Request: High fiber recipes that are tasty

Greetings r/recipes,

I've recently changed my diet significantly for health reasons and I'm looking for suggestions on high fiber meals.

The last few days I've stuck with vegetarian options of beans and lentils. Wheat bread and whole grain cereals.

Care to share with me your favorite recipes for a diet change like this?

Thanks!

My grandmother used to make oreos that were absolutely amazing, she's gone now and I don't have the recipe so I'd like to try to recreate it the way she made them. What I remember is:

1 box devils food cake mix eggs crisco

for the filling tin of cream cheese cake icing vanilla box of powdered sugar

Can anyone make a viable recipe from this? I know there are plenty of recipes out there for homemade oreos but I want hers.

We're calling it "wung" cake.

It's raining and we wanted cake, but we're out of cocoa powder and butter. However, we have bisquick and pudding mix, so I decided to wing it: 2 cups bisquick 1 package chocolate pudding mix 2 eggs 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/3 cup milk vanilla 2tbsp oil

Combine sugar, oil and eggs in one bowl. Add vanilla. Combine bisquick and pudding mix in another bowl. Add wet ingredients to dry, bake at 375 for 20-25 mins.

Garbanzo Bean Stew Stuffed Delicata Squash

I was recently given a Delicata squash.

Ingredients

• 1 Delicata Squash, halved down the middle horizontal
• 1 cup garbanzo beans
• 1 whole onion, chopped
• 3 tsp oil
• 1/4 cup stock/water
• 4 cloves garlic, chopped
• 3 roma tomatoes, diced
• 1 15oz can tomato sauce
• 1 6oz can tomato paste
• 1 tsp dried basil
• 1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese
• 1/2 tsp cayenne
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp cumin
• salt and pepper
• cilantro for garnish

Cooking

1. soak beans in a bowl of water over night. cut open squash and remove seeds and core. rub with a little bit of olive oil and the salt and pepper. place in a baking dish and then place in the oven and have ready to bake.
2. In a large sauce pot, add the beans and water and boil for 15 minutes. once beans are softened, drain beans and set aside. in the same sauce pan, now dried, add in the oil and onions and garlic and cook until onions are soft and garlic is scented. add in the beans, tomato paste, tomato sauce and the stock/water. combine and mix well on medium heat. once the tomato paste has combined and dissolve, add in the spices and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover an cook on low heat for 25 minutes.
3. while stew is stewing, place squash in an oven at 350F for 20 minutes. remove the squash and set aside until stew is done. once stew is ready, add portions of it to each hallowed out half of the squash. sprinkle on the goat cheese crumbles and place back in the oven on broil for 2 minutes, while rotating. once the cheese looks "melted" or softened, remove from oven. garnish with cilantro and serve. I ate this with baba ganoush and Lebanese rice.

First time cooking trout, need ideas.

Was at a local fish market today and saw these delicious looking fresh trout fillets. I've personally never tasted trout and thought they looked good enough to give it a go. Im not a terrible cook, and I do make a lot of fish but I've never done trout so I don't want to mess it up! I need some tasty recipe ideas for my first time. I'll put a list of things I have available in my house but I wouldn't be opposed to making a trip back to the supermarket to pick up a few more ingredients.

 

• Tons of dried and fresh herbs and spices. Likely if you name it I've got some.
• Olive oil, peanut oil, and vegetable oil
• Fresh peppers (green), onion, cherry tomatoes, and red potatoes.
• Some frozen mixed veggies
• Soy sauce
• Balsamic vinegar

 

I'm probably leaving off some potential ingredients but that's what I know offhand. Don't necessearily limit yourselves to that list though, I can make a trip to get what I need but it would be awesome if I didn't have to make a second trip haha. Sorry if this is the wrong sub for this kind of thing, I just figured "r/recipes, sure I can ask for recipes there right?"

Guide to Gumbo

Whether you’re well versed in the kitchen or you’re looking to make strides in your cooking game, being able to make a good gumbo will improve your quality of life.
- Looking to mix up your routine by bringing flavor spices into your kitchen? Make a gumbo.
- Looking to fill your freezer for meal prep? Make a gumbo.
- Looking to impress a date and fill your home with aromatic flavors? You got it.

 

If you’re looking for a recipe to follow, you can scroll to “CORE RECIPE”. If you prefer getting some ideas and cooking by the seat of your pants, you can continue here.

