Food Thread: Is There Such A Thing As Too Much Meat In A Dish?
Lurker "Josh" has graciously shared his technique for making bacon from the fat cap of the pork shoulder. What a great idea! That part of the pig is fantastic, and I even prefer rib chops from high up near the shoulder...the ones that include some of the different muscles and tons of fat that make the shoulder so damned good.
I would like to share my technique for making homemade bacon. I make it out of the top fat slab from a picnic should, the square cut that contains the scapula bone. I make it out of that because the cost of the shoulder is a fraction of the cost of pork belly, saving more money for Val-U-Rite! I remove the top fat, with all of the meat slivers still contained, rub it with Kosher salt on both sides and allow it to sit uncovered in the fridge overnight. The flat slab thickness varies but is generally between 1/2 to 1 1/4 inches thick. Next day, I set up my smoker to smoke at around 180 degrees, and rinse all the salt off the fat/meat then pat dry with paper towels. I place the fat slab into the smoker and smoke for around 3-4 hours. I place it directly on a rack to allow smoke to reach the entire piece easier, and I flip once or twice to keep the amount of smoke even (as shown by coloration). I prefer using more mellow woods such as cherry or apple, I do NOT recommend mesquite as it is very strong for this application. When the 'bacon' reaches the appropriate color I remove and cool before slicing. It keeps a good long time in the fridge but I have yet to have any in the fridge longer than 3 weeks as my wife and kids eat it up fast. It can of course be frozen for later consumption. I know it is not 'Bacon' since that is belly fat/meat. But- it cooks the same, smells the same, tastes the same, and has beautiful fat left in the pan for other uses. Best part is that I buy the full shoulders for $1.35lb, and the defatted portion roasts nicely for main meals while giving me bacon for1/3 the cost of buying it pre-made, and the homemade freshness cannot be eat.

for I have a tale to tell.
'Bout a moron recipe
tor cookies from hell.
See, i started whippin' up a batch of cookie base
and then I remembered I had no eggs.
So I went to the 'net for a substitute, and it seems
there are plenty of ways to fake an egg.
Yogurt was one suggestion, in a long list.
Oil and water, in another place
And in my 'fridge I found, Ranch Dressing, Buttermilk style
So I looked at the label, to see what was inside, oil, and egg, and vinegar, it said. So what can go wrong when you substitute for egg
One quarter cup was the recommended dose, so that is what I did.
The cookies came out great, fluffy and like cake. My peanut butter cookies which taste like salad dressing.

Infidel, I bet it will be great. I do something similar, except coated in a bread crumbs/parm mixture (but rolling the chicken bundles in melted butter first, then the crumbs). Then set it on a baking sheet and bake in the oven. My kids called it "toothpick chicken" when they were little.

Brats need a good Italian Chicago bread. Big enough for extras and sturdy enough to hold them -- like Italian/French beef au jus. Gonnella used to be the best, but I think they are morto.

But not with chicken as a substitute for beef in a red chili recipe. It's usually called white chili or chili blanco. Includes white beans, green chilis--I use poblanos--garlic, onion, oregano. Topped with your choice of sour cream, cheese, and cilantro.
Google Neiman Marcus White Chili recipes for a starting place.

2 c flour
1 T sugar
4 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
1/2 c shortening
2/3 c milk (slightly more if dropping the dough)
1 egg
Sift dry ingredients together in mixing bowl. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk and egg to flour mixture all at once. Stir dough with a fork until it pulls into a ball. (Or until everything is well mixed, if you are dropping these and not rolling.) If rolling: turn dough onto floured surface, knead lightly, roll to 3/4 inch thickness and cut. Place dough on ungreased cookie sheet. If dropping: use medium or large scoop and place scoops of dough on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake 400 for 10-14 minutes or until browned.
It must be the egg, because these are the best and lightest biscuits you will ever have! And they can be whipped up fast!

ALH, in your frozen food section, you'll find them packaged in pounds up to five prolly five pounds. Get the smaller bag and you can cut the fat back in half and save the unused.
Boil the hell out of them with the fat back, It's gonna take longer than you think. AFter at least 30 minutes you can take one out and try it. They won't be done but you'll have a good starting point.
Once they are soft and don't "taste" green. They should be done. If they aren't soft. Cook them longer.
They are awesome. DO NOT try dried beans till you are a PROfessional.

