Maggie’s THE "NOM NOM NOM" THREAD

My lady says that "sourdough is played out". I say that tasty is tasty! My consistency is still hit or miss, but they always taste good..

Yes would have helped to show them better.

Two dark ones are Ancho, triangle / pear shapped, a few used.rich deep flavor.

Pasilla, long dark spicey strong. A couple used.

And the main chili used for my bowl of red or other chili sauces Guajillo long red ones. Think of those as the base and any others the spice notes.

Find a Mexican market and buy from bulk bins. Get a big pile of the Guajillo's and small amounts of others that smell good.

The chilies should be pliable like leather and you might want to use disposable latex type gloves while digging around and smelling them.

Sky is the limit.

Don't forget to fry your sauce in a pan with a little oil as the last step.
Those dried chilies are the key to achieve depth of flavor. I just started using them more often and the difference is night and day. And yes, frying the sauce. Rick Bayless books taught me quite a bit lol

Now that the weather is getting real nice in New England, we dine outside last night with one heater going.

Made fillet and poached lobster in a saffron butter sauce last night for the Mrs.

I do have to say that it was mighty tasty

Some strip tease then. Ready for the oven, will sit in fridge until this evening and then back in the oven @ 425 for 20 minutes, then about 3-5 with the convection going to crisp it up real goodView attachment 7624733View attachment 7624734


Ok, I'm gonna have to put this on the list of things to do. I mean it! But no Peas! And as a side note, I'm willing to bet we've got over a hundred people running around here with THEE EXACT SAME HAND TOWEL! :ROFLMAO:
 
prep for El Zing Salsa. This was a double batch for sharing, and I would add another Hungarian wax, if not also two more jalepenos next time for a better heat balance. Obviously that’s a taste thing and you sensitive New Englanders maybe should not add the extra peppers. 😎

One pan wonder.
Texas sloppy Joe .

1 1/2 lb burger or pork.
2/3 can of Hatch green chili enchilada sauce.
Aboul half a cup to start of favorite BBQ sauce half a large onion diced and your favorite spices.

Put the BBQ sauce in last and turn down heat so as not to burn the sugars to the bottom.

Okay, so I forgot to take a fancy picture of the results, but after sharing with a couple neighbors, this is what’s left. And it is yummy! Secret ingredients include key lime juice and a dash of sugar. Let soak in fridge for a few hours.

You guys are slacking. Today was some sautéed onions, baby bella mushrooms, and a hard seared ny strip. Had some potato salad, but didn’t need it after all.