 

If you’re still with me, we’re probably alike. When I started cooking and as I’ve become more experienced, creating delicious food has been a hobby. I’m also not very good at following directions and find it to be much more enjoyable being more creative in the kitchen. You can still find a recommended recipe towards the bottom of the post, but directly below I’ll run through the main pieces that makeup the dish and I encourage you to take some liberty to write your own path.

 

---

 

GUIDE TO GUMBO

 

Protein

 

Ingredients- One of many characteristics that separate traditional gumbo from other stews is that they typically contain several types of meat. Traditionally this includes sliced smoked andouille sausage, diced chicken thighs, and peeled raw shrimp (peeled, deveined, and tail-off) however options here are nearly unlimited to fancy your tastes and preferences. Bite sized pieces of nearly any forms of poultry, pork, beef, seafood, or even tofu can be substituted here. Gumbo is more than just a multi-meat stew, don’t worry how nontraditional you choose to go here, there will be plenty of dish defining pieces remaining. Pickup up to 4 pounds total of your chosen protein above, and we can move on to the procedure.

 

Procedure- Add ¼ cup of any vegetable-based oil to the largest pot you own or a dutch oven and set to medium heat. You’ll eventually use this oil to make your roux, but before making the roux, I recommend flavoring the oil by frying some of your protein it. This also helps give your protein a crispy edge. With exception to seafood and tofu (keep those aside for now), toss your protein into the oil just for a few minutes until browned. Remove the protein from the pan but keep the oil in the pot.

 

Roux

 

Ingredients- You can be as creative as you want with the protein, but not the roux. This will be the base of your gumbo and will separate your gumbo from a burgoo or meat stew. All you will need here is all-purpose flour, and the vegetable oil you used in the previous step.

 

Procedure- Lightly sprinkle 3/8 cup of all-purpose flour in the oil on medium heat and stir continuously until you’ve achieved the roux you are looking for. How long you cook your roux will determine what type of roux you will have—white, blond, light brown, dark brown, or burnt. The darker the color, the deeper the flavor. For a gumbo, I strongly recommend aiming for a blond or light brown color. Go for a dark brown color if you are brave, however there is a fine line between dark brown and burnt. Regardless of target color, I stress the continuous stirring here. Insufficient stirring can turn a white roux into a burnt roux in less than a minute. If you burn your roux (don’t worry, it happens), just toss out the roux and start over with new oil and flour.

 

Vegetables

 

Ingredients- Ok, time to loosen up and get creative again. Here is where you add diced aromatic vegetables which will freshen up the flavors of your dish and your kitchen. Traditionally this includes yellow onions, green bell peppers, celery, jalapenos, tomatoes, and minced garlic. Here you have the freedom to substitute or add any vegetables with exception to vegetables that are susceptible disintegrating when cooked for hours. These may include okra, asparagus, broccoli, and any bean vegetables. If you would like to include any of these vegetables, I recommend adding those later in the cooking process.

 

Procedure- The process part of the vegetables is much more cut and dry than the ingredients. Toss a few minced cloves of garlic and 1-2 handfuls of your selected vegetables into your roux and sauté for 5 minutes.

 

Liquid

 

Ingredients- Some recipes recommend using water as a base liquid, but I prefer adding more flavor and using about 4 cups of low-sodium chicken broth. If you like cooking with beer, some of an amber beer would be a good depth of flavor addition. All you’ll need is one 12-oz amber beer (or a 2nd for the hard working chef), and use about 3 cups of broth instead of 4. For those skipping the beer, I recommend using about 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire to give the dish more depth of flavor. Besides these, I have not seen a lot of deviation from this in other good recipes.

 

Procedure- Pour these liquids into the pot in any order.

 

Herbs, Spices, and Simmering

 

Ingredients- If you do not (yet) have a full spice pantry, I recommend using about a couple teaspoons of a pre-mixed Creole or Cajun seasoning and a few bay leaves. If you’d rather have individual control of the herbs and spices, I recommend dabbling with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, basil, oregano, thyme, and cayenne pepper (to taste!). I did not include salt here because the broth you already added should contain enough salt for the whole dish, but obviously you can still salt to taste. If you prefer going N’awlins spicy, add more cayenne to taste.

