Didn't know which was the more appropriate spot so I put this in both.

List of ingredients in " A taste of Thai" fish sauce:

Anchovy Fish
Salt
Sugar
Water(Only natural water-no water added)
Allergen information: contains fish


Just how stupid are we?

I think I have outdone myself today. I was cooking for the next couple of weeks (food for work) and after I did up the Montreal Steaks and the Italian Steaks I had a bunch of Tenderloin chunks and pieces left over. I have this recipe that I do that takes a couple of hours of prep plus 12 hours marinating and an hour or more of cooking that I wanted to try a variation on...boy did it come out good.

1 lb beef steak cut into bite sized 1/2" thick slices.
1 lb chicken breasts done the same
1 lb pork done the same
(best if done with the TLs of all the above)
1 bag small 150/lb cooked/peeled/de-veined shrimp (thrown in at the end...long enough to heat up or added to microwave 30 seconds from reheating)
Half a bottle of Caribbean Jerk marinade
2-3 tablespoons of chopped crystallized Ginger
1 small onion chopped
3/4 cup of Captain Morgan (plus tasters)
1/4 cup of red cooking wine
powdered Ginger, Allspice, Cinnamon, Onion, Garlic, black pepper
Sesame oil
brown sugar
lemon juice
corn starch

Marinate the meats in the Jerk and some of the Capt'n for an hour or so.

Splash some Sesame oil into a large skillet or wok, cook the onions until almost clear then add the Crystallized Ginger. Cook for 30 seconds or so then add all the meats and cook until browned. Leave the juices in and add the spices (dash here, dash there, couple of teaspoons worth of cinnamon, bit of pepper), stir in everything well and turn down and let simmer for 15 min or so uncovered.

Scoop all the meats out leaving the sauce behind, mix up a teaspoon or so of starch in a bit of water and mix it in well, then turn the heat up. Keep stirring and add the rest of the Morgan, a healthy splash of the wine, the lemon juice and a handful of brown sugar and cook until it thickens up into a good gravy. Add back into the meat.

Serve with bow tie pasta or rice or eggplant or fried bananas or plantains or whatever suits your fancy. I like cooking up some stir fry veggies with a bit of cinnamon and brown sugar then mixing it with the bow ties. This comes from the other recipe I told you about. I'll post that sometime when I have an hour or so to type it out.

Steve, that does sound good. I might give it a shot next week, while I'm on my 'long change' (every fourth Monday I get off work at 7:00 AM, and don't come back to work until 7:00 AM the following Tuesday).

[Yobarnacle]

That's a nice schedule Troy. Or do the oposite 4 week cycle offset by 2 weeks, do you get short changed?

Is that 24 hours off or a week and 24 hours? Oh...and the Captain Morgan's is the good stuff... 100 proof.

Hi guys,

Sorry I have not had anything delicious and noteworthy to post recently.

I've been working rather preposterous hours over the last two weeks and rather poorly chose this hectic time to set myself the assignment of planning the ultimate decadent menu for two on a three day, two night, long weekend cruise.

Being the week of valentines day, I thought it would be the perfect gift to the forum and that I'd have it finished in time.

Several of my recipe formulations did not fare well in my crash-test-kitchen and none of them ever got to the stage of being cooked aboard or afloat, unless you count my state of intoxication while cooking as "afloat".

So to borrow a phrase from our youth (who don't even seem to speak recognisable english anymore... Epic fail... Bad!

Now, can anyone tell me what that means in the queens english? I can only speculate that it means, tried and failed.

James.

I reckon the queens english we speak in southern parts of USA is the first Elizabeths english. Ain't sure though.

When I was a kid up in Kentucky some of us still spelled things the British way, like adding the u to colour, etc. It was probably because of the immigrant coal miners from Wales, etc.

Good morning everyone,

With a day off, I've enjoyed a few hours in the crash-test-kitchen to create an indian inspired dish designed for preparation at home and later BBQ aboard.

Make this up and stuff it in a zip-lock bag for cooking later.

Serves 4

Ingredients:

8 chicken thighs (maryland cut)
2 Lemons, quartered
Hand full of bitter salad leaves to garnish

Marinade:

200g, Small tub of Greek style yoghurt
3 cloves of garlic
1 knuckle of ginger, grated
1 tsp ground coriander seed
1 tsp ground cumin seed
1 tsp chilli powder
2 tsp mild paprika
1 tsp garam masala
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1 small onion, chopped

Combine all marinade ingredients in a blender and add yogurt a few tablespoons at a time until a thick paste forms.

Coat chicken with marinade paste and leave to marinate refrigerated for not less than 4 fours (preferably overnight).

BBQ till cooked through, turning once.

Serve with lemon wedges.

A rice or leaf salad would be an ideal companion to this dish.

Enjoy.

Delicious sounding.
i prefer making my chilli powder from scratch. Chilli powder is combination of cumin, oregano, garlic, corriander, and cayenne pepper. Adjust quantity of cayenne, and you can have 1,2,3, or 4 alarm firehouse chilli. Leave it out and you have false alarm chilli.
Actually, I leave out the cayenne, and serve it on the side so individuals can heat it up to taste.
There are many curry combinations, but the standard yellow curry powder is, cumin, oregano, garlic, tumerick, and cayenne.

I bet your recipe above would be equally good curried!
thanks

Actually, we did too, even up in New England. I distinctly remember colour/color as well, since I had been spelling it with a "u" for years, then all of a sudden I had to change to "color."

Sounds good, James. But what's your definition of 'Maryland cut'? Is it what I'd call a chicken quarter (leg and thigh together)?

I eat to live not live to eat. Food is important for life but quality of life is more so. The photographs on this thread show massive portions, Im not sure why that is.

Your digging your grave with your teeth. Obesity is a killer.

Pork, fried bacon, yuk don't you need a packet of mints or something after like a mouth wash.
