What's for dinner tonight?

[MileHighCrew]

So there was some interest in the Salsa thread, so I thought I'd ask what people are having for dinner.

Tonight I made a sheddard's pie, British style
What are you having?

[weazel]

damn I love shepherds pie! best leftover food of all time!

For tonight I have prime rib sitting over apple wood in the smoker... for the side we will be having mashed potatoes mixed with bacon, onion, ricotta and parmesan
and to top it off, cornbread muffins.

[SR]

Mac and cheese with some broccoli and tuna mixed in. I've been living in a hotel (albeit a nice one) for the past three weeks and will be for the next month and a half...I'm living like a bachelor again.

[BeefStew25]

Probably a fifth of crown washed down with a .45.

[frauschieze]

PB&J or PB&H. I'm still in an empty house with no dishes or way to cook anything and I'm sick of eating out.

[socalthunder]

Tri-tip with corn on the cobb. Vodka.

[Lancane]

Steak medium rare, with Indian Corn and Broccoli.

[BigDaddyBronco]

Going to a baseball game tonight. So either a hot dog or pizza, lots of beer, peanuts, maybe a funnel cake. Whatever looks good.

[underrated29]

I am making stuffed Bell peppers. Sides are sweet mashed buttnernut squash and chili-peppered asparagus. Quick easy and good.

[weazel]

pizza fatty, cob corn and slaw

[SR]

Red Baron French bread pizza and Ron Rico rum with diet Coke w/lime.

[BroncoJoe]

Breakfast.

[Slick]

Spaghetti and garlic bread being cooked while i sit on my ass. Life is good.

Mustard base BBQ (pulled pork) on buns, tator tots, cole slaw, and cornbread.

[SR]

I just ate a can of Chunky chicken noodle soup. Now I'm gonna have a Fiber Plus bar followed by my protein shake and a pinch.

[Buff]

I eat out for every single meal. Do they still make women who know how and like to cook? I might like to meet one.

[frauschieze]

Leftover taco soup, topped with monterey jack, sour cream, green onions and avocado.

Mmmmm.....gotta love stuff that tastes just as good the next day.

[SR]

My wife, but she's taken.

[SR]

I had a grilled chicken breast, broccoli, and a potato for dinner. It was tasty.

[WTE]

I use my Ronco Showtime Rotisserie cooker all the time! Last night it was 7 rib pork roast w/ bbq sauce.

So moist and delicious.

Anyone else have one?

[MileHighCrew]

Tonight is pulled pork and a beer. Football food

[BroncoNut]

I rarely eat dinner. If I do, I eat out. tonight I may do chick fillet before the knights meeting.

[PatriotsGuy]

Think the wife is making steaks tonight but I'm not sure about the sides yet.

[MileHighCrew]

steak is good.... That is the plan for tonight, thanks

[PatriotsGuy]

I did a pork shoulder on my smoker the other night. 12 hours @ 225 F and pulled it out when it was 190 F internal temp. It just fell off the bone, so good. :eating:

[weazel]

tonight... rib eye steaks, baked potato and maple asparagus.
tomorrow... smoked briskett, slaw and cornbread
sunday... chili in front of the TV watching NFL

[PatriotsGuy]

That reminds me I need to tell the wife to plan the Sunday menu.

[chazoe60]

Whatever it is it won't have carbs. My fat ass is going carb free.

[Buff]

How do you already know this? I am incapable of planning more than 4 hours in the future.

[weazel]

Whatever it is it won't have carbs. My fat ass is going carb free.

going carb free is a terrible diet... your body needs them and will get it from wheerver it can, so it gets it from skeletal muscle.

sure, but you said "whatever you eat wont have carbs, my fat ass is going carb free"

Going carb free is really, really not good for you. Yes you will lose weight, but not the right way.

I don't know what's for dinner, but my wife and are are going to have cocktails with Alton Brown.

[Dreadnought]

I don't know what's for dinner, but my wife and are are going to have cocktails with Alton Brown.

Alton Brown has made my life better. My wife keeps his show on prepping and cooking tenderloins permanently on the Tivo so she can refer to it. He's a friggin' genius

John Elway is going to be a guest on the Great food truck race 2 next week when the show is in Denver

This thread is hard because I don't know that the wife is making in advance. Last night it was beef cutlets spinach and couscous.

[MOtorboat]

Chicken enchiladas. Slow cooked the chicken in enchilada sauce all day, shredded it, added green chiles, more sauce and cheese, wrapped it all up in tortillas and cooked it...damn good.

[Chef Zambini]

BBQ turkey wings.
same procedure as my oveb recipe for ribs.
section off your wings first, trim away excess skin along sides.
I have a brisket in the fridge right now marinating in Dr, pepper fo tomorrow.
going to finish off with red cabbage and onions.

