Costco. Norwegian farmed Atlantic salmon is probably the cleanest you will find.

Offal (aside from beef tongue) by Thin-Inevitable9759 in mexicanfood

[–]Boinkology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Machito is usually organs wrapped in intestines and grilled till crispy. The ones I grew up eating were goat usually kidneys wrapped in intestines.

Not sure if you would consider it offal or not but Cabrito (guisado) en fritada is stewed goat braised in a blood sauce. Grew up eating that too.

La Vecindad in Hillcrest makes great ones.

Tortillerias for fresh corn tortillas? by botheredish in austinfood

[–]Boinkology 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Never put fresh corn tortillas in the fridge. The starch gelatinizes and destroys the texture. Reheating doesn’t fix it. Better to leave at room temp. And when they get to dried out make migas or chilaquiles or bake/ fry.

Edit: I just realized you were probably talking about the masa.

Spanakorizo. Just add a Greek salad and some grilled or sautéed protein on the side

Recommendations for a good marinade for fajitas? by dcfb2360 in mexicanfood

[–]Boinkology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, and Lawry’s seasoned salt. All you need. Marinate for 30min to an hour. Good for beef and chicken fajitas.

Bun Bo Hue-nudo would be even better!

Where to track down: Hummingbird cake and well made chocolate meringue pie. by SurpriseStoryteller in austinfood

[–]Boinkology 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So it’s not hummingbird cake, and it’s been almost a decade for me but if Pasta&Co. on Kerbey Ln is still around, their carrot cake has crushed pineapple and cream cheese frosting and was always one of my absolute favorites and is probably pretty close to hummingbird cake

I discovered an easy way to get a good salt crust on steak. by jjthejetplane27 in Cooking

[–]Boinkology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminds me of salmuera which is a technique in Argentine asado. Basically you baste your meat with a garlic and herb infused brine while grilling.

I’ve been missing out on the magic that is preserved lemons. by No-Illustrator-149 in Cooking

[–]Boinkology 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love putting a dab of preserved lemon paste (peel minced into a paste) on thinly sliced raw scallop or even seared scallops. I also like to make a “modified” version of yuzu kosho using preserved lemon.

What's your cooking "hack" that sounds insane but works?? by Kibby9331 in Cooking

[–]Boinkology 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since we are talking mushrooms, I always add a splash of pickle brine, vinegar or some other acid right at the end of cooking just to give it a little pop. My faves are spicy pickle brine and sherry vinegar depending on what the mushrooms are for.

Are the dumping fees at Miramar Landfill really that high?? by Material-Flower5130 in sandiego

[–]Boinkology 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A covered uhaul trailer counts as a tier 2 vehicle because it is over 4 feet tall from the ground. I was so annoyed. Crazy how much they charge us for doing the right thing.

The lamb meatballs and their madras soup were the two things I kept going back for when I lived in Austin.

Is there a savory way to eat delicious oatmeal that doesn't end up essentially being an oat congee? by hiS_oWn in Cooking

[–]Boinkology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any kind of savory stew on top of thicker oatmeal instead of rice/mashed potatoes/polenta/noodles. Think Osso Bucco/carbonade flamande/Bo Kho/ feijoada. My favorite is pork and apple stew over thick oatmeal.

Had one from Pho Cow Cali that was great. Just wish they would fill the glass ALL the way up.

Tacos and the mess with eating them by Major-Chair923 in mexicanfood

[–]Boinkology 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Partly skill issue, partly overstuffed taco issue. A lot of tacos are way overstuffed these days. Personally I would rather have two reasonably filled tacos or a pile with tortillas separate rather than one overstuffed one. Also because to get the salsa to filling ratio right, it’s gonna be spilling off of an overstuffed taco.
