I found cooking tricky when I was on crutches! I can’t imagine having to food prep with only one arm & my teeth
What did you Keto today? Part Deux!
I ran out of the Parmesan/garlic/basil butter I found at the local Kroger and found a tub of whipped butter that has been unopened in my fridge forever. It was still good.
So… I got out my hand mixer, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder and basil and started experimenting. I declare the end product a success! Packed it back into the container the butter came in and set it on the counter to use.
Sous vide smoky cocoa nib pork tenderloin with stir fry garlic ginger gai lon (aka Chinese broccoli). And a nice Argentinian Malbec per the recommendation on the holiday podcast (direct from the LCBO).
Smokey-cacao-nibs-encrusted-pork-chops!
Fresh Italian Sausage and Chicken Thighs (both cooked on the grill). Egg salad (with avocado, raw cauliflower and chopped bacon), misc cheese plate.
Put my parents Christmas Gift to use!
1st attempt
So Easy
Not the fanciest of pics
Dinner/OMAD for tomorrow ( not all at once )
5lb pork butt
Eggs and bacon deluxe! A seafood cocktail and hand-created coleslaw are supported by market-sourced bacon alongside sous vide eggs, then surrounded by ham, pickled cucumbers, pickled jalapenos, ham, brie, on a bed of fresh iceberg lettuce.
You can see the creaminess of the yolk HERE if you are so interested.
Terrific Tofu! Firm ‘organic’ tofu, tossed in coconut flour before being fried in fresh house-made ghee, before being finished with a chilli vinegar sesame sauce and crushed peanuts, and served with garlicy Asian greens and mushroom.
Ever tried ox liver?
Tastes similar to calves liver but my butchers sells calves liver for £11 per kilo and Ox for £1.60 per kilo go figure…! You’d think it would be a lot stronger but I can’t really tell the difference. Cook the same way as the chicken livers…
I have yes, not keen tbh. I’ve managed to hide it in with other meats but wouldn’t want it on its own.
Finally starting to get a hang on sous vide. 50°c for 6+h stored in the fridge, 1-2 minute sear on each side… Devine…
This cut of meat was very evenly cut and about a half and inch thick or a bit more. Huh. Almost like a steak. So I gave it a whirl. Not very pink inside, but pretty tender! I da-rown that sucker in butter. I like it!
I also am quite in love with my new ceramic pot. It might be a big part of my success today.
Also, I wasn’t surprised by how cool it was inside, which helped.
Another part of my success… constant flipping that I learned on today’s show.
