My friend Julia is here for dinner tonight, this is what I'm going to muster up in the kitchen:

Steak, Mushroom and Roquefort Open Sandwich.

Serves: 2

Ingredients:

2 x 150g (5oz) sirloin steaks

For the mushrooms:

2 very large flat mushrooms
2 x 15ml spoons olive oil

For the Roquefort sauce:

115g Roquefort, crumbled
4 x 15ml spoons fromage frais
1 x 5ml spoon grainy mustard
squeeze lemon juice
freshly ground black pepper

To serve:

2 large handfuls wild rocket
2 large slices sourdough bread, toasted or lightly toasted

Method:

Preheat the grill.

For the mushrooms:

Brush the mushrooms with the olive oil and season well. Grill for approximately 10 minutes or until cooked.

For the steaks:

Heat a griddle pan until hot. Brush the steaks lightly with olive oil and season. Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side or until cooked to your liking. Allow to rest for 2 minutes.

For the Roquefort sauce:

While you are cooking the steaks gently mix together the Roquefort, fromage frais and mustard. Season with lemon juice and pepper.

To serve:

Top each piece of bread with a handful of rocket, a mushroom, a piece of steak and a large spoonful of Roquefort sauce.

Enjoy.

What are you guys cooking up when the need arises?

You do indeed.

Does anyone else ever eat 'FOOD'?

I like to eat food too! It's one of the main reasons I'm still alive today.

STU's CHILI from STU's COOKING ARCHIVE:

Home-made Spicy Chili is really easy to make.
You can make a lot and freeze it or just keep it in the fridge for a week.

Prepare these ingredients:
3 lbs of ground beef
3 onions
2 cans of whole peeled tomatoes
2 cups of canned kidney beans.
2 cups of water
5 Cloves of fresh garlic
1 can of beer
1 Table spoon of chili powder
cumin, paprika, salt, freshly ground black pepper, oregano, basil
1/2 cup of fresh parsely

Brown the ground beef and drain the excess oil.
Dice and saute the onions, add and brown the garlic until they turn transparent.
Mix the beef, onions, kidney beans a large pot.
Add a couple cans of whole peeled tomatoes.
Add one cup of water
Dice the canned tomatoes into small chunks and stir them into the pot.
Chop up some fresh garlic and add that. I recommend a lot of garlic...

Now it is time to add the spices. Season the mixture with chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and a little oregano or basil. The chili powder, cumin, and paprika are the most important spices...You want to season to taste. Mix the chili with a spoon to distribute the spices evenly.

If you want extra spiciness, add cayenne if you want the kick.
A can or two of beer is good for some mellow flavor too.

Bring the chili to a strong boil then reduce to temperature to low heat. Cover the pot with a pot lid and allow the chili to simmer for a long time.
Let it cook. A long time. Simmering two hours from low to medium heat. Four hours is an improvement, but it doesn't get really good until the next day. It is not recommended to leave it on the stove overnight as you'll burn it.. Stir the chili occasionaly to prevent the chili from sticking to the pot.

Store it in the fridge overnight...the chili will still be flavourful even at the cooler temperatures. This recipe makes around 8 servings of chili.

I am an expert in making real Italian Food:

My Pasta:
Good Tomato Sauce with tomato chunks
10 Cloves of Chopped Garlic
Olive Oil
Capers
Anchovies
Penne Rigate Pasta

Cook Pasta till it is Al Dente (don't overcook like most American Resturants do), then mix it into the tomato sauce that has 10 Cloves of Chopped Garlic, Olive Oil, Capers and Anchovies mixed in.

STU's CHILI from STU's COOKING ARCHIVE:

The best Chilli seems to be in the kitchen of Stu, the cumin is so important and most people leave it out, all the other ingredients are so super it would not be chilli without them.

Well done Stu, a perfect dish here and no mistake.

You will find a swedish chef translator there.

I like food. Food is good. When i make my food i dont pay attention to how much i add, or what the end product is. It always tastes good. (to me)



(I like garlic)

[Giancarlo]

Other food I like:

Spanish Food
Italian Food
Argentinian Food (Beef, Beef and More Beef... without Mad Cow Disease)
Chinese Food
Creole and New Orleans Styled Cooking (Too much watching Emeril for me)

You also notice I love garlic, probably because I watch too much Emeril Lagasse Cooking Shows. Ten to Twenty Cloves of Chopped Garlic are adequate.

[Gayowulf]

I agree. I grow garlic. Gourmet garlic, and several differnent varieties of it. Goes for top $

[bigperm]

Guess what? Bigperm is a cook at a 3 star restuarant. Yep... that's what I do... I cook. My favorite thing to cook? (Not in restuarant though) Macoroni and Cheese w/ polish sausage. Hot pockets are good too.

[polestar]

I like 'food', especially waffles.

That reminds me - how funny is that episode of the Simpsons where Homer's making some waffles:

"mmmm..... waffle run-off!"

ha!
