Food Thread: Texas Meet-Up Photo Dump Edition

Looks great, doesn't it! And it tasted even better...

That is the end product of many hours of work by many people, mostly Pete Bog and Rancher Bob. Paella is a dish that requires a fair amount of preparation, mostly because once the cooking begins it's impossible to do the chopping and peeling and searing and smoking and stock-making on the fly. Nothing is particularly difficult, but the timing of the cooking is vital for a good result. And it is not a stand-off dish! stepping away for a beer or three is a recipe for disaster.

I have made it for 12 people, and it required a fair amount of effort and planning. Now multiply that by 10, and you will have some idea of the amount of work involved! Prepping and smoking eight racks of ribs, preparing 14 pounds of absolutely spectacular gulf shrimp, searing 100 chicken thighs and pounds of chopped onions, making several gallons of glorious shrimp stock and a bunch more things...all before you even start cooking is a huge effort.

Oh...and there were actually two different pans being cooked...a huge one (48"?) with shrimp and a smaller one without (for the allergic), both over fire, which is more difficult, but adds a wonderful subtle smoky quality that has ruined stovetop Paella for me. Yeah...lots and lots of work.

And it came together flawlessly! It was like a ballet, with Pete Bog as the prima ballerina (sadly without a tutu) and Rancher Bob as the stage manager.

Take a peek downstairs for a view of the steps...

******

That is 14 pounds of some of the most beautiful shrimp I have ever seen, picked up on the Gulf Coast and driven to the MoMe. I tried one raw, and it was delectable...sweet, clean and firm. Just fantastic! If you haven't tried a truly fresh Gulf shrimp you are missing a rare treat.

Except they don't peel themselves! Several people spent about a half hour peeling them and reserving the heads and shells for a shrimp stock, which served as the liquid for one of the pans. It was a simple stock but just perfect for the Paella....it wasn't overpowering and gave the rice a subtle shrimp flavor that was delicious.

******

That's a snapshot of the searing and browning of one of the many layers of ingredients that make Paella so wonderful. Of course the rice is the star, but the many supporting roles create the layers of flavor that make it so complex.

******

More searing and browning. The extra layer of flavor afforded by the ground pork is inspired, an idea that sadly I have never had. But I will remedy it the next time I make Paella!

******

Now it gets complicated. In a normal sized pan it's easy to brown stuff, remove it, and move to the next ingredient. But that is monstrously difficult with this much food, so Pete Bog had his sous chefs push the first ingredients to the perimeters of the pans to make room for the onions. It worked quite well!

******

Here's the star of the show...the rice! But the trick to good Paella is to toast the rice a bit, and managing the heat is serious business, but Rancher Bob, an ax and some hard wood was up to the task.

******

Now comes the hard part! The rice has been toasted gently, all of the base ingredients are in the pan and mixed thoroughly with the rice. But how much stock does one use? That requires a practiced eye and a perfectly level pan, especially when the pan is going to be filled to the brim...

******

Well look at that! Perfect! The trick now is to be very, very patient and don't do what most cooks love to do, which to stir and poke and prod. That is a recipe for disaster with Paella, because the rice has to cook to a perfect firmness but also toast on the bottom of the pan to create one of the glories of cooking. It's called "Socorrat," which is the toasted rice from the bottom of the pan. It's delicious, and wars have been fought over it. Stir the pan and you will screw up the delicate balance of tender rice and crispy bottom layer. Pete Bog policed the pans so that no knuckleheads could get close enough to ruin it, although I tried!

******
Hats off to the people who happily put in many hours of work, buying the raw ingredients, then prepping and cooking and cleaning up after. It is a huge undertaking, and that it came off without a hitch is a testament to their dedication and skill and talent at directing all of the moving parts that have to come together to feed many dozens of hungry Morons!
******
Just send me oysters. Lots of oysters, and I will provide special dispensation for those without taste who insist upon maple syrup with their French Toast. And pork rib roasts from the front end of the pig where all the good and fatty meat lives, carrots that don't taste like stalky chalk, spare bottles of Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 Year Old Bourbon, an herb garden that actually produces herbs (but no basil!), well-marbled NY strip steaks and elk backstrap to: cbd dot aoshq at gmail dot com.

And don't think that the rest of you are off the hook with maple syrup and French Toast: I'm still watching you! And I am watching you perverts who shake Manhattans and keeping a list for the Burning Times.

8 It was real and it was spectacular!

For me, the best part were the ribs. I've seldom had ribs like that. They just fell off the bone, they were so tender...And they absorbed the flavor of all the ingredients to just make a wonderful, unique flavor explosion in your mouth.

Oh, and the rice was pretty good, too!

The kitchen crew that prepped, assembled, and cooked this dish deserve every accolade you can throw their way. They earned it!

16 In dinner news, Aldi's and Safeway sales were the grocery inspiration.

After saying no one would pay what Aldi's wanted for their store-brand rotisserie pork and chicken last week, they cut the price in half this week...so I bought 4 containers (2 pork, 2 chicken). Having tried this (when I didn't know the price and then looked at my receipt and said not again at that price), I know stove top heating and sauce is necessary, so when the son said he wanted mustard, I pulled out that North Carolina mustard BBQ sauce bottle from Safeway (bought a few weeks ago) and I'm gonna use about 1/4-1/3 of it to warm up 2 containers of rotisserie pork to put on buns.