 

Procedure- Add herbs and spices into the pot in any order and stir. Lower heat form medium to low, add all proteins with exception to poultry, seafood, and tofu, and simmer for about 2 hours. With 1 hour of simmering remaining, add any poultry. With 20 minutes remaining, add seafood, tofu, and any additional vegetables you opted not to add earlier.

 

Presentation and Garnish

 

Layer the bottom of a large bowl or rimmed plate with cooked white rice, ladle your delicious gumbo over the rice, and top the dish with filé powder and chopped green onions.

CORE RECIPE

 

Ingredients-
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 pound smoked andouille sausage, sliced
- 1 pound boneless chicken thighs, diced
- 1 pound raw, peeled, deveined, and tail-off shrimp
- 3/8 cup of all-purpose flour
- 2 yellow onions
- 1 green bell pepper
- 5 jalapeno peppers
- 3 celery ribs
- 1 can diced tomatoes, strained
- 3 garlic cloves
- 3 cups of low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 12-oz amber beer
- 2 teaspoons Creole seasoning
- 3 dried bay leaves
- 1 tablespoon filé powder
- 1/4 cup green onions
- 2 cups cooked white rice

 

Procedure-

 

Add vegetable oil to large pot and put on medium heat. Add sausage and chicken to hot oil and cook for about 5 minutes or until browned, then remove sausage and chicken from pot.

 

To create roux, sprinkle flour into oil and stir continuously until roux turns light brown. Add chopped onions, bell pepper, jalapenos, celery, tomatoes, and garlic. Sauté for 5 minutes.

 

Add broth, beer, Creole seasoning, and bay leaves. Reduce heat to low, add sausage, and simmer for 1 hour. Add chicken and simmer 40 minutes more. Add shrimp and simmer 20 minutes more.

 

Prepare cooked rice and place in bowls. Ladle gumbo over rice and top with a pinch of file powder and green onions.

Now I hope anyone can enjoy Cajun flavors without having grown up in the bayou. If you have any other tips and recommendations, please let me know share the comments or PM.

[request] something very american that's not super hard to cook

I'm living in Japan and I have a Spanish (Catalonian) classmate who is a chef and has cooked for me several times, really amazing food. I am a horrible cook, but I think he wants me to cook for him now.

I'm looking for something American. Most of my go-to recipes are bastardizations of British, Italian, German etc recipes that are probably not nearly as good as the real deal in Europe, so I want to make something that he doesn't already have a preconceived notion of what "good" should taste like. At first I was thinking Mexican, maybe chicken enchiladas, but then I remembered duh he's Spanish. Do they eat things like enchiladas in Spain?

I have access to a Walmart-like store on the military base so I think I can get most American ingredients. I'm not a great cook like I mentioned so maybe something like a casserole would be safe. I want it to taste really good, though, so I don't mind something more difficult and I could practice it beforehand.

Thanks for any thoughts. I'm having a tricky time coming up with anything.

Request (Urgent): How to prepare 1.2 KG tenderloin steak

Hi everybody! I'm Dr. Nick! No wait...

Anyways; I've got this rather rad steak that I shall serve for dinner when my old folks come over today... 1.2 KG of Uruguayan tenderloin i got cheap since it's getting close to its expiration date (5 days to go)...

Anyway, I'm planning to serve the steak in 4 hours.... It has been resting on the counter for the past hour or so...

My action plan is as follows: 1) Apply generous amounts of salt and pepper on the outside,
2) Fry for about 45 seconds on each side in a buttered pan
3) Put it in the oven-pot (with cover on top) pictured in the oven @ 75 celcius (for 2 hours)
4) 1 hour before the guests arrive, raise the oven's temperature to 150 celcius
5) Remove it when the core temperature has reached 60 degrees celcius
6) Let it rest on the counter in aluminium foil for 30 minutes 7) Cut & serve

Serving with pepper sauce (mortared pepper + cognac + fire -> cream + butter + salt), potatoes and vegetables.

I have never cooked such a large steak before... Does the plan sound feasible, or should I do something different? Is the pot to small for instance? :-)

Request: Something vegetarian tex-mex/mexican to go in tortillas? (ingredients inside)

I'm in the UK and most people buy tortilla seasoning packs and mix it with chicken or ground beef but I want to make something from scratch. Tex mex and actual mexican food aren't as popular here so looking for some good recipes.

