I hate cooking for just myself. When I have someone to cook for I'll cook elaborate meals, multiple items, multiple courses - but when I cook just for me (when I'm home alone basically) I cook the most crass boring meals ever.
Today I decided to "kick it up a notch" and make my sad solo-meals more interesting.
Some of you are going to laugh at this but (this is NOT how I usually cook dinner)...
--------------
TexiCali Macaroni & Cheese
1. Prepare your favorite Macaroni & Cheese recipe (for me it's melted Velveeta + shells). In my case I substituted the Velveeta with melted Monterey Jack (add a little milk to help with the melting of brick cheese and be sure to do it over medium-low heat [don't burn the milk!]).
2. Add Chipotle Pepper powder to taste.
3. Finely chop jalapeņo peppers and add them to the dish.
4. Stir.
I usually add regular black pepper to Mac'n'Cheese but I was surprised how unique the flavor was when adding Chipotle. The smoked nature of the pepper really comes through and if you cook the pasta al dante you almost feel as if you have some sort of TexiCali casserole on your hands.
Variation: add some crumbled saltine crackers to the dish for a tasty crunch.
--------------
This recipe makes me wonder what other variations are available on the Mac'n'Cheese recipe. I will report back when I have time to explore more options. |

Oh, here they are. Chicken roulades filled with parsley and smoked Gruyere cheese. SO GODDAMN GOOD, am I right? ;) Last time I went overboard with the Gruyere, so it was extra-cheesy, the way it should be all the time.
|
These roulades look yummy and easy to make too! I'll definately try this recipe. Will they be good if I make ahead and then re-heat in the oven? |

Slow Roasted Beef Ribs
1 bottle ketchup
1/2 cup maple syrup or honey
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fresh minced garlic (optional or to taste)
3 finely chopped green onions or 1/2 cup chives
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1 dash hot pepper sauce (optional)
4 lbs meaty beef ribs
--------------------------
1. In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients, except the beef, and adjust seasonings to taste (the sauce should have a good balance of sweet and savory flavors).
2. Place the ribs in a large bowl, and coat with the sauce.
Cover, and refrigerate for 2 hours or as long as 48 hours, turning the ribs every so often.
3. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
4. Drain the ribs (reserving the sauce), and place them in a large roasting pan, bone-side down.
5. Brush with sauce, and bake for 30 minutes.
6. Remove from oven, and turn the ribs over, brush with additional sauce, bake for another 30 minutes.
7. Turn one more time, brush with the remaining sauce, and bake for another 35-40 minutes, or until ribs are tender, basting every so often. |

Yohan's Pork with Potatoes in Curried sauce
Ingredients
1lb Pork
2 medium sized onions
1 large potato
1 large tsp Indian curry powder
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp salt
1 small tsp basil
1 small tsp oregano
1 small tsp thyme
1 larg tsp worcester sauce
1 small tsp rosemary
1 tsp sesame seed oil
1 large tsp olive oil
Another one of so called 'Yohan food', which is generally me getting bored and ing around in the kitchen. This one has the flavourful taste of the pork blended with the sweetness of potatoes and simmered onions, enhanced by the herbs with further added layers of taste from the blend of worcester sauce for sweetness and Indian curry for the tangyness.
Directions
-cut the pork into about 1" squares. Potatoes about 2" by 1" squares. Chop onions not too dicey
-on a pot, add olive oil and heat it. (Ensuring that the oil does not burn)
-add the veggies and pork into the pot
-add all the extra seasoning, minus the curry powder. Stir.
-cover the pot and simmer on medium heat for 5 mins
-get a bowl and add the curry powder into the bowl. Add 100mL of water to dissolve the powder.
-add the curry water into the pot. Stir, then let it simmer, occassionally turning.
-everything should be ready in about 10-15mins. Serves 3 people. |
