What Are You Eating?

Love everything but the hellopeens, gotta leave them out. You know hot going in, hot going out!
There are varying degrees of hot; I've got a bumper crop growing this year. It seems the variety I planted are quit mild. I used the seeds and veins too and it added some heat. A bit more heat than ketchup. ;-)
 
Had a ‘do’ yesterday and used the smoked pork and the pork belly I’d been sous viding. It was stellar, as I’d hoped. Put the pork in convection oven with no heat to dry the skin and then later whacked it to 450 to git er dun. So lovely to share food with friends and have a shindig. A pal made the cheesecake. It was all quite epic.

Vietnamese style grilled squid, coho belly and collars. Jasmine rice, nuoc cham and a bunch of herbs. I might have to grill squid more often vs pan frying. Was super good.

Followed this recipe for the marinade and it’s definitely something I’ll make again.

That does look good! You even have the proper basil and cilantro too!

It helps when I have a Vietnamese focused grocery store two blocks from my house. The squid scene on the local piers is dominated by the SE Asian community and I’ve always been curious what dishes they prepare with squid. I’m sure I’m doing it all wrong but it tasted pretty legit 😁
 
My mom and grandma used to make that all the time. YUM 😋
Recipe please. (They never passed that one down to me) Thanks

My suggestions after making this several times:
  • Use homemade stock and extra parsley in the overall recipe.
  • You can cook your own chicken, or save time and get a cooked one from the store. This way you get dark and light meat--mo' betta.
  • Skip the pearl onions altogether. If you really think you want them, cut the amount at least by half, lest you get one or two pearl onions in every single bite. I like pearl onions and all, but not THAT much. The 2C of chopped onion seems to be plenty of onion flavor.
  • Don't bother rolling out biscuit dough and cutting out biscuits. You want to work biscuit dough as little as possible. Add a glug of extra cream over what the recipe calls for (it will be too dry otherwise), mix it lightly by hand so it gets all stuck to your fingers, and just place little drop/patty biscuits on the top, then brush with the egg wash.