The most succulent part of the beaver is the tail.
While some might think the ONT is the obvious place for any discussion of that, I say Nay! This is the Food Thread, and those who give a dam know this is the place. For those who don't, try this:
Fried Beaver Tail2 Beaver tails (fresh is preferable to frozen)
1/4 tsp Pepper
1/2 C Apple Cider Vinegar
1/4 C Butter
1 tbs Salt
1/4 C Sherry
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp dry mustard
1 tbs Worchester sauce
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 C Flour
1 tsp Sugar
1/2 ts Salt
1 tb Worcestershire sauce
Preparation:
Skin the beaver tails, clean thoroughly, and wash them well in a solution of salt
water. Soak them overnight in enough cold water to cover, adding 1/2 Cup vinegar and
1 tablespoon salt to the water to make a brine.
The next day, remove from the brine, wash them, and then cover with a solution of 2
teaspoons soda and 2 quarts water. Bring them to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer 10
minutes.
Drain the beaver tails. Dredge them in seasoned flour.
Melt the butter in heavy fry pan, and saute the tails at low heat until tender.
Mix the wine with the mustard, sugar, garlic powder and Worcestershire sauce. Add to pan with the beaver tails, and simmer gently for 10 minutes, basting frequently.

Oh, this is not at all Southern, it's New Hampshire. I looked for and actually found it in a notebook from 1993. Old family recipe.
Pigs in Blankets.
Fry thinly sliced salt pork (fatback) until crisp.
Make a batter of 2 eggs, scant 1/2 cup of milk, 3/4 cup flour sifted with 3/4 tsp baking powder and a little salt.
Fry the batter in the rended pork fat, drop the strips of fried pork into the batter, flip, finish, and serve with carrots and mashed potatoes.

These days you can get pretty good boxed wines. A boxed wine can be up to 4 bottles' worth, but because of the packaging it will last for weeks without turning into vinegar. I remember having a boxed wine that wasn't anything special but a month later it tasted the same as on day 1.

I was a guest at a dinner in Cambodia a long time ago, that had seven courses, each of which had some cobra in it, if not the main ingredient.
Followed by a snifter of brandy, which had 2 of the venom sacs in it. The trick, we were told, was to swallow them whole. A tingling effect occurred 15 minutes or so afterwards. I think it was as much to observe how the round-eyes handled the whole affair as anything else.

I rub them with a 4:1 mix of Worcestershire sauce to bourbon, and then a rub. I put them on the pellet grill for 20-30 minutes of smoke, and then kick it up to 350dF, and pull at 130dF. Thin slices against the grain seem best, but it's tender enough not to require that.

I finally tried a great local independent steakhouse a few weeks ago, Madera's. It was great. Now I'm determined to try more of them, both chain and non. Also on my list:
- Stubrik's, in Brea
- Mastro's
- Fleming's (I've talked about them before here)
...and maybe, Dal Rae in Pico Rivera. It's been doing business continually, in the same location, since the 1940s, I believe.

noir is. (Sorry, can't remember who said it.) They were right. It was
smooth with lots of fruit flavor but not sweet and not very tannic if I
have the right term. Compared to a lot of the prices I see for pinot
noir, this stuff is a bargain.
I don't know if it is my imagination, but I swear sipping a glass of
wine with a meal is enhancing the taste of the food and other flavors
after eating. Even coffee and tea seem more vibrant. Maybe wine is
clearing the taste buds?
No doubt this sounds elementary to many but it is new for me.

Personally, I don't like Mark West wines but if you like them, go for it!
That's the thing about wines: You like what you like. And a higher price doesn't mean you'll like it better. I've sampled wines that have retailed for over $200 a bottle and hated them.
Wine paired right with a meal makes the meal that much better.

And speaking of pork, someone in the biz enlighten me: for a month or two, both the bulk/cheaper grocery stores and the regular chains here have had beautiful, medium-thick pork chops (bone-in or not) for ridiculously low prices. Absurdly low. I just don't understand how/why there would be an extended and unusually large sale on one type of cut.
I will get some (hope the prices are still the same) tomorrow, but want some new chop recipes. Have good ones, but would like some new angles. Ben Had's sauce sounds like it would work, for a start.

Does anyone else have this problem.? The male cat sits in the dining room while I cook. The female cat thinks that anytime someone prepares a human meal it's her meal time too, and she gets right under my feet while I go back and forth from the stove to the fridge to the sink. Yes, I could put her out of the room, but she tends to hide any furniture if she thinks she's going to be removed if she doesn't want to go. I attribute this behavior-hanging underfoot to the fat that she was a feral cat and chronically underfed, I suspect before she was rescued . She's a lovely, good natured cat and very affectionate-but a PITBackside.

My guess is that the acid in your stomach neutralizes some/most of it, and/or it's not absorbed as readily via the alimentary canal. It is a pretty potent neurotoxin when introduced into the blood stream.

Chicken thighs (usually available at your cheaper/bulk grocery stores for ridiculously low prices). Any good BBQ sauce (or your own). Basic rub spices (paprika, smoked paprika, brown sugar, cumin, pepper/salt, chili powder).
Mix your dry rub mix, coat the chicken pieces. Pour a moderate amount of BBQ sauce in the bottom of the slow cooker. Piled the chicken pieces on top, and pour a bit more BBQ sauce over them.
5-6 hours on low. Open, remove the chicken, pour liquid into a small pot (either just leave it as is, or reduce on the stove). "Pull" the chicken - after 6 hours, chicken thighs pretty much fall apart easily, using two large forks. Return to slow cooker. Add as much liquid as desired to restore/increase moistness; add as much BBQ sauce as desired for taste.
Done. Almost no actual work, or cooking. Stuff is fantastic. I buy the large trays of thighs on sale, make a huge batch of the stuff, and we eat it for a while (it's a very evil snack, since it's great cold or hot, you can just pick at it when you should be snacking on a sustainably-raised apple or tangerine instead ....).

