and that's it?
that's all you say?

don't make me hunt you down and choke the recipe out of you

Sure.

Costco frozen cod pieces, thawed.

Batter is flour, cornstarch, buttermilk, fizzy water, Lawry’s, garlic salt, onion powder, and black pepper.

Fried for 5-6 min in peanut oil at 350-375.

High five Bigdaddy! I made fried fish tonight as well.

Beer batter


Rock cod going for their final swim




Wrap in a crispy fried corn tortilla with avocado crema, cabbage, tomatoes, and cotija cheese

Fish tacos look absolutely fantastic cs, but I still stand firm behind the opinion that you can’t feed a family with a codpiece.

Thank you! I do my best, and the results are sometimes pretty good. I don't really have a culinary upbringing to speak of. I do think it is accurate to say I have embraced Indian (of course, there are many types) cooking. The Detroit area has a very large Indian and Bangladeshi population, and over the past handful of years, I've had a lot of exposure to their cuisines. It turns out I like Indian food a lot. I've mined my Indian friends for tips and recipes, and I've really enjoyed improving my skills and knowledge with regards to Indian cooking. A close Indian friend of mine thought it was amazing when he found out I keep a masala box in my kitchen.

My biryani is sometimes a little too wet, and my homemade paneer crumbles too much, but I'm working on it.

Solid codesis.

Late to the party but bravo Xaston, Space, cs3 & Bigdaddy!

Curious what places you like in the Detroit area for Indian/Bengali.

Here's a menu (look closely) I wont be basing a chefs dinner on, fascinating nonetheless:

General tsos chicken and cauliflower

looks great miami...much better than the stuffed donkey head yim posted.

+1 on all points!

Wouldn't be too eager to eat cat, rat, or mice, but some of those meats are pretty good. Kangaroo is delicious.

Elephant consomme, wow! How do you butcher an elephant? Once you break it down, how do the cuts compare to other animals?

Interesting article, thanks for posting yim.

Mom’s chicken taco meat and spanish rice.

Easy to make and just the best.

harkin,
more please

Favorite risotto flavors? Been making the Serious Eats mushroom version in the InstantPot and looking to branch out.

If you've got access to good Saffron, then give that a try. Absolutely superb.

KJS, haven't tried risotto in the instapot but you've inspired me. obviously as joe suggested saffron would spark it up and i know you have access to good saffron in the PDX metro area (all depends if you're willing to pay full freight).

i did find a serious eats corn risotto recipe here, and what happens with the leftovers at the end is very intriguing

How is instapot risotto? I like risotto but always figured it involved sweating over a hot stove and having a sore arm from all the stirring.

Best risotto I ever had was on that little island of Venice, Murano? The same fish stick risotto from the restaurant that Bourdain went to.

I am no expert on it but I satisfies me. I tried It on both high and low pressure for 5 mins and both needed a bit of stirring after. Still 15 mins of sautéing mushrooms, onions and rice beforehand so not off the hook completely. Kenji’s recipe has soy and miso paste so very umami. Worth making for sure.

Definitely making this in corn season. Cheers!

This is my favorite recipe for risotto. You make risotto, then you shave a metric **** ton of white truffle on it. Bit of brown butter to top it off and voila, you’re living the dream.

Thomas Keller knows what’s up.

I posted the Kenji risotto on NYE. Considering the amount of effort, it's really good.

I will be trying that corn risotto. Thanks for the link, red!

KJS, here’s a crazy suggestion about a way you can up the flavor of your risotto: plop some yummy scallops on top like Randall did.
