USCHO Cooks: Open Your Mystery Basket.

Re: USCHO Cooks: Open Your Mystery Basket.

I haven't had rainbow trout in ages. We used to cut the heads off and scale them, wrap them in bacon, and grill them whole.
 
Re: USCHO Cooks: Open Your Mystery Basket.

So here's an interesting question:

I have some scallops at home. But my only pans are either (a) a gigantic cast-iron dutch oven or (b) have non-stick coating. So, unless I want to do scallops in the dutch oven, I am stuck with pans that I really don't like heating above medium unless there's a lot in the pan.

So how should I go about cooking my scallops? On a baking tray in the oven? On a baking tray under the broiler? Slowly on medium heat?

Made monkfish wraps with mango salsa, sriarcha mayo, and lettuce. Quite the delicious dinner. Pan seared the monkfish and that was it. Simple and good.

Don't over cook them, I'd grill them
 
Re: USCHO Cooks: Open Your Mystery Basket.

My nephew wants to make apple turnovers. I could do it the easy way, but every boy should know how to laminate dough, so we're making <a href="http://sweetpeaskitchen.com/2011/10/apple-turnovers/">these</a> (more or less) from scratch (actually, we're laminating because I think he'd like the science behind it). Might add some caramel.

Rubbed pork chops with brown sugar and yellow mustard tonight. Figured it works on ham, so why not pork chops? I just think next time, use Dijon or whole grain mustard instead of plain yellow.

Porks ribs, that I threw some rub on this morning, smoked this afternoon along with Asparagus, good stuff
 
Re: USCHO Cooks: Open Your Mystery Basket.

I made Canada Day treats for work - <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.ca/recipe/brown-butter-tarts-with-maple-and-nutmeg/12909/">Brown Butter Tarts with Maple and Nutmeg</a>. A Canadian friend of mine mentioned butter tarts to me last year, and I've wanted an excuse to make them ever since. They are, not surprisingly with a pound and a half of butter, delicious.

I had no idea there were Canadian versions of Food Network shows. I wonder if they've ever cooked moose? :D

I was watching some Food Network show, that was a Canadian version, but they said specifically during the show that they were at a restaurant in Colorado. In the credits they had the logo for "filmed in Canada". I have no clue what they were doing there.
 
Re: USCHO Cooks: Open Your Mystery Basket.

Tried a new <a href="http://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/kouign-amann">Kouign Amann</a> recipe and it was insanely delicious (like the last one).

only drawback was I didn't put sheet pans under the muffin pans, so had to clean my oven for the second time in a week.

also I picked strawberries last week - managed to keep it to only 16 pounds. Already made strawberry ice cream, and making strawberry cupcakes later this week.

Mrs. goldy made a strawberry-rhubarb pie and canned several pints of preserves from what she and Jr picked Friday (something over 20#). Also have had strawberries plain and in salads a few times since then and gave some to friends who came over to watch the fireworks.

I ended up freezing only 8 pounds, which is a completely manageable total. Does she do the whole water-bath canning thing? That is intimidating to me for some reason.
