ndcent,

Whats Hominy? is it a kind of beans?

Are those really chili? or bell peppers?

Caaann...you post the ingredients and the procedure as well? (if it does not consume your time) Thanks!!

ever had corn nuts? thats hominy. when cooked its like a soft puffy corn. its good pending how you prepare it. that way looks prettttttyyyy goooooood. mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

LOL! thanks...ha, ha! pardon my ignorance as I didn't grow up here. I went to the grocery, now I know that hominy is just "maiz". i love corn specially in a recipe like that.

What's nice about hominy in chili is that it's very much the consistency of a bean, and not a ton of flavor but provides good substance.

There are no bell peppers in the chili, it's a variety of hungarian, anaheim, etc.

I have the recipe at home in writing, will post asap.

Here's a favorite...



SPICY THAI BEEF SALAD

Salad:

1 1/2 pounds sirlion or flank steak

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 Tbsp freshly ground pepper

6 cups red leaf (or any other type) lettuce, torn into pieces

1 large cucumber, peeled and sliced

1 tomato, cut into pieces

1 small onion sliced into bite size pieces

1/3 cup (10g) fresh mint leaves, chopped (optional)

Dressing:

1/3 cup fresh lime juice

1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped

1 1/2 Tbsp brown sugar

1 Tbsp soy sauce, low sodium

1 Tbsp water

1 Tbsp fish sauce, bottled

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 serrano pepper, red Thai pepper, or jalapeno pepper seeded and minced

Directions

Preheat grill or broiler.

Prepare dressing: Combine all dressing ingredients in a jar or bowl; mix well. Set aside.

Salt and pepper both sides of steak. Place steak on a grill rack or broiler pan coated with vegetable oil spray. Cook to desired doneness – medium rare or rare is best. Let stand 5 minutes. Cut steak diagonally across the grain into thin slices. Cut each slice into 2-inch pieces. Save the juices and pour over salad, too.

Prepare salad mixture, pile on plater. Top with sliced steak, pour dressing over all.

Serve with rice – basmati rice is excellent!

Mad Hungry now, Pulled pork is my favorite meal.

Yea that one is my favorite so far. Can anyone else tell me they feel dumb too explaining to their girlfriend/wifes why we are taking pictures of our food? Not that it gets any better when they find out were posting it on the interwebs . . .

I explained to her what I was doing and she encouraged me to post!

that cleary means she thinks she was the head chef

Hope you don't mind a dinner not from tonight. I have been taking photos of some of my favorite meals for a while. Every now and then I'll come across them as I search through old photos.
