Avocado, citrus, Zamorano cheese, hazelnuts, guanciale

Damn, guanciale? I've been looking for that around my parts and I haven't been able to find it. But I haven't been looking too hard. You think it's worth the trouble to find it?

[ninetynine]

Just ate lunch but...

[_ironman]

made eye of round roast. like the duck, $2/lb why the hell not

followed some random recipe 475 F @ 7 minutes per pound, then turn it off and leave it in there for 2.5 hours. it actually did a wonderful job cooking it and making this lean cut of meat pretty soft

it's no angus prime rib but for the price would definitely do again

It was great, but I haven't eaten much guanciale at all. Nice and nutty...almost all fat. There is this new little butcher shop/salumeria in austin and I went in during their pre-opening "open house" to buy some lardo. Talked to one of the dudes for a while and he sent me home with some of the guanciale to try, too. The lardo was cured with paprika and was awesome.

Made this the other day. Bay scallops, carrots and beets roasted with vanilla, vanilla and katsuobushi panna cotta, grapefruit supremes marinated in fish sauce, sorrel yogurt, black radish:

And happy morel season, everyone (morels, ricotta, vermouth pan sauce):

[okonomi]

Made cheeseburgers with my first attempt at making brioche buns. Too busy making the next batch to take proper photos.

Edit: v2. Made these ones with gruyere cheese, caramelised onions and rosemary aoli.

Yo man, recipe for the miso tuille?

[youkinorn2]

Yo man, recipe for the miso tuille?

1 egg white

2 Tbsp sugar (adjust a little either way depending on context)

.25 C flour

1.5 Tbsp butter melted

miso to taste...I use about a tbsp of shiro. Adjust salt depending on how much you use.

Whisk together the egg white with the sugar, then add the flour in gradually. When it's smooth, add the butter and miso and stir it to combine...try not to get too much air into it.

If the batter is too loose, add some more flour. If it's too thick, add a bit of milk or cream. You just need to be able to spread it thin on a silicon mat.

Bake at 350F/175C until it starts to brown (maybe 10 minutes ish). As soon as it's cool enough to handle, mold it to whatever shape you want and let it set up.

They end up tasting like a great combination of a fortune cookie and club cracker haha.

(Sorry for the volume measurements and iffy procedure...only done this a couple times, and mostly just based it on the texture of the batter)

lamb chop, cumin blackberry yogurt, fresh peas and berries, pickled hedgehog mushrooms, fried and raw mint.

[ninetynine]

minced beef

[_ironman]

made pho from scratch. fucked up and used neck bones for the soup instead of knuckle bones and oxtail

soup was pretty void of impurities and decently clear, but was oilier than i expected. i should've refrigerated to let it congeal and skim it

i'll use oxtail next time, but shit costs ~$5/lb; my beef cost like $3.50/lb
