What's Cooking?

[Bushbeater]

Fish is becoming our traditional Easter Dinner. Walleye is preferred but couldn't come up with any this season.  Fried White Bass with Roasted Potatoes and steamed Asparagus. And of course a couple cold adult beverages. Sorry, can't attach images this evening.

ness 2.1 and 2.3 were coming over so I decided to actually cook. Fried chicken, mashed taters and gravy are a favorite so we did that. 

Seems to be an issue with pictures  tonight so you’ll have to use your imagination

      Hank's turkey Mole,

         Pretty complex and time consuming making the mole but well worth the effort. Four different varieties of dried chilies toasted and rehydrated plus other spices, seeds raisins, bittersweet chocolate, onions, garlic, charred tomatoes and tomatillos are just some of the stuff in it. Blender was running overtime. Then a salted half of a wild turkey breast put in it and simmered until a internal temp of 150, yes 150 pink and with a slight blush. Wild game taken care of, cleaned properly unlike domestic fowl does not need to be cooked to death. This temp and cooking in the mole produced a moist tender piece of meat. You could cut it with a fork except for where the leaders and wing butts met,

       

     Now to the funny part. Can you believe the BilletHead's have never eaten grits? Wanting to pair something in the theme of this way, way south of the border dish we looked up what may work and ended up doing creamy cheese grits with chilies. Then some bean greens too ,

  Totally amazed at this meal. Oodles and gobs of mole left to freeze and make enchiladas with later. 

   For Terrierman   " I would of been a good Mexican" ,

I sure like he sound of all that! Never have done a mole, but it’s been on my mind for a long time. How’d you like that part of the dish? Any changes you’d make next time?

I love me some grits! Never had them growing up because my dad ate them so much when he was young that he wouldn’t allow it. I’ve got a really good shrimp and cheesy grits recipe. Sometimes make them for breakfast with some cheese, ham and hot sauce.
