I LOVE, love LOVE chicken livers. Sauteed in butter and olive oil, a sprinkle of kosher salt while they're frying. Keep them just pink in the centers or they'll be too dry and tasteless.

Where's the Caribbean food?!
My grandma was from PR, I was raised on it.
This thread is making me hungry with all these great pics, time to go cook something up!

Tu eres Boricua..????? Ay, carajo! Es mi familia, tambien! Habichuelas con arroz, si? Y arroz con pollo, tostones, platanos maduros (my favorite and I'm not even kidding about that), pasteles con yuca, mofongo con yuca, yuca con yuca (kidding), sorullos, and my own specialty (outside of habichuelas) -- empanadillas. Empanadillas de queso, de carne, de vegetales, y, DE GUAYABA.

I haven't made empanadillas in YEARS. Nor sorullos, but I do have some Amapola corn flour/meal in the cupboard.

Pernil, anyone? I make a pretty bomb pernil, even if I do say so myself.

Mia, my grandmother wrote a cookbook on cooking in San German. I have some favorite recipes from the book, including the stuffed (Gouda) cheese ball and a chicken and garbanzo pureed soup that's very good for you while also being quite tasty.

Have you tried Rumaki?

Pineapples!

Pineapples!

Lunch for today.. These tomatoes are "ok" in my book. Not as good as the Brandywines or Cherokees. STILL waiting for my Lifters to ripen up

No I haven't, never even heard of it. Educate me, please.

You might like it. It's chicken livers wrapped in bacon and baked (or skewered over flame) in teriyaki. I usually have duck breast the same way, instead of the liver (Dove season starts Sep 1st. Dove brest would be PERFECT! Mild liver-iness dark meat that is DELICIOUS). Most folk will put a chestnut in the center. I generally skip that part. Sorry, I don't have any pics ATM, but a quick google search should bring up lots of images and even a variety of ideas through recipes It's a bit of a poormans front dish, but a clever cook could make it their own..

After the homemade lasagne, has to follow a homemade pizza.

 

[SeaMaiden]

I'll try that lasagna, Herman.

Night before last was Thai basil eggplant with scallops and shrimp, preceded by fresh rolls. I'm addicted to fresh rolls now, and I think I'm learning to make them pretty well.

Dave's been on me to make a pot of habichuelas, but he keeps forgetting to buy me the right kind of beans! I need black beans or black-eyed peas. I have red beans, but don't care as much for them. Maybe I should just make them.

rumaki =. chicken livers wrapped around waterchestnuts...wrapped in bacon and broiled.....

splendid w/ orange marmalade and horseradish....dipping sauce

 

[Hank Hemp]

I always eat BEFORE I check out this thread. Yum but not liver, sorry. Got any chicken gizzards. Fried squirrel with biscuits and gravy. Maybe some fried okra or hominy.

 

[SeaMaiden]

I just cooked some up last night. I freeze all the innards they put in the whole birds, then when I'm ready to make a pot of stock I thaw them out, separate out the organs from the necks and other bits best used for stock, then sautee off the innards and use the other parts for stock. The dog usually gets the gizzards, but those are my son's favorite bit, those and the hearts. We fight over the livers.

 

[Hank Hemp]

Please tell me you don't give the dog gizzards.

 

[DeepestCover]

DAMN, this thread is making us all hungry, I need to make something worthy of posting real fast ! See u in couple of hours

 

[SeaMaiden]

Please tell me you don't give the dog gizzards.

No, I don't, she's not that special. She gets the boiled necks and tails.

Maybe it´s delicous but it looks like a exploted zombie.

I love this thread!

Here a typical german meal "Erbseneintopf", pea stew, more for winter or autum, you can freeze it and the following days it tastes better and better. It´s includes smoked pork chop, cooked sausage, carrots, potatoes, peas of course. We eat it with spoon and fork, the fork is for dipping the meat in mustard.

Smoked Salmon



so this was seasoned and placed to dry before the tri tip was prepared... then once the tri tip was cooked the Salmon was placed in the smoker.

then smoked for 16 hours....
