What Did Ya'll Have For Dinner Tonight?

[CurSedVoyce]

I love that Jim.... Just a good down home meal. I should make some black eyed peas soon. Another down home for me.

Meat and potatoes last night. Got home late, started coming some venison, which is newer on my palate, and good. I just kept nibbling away. I'll east some extra vegetables today.

My wife cooked beef stir fry tonight. It was really good.

I recently discovered Sriacha sauce. The one with the green top and a bunch of different writing on it. I am addicted to it now. A little soy sauce and a LOT of Sriacha. All the wasted years!

I think it would even make vegetarian food good to eat.

Pulled pork with BBQ sauce on hogies

 

[FireFighterZero]

Man, I bet my wife would pretend its our anniversary if I made some pulled pork sandwiches. I dont know how to make it though.

Can ya hook a brother up Stephen?

 

[CurSedVoyce]

You betcha.
A pork butt roast.
at least a cup of sliced julienne bell pepper and onion.
Teaspoon of black pepper.
1/4 tsp crush red pepper
pinch of cayenne.
2 TBS of chili powder
Maybe 3.. maybe more.........
one TBS of cumin
One can of diced tomatoes or fresh...
Brown sugar if you like it sweet to taste. I personally just saute it in BBQ sauce after it cooks then serve when reduced.
TBS minced garlic
Crock pot the shat out of it over night and let set on warm all day.
Serve on a hogie.
Like I said.. best if you saute it in your favourite BBQ sauce right before you serve. Omit the brown sugar if you do.
Adjust all these for your taste. This is just a rough recipe in my head... I season visually and on my taste buds.
If you have some rendered beef stock, it won't hurt to add a tad (about 1 C). Same with chick stock.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Nice! Thanks. I shall try that tomorrow.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

YVW...
The reason I cook this pretty generic is that I can season it later as a left over in things like enchiladas etc.
I use the same for chicken.

It does

Sriracha must be a love it or hate it thing. I tried it a couple of times and didn't like it at all. I've tried a lot of hot sauces over the years, and I've found I like a more complex sauce. I used to be able to take the heat, but not so much anymore. Capitol Punishment was the worst, followed by Dave's Insanity Sauce, as far as being simply to hot to really enjoy.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Never used the stuff... hmmmmm.

 

[FireFighterZero]

I really like it Butch. Its kind of a hot chili and garlic sauce. It tastes good on chicken strips even.

What would your take on a more complex sauce be Dave? I dont mind heat but dont like the sauces that are heat above flavor.

 

[Dave Shepard]

I used to get a bunch of different sauces years ago. Ass Kickin' hot sauce was good. They have a whole line of different condiments. There was a tamarind hot sauce that I used to get, but I don't remember the name. It was almost like an A1 steak sauce hot sauce. You have to balance the heat with the flavor, and if it kills the flavor of the food, then what's the point of the food, other than a vehicle for the hot sauce?

Sriracha has become my additive of choice. Have to watch how spicy I make things with the young ones. I don't over do it for me either. Just hot enough to get my sinuses cleared up

With the high of 0 F today chili sounded good. Smells about right Itll be in the crock pot till about 5:30-6:00. Making a double batch so I have some good lunches this week at work

 

[Tucker943]

I put sriracha on everything I eat. Literally. It goes on the dinner table every night.

Rajska omaska. I think.

I tried to find a recipe on the internet. But it did not translate well. Czech cooking remains, along with most other eastern Euopean cooking, a mystery.

I need a recipe book, but one that would be approved by a eastern European grandmother. Know what I mean?

Here's one, there's another one in the comments. http://www.reddit.com/r/czech/comments/2mpig0/need_english_recipe_for_rajska_omacka/

I don't have a Czech cookbook but I do have a Hungarian one. I like Goulash, the one in here is much the same as mine. Cherished Czech Recipes: http://czechrecipes.blogspot.com.au/


Roast beef tonight with potato, carrot, sweet potato, broccoli and pumpkin of course.

My parents are Czechoslovakian. The secret is where it calls for cooking oil, that's all oils mixed together. Chicken broth, pork, beef, all mixed together..... at least that's what they do.

My favourite:
Swiss cheese fondue.
I absolutely love that stuff when it is made right.
I probably ate about 1½ pds of cheese, so Im feeling a bit bloated.
That is my only problem with fondue, the inability to stop in time.

 

[Dave Shepard]

I love cheese. There is no higher purpose for milk.

Pork butt slow cooked in root beer.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Our friend uses Dr. Pepper. Tastes fine.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Cooked a turkey for dinner while I was restin

 

[MasterBlaster]

Well, I'll have a drumstick and a few breast slices!!!

 

[FireFighterZero]

My wife will only cook a turkey for thanksgiving. She wont allow one to be cooked at other times. I LOVE turkey..

We had roast pork, salad, corn, mashed potatoes, beets and Hawaiian Punch for dinner.
