Favorite personal dish: any single pan items finished with a pan sauce. Tonight was frenched chicken leg, spring tatoes' and asparagus with a garlic fenugreek pan sauce. I can cook better than I reef that's for sure haha.

I don't dish much, but I do BBQ. 1/2 fillet skin down until the fat starts to roll out like cream. (10-18 minutes depending on the humidity and the thickness of the fish. Sometimes longer if it was trophy fish or if the company likes it "well-done" done.)
My wife makes creamed corn to go on the side. Fantastic.

I just tried making Yorkshire pudding. first trial was ok, next time should be a bit closer to what I was aiming for. But that's a muffin pan, maybe not exactly a dish?

I was too busy giving my picky fishes some dinner so I skipped for tonight. But in all seriousness, grilled chicken and mashed potatoes.

Think of Yorkshire pudding more like a custard.. Screaming hot roasting pan, hot fat and then add the batter (it should look like a thin pancake batter) It should sizzle when you add it in. I am not a fan of making it in muffin pan as it never comes out right.

I'm simple just steam some crab legs for a few minutes and I'm set for my favorite meal. I sadly don't get them very often because my wife hates the smell and refuses to taste them. My kids like when mom goes out of town because they know it means we're eating crab legs.

However tonight I made taco salads, and spaghetti for the kids.

Left over baked ham and homemade scalloped potatoes from last night. My wife makes the BEST scalloped potatoes! I already ate all of the deviled eggs. I think she also made something green, but I didn't pay too much attention.

lol @ "I think she also made something green"

Thanks for the tip on the custard!

LOL @Auquanut - "Something green." (Save that for the Tangs .)

Tonight I'm thinking seafood. Grilled lobster tails, potatoes, asparagus and cheddar bay biscuits

 

[DDenny]

Shoot have a meeting at 6:30pm so will probably be leftovers tonight. But if you would have asked Sunday that was Filet Mignon with Lobster tails. Treated the wife and kids a nice surf and turf meal at home.

Favorite Recipe (only cook it maybe twice a year), Enjoy

Marinade (Basically a Bourguignon)

3 cups dry red wine

2 cups strong beef stock

1/4 cup Cognac (or good quality brandy)

1 large yellow onion (chopped into large pieces)

2 carrots (peeled and cut into 2-inch-long pieces)

3 cloves garlic (crushed and chopped)

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

10 black peppercorns

3 whole cloves

1 allspice berries

1 dried bay leaf



Mix this crap together and let the venison sit in it over night. Then throw out everything except the deer.



*Cast iron sear the venison then finish in the oven. While it is resting make the sauce. You might need to bring the venison back to temp if you don’t like ambient meat. Or you can pre slice thin and use the sauce to heat.



The sauce is a traditional French “steak sauce”



Red Wine Reduction (Marchand de Vin)

• 1/2 cup dry red wine
• 2 tbsp. chopped shallots
• 2 cups demi-glace
• Optional: kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

Steps to Make It

1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the wine and shallots. Heat until the liquid boils, lower the heat a bit and continue simmering until the liquid has reduced by three-fourths.
2. Add the demi-glace, then lower heat to a simmer, and reduce for about 5 minutes.
3. Strain through a mesh strainer, season to taste with kosher salt and black pepper.

Never doing that. I’d sooner throw someone from the tank on the grill.

...not the fish though. Fish are pets.
Sorry tasty looking crustaceans.
