Sounds fancy, but was very simple. Used some inexpensive capulin caviar from an Xmas gift box from last year. Cream sauce was made with some crema mexicana and some bacon. Nice lunch using what was in the fridge.
This is my first stab at creating the rolls for Buffalo, NY’s beloved Beef on Weck. I could not believe how well they came out! Beginner’s luck.
A beautiful day to give expression in the form of food to the many blessings in my life. Too busy take “before” photos. Above is a shot of the leftovers. Everything – turkey, stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce – will be heated together to make our favorite sandwiches. These are more anticipated than today’s main event.
A sour-cream dough filled with duck confit. Boiled and then fried with chopped onions in some confit fat. Rib-sticking lunch for a very cold and windy day.
My dirty little secret: These are from a box! So beautiful and so delicious!
This casserole had a new twist for me. The fresh masa is dissolved in chicken stock. It is then fried in a little fresh lard until it is thick and shiny resulting in something akin to polenta. A layer of this masa was spread on the bottom of a casserole. The some pork in mole sauce was spread on top, then another layer of the masa on top of the mole. Baked in the oven for about an hour. Better than steamed tamales? Different animal. But it was outstanding. Next time, banana leaves will be involved.
From a Williams-Sonoma recipe. The recipe calls for 1 1/3 bottles of expensive pecan pumpkin butter. I simply made my own from scratch. Outstanding. I was just improvising the pecan pumpkin butter and wasn’t paying attention to the final amounts, so I hope can reproduce it.
I was making pizzas today and found a leftover dough-ball from last week. Not quite as good as the 2-day dough, but delicious none-the-less.
Just discovered that I can use my iSi whipper to make pancakes. These were the fluffiest ones I have ever had – just used my standard buttermilk batter. Had some trouble finding just the right consistency. The ones shown in the video were not the best. A later batch that was more aerated was awesome.
