Cooking steak on stove top for the first time following Gordon Ramsey's recipe. Any additional tips or maybe some ideas for a side dish?

I've never cooked steak before, especially on a stove top. I'll be following this recipe https://youtu.be/AmC9SmCBUj4

is there anything you would change to this or add? Also what side dishes would go good with this? I'm cooking for four people.

Chicken with Orzo Casserole (Greek Giouvetsi)

This is an elaborate recipe for aromatic chicken and orzo casserole (Giouvetsi).

You can find photos and the whole story here.

Ingredients

  • 6 chicken thighs with the skin on.
  • 3-4 large sweet and ripe tomatoes.
  • 4 garlic cloves sliced.
  • 1 large onion chopped.
  • 1 red pepper chopped.
  • 2 cups of tomato passata or diluted purée.
  • A small bunch of flat-leaf parsley.
  • 1 teaspoon paprika.
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano.
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  • ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil.
  • 100 gr (3 oz) all-purpose flour.
  • 1 ½ cups of orzo.
  • Salt and ground pepper.
  • Crumbled Feta for topping.

Instructions

  • Wash the chicken and dry them using kitchen paper towel.
  • Add the tomatoes and parsley in a blender and create a smooth paste.
  • Warm up the olive oil in a large pot on medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, cover the chicken thighs with flour, shake them well to remove the excess and start frying them with the skin on the bottom. Season with salt and pepper and add the oregano.
  • When the chicken starts getting brown, reduce the heat to medium. Add the onion and peppers and cook until they get soft. Give it a stir from time to time. Add the garlic and cook for a couple of minutes.
  • Add the fresh tomato paste, passata (or tomato puree), paprika and cinnamon. Make sure the juices cover all of the ingredients. If not, add some water. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for ~ 1 hour. Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper, if necessary.
  • Preheat the oven at 180 degrees Celsius (360 F).
  • Empty the chicken and the sauce from the pot into a large baking tray. Add the orzo and 1 cup of hot water. Make sure the juices (and water) cover the orzo.
  • Bake for ~ 20 minutes until the orzo is cooked according to your liking. Check from time to time if the orzo is cooked. If it’s not cooked and the tray looks dry, add some hot water.
  • A few minutes before you take it out of the oven, sprinkle some Feta cheese on top.

[Request] Chicken Teriyaki recipe (not a slow cooker recipe)

I've been eating chicken teriyaki from a place called Sarku Japan lately and it's delicious. It's not prepared in a slow cooker but I'm not sure how to describe how it's cooked, aside from it looking like it's being fried.

This is what the chicken looks like. It will be cool if anyone has any recipes similar to this, as I would like to make stuff like it at home.

Delicious Brioche recipe

http://ift.tt/2975UN0

Makes: 1.2 kg dough (= 1 loaf )

Preparation time: 45 minutes plus 9 and a half hours resting Cooking time: 45 minutes

You will need: 70 milliliter tepid milk 15 grams fresh yeast or 7 grams of dried yeast 500 grams plain flour 6 eggs, beaten 350 grams butter, slightly softened, plus extra to grease 30 grams sugar 1 egg yolk mixed with 1 tbsp milk, for egg wash

Method 1. Pour the milk and yeast into a bowl and stir to dissolve the yeast. Put the flour, one teaspoon fine salt and beaten eggs into an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook and pour in the milk and yeast mixture. Mix on slow speed to combine and knead the dough for five minutes.

  1. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula, then knead at medium speed for about 10 minutes. By this stage, the dough should be smooth, elastic and combined well.

  2. Meanwhile, in another bowl, mix the butter and sugar together. Add a few small spoonfuls of the butter mix to the dough, then with the mixer running at low speed, add the rest a piece at a time.

  3. When the butter mixture is all incorporated, increase the speed and work for about 5 minutes, until the dough is very smooth and shiny and comes away from the bowl with perfect elasticity.

  4. Remove the dough hook, leaving the dough in the bowl. Cover with a tea towel or cling film and leave to rise in a warm place (up to 35 C.) for about one hours, until the dough has doubled in volume.

