  1. Slice them thin, then add them to a pot with just enough neutral oil to cover. Put on stove at about medium heat. Let those cook until about 95% of the way then add shaved garlic. Fry that until garlic is golden brown and transfer to a Pyrex dish or something of that nature. I do a 2-1 ratio chilis to garlic. Garlic is shaved super thin. Either by hand or a mandolin.
  2. I fucking love ox tail! That sounds good!
  3. Not homemade but, made from scratch nonetheless. Since the last time I posted a lot has happened one of those things was I found myself cooking in an Italian restaurant as a sous chef. Now I'm getting ready to take over one of the groups restaurants in the next couple weeks. This is creste de Gallo a la wild boar Bolognese. Garnished with a fat Roche of whipped ricotta and a calabrian chili crisp.
  4. Breakfast from a while back. Savory winter squash tart, bfast links, radicchio and apple salad with comte, English muffin. It's been a long time since I've visited the oontz. Glad to see this thread still kicking around! Hoping to post a little more.
  5. Some serious heaters!!! Damn!
  6. Made bagel and cured steelhead the other day. I cured the steelhead in a vac bag for 24hrs, dried in the fridge unwrapped for 24hrs then cut it into blocks and froze it. I forgot about it for a while but damn is it good!!! Garnished with avocado, shaved onion, pickled jalapenos and chive.
  7. It really is close to being an obsession. Borderline a problem. However, at home is sometimes the best time to be creative. There are so many distractions while in the restaurant. I never wrote menus and hardly tested new recipes while at work. It does lead to burn out though if I'm not careful. Through covid I've had a lot of time to think of new ways to be better at time management. Hopefully when the time comes I can put those thoughts to action. But yeah, sometimes when I'm at home cooking was the last thing I wanted to do.
  8. I made another batch of english muffins today. Trouble shooting this recipe I've been using. Subbed in bread flour for half the amount of ap flour. Also added more salt. They came out a bit better than my last batch flavor wise and texture wise. Still has room for improvement though. Cheers!
  9. Thanks, I have a pretty extensive culinary background. Been cooking professionally for the last 15 years ago. Still learning all the time though. Especially with baking and pastry! Haven't heard of that site. I'll have to check it out.
  10. Some white bread Pb&j on some of that fresh white bread. Homemade apricot jam, fresh ground peanut butter. Hokkaido buns(japanese milk bread) Burger and a salad, caramelized onion jam, havarti, iceberg, aioli English muffins Home made toaster strudels, puff dough filled with a ras el hanout spiced blueberry jam
  11. Sirloin marinated in chimichurri, pan roasted then chilled. Salad of pearl cous cous, shrimp, avocado, tomato and fresh herbs. Little green bibb salad with apples and radish. Red wine vinaigrette.
  12. I typically strain twice by this point, at work I would let it simmer for a few hours then strain into a new pot and continue reducing then strain again once finished. At home, it's whatevs.
  13. Thanks man, they are all natural yeast sourdough. I shape them freehand and then proof in bannetone baskets. I bake them in a dutch oven set on a stone. As far as the peppercorn Bordelaise it works beautifully on steak. Think of a peppercorn sauce on crack!!! Next time I'm gonna grind em a bit in the old mortar and pestle. They are definitely more perfumey than regular peppercorns so, it can become overpowering pretty quickly. Overall though I'd give it two thumbs up!!!
  14. Making sauce with itsallafarce (Szechuan peppercorn bordelaise) Saute mushrooms until nice and brown add onions or shallots if you got em (I didn't.) Caramelize onions, add aromats (thyme, bay leaves, Szechuan peppercorn) Brandy to deglaze Deglaze that shit, scrape the fucking pan with your wooden spoon. Reduce that shit to au sec (almost dry) Get your fucking red wine (don't use shitty wine you wouldn't drink by the glass either. Cheapskate.) Same process as with the brandy. Add veal stock once your red wine has reduced by half Now let it summer and reduce by at least 2/3rds (could be more or less depending on the strength of your stock.) Once the sauce has reduced to the point it costs your spoon really well (I forgot to flick that part.) Add your fucking butter a pat at a time, while whisking. Keep whisking until your butter is fully emulsified into the sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Put that shit on anything. Especially on meat. But, literally anything will taste better with this sauce.
  15. Sole with tarbais beans spinach and almandine Strip steak with potatoes and asparagus, Szechuan peppercorn bordelaise
