to 10 (it's a small house). I like the formality of sit-down dinners instead of buffets, but if we are going to have multiple cooks, then perhaps a buffet is a good idea. Let me know if anyone is interested. Warming up, tonight I tried something a little different: I dredged some thin-sliced pork chops in a mixture of corn meal, seasoned bread crumbs and cayenne pepper. Sauteed them part-way in olive oil, then set them aside. I then sauteed some red onion, garlic, mushrooms and artichoke hearts (the type that are jarred in oil) in olive oil. Added a little red wine and a few tablespoons of orange juice and let it cook down. Added the pork back in to finish cooking, then removed it. Tossed in some al dente spaghetti. Served the chops over the pasta with a garnish of cilantro. Very delicate taste, even from my heavy hands. Title: Re: What are you cooking tonight? Post by: Cloner on December 15, 2009, 03:26:00 AM I'm down, Nic! I told you I'd make Cannoli, so let me know when and where and I'll fry a batch up this weekend.
Ummmmmmmm. Title: Re: What are you cooking tonight? Post by: nicrosato on December 21, 2009, 10:21:32 AM I PM'd a few of you suggesting that we put together a pot-luck buffet. Barbara and I could host. Small house, but we could accommodate around 12. I first thought of next Tuesday, because it's traditional Duc Night here, but now I'm thinking that Sat or Sun would work because Christmas Day is Friday. Anyway, let's talk...
Also, since I am, I believe, the token person of Italian descent here, I have been thinking of cecking out Tully's for provisions. Anyone familiar with them? Title: Re: What are you cooking tonight?

Title: Re: What are you cooking tonight? Post by: nicrosato on December 22, 2009, 06:58:35 AM Tully's- Well, by NY standards, it has a meager selection. We went into the attached bakery and I was amazed by how expensive everything was.
For the way I cook, I prefer to adapt locally-available food. Tully's did have an OK selection of imported pasta, so there's that. Toscano's- Eaten there several times in the past. I thought it was good. I have friends of Brazilian descent back east and have eaten in the "authentic" places, but Toscano's would hold up well in comparison. If any of you ever get to NY, you might want to check out the very vibrant Portuguese community in Newark, NJ. Title: Re: What are you cooking tonight?

Title: Re: What are you cooking tonight? Post by: dusty on December 23, 2009, 04:24:24 PM Does sound very delicious. I am curious, though. Why does the posole with oxtail take 2 days? Mine only takes 1. I must be doing something wrong. :-\