Here's what I have in my kitchen that I think could be used, I'll mostly list my condiments and spices/herbs first:

• Sliced jalapenos in a jar (red jar and green jar)
• Dried whole birds eye chilis (think you call these thai chilis in the States - they pack a bit of a punch!)
• Soy sauce & Marmite & Worcestershire Sauce (I sometimes use these to add a bit of a salty/meaty taste to things)
• Ground Cumin
• Ground Cinnamon
• Mustard Seeds
• Thyme
• Oregano
• Sage
• Dried Cayenne Pepper (powder form)
• Habanero Chili Flakes
• Chipotle Chili Grinder
• Chipotle Paste
• Encona West Indian Hot Pepper Sauce (Uses mostly habanaro peppers and some scotch bonnet)
• Cholula Hot Sauce (got both original and the garlic chili version)
• Franks Hot Sauce (not a huge fan, tastes too salty for my tastes)
• A couple of generic Heinz hot sauces (not very hot though), one is habanaro, the other is chipotle and the other is jalapeno
• Chicken stock cubes
• A jar of minced garlic
• Clear honey
• Black Pepper & Salt
• Cheddar cheese
• Bell peppers (red and green)
• Large white onions
• Spring onions
• Tinned (canned) chopped tomatos
• Fresh cherry tomatoes
• Sundried tomatoes in olive oil
• Red kidney beans
• Baked beans (in the UK these are navy beans in a sugary tomato sauce, I could always run the sauce off with water before using them so they're more adaptable)
• Sweetcorn (frozen)
• Cornflour
• and I also have rice and some squeezy guacamole and salsa (normal and a tropical one with mango, pineapple and papaya - both by old el paso)
• Also I have apple cider vinegar, balsamic vinegar and british table vinegar which is brown malt vinegar i think - no limes or lemons for acid unfortunately

I'm comfortable with heat having grown up eating Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi food so if any Mexicans want to take that as a challenge and recommend something with a bit of a kick that's good by me! I also have the whole day ahead of me so time is not an issue.

Don't know if it's worth mentioning but I have a frying pan, a griddle pan, some normal pots and pans, a crock pot (slow cooker) and a food processor.

Peanut Butter Sauce

Ingredients *Coconut milk / water - 1/4 cup *Soy Sauce - 1/2 TBSP *Sugar - 2 1/2 TBSP *Natural Peanut Butter - 3 TBSP *Sesame oil - 1 tsp

Directions

In a small saucepan, on medium heat. Heat up the coconut milk, sugar and soy sauce. Remove from heat as soon as it becomes hot, making sure not to burn it.

In a bowl, add the peanut butter and sesame oil, start pouring very slowly the hot milk. Giving a good mix after every addition. Once the mixture becomes very thick add a bit more milk, mix again and repeat until you have a thick sauce. Similar to a sour cream texture. You can always thin it out with more milk if you find that its too thick, it can be different depending on the brand of peanut butter you have.

Big, Fat, Fluffy Southern Style Biscuits - Prepared Two Ways!

** To see photos for this recipe, see the link I've included below.**

This Massachusetts Yankee (of French Canadian descent) has been searching for a long, long time for a really good recipe for Southern Style Biscuits. I’m talking biscuits that are soft and flaky inside, with a slightly crunchy, buttery top.

Believe me, I’ve prepared enough ‘so so’ biscuits to know when I’ve finally found a great recipe – and, actually I found (and adapted just a bit) two excellent recipes! To quote a series of books – these recipes could be called ‘Southern Style Biscuits for Dummies’!

TIPS !!

Learn from my mistakes….. 1. Make sure the butter is super cold 2. Ignore directions telling you to ‘ cut slivers of butter with a potato peeler’ … simply because the butter is far too warm (from your hands) by the time you’re done 3. Cut the butter into the flour, baking powder, salt mixture quickly. If there’s tiny hunks of butter, so much the better. 4. Keep the kneading down to a minimum. The more you knead, the softer the dough gets as the butter warms up. 5. The VERY best way to bake Southern Style Biscuits is in a cast iron skillet. I tried… several times… using a cookie sheet but I just wasn’t happy with the results. (In true ‘Cecile Style’, the first time I prepared the first biscuit recipe, I didn't have any vinegar. So I substituted ‘Newman’s Own Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing’. And, how about this, the biscuits were wonderful !)

