Are you having that with coffee in the morning?
there’s a curry I make that’s got a texture close to ground beef chili with 100% less beef. I can post the recipe if anyone is interested but there are like a zillion ingredients so I’d rather there be actual interest before I do.
I’m actually interested, what do you use instead of beef?
Here’s the recipe. You can make a half recipe the first time to figure out if you like it.
- 2 cup green or brown lentil
- 1 cup urad dal
- 1 cup split peas
Rinse all beans and peas until the water runs clear and set aside.
- 1 tbsp soybean oil
- 1 tbsp fennel seeds
- 2 bay leaf
- 2 green cardamoms
- 1 clove
- 1 inch whole cinnamon stick
- 1 star anise
Heat up oil in a big pot or a pressure cooker and add whole spices. Stir fry on medium low heat while you chop onion.
- 2 medium sized onions, coarsely diced
Add onions and keep stir frying. Adjust heat if needed to keep a low sizzle going throughout this.
- 10 fresh jalapenos, veins and seeds removed, coarsely sliced into ~4 pieces each
- 1 medium carrot, ~150 grams, peeled and sliced to taste
- 1 celery stick, coarsely chopped, optional
Add these ingredients as you chop them and keep stir frying enough to prevent burning.
- as much cabbage as you want
- 2-8 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
- 1 tbsp ginger, finely chopped
- 1 28 oz can tomatoes, any kind you like
- 2 tsp turmeric powder or curry powder
- .5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp masala
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp fish sauce
- Iodized salt to taste
Add the mixed beans, enough water to cover them by 1 cm, bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cover and stir occasionally and add water if needed. If cooking in an instant pot, give it 15 minutes on high pressure and wait for the pressure to come down for an hour. Otherwise cook until the beans are soft.
My go to recipe is a screw driver. One packet of orange tang, one pint vodka, one cup of water. Shake well. Chill before serving.
Would that go well with orange cake?
Getting good at making a simple pasta or rice can be super useful. I like making a Mexican bowl with beans, capsicum, beef mince, garlic and whatever else and then either having it with rice or corn chips etc
A one pot pasta and lentils. In a pot caramelize onion and bell pepper, add lentils and tomato sauce, then after boiling them add the pasta.
With or without water?
With water of course 🤭
When I was in university I made my own creation: Poor Man’s Tuna Casserole. I’m a terrible and lazy chef.
Step 1: Make a batch of Mac-n-Cheese (KD or offbrand KD if you’re Canadian).
Step 2: Add a can of tuna (or a portion of a can if you are poor 😉)
Bon appetit!
simple!
Super spicy Korean noodles with soya chunks for protein
How would you make that?
I’m taking about instant noodles. There are Korean ones I found recently that are extremely spicy. They are called nongshim or something like that. Soya chunks I just buy from the store and chuck them in the water as it is boiling.
Oh
The one recipe I make, more than any other, is bread. It’s fast, simple, and aside from being a nearly every-morning staple, it forms the basis for many if our lunches. I make this once a week, throughout the year, and I doubt we make any other single, non-trivial recipe more frequently.
Unless “martini” is a recipe.
Nice recipe
It’s one of the easiest bread recipes I’ve seen, and frankly just as good as and fussy recipe thay requires more steps. This one is just “put everything in a bowl and mix it.”
Now, some breads do need more work that you really can’t simplify and still get the same result, like baguette. But I think people see bread recipes and think they’re a lot of work, get turned off, and never make their own bread. It’s a shame, because it doesn’t have to be hard, and it’s way cheaper - and IMO tastier - when it’s home made.
Kind of like beer bread, easy.
Beer bread?
Tell me more.
beer bread though for that version I would on step 3 just dump it and spread it personally.
Oh, yum! Ok, I’m making that this weekend!
Does the type of beer make a difference? There isn’t much of it; have you tried it with, eg, a stout, vs a lager?
Yes it does, and yes I have. I’d say experiment with it and different dishes to see what pairs with what.
