I wish to be that good eventually, I tried asian dumplings - disaster.

Ill post a few things I did recently, Im learning a lot and all of these posts are first times unless I say otherwise.

Meatballs
Ground beef, pepper, salt, milked breadcrumbs, dry basil, fresh oregano, pan fried in olive oil then baked. Thought about adding chili flakes and ground fennel OR omitting other stuff for those things. Pepper for flakes, basil for fennel.

Hyper bland and bad spinach pea quiche. Fortunately I learned how to do the pastry which turned out great underneath and on the sides, but I didnt have enough to make it look good at the top (Also not trying to present at all, and just cooking for the experience). Topped with shredded mozz, needed way more salt. Needed more eggs, needed more crust.

Basic tuna salad with romane on the bread, posted to show different angle. Redid this with bigger loaf I made, instead of spreading butter in between split bread and frying I just placed soft down in olive oil to crisp up the interior. Was a lot better, no picture of that though.

The larger daddy loaf of the small one. This one had the salt, the correct oil, maybe five times the ground flax, it was itself about 3x as large, and the egg wash was generous. It crisped up nicely and had a good crunch on the bottom (corn meal) and top.

>>9242984
They are a solid muscle, so from top to bottom there are strands of tender tissue. They are sweet and mild and should be cooked medium or they become very tough as they lose moisture.

I would compare them to a much juicier/softer shrimp with maybe some of the flavor of calamari. Not very similar to octo at all. They mostly just taste like themselves though, there is no "poor man's" version of scallops, though you can get bay scallops which can be as small as peanut m&ms, and are really only good in soups or deep fried. You want Fresh Sea Scallops, generally around U12-U8 in size is the dream. They cost between 20 and 40 dollars a pound, depending on where you are from. They are fantastic if prepared properly.

It's really not that hard.

Choose a filling (I had, minced meat, onions and mushrooms) and make the dough. Roll it out, make circles with a cup or something the size you want them. Take circle in one hand, fill with a teaspoon of filling, wet the edge with water (so it sticks together) flap over, close in a fancy or rustic way (my granny always pushed a fork around to close them off). Place into boiling salt water for around 7 minutes.

Let them cool down on an oily plate (so they don't stick). I like to fry them with butter and bacon in a pan till they are a bit cross.

Samefag once more, these are some burgers I made. Homemade buns: a standard bun recipe that came out pretty thick. Beef: chuck steak and rib coarsely minced in my food processor then wrapped around a disk of Camembert cheese cut out a small wheel maybe three inches across. On top of the burger is a piece of pan seared foie gras, an idea I got from a restaurant I'd eaten at. The veggies are fresh arugula and some onions and peppers sautéed in the rendered foie gras fat. Probably one of the richest things I've ever enjoyed, totally worth the four hours of effort.

That fillet mignon is an amazing color and it looks like you got the crust perfectly golden. Is that a traditional mushroom duxelle? It looks like garlic.

I GET THE APPEAL OF AVOCADO
FINE
OK
IT'S NOT A MEME
but please can we at least bring out the best from all our ingredients?
when you put avocado on a salad it makes perfect sense to leave it in slices because you blend the ingredients considerably and the chewing process conincides reasonably with flavor release from greens and other veggies
but slices on things like sandwiches and other saltier dishes make no sense. the meats/pickles/cheeses are probably all directly providing flavor granted, avocado is meant to balance everything out, but it should DO EXACTLY THAT. so why the hell would anyone have giant chunks of avocado that miss its early chance at balancing the other flavors when a smaller quantity in a lightly processed form would both complement while not disrupting the composition of a sandwich or burrito or whatever. Some "sushi", for example does it right with thin slices that are layered on one another. please can just fucking use our brains?

The grain wasn't mushy. It was cooked perfectly.
As for the soupyness I was taught that risotto should be very creamy.
Like pic related.

I saw your Risotto earlier and it looks very nice. The only thing I'm wondering is how long you toasted the grain for.

Can you even cook?
None of my haters actually post their own cooking btw. Just a pattern I've noticed

thats creamy, yours is soupy

you must have not used hot stock, or were impatient and put too much in a once

>>9250400
I use very hot stock and I only add one laddle at a time.
I think it's the camera really, because it tasted creamy as fuck.

>>9250400
again I really dont see how a soupy risotto could physically do this>>9250176

I used to do that too. The correct way is to make a garlic butter, or it will just burn like that every time. Or alternatively you make a garlic infused oil and fry them in that/oven bake them with it brushed over the top.

>pan fried after boiling them in butter garlic basil and sage

Wait what. You pan fried them in regular oil after boiling them in some kind of leafy water with garlic in it? Why wouldn't you fry off the aromatics and then pan fry the gnocchi after boiling in salted water