mmmmmm Title: Re: What are you cooking tonight? Post by: Diavolo on December 26, 2009, 11:06:10 PM The recipe (just easier to post it than to send it out)
BEST CARROT CAKE 2 cups sugar ¾ cup buttermilk ¾ cup vegetable oil 3 eggs, beaten 2 tsp Vanilla extract 2 cups all-purpose flour (+¼ cup for high altitude) 2 tsp ground cinnamon 2 tsp baking soda ½ tsp salt 2 cups grated carrots 1 cup chopped pecans 8oz crushed pineapple, drained 3½ oz flaked coconut (opt.) Buttermilk glaze Cream cheese frosting Preheat oven to 350F. Combine first 5 ingredients, beat well. Combine flour, soda, salt and cinnamon; add to sugar mixture, stirring well. Add carrots, pecans, pineapple and coconut; stir well. Pour batter into 3 greased and floured 9-inch pans with parchment placed in the bottom. Bake for 35 – 40 minutes, pour buttermilk glaze onto cakes after they have cooled 5 minutes. Let cool in pans 15 minutes, then chill in the freezer. I used a buttered wire rack and flipped them on the backs of the cake tins (paper to tin, sticky side up) and placed them on open racks in the freezer until they were no longer warm to the touch, about 30 minutes . BUTTERMILK GLAZE 1 cup sugar ½ cup buttermilk ½ cup butter 1 Tbsp light corn syrup ½ tsp baking soda 1 tsp vanilla extract Combine first 5 ingredients in saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, cooking 4 minutes stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla carefully. 1½ cups. Adjust use to taste. All the glaze makes a VERY candy-like cake. CREAM CHEESE FROSTING 8 oz cream cheese, softened ½ cup butter 16 oz powdered sugar 1 tsp vanilla extract Combine cream cheese and butter, beat at medium speed until smooth. Add sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Stir in vanilla. Only use a very light coat between layers and a skim coat on the cake. Let the skim coat harden overnight and frost the cake again in a nice, casual swirl pattern. Otherwise, you may run out of frosting. Title: Re: What are you cooking tonight? Post by: Diavolo on December 26, 2009, 11:24:27 PM Does sound very delicious. I am curious, though. Why does the posole with oxtail take 2 days? Mine only takes 1. I must be doing something wrong. :-\ OK, here is how I do mine, ymmv. for each bag of frozen posole kernels, I start with ~2.5 pounds of fresh oxtails. I roast them in the oven at about 300F until they are dark brown with a half inch of water in the bottom of the pan, and the skin gets crispy and the drippings in the pan are just about dried out. I pull the roasting pan out and deglaze the pan with water, then dump the tails and water into a stock pot. Get to a boil and add about double the water it looks like I need then I boil it very slowly with the lid on for 8 hours or when I wake up. After the tails fall apart (the next morning) I strain the stock thru a mesh screen and clean my pot, throw the broth in and add 5 pounds of lean pork shoulder (all fat trimmed off) and boil it for an hour. Then I fish out the meaty bits and place them in the fridge, let the broth cool enough to handle and filter it thru clean cotton jersey material until I get a sparkling clear broth This takes FOREVER and lots of rinsing out the cloth filter). Once my broth is clear I throw in the rinsed posole, a tablespoon of crushed garlic, ground cumin and ground oregano, a teaspoon of turmeric and a teaspoon of cardamom and about 5 tablespoons of hot red chile powder (as a start). I wait about 45 minutes, then add all the meat and a whole chopped onion and a LARGE pinch of kosher salt. At this point, I add chile powder until I get a color closely resembling the skin of an blood orange and then start adding habanero sauce (I like red Yucateca) until the heat is right where I want it. I also adjust the salt and usually end up adding another tablespoon of crushed garlic at the end. I boil it until it just starts to bloom (pods open) then shut it off and cool it down quick. Package in zip lock bags and place them in pots for transport, then throw them in the fridge until I am ready to go. Once on location, I dump the bags into the pots and bring them to a boil. I got tired just looking at what I did... I need a nap. Title: Re: What are you cooking tonight? Post by: nicrosato on December 27, 2009, 08:06:16 AM Now, this has become an interesting thread.
I cook most days, so I'm practiced at "everyday" cooking. This is true in NY when I'm working at home & not traveling, and when I'm here in ABQ. Tried this for dessert last week- Strawberries w/sugar & balsamic vinegar. Wash strawberries, drain, cut into bite-sized pieces. About an hour before serving stir in sugar (about 3 Tblspns per pound of strawberries). Just before seving, toss with balsamic vinegar ( 1 Tblspn per pound). It is much better than you might think. Title: Re: What are you cooking tonight? Post by: Zaster on January 20, 2010, 05:53:43 PM Had my first encounter with Italian wedding soup with meatballs tonight....damn good stuff...thanks Pam.
Title: Re: What are you cooking tonight? Post by: Cloner on January 21, 2010, 06:15:18 AM Had my first encounter with Italian wedding soup with meatballs tonight....damn good stuff...thanks Pam. I love that stuff, too, Karl. I'm not a fan of spinach, but I can forgo my hatred in the case of wedding soup! Ummmmmmmm. Title: Re: What are you cooking tonight? Post by: nicrosato on March 24, 2011, 07:32:09 PM This stint in ABQ I've tried a few new twists:
Linguine w/clam sauce- saute, as usual, some garlic in olive oil. A little sea salt and some fresh ground black pepper. Since fresh clams are not an option here in the desert, I used (2) cans of clams. I poured the juice in with the garlic and oil, then added about 1/2 cup of orange juice. When that simmered, added 1/2 stick of butter. After the butter melted, stirred in about 3/4 cup of minced artichoke hearts (the jarred kind, in oil), and finally the clams. Simmered quickly and tossed with the linguine. Garnished with chopped cilantro. With guests coming tomorrow evening, I am rolling out a new dish made with fresh, home-made pasta. I'll report on that after the dinner so I have an honest reaction. Dessert will be something I have not made in a while: Grilled peach sections. I prepare a marinade by simmering orange juice & honey in a sauce pan. Near the end, I add some Malibu Rum. I let the peach sections soak in this juice for a few hours in the fridge. Grill until soft and slightly dark. Hint: If you take the left-over marinade and add some ice and some more Malibu Rum, then mix it in a blender to the consistency of a Slurpy, you have a drink we like to call the "Barbarita". Title: Re: What are you cooking tonight? Post by: Cloner on March 24, 2011, 09:43:11 PM The Barbarita, huh? Sounds like something Ashley would like!
