Can you post the red thai curry you use? I love me some cabbage, and red thai curry is so flavor packed you can't go wrong.

Yesterday I cooked a port butt in the crock pot with leftover Marsala, seasoned salt, cumin, garlic, and oregano -- it proved tasty. I also got the tortilla press out and made corn tortillas again.
The recipe (2 cups masa, 1/2 tsp salt, 1-1/4 cups water) says to divide the dough in 16 portions, which never come out even, so the tortilla size can vary a lot. I got out the kitchen scale and experimenting by weight, to produce tortillas that are roughly the largest my press can handle.
Turns out 60-62 g works great! I get less tortillas out of a batch, but they are consistently sized.
Pork tacos with salsa and sour cream.
Tonight was leftover night, and I discovered the tortillas don't reheat well. They taste good, but are stiff and crack. They are best fresh, although I certainly enjoyed a second night of tacos!

I tried the curry paste in the grocery store and thought it was bland. A trip to an Asian store a couple times a year is always worthwhile and fun. Some day maybe I'll buy the fresh eels they sell.
Thank you!
Vinny - - I Tried the olive oil dough you mentioned from the Artisan Bread in 5 book. You were right. The dough just about stretches itself out. Easiest dough to shape into pizza crust that I ever handled. I used AP flour and was a bit disappointed in the flavor. Next time I'll use Caputo. I think that'll make a big difference.
How long does it ferment? Usually that determines the final flavor, more time = more flavor, to a point. Adding some sourdough discard adds a decent amount of flavor if you want a same day or next day dough.
Hmm, I always found it to be quite flavorful.
I got the recipe from my sister in law. She says the best pies she has made were when she got distracted and stretched out the time. I usually do a full rise in the oven, then I split them and give them another 45+ to proof on the counter.
Looks pretty tasty!
Those pizza fingers I post, looks like a boring cheese pizza, are amazing with this dough. I always make them first, and it is hard to keep your hands off them, leaving enough room for when the first pizza comes out. It's just a few good glugs of olive oil with a minced garlic clove and a few shakes of oregano mixed in. Spread that on your crust and sprinkle on some mozza, cheddar, and lots of parm. I am not permitted to make anything else first.
Glad you tried it. Let me know how the other flour turns out.

The recipe calls for only a two hour rise which is about all I let it go. Perhaps letting it sit in the fridge for a few days would help.
See my reply to ceeaton above. I only let it rise for a bit over 2 hours.
Dusting off my boots and getting back into curry.
Served on cumin rice with homemade naan.

Cold day, needed to warm up the kitchen. Enchilada casserole, beef base, lot's of cheese, corn tortillas as a base and on top (sorta like a Mexican lasagna). Didn't make it really spicy, but I think this dish could handle a ton more of the warmer varieties of peppers.
Can't post the recipe I followed since it's from a customers magazine we publish. But this one is close, just need to make the enchilada sauce and not use the canned stuff, plus use 45 oz canned tomato sauce to make the sauce.

Oh, and toast the corn tortillas in a skillet beforehand, makes them keep from getting too chewy when the casserole is baked.

A bit warmer today, hit 42. Still enough snow on the ground to really enjoy a hearty beef and vegetable stew.
Homemade fish n chips is far better than anything you can buy. Its a bit of a production, and I usually do it for a crowd because everyone wants it, so it's not one I tend to do very often... But it is sooo worth it.
Watching the beginnings of March Madness and pushing the easy button for dinner. Pork Carnitas with some almost ho-made guac. This went down nicely with an adult beverage (or two)!
I made my first flour tortillas tonight. My previous recipe was GF. Too springy to press them. Used the press to get them flat and round and had to roll them out thin.
Very good, just need to find a press recipe to speed it up.
What started as tacos rolled out to burrito size. We made it work.

I tried crack cabbage last night. I will have to revisit it. The red curry paste I have has WAY too much fish sauce in it.I tried the curry paste in the grocery store and thought it was bland.

Good for you.
The first time I made it I'd say it was good but not great but I knew there was potential. And like I said, there are hundreds of crack slaw recipes out there. Cabbage is a wonderful ingredient.
Now that I think of it, my grandmother was making a crack slaw 60+ years ago. Fry bacon, cook cabbage in bacon grease, chop bacon and add to cabbage. Simple and good!
It was a little late when I got the house wrapped up today.
I was thawing ground beef for egg roll in a bowl. Apparently a crack slaw recipe.. But I opened the fridge and saw that I had bought chow mein noodles. It was a no brainer. Fast and a personal favourite.
Just because this isn't Facebook and we often share the reality, i'll admit I think keeping the house construction free has me rattled.
The what's for dinner behind the scenes is never this!

Pork chops on fire sale, so cubed some and soaked in some soy sauce. Made and cooled some jasmine rice. Easy peasy meal that my kids like, wife can chow down once she gets home from a long day at work (works 1 1/2 shifts on Monday and Friday). Gluten free and yum!
This pizza approved by the Archdiocese of Santa Fe..........
