The: I'm broke and prefer to smoke but gotta eat on the cheap crock pot thread

Not a crockpot... but same idea? 3 ish hours to go for birria tacos.



I had some of the best ones yet over the weekend. I was officiating a wedding and had some time to kill, so I found an abuela owned food truck nearby. I created a recipe based on her instructions — I hope I do her food justice!

 

Just wow.

 

I know that this is a crock-pot thread, but also that there's a couple of people who are cooking Gluten-Free like I am. I've been tinkering with a drop biscuit recipe to go with soups/stews, and I've finally come up with one that works (has the right texture/flavor) like normal biscuits would so I figured I'd share it.

1 ½ cups King Arthur measure-for-measure GF flour (this is my go-to GF flour mix; yours should work too but I know they're all different so YMMV)
4 tablespoons butter
½ teaspoon salt (if using unsalted butter; 1/4 teaspoon if using salted)
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/8 cups milk (1/8 cup is 2 tbsp)

1. Add flour and salt to a large bowl and mix well.
2. Cut butter into flour with a fork or a pastry cutter until well-blended (flour should be in pea-sized crumbs)
3. Add milk and mix well.
4. Drop by spoonfuls (1-2 tablespoons per) onto a lightly greased baking sheet or cast iron griddle (preferred*)
5. Bake at 350 for 15-18 minutes

*I like cast iron over a baking sheet because it takes longer to heat up, which keeps the bottoms of the biscuits from cooking too fast

 

Recipe for this? Looks great!

 

It’s lengthy, but I’ll get what I did typed up tomorrow. Expect 4-6 hours of kitchen time between prep and cooking (depending on meat tenderness).

 

If its not to much trouble that would be awesome. I would love to give it a shot. We eat a ton of Mexican food but rarely ever make it at home.

 

A little Mojo Pork in the crockpot...

Cut up a pork shoulder, bay leaf, jalapeño, onion ,garlic, orange, lemon and lime juices and some seasonings.

Pulled out the bay leaves and pureed the vegetables at the end and added back to the shredded pork. Damn delicious!

 

It may not look appetizing in the crock pot, but it will be delicious on a bed of corn tortillas with shredded cheese, sour cream and jalapenos. It's Pork Carnitas.

Kind of a dead thread, but hoping for some quick advice? I followed a tri-tip sirloin slow cooker recipe that says to cook on low for 6-8 hrs and turn off when meat reaches 145,°. I've only had it on for 3.5 hrs and temp is 180°, but potatoes and carrots aren't even done yet. Should I take the meat off now and let the rest cook through, or turn the whole thing down to warm?

 

Take the meat out and put it back in later to reheat

 

Coincidence, broke mine out for the first time this season to do some Buffalo chicken deliciousness

 

We're still waiting on that birria recipe homeboy

 

Oh shit! I set an alarm to grab my notebook from my office tomorrow. Good calling out, much respect

Thanks, I wonder if there’s a way to do it in the crockpot. Haven’t tried

 

Looks good!


Except for the cinnamon stick… does it work or maybe skip it?
