/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Looks good op, where'd you get the recipe for your side? I'm used to seeing most veggie sides served on their own.

I had a burger and waffle fries, it's been a long week already and it was either this or chili mac...

>>10965284
Wtf is on your carrots...

>>10965329
Jacque Pepin has some videos on youtube, just look for "carrots with shallots" and you'll find it.

>>10965333
Shallots and chives...

>>10965284
asian nigger here, how do I make taco spice mix
I've been craving for some taco ever since my last trip to texas

>>10965284
That looks great OP. I'm about to cook a ribeye

nothing gayer on /ck/ than faggots trying to 'mo it up and make a thread about cooking

>>10965361
Mostly chili powder, some cumin, salt, garlic powder, onion powder (or dehydrated onion). If you like spicier throw in some cayenne or paprika.

>>10965363
Thanks!

>>10965371

very good stuff

>>10965377
can I just use garlic and onion, for some reason it's actually really hard to find just onion and garlic powder where I live, I did find garlic salt and onion pepper though

>>10965284
eggplant

>>10965385
That sounds good, almost like a goulash. Do you have a recipe and/or pictures?

>>10965398
Absolutely, though if they're fresh ingredients you won't want to add them at the same time as the seasoning. Brown your beef with the onions, then add the garlic and saute over high for a minute or so. Lastly, add your homemade seasoning with some water and then simmer over medium-high for a couple of minutes until it thickens a bit and the beef is broken up.

>>10965413
Done how? Eggplant parm? Baked? In a soup or stew?

looks sweet OP hope you enjoyed it. I make shepherd's pie a fair bit - reminds me of what my parents would often cook me

>>10965467
I like those kinds of nostalgic stories, anon. What was their recipe like? I adapted my recipe from a Ramsay video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_GNznvIN1E)) but when I was in college I made a "shepherd's pie" from frozen veggies, potatoes o'brien, and cream of mushroom. The more you look around, the more you realize it's such a catchall for a huge variety of styles and ingredients.

spaghetti and meat sauce like every other night

>>10965459
sliced eggplant fried on low heat in butter and olive oil, fried some garlic in butter and added a rich tomato sauce, topped the eggplant with said garlic & tomato sauce and lots of grated cheese, served the whole thing with wholegrain rice on the side, simple, rich and tasty, had some Greek pasta-salad a'la OutOfGum as a sort of aperitif - all organic ingredients, was nice..

>>10965580
absolutely based. certainly no worse than a shepherd's/cottage pie

>>10965591
That sounds legit as hell dude, well done. I'd totally accept an invite for a dinner party at your place.

>>10965580
>>10965593
Agreed. Nothing like a good meaty spaghetti sauce to make you feel comfy as fuck. Thanks for sharing, anons!

>>10965580
I occasionally do macaroni and meat sauce for that cafeteria feel

>>10965621
Or the equally famous macaroni, can of chili, shredded cheddar! It's poorfag as fuck but god damnit, that's my heritage.

>>10965640
Cincinnati mac

>>10965650
Is that what it's called in Cincinnati? I'm a rockies guy so we just called it chili mac.

>>10965284
Not sure yet. Thinking either jerk chicken with chinese greens and lime cilantro rice,
Or else some udon with skrimps and mushrooms and peppers, side of haricots almondine.
May post pics, but probably won't bother.

>>10965669
Do it! One picture of it plated, anon, come on. I'd like to see it. Both sound good though I think I'm more interested in seeing the latter dish, especially the haricots almondine.

>>10965363
Here's the ribeye after the flip

>>10965687
I gotta take out the trash and clean my kitchen and then put away my grocieries and shit first so its gonna be like 4-5 hours at least before I have finished the cooking.
Gonna have a gin and Polar brand dry orange seltzer and watch either Tombstone or one of the Aliens movies while I cook.
I will probably pop back in here when I'm done with a poorly focused drunk picture if its still going.

>>10965715
Looking good, dude! Steak au poivre? Basted with butter and garlic and herbs? What sides are you making?

>>10965717
Anyone else permanently keep a laptop in the kitchen so you can watch shit while you cook?

>>10965715
Rare

>>10965284
Chicken-fried steak and mashed potatoes

>>10965724
Nope, but the living room is just around the corner. I always like a familiar show or some loud music while I cook.

>>10965729
Nice! I'd prefer another 30s per side but that looks great.

>>10965724
I always bring my phone to the kitchen thinking I'll watch some videos or listen to some podcasts, but then I start cooking and then I just forget about my phone all together until I'm finished cooking

french toast, cause i have some stale bread and a few eggs.

>>10965723
>>10965759
Thanks. Not steak au poivre, just salt, a shit load of pepper and in the pan. No oil, no butter, no sauce. I also had some cabbage sauteed in bacon grease that I made last night, wasn't picture worthy.

