The TA Recipe Thread (now with extra cries for help!)

Lets go, post them up.

I know this thread exists but i couldn't find it.

I have not cooked in awhile, been eating out too much, so i decided to put my skills to use today with a fusion inspire recipe (traditional pot roast with Moroccan style twist).

Pot Au Feu A La Maroccaine Epice (serves 4)

what you will need.

1 1000 gram Boneless Bottom Blade Roast
4 garlic cloves crushed and roughly chopped
1 large spanish onion sliced thinly.
Basmati Rice
1 preserved Moroccan lemon (comes in a jar, ethnic food section)
Moroccan Black Olives (in a jar, already pitted and preserved in special spices)
8oz cremini mushrooms (sliced, i prefer thicker pieces)
8oz white button mushrooms (sliced)
1 can whole cherry tomatoes (with juice)
250ml dry red wine
harissa paste (ethnic section )
ground cumin
bay leaves
2 table spoons aged sherry vinegar
coarse fresh ground pepper and kosher salt

*********

Start by seasoning the roast (best done an hour before cooking so that the flavor can permeate the meat.)
Rub with the harissa paste evenly all over the meat, repeat with cumin, then repeat again with ground pepper to taste (pepper acts as a sealant ) Use a very small amount of kosher salt, you do not want to dry the meat!
********

In a large pot (this works best in a dutch over styled pot or a crockpot, but anything deep will do!) over med high heat with olive oil, caramelize the onions, adding the garlic halfway through cooking time to prevent burning (burnt garlic ruins dishes). When the onions have a nice colour, remove them from the heat.

In the same pot (add a little more oil) over medium high heat, brown the blade roast on both sides for a few minutes per side. Add back the onions and garlic once this is done. Throw in the wine, the can of cherry tomatoes (normal tomatoes work too, just make sure they are whole, whole tomatoes have more flavour. I prefer cherry tomatoes because they are sweeter.!), 4 bay leaves, the sherry vinegar (rounds out the tomatoes sweetness you don't need much), a touch more cumin and salt and pepper to taste.

Reduce the heat and cover and simmer for roughly 2.5 hours(time will vary depending on the size of the roast.) After 2.5 hours add the sliced cremini and button mushrooms on top of the meat. Do not worry if you think there will not be enough liquid, mushrooms are made mostly of water. If you are in doubt a touch more wine never hurt.) Cover and simmer for another 30 to 45 minutes. The meat is done when it flakes to the slight touch of a fork. Remove the bay leaves and serve over basmati rice with preserved lemon and Moroccan olives .

*****

Prepare the desired amount of rice according to the package. Add the finely chopped preserved lemon and coarsely chopped Moroccan olives (to taste, but remember not to add to much, they are spicy and the star of the show is the meat, not the rice!) (finish with a touch of fresh chopper corriander or cilantro, whatever they call it where you live)

******

eat. the best wine for this would be a dry one, preferably the one used to cook, so don't use shit cooking wine!

*******
Pot Au Feu A La Maroccaine Epice.....

DONE!



post your recipes up YES? (unless you are slylee yes! save the pre package stuffed for bad goatees yes!)

Hey, that looks great! I'm a huge fan of mushrooms, anyone have any good mushroom recipes? I'm especially interested in using ones that are different than your average white buttons and portabellas, maybe some shiitake or specialty mushrooms?

Anything with white buttons or baby/regular portabellas are fine too! Thanks

easy one i do is a crispy shitake mushroom tuna melt.

slice the shitake mushrooms thinly, brown them in a pan in olive oil until they get crispy. (shitake mushrooms will get crispy because they have hardly any water in them.) Salt + pepper + touch of japanese soy sauce.

lightly sear a nice thick tuna fillet (undercook it slightly it is better rare and still has to go in the oven) Season it with salt and pepper. (you could do the canned stuff, but it isnt anywhere near as good.)

cut a 12 grain ciabata in half. Butter the bread with garlic butter and chili oil. Put even portions of the tuna on each. Top with the mushrooms and grated smoked gouda cheese. Stick under the broiler until the cheese is gooey, not crispy. (the fish will be over cooked by that time)

eat

masturbate

profit.

i usually condemn fish and cheese, but this works.

i made this on saturday night, and it was gone by sunday evening. it's incredibly simple yet delicious, and it doesn't cost a lot to make or dirty up a lot of dishes (major points for me considering my kitchen isn't the most convenient to cook in). i highly recommend it for any mac & cheese lover.

you forgot lemon. lemon + shrimp = win.

if you have hot sauce, use it as dipping sauce and that's delicious.

however, if you have hoison sauce, that's it. i'm sitting and eating for hours on end.

just because i like some packaged/frozen shit doesn't mean i have horrible taste in food. i can hang w/ the iron chef-like recipes too. i love trying new exotic stuff but i also love my green giant cheesey broccoli, cauliflower & carrots ok?!


Posted by enydo on Apr-06-2009 22:11:

I went to Chow Baby last night and made the most disgusting plate of shit ever.

Good thing it's all you can eat!

Fuck that... too much work for too little of a reward. Only sloppy cajun mouth-breathers get down on crawfish

lol. I mean, you know... if someone's gonna do the work for me then, yeah I'll pop them shits like skittles all day. �touff�e w/ crawfish in Savannah or Charleston = win!


Posted by elFreak on Apr-06-2009 22:17:

all i am saying is they have more taste.

Eating a piece of chicken is easier then taking the shit bag out of the lobster, i would still pick the lobster every day of the week:P

I think the thing i hate the most in life is paying 60+ $ for a plate of surf and turf and getting a lobster with the shit bag still in it. I've killed people for less


Posted by The17sss on Apr-06-2009 22:19:

I hear you man. I love blue crab too, but hell if I'm gonna work a scapel for an hour to get barely enough of the goods to enjoy it. I'd rather pay more for king crab legs and make it easy.


Posted by elFreak on Apr-06-2009 22:21:

food always tastes better if people die to get it, just like blood diamonds are nicer because they mean a few less...