Biscuit Recipe No. 1 – ‘Southern Style Baking Powder Biscuits’

INGREDIENTS Yield = 10 biscuits

• 2 cups flour

• 1 tsp. salt

• 1 tsp. sugar

• 1 Tbs. baking powder

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, chilled

• 3/4 cup milk ++ At least 2%

• butter for greasing cast iron skillet – and for brushing on top of uncooked biscuits.

METHOD Preheat oven to 425 (F Butter a 9″ to 10″ cast iron skillet

In a medium bowl mix 2 cups flour, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp sugar & 1 Tbs. baking powder. Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled butter, either with your fingers, a pastry blender or two table knives. Mix milk (at least 2%) into flour mixture until just combined.

Turn dough out onto a floured surface. I have a dish towel (tea towel) I use just for this. I shake it out after each use and put it away until the next time. Knead dough very briefly… perhaps 30 – 40 seconds.

Pat down the dough using your fingers to form an 8″ circle. Cut with 2 1/2″ biscuit cutter – or a glass of similar size. Place biscuits around the edges of a buttered 9 1/2″ to 10″ cast iron skillet, then add others in the middle. (For this recipe, you should have three biscuits in the middle.) Brush tops with melted butter.

Bake 18 – 20 minutes. (Mine were ready in 18 minutes.) To check for doneness, insert a knife or toothpick in the middle biscuits. No dough should stick. Let biscuits cool for a few minutes… that is… IF YOU CAN !! Enjoy!!

Biscuit Recipe No 2 – ‘Southern Style Biscuits’

(Recipe includes vinegar, baking powder & baking soda.)

INGREDIENTS Yield = 9 biscuits

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 2 1/2 tsp. baking powder

• 1/2 tsp. baking soda

• 1/2 tsp. salt

• 1 Tbs. sugar

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, chilled

• 1 Tbs. vinegar – plus enough milk (at least 2%) to make 3/4 cup OR 3/4 cup buttermilk

• butter for greasing cast iron skillet – and for brushing on top of uncooked biscuits.

METHOD Preheat oven to 425 (F) Butter a 9″ to 10″ cast iron skillet

In a medium bowl mix 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 1/2 tsp. baking powder, 1/2 tsp. baking soda, 1/2 tsp. salt and 1 Tbs. white sugar. Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled butter, either with your fingers, a pastry blender or two table knives. Pour in 3/4 cup buttermilk. (OR place 1 Tbs. vinegar (I used apple cider vinegar) in a measuring cup and add enough milk (not less than 2%) to make 3/4 cup). Mix milk/vinegar (or buttermilk) into flour mixture until just combined.

Turn dough out onto a floured surface. I have a dish towel (tea towel) I use just for this. I shake it out after each use and put it away until the next time. Knead dough very briefly… perhaps 30 – 40 seconds.

Pat down the dough using your fingers to form an 8″ circle. Cut with 2 1/2″ biscuit cutter – or a glass of similar size. Place biscuits around the edges of a buttered 9 1/2″ to 10″ cast iron skillet, then add others in the middle. (For this first recipe, you should have two biscuits in the middle.) Brush tops with melted butter.

Bake 18 – 20 minutes. (Mine were ready in 18 minutes.) To check for doneness, insert a knife or toothpick in the middle biscuits. No dough should stick. Let biscuits cool for a few minutes… that is… IF YOU CAN !! Enjoy!!

Request: a greasy, restaurant-y, terrible for me pizza crust

Hey, so ordering Pizza Hut it reminds me of fried bread. When I bake a pizza at home it's good, but always like bread. What the hell do pizzerias do to make their crusts so damn good?

My Google-Fu fails me. Looking for "greasy pizza crust recipe" or other iterations is leading me to a bunch of healthy-fluffy weird stuff. I make pizza rarely so I want to try and clog my arteries, damn it!

Request: Meal recipes containing only meat / seafood, carbs and dairy.

I know it sounds insane, but I cannot digest fruits, vegetables or fiber, so I can only eat meat and seafood, carbs and dairy.

It's bad enough that this is unhealthy from a nutrient standpoint, but I have also gained 70 pounds in the several years since we realized how sick the other foods were making me.

Does anyone have any healthier recipes containing only those three food types? Even if they aren't healthy, I would appreciate any recipes, because I'm sick of the rotation of meals I have been preparing.