Cabernet franc (the grape) is the daddy of cab sauvingnon. And fantastic in its own right. One of the 5 Bordeaux reds, but usually used as a blender there (small % of a wine). Not *that* long ago, even CA wineries didn't make much 100% cab franc wine, but fortunately that's changed.
Could be my favorite red wine, if such a distinction existed.
For those looking for something new on the red side, look for carmenere. Another French red that (like malbec, another of the Bordeaux 5 reds) is rarely bottled as such in Europe, but has found its place in South America. Chile in this case.

Even better, go spend a week in CaliGirl's territory (central coast CA).
And Vendette, it's been a while, but central VA (around C'ville) was starting to do pretty decent reds last time I was there. NoVa is solid with viognier and a few other whites. Any NoVa wine people should make sure they try Norton, the only indigenous North American wine grape. I like it. Red. Can't describe the flavor. Think it's grown for wine only in VA.

So at the end of a long day, we're happy to relax in the hotel room with some great wine we bought that day, along with gourmet local items or prepared stuff, and watch the TV we never watch at home (often ends up being ..... food, or travel shows .....).
And that makes us focus even harder on making the restaurant nights high quality.

(around C'ville) was starting to do pretty decent reds last time I was
there. NoVa is solid with viognier and a few other whites. Any NoVa
wine people should make sure they try Norton, the only indigenous North
American wine grape. I like it. Red. Can't describe the flavor.
Think it's grown for wine only in VA.
Posted by: rhomboid at April 22, 2018 06:20 PM (QDnY+)
I don't like VA Viognier (once again, haven't been to visit a winery lately). Not sure when you moved, but when I first started tasting Norton was everywhere but it started to decline in favor of Cab Franc. As Norton was declining in VA it was picking up in Missouri.
I have heard great things about VA's Linden Vineyards.

I bought a jar from Amazon, tasted it, freaked, and ordered a 6-pack. It was an awesome seasoning to add to some local beef tacos that are lovable, but a bit bland.
Tomorrow I plan to make a simple, 4-ingredient version of Sichuan Chili Beef that I found online. One of the 4 ingredients, and presumably the key one, is this Spicy Chili Crisp, 1/4 cup of it in a recipe calling for 1 lb of sliced flank steak (I'm using flap).

Did you have a run-in with a snake this weekend too? My son and I were walking in the park and I about stepped on one going across the path. I didn't realize it - my son was a little behind me and saw it just as I was stepping over it but waiting until I had done so before he said, uh, Mom?
Posted by: bluebell at April 22, 2018 06:31 PM (oMtOd)
Interesting that cab franc is displacing Norton. Makes sense in that Norton is a niche wine and taste, whereas cab franc is great on its own or as a blender in meritage (rhymes with "heritage", not the Winter Palace, or "Hermitage").
Linden was always a good one. I think I used to get some heirloom apples there, too. They had a pick-your-own week in the fall, had some great weird apple varieties not commercially grown any more, if ever.

One kitchen gadget I've recently discovered is indispensable is an infrared thermometer. I have an inclination/supposition to believe that overly cooked foods leads to a higher glycemic index (diabetes related). Those high glycemic foods spike blood sugar causing an insulin response. Repeated enough times over years or decades and the response is muted. Possibly leading to Type 2 diabetes in the younger or Type 3 (Alzheimer's) in the elderly.
All supposition right now. I'd be quite willing to admit that I'm often wrong, if I was often wrong.
Anyway, the difference between properly cooked foods and undercooked is easily verified by an infrared thermometer. The tastiest protein is on that narrow razors edge between edible and life-threatening. Be on the right side of that razors edge.
Choose life.

But we looked her up, and sure enough...
A few weeks later, we saw her on the same program when she was still he. Looked more feminine before, frankly. !

Yes, black mulberries. The juice can stain but isn't light-fast or wash-fast enough to actually count as a dye for cloth. I've heard it suggested as a dye for eggs though.
The mulberries this year are plentiful and are almost an inch long when ripe (much larger than in the past). I suspect either the hurricane water or the cold (hey, it *snowed* here) encouraged the output.

Peeled garlic cloves - a lot of 'em. Reject any with weird looking places on 'em.
Kosher salt dissolved in hot water, to saturation.
Put cloves in a jar big enough to hold them all. Pour brine over and fill the jar. Put clean glass marbles in top of the jar to submerge them all. Cap, loosely, and leave in a cool place for at least a month. Done.
