Did someone mention cast iron skillets?

They pair well with fat scallops.

Took some ginger, garlic, jalapeno, and cilantro and pureed it with some salt and olive oil then worked it under the chicken skin before grilling. Didn't suck

Fresh sea scallops about $43/lb here!



That's an eye watering price, imo.

Cooked scallops for the first time in about a decade a few weeks ago. That price is definitely a barrier, especially once you have to feed kids too.

This has been my go to recipe since I found it:

Need good bread to mop up the sauce.

They were expensive at $30/lb, but I'm vegetarian and booze free during the week, so I can justify such largess on the weekends.

I've been doing a creme fraiche (1 tablespoon) with lemon zest, drip of maple syrup, thyme and 2-3 tablespoons of tobiko topping that sends my local gourmandos out past the third bardo.

Samin Nosrat's Buttermilk Marinated Roasted Chicken recipe is both braindead simple and on par for the best roasted chicken I've ever eaten. No pictures of the mashed potatoes and gravy or the roasted cauliflower.

How long can I cook a dish with basil before the basil turns bitter? I never knew that was a problem till someone said something. Ie in a tomato sauce.

[~mikey b]

it won’t make a lot of difference with dried old basil, but fresh basil is best thrown in right at the end before you serve the sauce - stir it in when you turn off the sauce and you’ll get the freshest taste and aroma

[Rideski]

Yeah I have a pack of fresh that needs to be used. I guess I could blanch it.

[~mikey b]

you can freeze it - blanche it and freeze it, or just chop it and freeze it, or just blend it without oil and freeze it for pesto


so some of you guys know I’m working the produce at a small local health food store - I’m learning a lot

basil is a pain in the dick to keep fresh

we keep ours with the stems in water out on the shelf and in the back stock - trim off a bit of the end and put the stems in water - don’t let any leaves get soaked - I can nurse along a couple dozen bunches for a week that way

Going dirty tonight with some crunch wraps

Why is that going dirty? Are you saying all Mexicans are dirty?

Wow. Looks amazing. I’ll have to try that recipe.


I’ve been on a half-ass mission over almost the last decade to try to find the perfect roast chicken scheme… I’ve gone around and around in circles; dry brine, wet brine, hot oven, reverse sear, indirect grilled, hot smoker, spatchcocked, beer butted, roto’ed, etc…. They all have compromise.

I find it’s really easy to make a great B+/A- chicken…. But stepping it up from there is proving to be difficult for me.

Tomatoes are canned w basil, and I add basil during cooking but it doesn't turn bitter at all. The flavor rounds and mellows. I've heard about oregano turning bitter in tomato sauce, but I can't say that i've ever noticed it. Just before serving as Mikey correctly states after the heat is off add some fresh and you get the best of both.

Where is the basil from?

[oftpiste]

could dry it too

you can freeze it - blanche it and freeze it, or just chop it and freeze it, or just blend it without oil and freeze it for pesto

[~mikey b]

yup

I’ve got 3-4 bunches each of basil, parsley, sage, and thyme in my dehydrator right now, as well as two trays of red and orange peppers and three trays of heirloom tomatoes


last week I made a cilantro pesto and put 4 pints in the freezer

[Rideski]

Whoa, we have an outdoor dehydrator. Tomatoes?
