One thing I have gotten a interest in lately is the way people prepare various foods. Does anyone have any recipies they are willing to share?
Weirdly my dad sent me a recipe for chicken soup a few minutes ago, so I guess I'll post it up. He's left a few things out, assumed knowledge like peeling/1 inch cubing the potato etc, but it sounds like a pretty good recipe to me.
I'm really trying to make some nice sauces recently, but only know the basic "white sauce" with flour, milk and butter. Stick flour and butter in a pan on the hob, heat a bit and stir till it makes a paste, then slowly add some milk and stir like mad till it's smooth. Keep doing till you get your desired thickness. Then put grated cheese sauce in and keep stirring. A hang over from the student days, but top stuff over most cheap things like pasta etc.! I'ds like to learn to make pukka sauces though and I'd also love to know how to cook a steak the way they come out in restaurants. Mine are always grey and tough I'd like to cook more asian food, but I've never had asian food cooked by someone who isn't asian that tastes authentic.
Don't knock it until you try it. Ingredients: - 1 can of Spam - 1 box of macaroni & cheese - 1 bottle of ketchup - 1 can of cream of chicken soup - Broccoli, cauliflower and other vegetables optional Instructions: 1) Cook the macaroni and cheese according to the package. 2) Dice up the Spam and precook (microwave of pan fried) as desired. Spam does not need to be precooked. 3) Combine Spam, macaroni and cheese and can of cream of chicken soup. Add vegetables and several squirts of ketchup to preference. 4) Stir thoroughly and heat for 1-2 minutes, depending on amount prepared. 5) Eat.
since i'm vegan, the reciepes are vegan and of course, spicey! ok, let's say HOT! but if you're free-minded and not afraid to try something new, this is it. Vegetable Chili: 3 T. olive oil 1 medium onion, chopped 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 C. chopped mushrooms 2 C. chopped cauliflower pieces 3 C. corn kernels 1 large potato, peeled and cubed 2 carrots, chopped 1 green capsicum, chopped 3 C. kidney beans, cooked and drained 1 can chopped tomatoes with juice 1 C. tmato juice or puree 2 T. chili powder 1 tsp. paprika 1 T. cumin 1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper 2 T. tomato paste 3 T. red wine vvinegar Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sautè onions and garlic untiil onion is translucent, then add the mushrooms and sautè another 8-10 minutes. Stir in the rest of the ingredients one at a time and mix well after each addition. Bring the entire mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer covered for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching on the bottom. Serve hot. {Taken from "Hot Damn and Hell Yeah - Recipes for hungry Banditos"}
mairsil's actually sounds pretty good (Well, besides the ketchup part. Sort of had bad cooking experiences with ketchup and meat). liquitt's also sounds good for a Vegan meal (Spicy is always good). Anywho, does anyone have any recipies for steamed buns with stuff inside, such as Meat or various other fillings (The type you see at Asian all you can eat buffets)
The best advice I have for steaks is to cook them at an extremely high temperature for a short period of time. I cook mine at 700 to 800 on my Big Green Egg. 2 minutes per side then close the vents for another 2-3 minutes depending on how well you like them done. They turn out great when cooked this way. Granted much of the credit goes to the egg, but there is also some skill involved. After mastering the BGE, restaurant steaks just don't cut it anymore. :thumbsup:
I'm not much for cooking dinner, but I am a prolific baker. Cookies, cakes, breads, various sweets. Very fun to make, fairly easy too. Best part is that everybody loves baked goods. You'll be a hero. Cmon...give it a try...no cheating and using prepackaged mixes though.
Well, not complicated so I don't know if it's really a recipe but: 1 Bowl of Rice Crispies (NO MILK!!) add 2 softboiled eggs (remove shells ;p) mix together with a bit of salt eat! Yea, it's wierd. My grandmother used to make it when I was a kid and untill 6th grade I thought everyone ate the stuff ;-) yummy