[Chef Zambini]

DR. PEPPER BRISKET:
wash and dry brisket marinade for 12 hours in Dr. Pepper with fresh sliced sweet onion rings
(pickling spices optional )
remove from marinade, broil for 10 minutes along with onions, 5 minutes each side.
return the beef and onions to same marinade '
add fresh sliced orange wheels,
and braise in oven at 300 degrees for 2 hours.
remove meet from braising liquid, rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.

meanwhile portion a head of cabbage
cut in half down the middle of the core stem, then divide into 6 sections, again cutting along stem core.
(this will keep the cabbage intact, I use red cabbage)
add the portioned cabbage to the braISING LIQUID ALONG WITH ORANGES AND ONIONS
ADD A THIRD CUP OF VINEGAR, i used a raspberry balsamic.
be sure cabbage is almost completely submersed in liquid, add stock or water or beer to maintain level.
braise the cabbage in this liquid for 30 minutes.
(either in oven or on range top, covered if red cabbage, uncovered if green.)

after 20 minute rest period for meat, broil again, both sides 4 minutes each, carmelize additional onions if you wish.
remove brisket from broil, rest additional 15 minutes before slicing.


pull cabage and oranges from braising liquid, bring liquid to a boil, then simmer 20 minutes.
pour over sliced brisket and cabbage,
serve with onions and braised orange segments.
be sure to slice brisket across grain!

So does this Zam. I'll have to try it if I can find a decent brisket down here. Could I do this same recipe with a pork shoulder?

[Chef Zambini]

I have a pork loin that I will be doing later this week.

[SR]

I'm going fancy tonight. Gonna throw some boneless, skinless chicken breasts on the grill.

[SR]

I also had some gourmet Green Giant steamer broccoli and some Grillin' Beans. Goddamn I'm good

[moning]

Beef and wine

[Chef Zambini]

why dont you buy fresh broccoli?
3 minutes in boiling water, done! drizzle some butter or vavorite salad dressing, or just season as you like, salt, garlic, pepper?
No processing, no packaging, no waiting for frozen / thaw time.
bring the water to a boil drop in the broccoli, 3 minutes later , take out broccoli and eat !

Because I can put the bag of frozen broccoli in the micro and nuke it for five minutes while i'm grilling and not think about it. I don't give a shit about gourmet food. I care about my diet and tailoring it to my fitness goals, which doesn't include salad dressing, salt, butter, or anything else. Dry rub is a stretch for me.

[Chef Zambini]

calm down, sport.
if you are eating for health reasons, all the more reason to drop the hostility and try fresh broccoli after a 3 minute boil.
its delicious without anything on it !

not frozen, not processed and not nuked.
does that fit your healthy lifestyle gameplan?
how about your wallet?
probably a third of the price of your packaged broccoli !

Because Frozen Broccoli is often fresher than fresh broccoli. Frozen vegitables are often flash frozen within hours of being harvested, and usually contain more nutrients than what is "fresh" from the produce department. I try to only buy unfrozen produce when I know it was grown and harvested locally.

I think fresh or frozen is fine... But I've been brainwashed to believe the microwave kills nutrients, even if NTL posts links to the contrary.

Well don't come at me and I won't be hostile. It's not like I don't make fresh food. I made some killer chicken tacos with home made (by me) mango avacado salsa a couple weekends ago. I can cook just fine, but I'm often pressed for time because I have a job, I go to school, have a wife that goes to school, and a one year old.

[Slick]

Take fresh broccoli florets, drizzle them with olive oil, sprinkle them with minced garlic and roast them in the oven for 15 minutes at 400 degrees. Way better than boiling it.

I like to put them in a container with a little olive oil and squeeze a lemon over it then shake the shit out of it and cook 'em in the over till they're done. It's awesome that way.

[CoachChaz]

Nuke some broccoli, nuke some processed cheese spread and combine.

Party

[SR]

Charlie, there has to be a way for you to make your own cheese spread to put on some fresh steamed broccoli that would be a much better alternative.

roasted veggies are great, but you have to heatup the oven for that, ok if you arer cooking other things in the oven.

my friend, i am trying to be helpful not hostile.

how about this;
try cooking the brocoli as i suggested, then use your shake the shit out of it technique, only put the fresh cooked broccoli in the container, and then eat it afer you shake it !
I love roasted cauliflower, spinkle it with some low fat parmesian cheese.
as for fresh or frozen I grew up on birds-eye!
my favorite was the broccoli in butter sauce that came in a pouch that you boiled.
micro-waves did not exist back then !


some personnal bullshit for my friend red:

My mom made BIRDS_EYE instead of fresh broccoli because freah broccoli did not come with cooking instructions !
My mom, a single parent raising 2 boys all by herself!
married at 18,
first child at 19,
had me at age 20,
and divorced and on her own before age 21!
seeing red, I empathise with your circumstances and understand your anger, but please understand i am the wrong target for your hostility.


eat well, be happy.