My dog had some pork cutlets

>>10965738
I wish you wouldn't have ruined it with green memes

I'm making Bungalow Pie tomorrow, then Algerian Toast for the next breakfast.

>>10965885
I googled these. No clear results for either.
Please elucidate me.

>>10965807
Where did the vegetables touch you?

>>10965905

I could come up with an elaborate lie but I was just joking around.

Bungalow pie could be beef covered with coleslaw and algerian toast could be french toast spiced with caraway and cumin.

>>10965738
Very nice! I'd eat the heck out of that.

>>10965795
PUPPER!

>>10965885
I wanted these to be real, damn you.

>>10965940
Well you sort of got me. I look up recipes when I'm bored.

>>10965284

>>10966038
Been there, brother. Hang tough, and I hope things are okay with you.

>>10966038
>>10966069
I hope I get hired at my local hospital soon. Not having quality food sucks so much.

>>10966081
You can do it, my dude! No lie, if you need interview or resume help that's one of my specialties (like I legit do it for my job). Holler if you need some help and I'll throw you an email address.

No pics of mine, but I made gyoza and rice for dinner. Most of the gyoza were filled with the traditional pork, cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, green onions, etc., but I also made some spinach/feta/bacon ones.

>>10966038
I had the almost exact same thing anon

I'm cooking some boring burritos. Flour tortillas warmed in the oven, browned ground beef with generic "taco seasoning", white rice, cheddar cheese and maybe some pepper jack if I can be bothered. Should be edible if I don't mess it up.

>>10966274
Damn, that sounds good. Do you make your own dough for the wrappers or do you use spring roll sheets or something else? I've always wanted to try these but have felt out of my element.

>>10966313
Sounds decent, if simple. If you have any beans or refried beans in your cupboard, those would make a nice addition, too.

>>10965717
Alright. Cooking some carrots in a cinnamon butter, some asparagas, some pardina lentils with olives and feta, and some very meaty pork backribs. Gonna pressure cook them to tenderize, then throw them in the broiler. Not sure on the sauce option yet. Thinking either sweet baby ray's, or else reduce some kalbi marinade with a bit of hot sauce as a glaze.

>>10966742
Looks good dude

Home baked peetzer.

Cold cubed extra firm tofu marinated in fish sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, chili powder, chili sauce, garlic, ginger, thin sliced jalapenos, thin sliced cucumber, scallions, basil, mint and cilantro. Served as a salad over mesclun. It's good. A light and refreshing dinner for a hot day, with plenty of flavor to make it satisfying.

>>10966792
die

Really feeling like some pasta with olive oil and lightly mixed in cheese but I know some asshole I live with will spot it, fill it with meat sauce and tell me they did me a favour, currently too depressed that it will not be homemade. Maybe some basmati and steamed veg.

>>10966950
>he hates the peetzer
but ...why?

tomato cucumber blue and areesh cheese salad, black pepper lemon mustard chicken with spicy babba ghanoush, sauteed carrots w/ onions, mixed bell peppers and creamy mashed potatoes (with the skin), sprite, and an apple

>>10966792

>>10967399
Did you use an ice cream scooper to scoop the potatoes?

pls no bully

>>10966792

looks good

>>10967666
a ladle, but I've seen IC scoops used at some old timey diners

>>10967669
Its American cheese on top, what's the sauce?

>>10967666
no but i thought about it and was initially going to use it because i heard about it somewhere

i used a 1 cup measuring scoop
>>10967681
w- why are you trying to pose as me?

>>10965917
This is good

>>10967730
It's an old meme pic with "vegan cheese"

>>10967669
The topping looks like a grey shopping bag covered in melted processed cheese.

>>10967669
I already have this picture.

Having a buffet.
>Somehow mindfucked into putting thousand island sauce, wasabi soy sauce (not actually wasabi/soy sauce but some salad toppings based on them) and yuzu sauce into same salad
Fortunately they aren't asking/staring at me when i discard the entire dish

Some good ol salmon and chips

>>10966742
That looks really good, anon, nice job. I'd eat the heck out of that.

>>10966792
Looking solid. Plain cheese?

>>10967399
Feels comfy, man.

>>10967889
Lol... yeah, I'm not sure what you were thinking with that one. That buffet shame.

>>10967904
Great color on the fish! Did you use a glaze or marinade? Looks like it was done in a pan and not broiled, right?

Thanks everybody for posting your dinners, I always enjoy when I good thread manages to take off a bit.

At work now. Planning on making some simple pork chops on a skillet to oven with a horseradish/mustard cream sauce and cilantro rice on the side.

I made dis

>>10969691
why is it on a dog food dish?

