What's Cooking?

[ness]

 

Been a while since I posted - mostly because I have been preparing items I have posted before.

Tried something new last night based on a new product I found.

Once again, I apologize for posting a link rather than making an original. If the bothers anyone, let me know.

By the way the Israeli eggs looked really good.

Looks good, again.

Oh, and the eggs were really good. I simply poached them in this sauce. Don't know how available that is outside the KC area since it's a local restaurant, but very good. Fresh, tomato flavor with a good amount of heat. Had them with a take and bake ciabatta. Really tasty, really easy, one pot.

I was out of town for a while so I haven't made it yet.  I googled it up and it's a guy called "Dr Shakshuka".  

Although the show I saw he put spicy sausage in it too.

I am opting for pan seared strip steaks with Greek and garlic seasoning tonight. On the side I will have tots and a chopped salad. Simple, easy, Ozark living.

I think I could have just dumped the whole thing of seafood pieces in a hot skillet with some butter and garlic, them dumped in a bowl and ripped off a chunk of french bread and opened a cold beer and been happy.

Am actually working well in advance since my wife is out of town, and I am unlikely to.be home to fix supper tomorrow night for my 18 yr old son and 83 yr old mother.  So it's the old reliable, crock pot, some water, some garlic and herb dry soup mix, concentrated soup base, a pinch of Billy Goat seasoning, worchestechire and a dab of liquid smoke and undetermined amount of water.  Took 4 onions and my wife's new and terrifyingly sharp slicer thingy with the angled blade and sliced them super thin in the mix to cook all night long.  Come morning before I leave for Grampa duty I will add the sirloin roast.  Granted one of my least favorite cuts of beef but it came with the rest of the beef. May add a couple of whole potatoes for my son's sake, don't know if they will survive intact cooking that long or not. But the mixture is already heating up enough to start smelling like french onion soup.  If I am home in time I will take a little broth out and make some gravy.  Ain't a green or freah vegetable in sight.  Unless my mom sneaks out and raids the asperagas or lettuce.

MOP - Top sirloin roast can become an absolute Sunday roast star. Check out Cooks Country Sunday Roast on the internet.

IMy gavorite is chuck roasts but this one is looking pretty good, falling apart tender and 4 big ol taters to keep my son in line.  Onions have basically disappeared except for flavor. Dipped out some juice for the gravy which is working now with a little corn starch and water to thicken.  While out with grandson in the big city of springfield I happened to se a package of the big red cased Fricks weiners, which sent us running back to get a jar of sauerkraut.  Since my wife is gone for a while she won't be able to comment on the smell and everyone else can just deal with it.

Good wieners. Kraut. Life is very good.

MOPanfisher, I like the way you think!

I did a whole chicken in the Crock Pot® yesterday. Heavily seasoned with salt, paprika, pepper, cayenne, onion powder, garlic powder, thyme and rosemary. In a plastic bag overnight then started in the AM. Cooked 8 hours on low the a couple more on warm until I got home from the old salt mine. Very tasty and juicy. The skin was dry but not quite crisp. Gonna tweak the seasoning some next time, but the basic idea is a keeper. Good bachelor dish -- ready to eat whenever I roll in.