To go with, it's the 69 cent/lb broccoli from Safeway roasted and then dipped in the same BBQ sauce (I want to glaze it, but the spouse vetoed - and kids wanted roasted, not pickled) and some $1 bag Safeway coleslaw (with some black pepper and jarred Marie's sauce).

And TMobile paid for Dunkin Donuts for the kids, so no need for an extra side tonight...

37 Sadly, I have not found shrimp with heads on anywhere in Montana. Some shrimp dishes don't require a stock but I save the shells and tails anyway. I vacuum seal and freeze them for future use.

When ready to use, I saute them with butter and a couple of garlic cloves in water for about an hour. If it reduces too fast, I add more water. When done, it's slightly thickened, and it makes a wonderful base for seafood pastas and risotto.

Never had the sauce or the brand, so tonight will be a journey of discovery (I've had a lot of BBQ, including the white and the vinegary kinds on the east coast, but I can't remember ever choosing the mustard when we drive up and down the east coast to the great state of FL)...

If anyone ever wants to try paella with rabbit, HMart sells whole rabbits as a regular item.

89 I am so impressed by those paella. Kudos to all those who supplied and put them together. Thanks for the photo essay. So sorry we couldn't be there to share in them. Both kinds for me, the non-seafood one for Mrs. JTB.

CBD is correct. Fresh Gulf shrimp, REALLY fresh, is a gastronomic treat. (Not to be confused with the grass shrimp sold as bait on the Gulf coast of Florida. They work great for snook, sheepshead, and snapper but not so much for people.)

Perfessor Squirrel donated some fantastic new tastes in bacon that were highly praised.

109 So many people doing so many things for Morons at the MoMe, even beyond that fantastic yummy food.
I'm still thanking them, even though I left hours ago and am sitting at the airport, waiting for my flight.
I could go forever, but they only give me 1200 characters, and that means that I'd miss someone.

It's truly special kind of people that attend the MoMe. If you were there, you know.

And a special "howdy" to some of my special friends who couldn't make it this year, especially Jewells45 and TonyPete.
I missed you both and hope from the bottom of my heart that things work out for you both.

Ok, I'll drop one name.

121 Here’s one for April. Maybe shrimp wasn’t available in Wisconsin in winter? Also, it appears that abbreviations are no longer necessary in April either.

Shrimp Cheese Souffle

4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons flour
1-½ cups milk
½ teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1-½ cups grated cheese
1 cup shrimp, shredded
4 eggs, separated

Posted by: Stephen Price Blair at October 23, 2022 05:17 PM (EXyHK)

122 Melt butter, blend in flour, add milk gradually and cook until thickened. Remove from heat, add salt, pepper and grated cheese; stir until cheese melts. Add shrimp and beaten egg yolks. Beat whites and add to the first mixture. Pour into a two quart casserole and bake in a 300° F. oven for one hour. Serve at once.

180 Last Sunday I had a very bad stomach borderline food poisoning. I had a bagel with cream cheese and bacon. Today I had a Panera max and cheese with bacon and a near repeat.

I believe I have become allergic to cheese and bacon in combination. I have the sadz.

It could be just struggling with the level of fat/grease in the meal - getting older makes that hard, too...I'd probably try each separately in small quantities after a break of a few weeks...if you feel sick again, yeh, I'm hoping it's the cream cheese for your sake b/c a life without bacon is way worse than a life without cream cheese...

201 106 The Paella was Friday. Saturday is deep fried bacon day to start. Jordan 61 served 18lbs of deep fried bacon to the Horde. Bacon Wench without equal. Perfessor Squirrel donated some fantastic new tastes in bacon that were highly praised. The New Jersey pork roll that Berserker furnished was delicious and probably the only time anyone not in Jersey ever got too taste it. Thank you to Helena Handbasket, Perfessor and Berserker for your very generous donations.

I had something like that in my 30s. My favorite dish - beef enchaladas would increasingly make me sick. Beef and unmelted cheese like a burger was ok. It got to the point where I would have to stop on the way home and throw it up. Oddly, switching to chicken fixed the problem.

He's always happy to help. And to get away from us crazies for a while. LOL.

277 Had a great time at the TXMOME. Thanks to Ben Had and everyone who worked so hard. Loved seeing familiar faces and meeting a whole bunch of new friends. Mrs Mahon loved being able to speak freely without having to filter out stuff that would annoy the woke people she works with.

Hope to make it again next year.

Like many things in the fallen world, you can get it on Amazon... and probably no where else.

290 We've done one for about 15 people on a 22" paella pan. Very tasty.

Posted by: Black JEM at October 23, 2022 07:17 PM (xWZcb)

291 254 Found it:

1.75 liter Canadian Club (8 cups)
4 cans
Eagle Brand milk
1/2 cup choc. syrup
18 oz/4 cups cremora (frozen)

From Nora Nobel.

Not sure they make cremora anymore.

So this looks great if I can find the Cremora. Maybe Jameson instead of CC?

292 That looks so amazing! I bet the smells with all that simmering going on were heavenly. Now I am even less excited about my grilled chicken and green beans. 😂
