Egyptian inspired Fava Fritters waiting to be fried...Yeah, that is a shit load of crushed cumin and sesame seeds.....

(the ones at the top were the last ones I formed, and was running out of cumin and sesame )

When we were in Charlotte with @ROman and Ralph, Ralph took us to a Peruvian restaurant for lunch. We had Aguadito De Pollo, possibly the best soup I have ever tasted.

Trying to recreate it.....

Bolognese

Disclaimer: this Bolognese is not traditional, but it's freakin' delicious. I learned how to make it at a restaurant I worked at over 20 years ago, and it's been in regular rotation ever since. The chef who owns the restaurant eventually came out with a cookbook, which I still cherish and reference to this day.

Firstly, here's all of my mise en place:

Here's the garlic (measure with your heart):

Cook the garlic until golden brown

Next, add the carrots and cook until caramelized:

Add the onions, and again, cook until caramelized. We're trying to develop flavors here and it's important to take our time.

Add the ground beef and Italian sausage, port, marsala, chicken stock, and chopped dried porcini

Spend some time breaking up the protein as it heats up, and once it's consistently distributed in the liquid and cooked, add cream, bay leaves, dried basil, red sauce, and tomato paste. Bring up to a near boil, and reduce to a simmer. Let it cook down for several hours over a very low heat.

Serve with pasta. I like to use Rigatoni and reserve a little pasta water to cook it all together in a pot right before serving.

@seawolf looks fucking delicious and love the step by step break down… I go with something very similar when making lasagna

[seawolf]

@Ikeaparty Daaaaaaamn.

@flannel-slut Heck yeah! That sounds like perfect use of a sauce like this.

@seawolf love bolognese and that sounds great

Nuthin fancy but whipped up some white chicken chili. Keen to do a red chili soon but it’s my wife’s turn next.

I like to throw in the irresistible Garden of Eaten Red Hot Blues tortillas in as “croutons.” They should sell the powder they dust these blue corn chips with, absolute crack.

@mclaincausey This looks lovely. So does your white chicken chili.