[Chef Zambini]

and now for some technical shit:
broccoli contains both vitamin C and vitamin A, the C is water soluble, the A is fat soluble, thats why broccoli cooked using both water and oil 9fat) generates the best tasting broccoli because you release both A and C components!
carrots are almost all vitamin A so boiling or steaming does not release much flavor, but you put those carrots in oil or butter and the flavor comes alive !


fat soulble vitamins; A...D...E...K
water soluble vitamins B....C.
most minerals are water soluble.

[CoachChaz]

Charlie, there has to be a way for you to make your own cheese spread to put on some fresh steamed broccoli that would be a much better alternative.

Probably...but that would require research and effort. By the time I figure it out, I could have already eaten.

I'll be honest. I really would prefer to eat better, but I simply dont have time.

You're reading me wrong homie. You've got some excellent food talk in this and other threads, but when I'm being sarcastic about how awesome my 10 minute dinner was, I don't expect/want feed back about how to make a quick, low cal, low carb dinner "better".

[Chef Zambini]

What do you like to do with Artichokes? Simple. I'm not a fan of stuffed chokes.artichoke, cut stem even with bottom leaves, trim pointy tops of 'choke with scissors, cut off top inch of choke
add sliced lemon to a pan of boiling water, enough water to submerse one THIRD of artichoke, allow choke to boil in water bottom side down for 10 minutes, turn over the choke, bottom side up and finish with lid on and low boil for another 15-20 minutes.
leaves should pull away easily
I like it simple too with seasoned mayo and melted butter.
when you get down to last leaves, pull away the purble undercarriage, and trim away the choking little fibers by usig a spoon to scrape away the hairs from the edible core.

had the day off today, so I did my brined and roasted breat of turkey and made a nice beek stew for lunch. I bought an organic beef chuck roast, quick sautee with onions, then braised for 1 hour in stock. added large dice red potatos,in the last 20 minutes.
and then, roasted seperatly, carrots, celery and mushrooms, that I added to the beef for ten minutes.

why do you think they turned out so well/
did you do anything different, or just buy a better quality steak?

They turned out so well because they were effing amazing. Tasted great. Melted in my mouth.

[Chef Zambini]

did you buy a different steak?
did you use a different seasoning
did you alter the way you cooked them
were they grilled alongside the chicken
why do you think these steaks were so FN amazin compared to your last endeavors
dont you want to duplicate the enjoyment next time?
of course you do ! so you have to ask the question WHY, why were these so much better?

[Chef Zambini]

melt in your mouht... more marbling.
or perhaps there was a rest period during the cooking process that allowed the juices to redistribute and the muscle tissue to relax.
This could esily be the answer i you pulled them off the grill to finish the chicken and then put them back on to heat up.
I know you normally do a skin off chicken, so its not likely the breast effected the flavor

[SR]

I don't know what the **** you're talking about.

[Chef Zambini]

I am glad you enjoyed your dinner.
maybe if you stopped looking for a hidden motive, you might realize i am just trying to help you enjoy EVERY steak you cook.

[SR]

I do enjoy every steak I cook.

[Chef Zambini]

I grilled steaks and chicken breasts, and had some baked beans and sweet corn.
The steaks were some of the best I've ever cooked
I read this and think,
'these steaks were betteer than before, why is that"
I am glad you enjoy all your steaks, but if, as you say, these were 'exceptional" then figuring out WHY will help you to duplicate the enjoyment.

now calm down, i did not say or suggest that you did not enjoy other steaks, but you said these were some of the best !

if you dont want to discuss what you cooked, why bother/
or are you just looking for an "oh dude, you make my mouth water" response?

I used to be an excellent chef until they moved me to safety

The title of the thread is "what's for dinner tonight". If I want to tell you that I am going to have Taco Bell for dinner tonight, this is the thread I'll post it in. You have another thread about cuisine, so if you want to talk about how to make what you cook better or discuss preparation processes or whatever, that would be the more appropriate thread for it.

Last night ate a roasted corn salad with saffron rice on the side.

I'm thinking that I'm going to try the weekday vegetarian thing since I enjoy the health benefits of eating that way, but I can't ever imagine eating my last hamburger or steak.care to share your ingredients in either ?
have you ever considered tumeric instead of saffron?