  5. Knock the dough back by flipping it over two or three times with your hand. The dough is ready to use and mould.

  6. To shape a large brioche: You can braid the dough by dividing them in three equal strands and start braiding. If you do not know how to braid (or forgot how to start it, like I do all the time) look at this video Or you can transfer the dough into a loaf pan

  7. Leave to rise in a warm place for about one and a half hours, until it has at least doubled in volume. Lightly brush the dough with egg wash.

  8. Preheat the oven to 200 C/425 F. Bake for 15 minutes, then lower the setting to 180 C/ 350 F and bake for another 30 minutes. Leave the brioche in the mould for five minutes, then tip out onto a wire rack and leave the bread to cool before serving.

[QUESTION] Mincing meat without proper meat grinder?

Hey,

I want to make some burgers, the butcher only has a 90/10 blend of minced meat, and won't mince custom cuts for orders under 5kg...

If I was to blend chuck in a food processor, would that suffice, or is this not really recommended? I don't really want to go purchase a full meat grinder for $150+ that I will use once every 6 months...

I used to live near an Italian deli in Chicago on Taylor Street that made this salad in house. I think it also had a little cheese and a green vegetable or peppers, I can't recall.

The dressing was a light vinaigrette that was slightly sweet. I had never seen a pasta salad with teeny cheese ravioli and I fell in love. I have never gotten over that pasta salad but they stopped making it.

Chocolate Eclairs

Find more recipes here: http://ift.tt/293i05F

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 tbs sugar
  • 2 tsp yeast
  • 1 tbs butter (melted)
  • 1/2 cup milk (warm)
  • 1 egg (beaten)
  • oil
  • 1 pint heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Directions

  1. To begin, combine the flour, sugar, and yeast.

  2. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, and then add the melted butter, warm milk, and beaten egg.

  3. Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture in the center of the well.

  4. Once the mixture is a thick dough, begin to knead in any remaining flour.

  5. Continue kneading the dough for about 7 minutes. The dough should become soft and will have the consistency of play-dough.

  6. Lightly flour the bottom of a pie pan.

  7. Place the dough in the pie pan, and sprinkle some flour over the top of the dough.

  8. Cover the pie pan with plastic wrap, and refrigerate the dough for 4 hours.

  9. After the dough has chilled, turn it onto a lightly flour surface and roll it out to a quarter-inch thickness.

  10. If you have an oblong oval-shaped cutter, then use it to cut out your eclairs. If you don't possess such finery, then you can do what I did: draw your desired shape on a piece of paper, cut it out, and use a sharp knife to cut the dough around the edges of the paper shape.

  11. Place the cut-out eclairs on a lightly floured piece of wax paper, and let them proof for about 20-30 minutes.

  12. Fill a deep frying pan with an inch or two of oil and turn the heat up to medium.

  13. Place the eclairs one-by-one into the oil and cook on either side until the color is a rich golden brown.

  14. Once the eclairs are cooked on both sides, remove them from the oil and let them cool.

  15. In the meantime, go ahead and make the whipped cream and chocolate glaze.

  16. Pour most of the cream (saving about 1-2 tbs for the chocolate glaze) in a bowl and whip it until it's your desired consistency.

  17. Slowly heat the chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave (about 20 seconds at a time and stirring in between) until all have melted. Whisk in 1-2 tbs of whipping cream. Add a little more if the mixture is too dry.

  18. Finally, cut your eclairs in half. Dump a layer of whipped cream on the bottom half, and smother the top of the upper half in chocolate glaze. Put tops and bottoms together, maybe snap a few pictures for Instagram, and then bite into a job well done.

Pulled Pork, Carolina Style

Let's start with the pork. What you're looking for is a bone-in pork shoulder roast or Boston butt roast. It's a relatively inexpensive, somewhat fatty cut, but that's all to the good, trust me.

