JoeHoya Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Can't speak to the boudin yet, but the kielbasa was delicious for dinner tonight. Per Chef's suggestion, I poached it in water for about 20 minutes before pan-searing it. The flavors were rich and spicy, with a meatiness that I haven't tasted in a store-bought kielbasa before. Served with a garlic aioli mustard from Trader Joe's, it hit the spot. I missed that unnaturally pinkish color for a moment or two, but I quickly warmed to the natural coloring and am looking forward to cooking up the next one ASAP. The salami - cured, coated with mold, and dangling from a string perfect for turning any kitchen into the set of That's Amore! - was redolent with garlic and had a soft, juicy texture that gives a pretty good idea of just how much fat goes into these things before the curing begins. Delicious in large chunks. So glad I caught ChaCha's post this weekend...we'll be writing about the experience (and sharing a picture of Chef Stachowski in his holiday finery) over at Capital Spice this week.

hillvalley Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 One of the more fun (and tasty) experiences I've had because of this board in a very long time. I'm trying very hard not to comment on watching men share their meat with each other. And Greg the lurker, time to sign up and start posting. It sounds like you aren't doing anything with your time during the day anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcanuck Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I'm trying very hard not to comment on watching men share their meat with each other.Waitman was very generous and saved the last half of the Salami Cotto for me (I arrived about 5 minutes late). But there IS something disconcerting about a guy - especially Waitman - saving a nice long piece of spicy fatty meat for me. I also picked up a couple of slabs of the pate de campagne and the smoked kielbasa. I think all that, along with the bottle of Hendricks and case of Fever Tree tonic, will form the basis of my solitary festivities tonite. Thanks to Jamie and Carolyn for bringing the bounty to us. Next time....BRING MORE!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ummm, yeah. and start chirpin about the name. Jamie is finally realizing our his dream, and putting together a formal business selling and distributing his charcuterie. I'm not sure why "Stachowski Brand Charcuterie" isn't the leading contender for the name! What was the other idea - someone else will have to pitch in - it was non-memorable enough that it already slipped my mind. MeatSomethingorother. I came home with bresola, pate, venison sausage, and chicken brats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanielK Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I came home with bresola, pate, venison sausage, and chicken brats. Update: my 9-year-old daughter, who wouldn't even touch a burger at Ray's after the parking lot pickup, scarfed down bresola, venison sausage, and the chicken brats at dinner (along with some baguette, salad, and brie.) She wouldn't touch the pate, but the 11-year-old happily ate a double portion. I like that my kids prefer real food to chain and fast-food crap, but it's an expensive victory...

DanielK Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 So your kid will eat Bambi but not Babe? Hamburgers, and other ground meat (meatloaf, stuffed cabbage) seem to be on the "reject" list. Steak itself, not a problem - she's taken down an entire hanger at Ray's before. And her favorite Jewish joke: "If God didn't want us to eat pig, he wouldn't have wrapped it in bacon." No problem eating Babe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agm Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Bresola and smoked kielbasa for dinner last night. Yes, sometimes life is good. The bresola's gone, but we have plenty of kielbasa left ... for now. A couple of friends dropped by around 9:00 last night. None of us was particularly hungry, but we decided to taste the pate de campagne, along with some 12-grain bread from Heidelberg. So much for not being hungry. It's gone. But we still have a few tasty treats to look forward to. "Stachowski Brand" is the way to go. So, when's the next drive-by? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