>>10969702
Thats just the plates that came with the trailer, i live on an oil rig

>>10969691
The shrimp alfredo is done too

>>10969220
Do you have a recipe for your cream sauce? Is it a sauce you need to cook down or do you add it all together and just mix it up?

>>10969691
Looks decent but I think your photograph is fighting against you on this one. The pink plate, direct top-down look of the steak, and side lighting make it a little unflattering.

How limited is your cooking on an oil rig? Tell us a story, anon.

>>10969717
>>10969691
Sear it next time

>>10969722
My dad and i work out here but for different companies, he does on shore drilling, and i do competions, thing is my companies living arrangements blows cock, while he gets a whole double wide with an office to himself because he is a supervisor, so i drive the hour from my location to his, and i mealprep, its not hard out here if you actually buy groceries, you just have to drive the hour or 2 to actually go get groceries

>>10969723
I tried man it got some sear but i guess i didnt heat the pan enough, it was smoking

>>10969739
Maybe it's just the contrast or something, you know with the plate and all

Going to try natto for the first time..

>>10969742
Probably food photography is pretty fancy and i am not exactly talented at it

>>10969756
Isn't that just rotten beans?

>>10969737
I was actually going to ask about that, I saw the containers. At least you've got a more convenient method of feeding yourself rather than roughing it. Thanks for sharing.

>>10969756
Eek! Report back, I've heard about it and am scared. Stringy, sticky fermented soybeans... hold me, anon.

>>10969759
Who cares, I'd eat that steak. I am sure Taytay approves, too

>>10969763
Heres the meals

>>10969766
Thanks based tay

>>10969770
Looks legit, well done. Meal prep can really be amazing and that grilled chicken in particular looks great. And if you'll excuse me being your mom for a moment, add some veggies! I know that some of them don't hold up well to reheating, but brassicas (particularly broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, and even cabbage) are particularly good in that regard. Carrots and green beans are also standouts.

>>10969789
Gotcha covered, i got cans of green beans and carrots to heat up, i usually eat the whole can with that and im extra full

>>10969797
My man. Sorry to have doubted you, but considering where we're posting...

Beef shank is good

>>10969825
What's that going to end up as?

>>10969813
Gotta get them vitamins

>>10965284
I've got two smoked Mackerel in the fridge /ck/, any reccomendations for what to cook with them?

>>10969870
Just let them get to room temp slowly and enjoy. No need to fuck with fresh, smoked fish

>>10969877
let me rephrase that, what should I have with them? I'm thinking grilled asparagus.

>>10969883
That would be good. I was thinking greens personally, you want a fairly light side with a fatty fish like that. What carbs were you thinking? Even something as simple as garlic bread would be great, but potatoes or a pilaf would be just fine, too.

>>10969831
crispy

>>10969766
slightly gayer post than the brony pizza

>>10969944
Can't go wrong with being slightly gay

>>10969901
Probably steamed potatoes, little bit of butter with them.

>>10965284
Pie looks great, I'm not huge on glazed carrots but would definitely enjoy that. Nice.

>>10965715
>>10965729
Lil rare for my taste but looks good.

>>10965738
absolutely delicious. Not used to the scallions on top but I could see that being good. Really makes me want to make this, I need up my gravy game.

>>10966038
college

>>10966274
never made it, definitely on the list.

>>10966742
looks nice, would be interested to try this.

>>10966792
interesting.. I'm into the red pepper flakes but not the kid's meal statue in back.

>>10967399
seems like a weird mix of items.. but I bet your shit like a king.

>>10967904
easy meal, fish looks great.. I would want some kind of sauce I think but honestly looks enjoyable.

>>10969220
Interesting, I'd try it.

>>10969691
something looks wrong with this.. Doesn't look gross or anything but something is a little off. Maybe not enough sear? I'm sure it was enjoyable though.

>>10969717
yeah I'd eat it.

>>10969770
nice, I wana get on that meal prep shit. chicken looks a little overcooked.

>Trying to eat a little better, made tilapia on cooked black beans with some salsa on top. It was way nicer than I expected. This was a few days ago, I'm eating some leftover bullshit tonight prob.

>>10970166
Good start, it could use a salad or some veggies on the side. Meal prep isn't as bad as you might think, it's easy to get into. Find a recipe that meets your health goals and cook like you're making dinner for 3-4 people. Doesn't take much more time than for one and then you're set for half the week. Too many folks make meal prep out to seem like you have to cook special "meal prep" things but I just cook for a family and eat for myself over a couple of days. Chilis, stews, casseroles (like the pie I made in OP), soups, whatever.

Boneless chicken leg with mixed vegetables

>>10970920
ew, it's so watery did you boil it or something gross, and those look like microwaved plastic veggies, amerifat detected

>>10970166
Pretty solid and comfy meal anon

>>10969770
Looking solid friendo meal prepping is great

>>10969717
Looks tasty, ditch the plate though unless your a female, it looks faggy af.