The day before serving the pork, make the dry rub by combining the following:

  • 2 Tbsp. salt
  • 2 Tbsp. sugar
  • 2 Tbsp. brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp. ground cumin
  • 2 Tbsp. chili powder
  • 1 Tbsp. dry mustard
  • 1 Tbsp ground cardamom
  • 2 Tbsp. black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp. cayenne pepper

Rub this all over the pork, working it into any crevasses you can find and paying special attention to making sure the fatty side of the roast is well coated. Refrigerate the rubbed pork overnight.

Early next morning, prepare your grill. I'm agnostic about gas versus wood/charcoal. You have to work harder to get good smoky flavor from a gas grill, but I find that the more consistent temperatures I can get from gas are an advantage, especially if I'm doing two or more pork shoulders for a bigger crowd. The key with gas is to have plenty of well-soaked wood chips and a large capacity smoker box. The work comes in making sure the smoker box is regularly refreshed with soaked chips, to keep the smoke level up.

When, as is usually the case, I'm using a conventional grill, the key is in the set up, the fuel, and the need to periodically add fuel to maintain as steady a temperature as possible.

You want a temperature that's just below 275-300 F and indirect heat. On a gas grill, that means using the burners on one side for the heat and to fire the smoker box and keeping the meat on the unheated side. All of this, of course, with the hood down (raise it only to add chips or check meat temperature). For the smoke, I generally use cherry wood, but hickory also works well.

On a conventional grill, I use wood chunks with only a small bit of charcoal. Again, cherry or hickory are both fine. The wood chunks naturally produce enough smoke that I don't need to use soaked chips. To get indirect heat and the right temp takes a bit of practice. I start by lighting about half the fuel I think I'll need and pushing that to one side, then pile the remaining unlit fuel on top of that. The meat goes on the other side and the whole thing is covered. Temperature regulation comes from adjusting the top and bottom vents. You can use an oven thermometer on the meat side to get the temp right. Add new fuel as needed to keep the temperature as steady as possible.

Once the grill is set and the meat is cooking, the remaining ingredient is time. To get that unique, fall off the bone, texture, shoot for an internal temperature of 190F for the pork. This will take a while. For a typical roast, figure on four to five hours or more. For a larger roast or two smaller ones, 5-7 hours.

After the pork is done, let it sit on a cutting board for 15-20 minutes. You should be able to pull it apart with a couple of forks and very little effort.

What comfort foods (besides cookies) mail well?

About 6 months ago, I moved from California to Texas. My long-term SO stayed behind to finish her degree. I've tried to mail home cookies, brownies in mini-muffin cups, and other baked treats home every few weeks, as well as sending care packages to other friends and relatives. But I've gotten a bit bored of making cookies, and I'm wondering what other comfort foods or sweets mail well.

Constraints:

  • I have a fairly basic kitchen and limited budget. Oven, microwave, stove, toaster oven. I also live in a small town so exotic ingredients may not be available.

  • Foods have to last at least 2 days in the mail to their destination, and possibly longer, because I do a lot of cooking and shipping on the weekends. They have to fit in a small box that may get rough handling.

  • Peppers of any kind are right out - my SO finds them very unpleasant.

  • She likes peanut butter and lemon sweets, but a wide variety of flavors can be tried.

What are your favorite recipes to send to far-away stomachs?

Chilled Garden Pea Soup Recipe (delicious!)

Found at http://ift.tt/291L9zP (with pictures!)

This vibrant summer soup is cool and creamy, with a potato base that makes it filling as well as refreshing. Serves: 6

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon butter

1 1/3 pounds peas in the pod, shelled

2 medium russet potatoes, peeled, and diced

1 onion, sliced

2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced, plus 1 garlic clove, minced.

6 cups of chicken stock.

3 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, shredded.

Fine sea salt and freshly ground pepper

½ cups heavy cream

7 slices good- quality bacon.

Extra-virgin olive oil for drizzling.

Directions:

Heat the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Once, it is completely melted add the peas, potatoes, onion, and sliced garlic and cook for 5 minutes. Add the stock, season with salt and pepper, and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.

