Official Food Recipe/Picture Thread
 

I'm taking TaekOne's advice here and making an official thread for pictures/recipes for the stuff you guys make. I've seen tons of threads with delicious looking food creations and I thought it'd be nice to have it all in one place.

You can just post pics of what you had for dinner or you can be a nice guy (or gal) and tell us how you made it too. ;) It could be fun to get feedback on your own creation or family recipe.

Damn, I just made some really good bbq pork belly the other night too.

Some other time :)

I'm still a beginner when it comes to cooking but I like making sweet stuff like pies, cookies, and smoothies. The other day I was in a coffee shop and saw that they had a smoothie that had banana, soymilk and honey in it. I thought it sounded good but I had already ordered. A couple days later I tried my own version of it and I've been tinkering with it ever since. It took some experimenting but I'm finally happy with this version of it. It's super easy to make and the ingredients are very common...

Vanilla-Banana Smoothie

2 frozen chopped up bananas (highly recommend freezing, takes about an hour or two, makes it creamier)
1 cup vanilla soy milk (regular milk is fine but probably won't taste as good)
1 6-ounce vanilla yogurt (or about 1/2 cup if you have a large container like I do in the picture below)
1 cup ice
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

(Note: This makes plenty for two people. Half the recipe for just one.)

flavored yogurt ftl!

i've taken a couple weeks off of cooking due to the wedding and trying to buy a house.

hopefully this weekend i'll come up with something.

Lol. I've tried it with and without the yogurt and I like with it in better... but it's optional, really.

Hope so!

I will have my Fatty build and I will also have some ribs to add to this thread by the end of the weekend.

I got a bunch of Humboldt Squid steaks from a friend and I was trying to figure out what to do with it all. Tried deep frying some, didn't come out so good(pieces cut too thick probably). So I found the following recipe and cut the pieces in nice thin two inch strips. This has to be one of the most amazing recipes I have ever tasted, worth the effort.

2-Minute Calamari, Sicilian Lifeguard-Style

I left out the caperberries tho, not huge fan :o

with and without flavored yogurt or just yogurt in general?

The former. It might be fine with regular yogurt too. You could taste it without and then add it in and see if you like it better.

Sounds good. Might have to try it!

not sure how i missed this thread the first time around :o

:hi5:

i haven't cooked/made anything recently that was picture/noteworthy. but when i do i'll be sure to bring it back here :cool:

Went ahead and made this tonight. Was pretty good! Really nice flavors. It's best with good bread on the side. I left in my capers. :)

This is the first time I've had to prepare squid. Kinda gross and time-consuming but it's not hard.

i was going to make burgers today. might on monday :oh:

In. '06 in the house! :cool:

grilled asparagus > *

Cowboy Jason's Chili Verde:

3 pounds of pork shoulder, trimmed of excess fat and cut into 1-inch cubes
Oil for browning
1 pound of tomatillos, chopped
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 (or more) Anaheim chiles, chopped
2 jalapeno chiles, chopped
4 cups of chicken broth
4 tablespoons of cumin
2 teaspoons of oregano
Salt and pepper to taste

Heat a pot or dutch oven and add oil.
Brown the pork, remove and set aside.
Brown onions.
Add tomatillos, garlic, Anaheim chiles, japapeno chiles, chicken broth, cumin, and oregano.
Simmer for about 30 minutes, until everything is tender.
Season with salt and pepper.
Using a stick blender, blend the veggie mixture into a smooth sauce.
Add the pork back into the pot.
Simmer pork in the sauce for two hours.

Serve with rice and black beans.

Sorry, no pics, haven't made it for awhile.

red onion, romaine, green onion, pepper jack and kumato tomato.

www.kumato.com - i recommend trying them if you like tomato, even if you don't. they are fucking delicious. i'm not a huge of tomato, really only like it on burgers or tuna sandwiches. sometimes i'll enjoy large slices in a fresh salad. these tomatoes are brown / green, but have the best flavor ever. they aren't even that expensive. i got a five pack for maybe $3.

and of course clausen (only pickle i use, no homo) sweet bread and butter pickles.

So, where do you buy kumatos tomatos? I looked at the website but it seemed like there are only chains that carry them in Europe.

I'll hopefully do one on my baked, bacon wrapped chicken breast w/ ranch. :oh:

I love bulgogi! This time I just used rice, veggies and some fake crab for the kimbap. It turned out pretty good.

I'm going to be trying out a sushi place that people around here seem to rave about for my birthday next week. I'm excited, haven't had the stuff in close to a year now.

:chuckles:

I know what you mean. I bought a bunch of korean snacks and stuff from an online store a couple weeks ago.
