food The Drunken Chef
- Thread starter texas blues
- Start date
Thanks Greg.....I sell medical equipment on the side, so if you need a couple more recipes and a deal on a lightly used defibrillator, just let me know
so in case it hasnt been apparent in my last couple of drunken chef posts, I have been on this kick of basically using up as much stuff in my kitchen before I have to go to the grocery store, and combining ingredients in weird and experimental ways
I still have 7 pieces left of Sockeye Salmon in the freezer, so I decided to break one of them out tonight.
the only starch I have is rice and tater tots, but I have one left over thing of romaine, so I am going to do a salad
I would do blackened, but I did that the last two times with the shrimp, so I decided to go with an asian/thai theme
I was gonna bread the fish in panko, but now I think I am going to do something else. Making some sort of sauce out of peanut butter, soy sauce, EVOO, birds eye chili sauce, sesame seeds, and coconut milk, left over from the curry I did last week.
Should be interesting to say the least....

salad dressing, which turned out meh, someones gonna have to give me a better way to make an oil based dressing than what I just tried. Never did it before, never read a recipe for it, so I just winged it.
flavor is fantastic, but the olive oil really overpowers, maybe I just used too good of olive oil...?
peanut butter soy sauce ginger valencia orange peel, peri peri birds eye pepper sauce

Man you're a healthy eater! That looks healthy and deeelish.

What did you use to make the dressing? Carapelli is good Olive Oil so I would find it hard to believe that was the culprit unless it was an old bottle. What kind of acid did you ues in it?
3 parts EVOO to one part acid is the general rule of thumb. Add the acid (lemon juice, rice wine vinegar etc) with any solids, like parmesan or whatever, then slowly drizzle in the OO whilst hitting it with a whisk.
Plus, I like to dress the greens lightly without using hands. So I'll drizzle the dressing into the bowl, around the sides etc, then drop in the lettuce and just toss it. That way it stays light and the greens stay crisp and don't get drenched in dressing.
But what do I know
Yep sounds like what I learned at the Mamas School of the Culinary Arts. Personally I prefer lemon juice as my acid with some fresh herbs thrown in too but I'm sure there are a million ways to do it. Oh and hey damn tasty looking dog!
Are you sure it wasn't Caster Oil or maybe cod liver oil? Nasty stuff those!
LOL!....not sure there's a 'wrong' type of OO, unless it's ultra cheap or rancid. A good ingredient in any vinaigrette is Dijon mustard, gives it a nice flavor. I think dropping it all in a jar and shaking it might not be giving you the right emulsion of the oil and vinegar. I think if you stick to the 3:1 and remember to whisk in the OO, and not overdress the greens, you can pretty much use whatever herbs, cheese, mustard you want, even hot sauces, spices and dried herbs. You can always make just a bit and try it before hand.
Fricken hey, I only eat fat-man food and here I am giving tips on dressing up a lettuce