Working in batches, puree the soup in a blender along with the fresh mint until smooth (if the mint is not completely combining, then strain the mixture thru a fine sieve.) Pour the soup into a large bowl and allow to cool about 20 minutes, then cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

While soup is chilling, in a small bowl combine the minced garlic and the cream and whisk together for about 10 seconds. Set aside for 10 minutes.

Cooke the bacon in a large sauté pan over medium heat until golden and crisp about 6 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Just before serving the soup, pass the garlic cream through a sieve, pressing on the garlic; discard the garlic. Serve the soup drizzled with the garlic cream and a dash of olive oil and topped with bacon slices.

Best eaten within 2-3 days.

Enjoy!

Recipe wording question, help!

My friend and I are making a cake and wonder if the recipe wording is vague. In bold below, when adding the flour, three questions arose:

  1. Is the mixer still ON and on low speed while we're adding the flour?
  2. Are we still using the whisk attachment for this part?
  3. After each flour addition, do we incorporate it completely, or wait to do that until switching to medium speed in the next step?

"In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat eggs on medium speed for about 30 seconds, then slowly add sugar until incorporated. Increase speed to medium-high and beat until egg mixture is very thick and glossy, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce speed to low and slowly mix in melted butter mixture and vanilla. *Add flour mixture in three additions, scraping down bowl as necessary*, then mix on medium speed until fully incorporated, about 30 seconds. Using a rubber spatula, scrape batter into prepared pan and bake until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer cake to wire rack and let cool 10 minutes."

[Request] Recipes using Biscuit / Brown Gravy Mix

Afternoon everyone,

I was gifted a few cases of biscuit and brown/ beef gravy mixes. I don't use gravy mixes for any particular reason, I usually just make my own sauces from pan dropping but I wanted to know if anyone had any interesting ideas on how I could use them?

I know I can add ingredients to the prepared gravy to change the flavor profile, like reduced wine or cream. I also know I can add more water than recommended and have a decent soup base.

Other than those two ideas I mentioned, are there any other ways to use a gravy mix that anyone here can think of? Maybe interesting ways to utilize gravy?

I know Poutine is really popular right now and have done that once or twice already. I'd appreciate any other ideas. I also wouldn't mind sharing a few of the recipe I've come up going through this case.

Meanwhile, cook 6-8 slices bacon in a skillet until crisp; drain and crumble.

Mix together bacon drippings with maple syrup and 2 tablespoons each cider vinegar and bourbon.

Toss the wings with the syrup mixture and add the bacon at the end.

Kimchi newbie, how long can I store leftover kimchi and what to do with the leftovers?

I bought a smallish tub, (about 1.5cups volume) as I keep reading about how it is so good for you. I made kimchi fried rice, which was very good, but the tub has an expiration date of 29 June. I tend to go by my nose generally rather than dates, so can I keep this longer? I assume so, is it enough to keep it in the closed tub in the fridge.

and now I have a cupful left, any suggestions for leftovers?

Any suggestions to amp up the kimchi fried rice, I fried onions, garlic, kimchi, added rice, soy and sesame oil and a fried egg. what else can I do-I feel it needed something a little sweet to balance out the salt, sweet chilli sauce? anything else?

Homemade Protein Bars - Perfect for hiking this summer!

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup vegan protein powder (mine was vanilla-flavored)
  • 1/2 cup cashews
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup + 2 Tbs unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, pulse oats into a fine flour. Place in a large mixing bowl. Next, add cashews to the food processor and pulse into small pieces. Add to oats then mix in salt and protein powder.
  2. Stir in maple syrup and natural peanut butter. Add in 1/4 cup of almond milk. The goal is for the mixture to have a sticky cookie dough batter consistency, so keep adding almond milk 1 Tbs at a time until it reaches the desired consistency (for me this was 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons of milk).
  3. Finally, stir in dried cranberries.
  4. Line an 8x8 baking pan with foil or parchment paper. Press and evenly distribute batter into pan.
  5. Place pan in the freezer for 15 minutes. Remove from freezer and slice into either 12 snack-sized bars or 6 meal-sized bars.
  6. Store bars in the freezer. The longer they are out of the freezer the softer their consistency will get.