[Thnikkaman]

care to share your ingredients in either ?
have you ever considered tumeric instead of saffron?

The saffron rice was a packet of pre-seasoned bag-o-yellow rice. I am not a fan of tumeric which kind of sucks since I do enjoy an occasional curry. Tumerick and Cinimon are the two spices that have put me off of most M1editeranian and Indian cuisine.

The salad recipe was out of this month's cooking light magazine, from memory it had:

Grilled Corn on the cob (Remove the silk from the corn, soak in water for 30 minutes to an hour and grill ~10 minutes on each side on a hot grill)
Roasted Red Peppers (did these myself)
Roasted Pablano Peppers (Did these the same way as the red)
Roasted green onion (2 minutes per side)
Roasted Avacado
And Black beans.

Seasoning included Salt, Pepper, Garlic, Cilantro, and something else I'm not coming up with at the moment.

Basically, combine the ingredients and serve. If you don't know how to roast peppers (I know you do Zam), you can do it on a hot grill, or on a gas stove burner. Just put them on direct heat and wait until the pepper is charred (black and burnt is a good thing). Do this on each side. When the pepper has sufficient char, put them in a ziplock bag or a bowl with saran wrap over it and let them "steam" for at least 15 minutes. When they are done, peel the charred skins off, remove stems and seeds (optional/seeds in sweet peppers are gross anyway), and slice up to desired size.

[Chef Zambini]

sounds great, but I gotta admit roasted avocado sounds weird to me !

At the Telluride Bluegrass Festival we went to a little sandwich shop called Brown Bag Deli, holy shit! Best sandwich I ever had. Simple but delicious. They had a laminated card that you could fill out and do a build uour own sammy so I had a Grilled chicken breast w/ bacon, avacado, cheddar, and chipotle mayo on sourdough. Yum!

the package rice, zataran?

I like the low sodium zataran.
lundberg also makes a rissoto with porcini that is excellent, organic as well !
yet still a pretty good value !

Thinking of making fish tonight. Do you know a good recipe Chef, preferably something a kid will eat also.what kind of fish?
for kids, crumble up their favorite cereaL AND use it as breading! classic breading method is to first dust the fish with flour, then dip in egg bath, then bread.
you can either bake at 425 or fry in hot oil.
talapia or sole a good choice for kids, cod also works.
introduce them to salmon with an orange honey glaze.
broil or grill the salmon, skin side down.

[Chef Zambini]

swordfish cut into cubes makes a nice fish kabob, you can add veggies if the kid will eat them or sausage, even wrap the fish cubes in bacon.

Thanks Chef. I've just Recently got into cooking and have found I have a bit of a knack for it. Nothing Master Chef or like you can do but like I said I just started doing it.
I'm a huge Gordon Ramsay fan, I'll watch anything he's in and I especially love Master Chef and I think the years of watching him and the food network have changed my subconscience and now I want to cook and do it well. So I told my wife I'd start being the chef for the family. I think it'll be a hood thing.

I think I'll give the Talapia a try. Side of veggies, maybe some sauteed potatoes. That'll be good.

Okay, so I just decided to wing it with the meatballs. I just guessed and went off of memory from what I've seen over the years. I put some bread(cubed) in the food processor along with some top round( cubed) an egg, and a bunch of different slherbs and spices processed it all til it was what I figured was the right consistency. They came out pretty good. Next time I think I'll put some Italian sausage in there as well.

[SR]

I usually do a half pound of ground beef and a half pound of Italian sausage and make em about the size of a golf ball. Mix in some red onions, garlic, bread crumbs, an egg. Bake them. Then drop them in the sauce. That's what I do anyway.

( smart-ass responses welcome)
the BROWNING in the oven that red performed is essential !
depending on the size of your balls,
( yes, a second opportunity for you all )
I reccomend a hot oven, at least 400 degrees and around 20 minutes for a golf ball size meatball, longer for larger.
sicilians put chopped RAISINS in their meatballs, give this a try with a hint of tarragon along with the nore customary oregano !
I also like the half grounf beef, half italian sausage, BRAVO !

I always add 1 egg for every 2 pounds of meat as a binder. you can also add seasoned breadcrumbs or crush some flavored croutons as well 1/4 cup for every pound of meat, but i consider this optional! as i mentioned the sicilians add minced raisins, i lie that along with a pinch of tarragon and oregano, I always season with garlic powder and freash grated pepper.
I like the golf ball sized meatballs, hand rolled, placed on a lightly greased baking sheet and into the oven 400 F for 20 minutes.
roll them around every 5 min to got them nicely browned all around.
then simmer them in the sauce after draining while you cook the pasta.