>>10967904
No sauce???

>>10967399
Looks comfy

>>10966742
Poo in loo, looks delicious

>>10966274
look baby put frozen grease stickers in the stove and prepared it nicely!

>>10966038
I hate americans

>>10965738
Looks very well prepared and plated my friend

>>10965729
>>10965715
Americans really do love putting their drowning their steaks in lard and every spice they have available in their cupboard dont they

>>10965284
Looks bland and nutrient barren

Just some good ol'spaghetti Bolognese that I made the other day.
An otherwise decent recipe that I have for it adds cubed celery root and carrot, didn't really like that tho.

Marinated 4 chicken thighs in mojo, and 4 in jerk chicken sauz for 24 hours. Heating up the oven right now cuz I don't have a grill.
Gonna throw some zucchini in there as well cuz they've been sitting on the countertop for weeks.
And.... I'm not sure of the third option. Maybe some pieroguis. Anyone have a suggestion?

>>10965284
Roast beef, potatoes and artichokes.
No sauce on the beef but it was juicy anyway.

>>10971987
Ugh. Mojo marinade is fucking gross.
I secretly knew it would be, but I did it anyhow.
>Sour orange juice and spices.
>What was I expecting?
I now have sour chicken. Goddamnit.
>$4 wasted
Jerk chicken is good tho.

>>10972307
Now you're talking. A healthy meal and a good mix of nutrition and reasonable portion.
You da real mvp.

>>10971757
Not sure you have autism, but you're certainly fucked n the head.

>>10965284
A burger and sauteed broccoli. Was pretty alright, but I oversalted one of the patties a bit and the sauce I made wasn't the best. Tomorrow it'll be better since the onions I quick-pickled will have had time in the fridge and I'm going to make a more simple mayonnaise sauce and maybe top it with a fried egg. Broccoli was just salt, pepper, and chili paste and was sauteed up in the drippings from the burger for some extra flavor.

Cheap and quick lunch, can't stand it for more than twice a month tho.

All the veg except the brown rice were from my garden.

>>10965284
would eat
but i will have hot sauce with the cottage pie

>>10972657
Ah, I must have gave you criticism on your meal. Which one were you? Can't take the heat stay out of the kitchen.

>>10972630
>steak and fried potatoes
"healthy"

>>10972630
Thanks buddy. It wos gud.

>>10969770
to many carbs, add veggies

>>10972609
Citrus can actually work fairly well as a marinade, but maybe yours just had a cruddy balance. I make my own out of the juice from 2 oranges, some garlic and ginger, soy sauce, a little salt and pepper, and a drizzle of sesame oil.

>>10972307
Looks solid.

>>10972718
Now we're talking. Nothing better than picking vegetables for dinner, I bet those cukes and tomatoes were bomb.

>>10971757
>bland and nutrient barren
>healthy portion of lean meat, not too many carbs, veggies both in the pie and on the side
I guess you wouldn't know all that from just a picture or maybe you've had awful pie, so it's easy to forgive your awful guess.

>>10965284
You made me hungry!

>>10973122
>chorizo slop "healthy lean meat"
LOL you really think mexishart chorizo is lean meat my god your delusional
>veggies
oh woah a half a cup of carrots and some shallots, DENSE AF BRO!!!!


my god americans are mind numbingly stupid

>>10973140
>americans are stupid
Says the guy that thinks chorizo goes in shepherd's pie.

>>10971757
>Americans really do love putting their drowning their steaks in lard and every spice they have available in their cupboard dont they

Wow what a retard. The steak >>10965715 had only salt and pepper and I used no butter, lard, or oil at all. Dry pan. Are non-Americans really this fucking dumb?

>>10973140
>my god americans are mind numbingly stupid

Yes. Yes they are.

>>10972693
made me giggle

>>10972718
that's dope

>>10969722
>Do you have a recipe for your cream sauce?

-preheat oven to 350
-brown pork chops on one side in skillet with 2 tbsp. veg oil
-flip them in skillet, throw in oven for 25 min.
-take chops out, let rest
-drain excess oil, put 1/2 cup chicken broth in skillet on med-high, bring to boil
-loosen up the chunks of chop and stuff by scraping
-mix up 2-4 tbsp. heavy whipping cream, and mustard/horseradish/cayenne pepper to taste
-whisk into the broth for 3-4 minutes until it thickens a bit
-take off heat and whisk in 1 tbsp. of cold butter
-throw on top of chops/rice

>>10973104
Nigger you didn't even bother to fill in the gap in your knowledge.
Mojo is made using sour oranges, its sour as fuck.
And so is my chicken.

Thinking of getting Mexican tonight.
Probably a couple of tacos and a torta