Alright folks, I need your best/favorite corn on the cob recipes!

Grilled, boiled, oven roasted? Smothered with toppings or just lightly seasoned? Whatever your preference is, please let me know! My husband wants me to make corn on the cob (fairly often this summer, apparently) and I've never really had much of an interest in it, so I need some help and inspiration. I know I can find a million recipes online, but hearing about people's favorite recipes with specific tips and tricks is much more beneficial for me! 😊

Carbonara Original(serving 2 people)

*I posted this recipe under different profile name but I created another account and deleted previous one.

Ingredients:

4 egg yolks OR two whole eggs+2 egg yolks 1lb spaghetti-I prefer fettucine or penne. 100 g bacon(do NOT use economy bacon. It doen'st have enough meet and has too much fat) 4 tbsp of Parmesan cheese Some salt and pepper 1 tbsp of ground garlic. 1 tbsp of olive oil.

  1. Boil the water and cook the pasta until Al Dente-or chewy.
  2. While you cook pasta, beat egg thoroughly, and mix in grated cheese. Add some salt and pepper.
  3. On a skillet, heat oil and the chopped bacon on medium. When the bacon fat is rendered, use kitchen towel to remove excess grease. Cook garlic. 4.Drain the pasta but NOT COMPLETELY. Leave tad bit of moisture. Throw it in the bacon+garlic skillet and make the oil coat the pasta thoroughly. Take off the heat completely and cool it to the point it's still hot but not enough to scramble the eggs.
  4. Mix in the egg+cheese mixture and constantly stir it so that the egg doesnt' scramble.
  5. Sprinkle extra cheese on it. Done!

[Request] Fruit Shortcake

I want to make a delicious shortcake recipe for my extended family coming for Fourth of July weekend. My oldest daughter is allergic to strawberries. She's missed out on many strawberry shortcakes over the years, so I was hoping to keep it similar to show her she can make it herself as well.

Does anyone have any amazing recipes they'd recommend, bonus points if they might include red and blue for festivity, but not necessary. Need to feed 8.

Thanks so much.

Indonesian Pork Satay with Sweet and Spicy Sauce (Sate Babi) - Very Easy!

INGREDIENTS

Grind the following into spice paste:

  • 10 shallots

  • 5 cloves garlic

  • 2 red long chilies - deseeded if you want it less spicy

  • 10 pieces of candlenuts - toasted first

  • 2 cm of galangal

  • 1 cm turmeric

Other ingredients:

  • 700 gram pork loin - cut into bite size cubes

  • 50 gram palm sugar - shredded into small pieces

  • 1 1/2 tablespoon coriander powder

  • ¼ teaspoon cumin powder

  • 6 tablespoon sweet soy sauce

  • 3 tablespoon soy sauce

  • juices from 1 lime

  • 30 bamboo skewers - soak into water before use, it will prevent the stick from burning

Satay sauce:

  • 2 shallots - thinly sliced

  • 1 red long chilies - thinly sliced

  • 2 tablespoon of lime juice

STEPS:

  1. In a large bowl, mixed together all the ingredients and spice paste (except chili sauce and bamboo skewers). Marinate for at least 2 hours. I usually marinate it overnight for better result.

  2. Once marinated, skewer the pork with bamboo skewers, I put 4 pieces of pork per skewer. (DO NOT THROW the leftover marinating sauce - set this aside to make satay sauce)

  3. Cook the satay in a hot grilling pan or charcoal BBQ grill (this will give a better char aroma, however grilling pan or oven will be totally fine too).

  4. Grill until the meat fully cooked and have a little char. (for about 3 minute each side). Put the cooked satay into the plate, set aside.

  5. For the sauce, heat up the pan and transfer the leftover marinating sauce and cook until boiling and reduced, add salt or sugar if needed.

  6. Transfer the sauce into a bowl, and combine the sauce with shallots, chili and lime juice, served with the pork satay.
