food The Drunken Chef

I shall call this

What do you mean this is diet food?

Well this is how we do it in the FloPo. Starting off with some nice lean Pork Loin Chops. Marinated for 30 minutes in a Mesquite and Fatalli marinade and then into the CI with some Olive Oil.

While they are browning trim and cut up a head of Cauliflower and add to a pot of salted water and boil till tender.

At the same time take some sweet onion and garlic and saute them til the onion is translucent.

After the chops have browned on both sides place the CI into a 350 degree F oven for 30 minutes.

The "everything is blurry infront of me, yet I'm aware of everything that is going on around me" pics really tell the story Rocket. Perfect for this thread.

Fist bumps FloPo Bro.
 
Sic, damn now I’m hunger for meatloaf, and extra points for the vodka balancing act.

RM, nice, I’ll have to try the mashed cauliflower, it looks delish.

SO here is my New Mex themed concoction from last night.

Ingredients; Green Chile Chicken sausage, a bag of fresh roasted green chile, green chile beer, and the spices and 3 cloves roasted garlic are missing.

Sweet potato fries dredged thru, 2 parts corn starch, 2 parts conf. sugar, and 1 part flower, been trying different methods to get crisp sweet potato fries, this one worked rather well and wasn’t too sweet.

Sausage, 2 Chile Cerveza, ½ an onion, 1 jalapeno, 3 cloves roasted garlic, and fresh cracked black pepper, was reduced by ½ to 2/3.

Beer, veggies and sausage juice, into small sauce pan, with a pinch of roasted cumin, oregano, and basil. Next comes a game I call hide the onion.

Just a tip for those who use stick blenders, simply cut a cross into a paper plate.

You can see the mess it would have made.

Part two.

Sauce post hide the onion, I think this actually made the sauce better. I reduced the sauce further over low heat.

Fries ready for deep fryer, post 20 min wait.
IMG_0198.jpg


Sausages ready to come out of the oven. I would have liked to do these on the grill but it was windy as hell, the air was full of sand, and sandy food doesn’t make good eats! P.S. 500 ̊F oven temp.

Sauce with green chile added and heated thru.
IMG_0207.jpg


$hot. Added the cheese and tossed under the broiler to melt. A thin layer of mayo on the bottom to seal it and keep it from getting soggy, with 2 dried Fataliis for flavor and heat. I wanted to make a nice chipotle mayo to dip the sweet potato fries in but, :drunk:

Damn PK, it's too bad that last pic didn't show up in your post. I just got done eating, but I would eat that right now!

My wife wanted to go out for wings tonight, but the Minnesota State High School Hockey Tournament is on TV, so I made some at home.

I usually grill wings at home in an attempt to be healthy, but it's cold and windy out there. And like I said, there's some damn good hockey on TV...so into the hot oil they go!
