Chile Colorado

I usually favor chili verde. But for some reason, I was in the mood for red. This was a first try, but I've been making chili verde for years, so all I did is just replace the green ingredients with red ones. Super satisfied with how this turned out. I'd like to use some better chilies, but whatever, jalapenos are easy to find. They don't have any good dried chilies where I shop. And I like to try to make recipes easy to follow as much as possible anyway. This is pretty straightforward I hope. Some added video can be found here if necessary.

Ingredients

  • 3 red jalapenos
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 5 medium tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp annato
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 4 lb pork shoulder
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 shot rum
  • Salt as needed
  • Oil as needed

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375f. Place the red jalapenos, tomatoes and 1/2 of the onion in an oven save dish and roast for 25 minutes.

  2. Peel and slice the remaining 1/2 of the onion thin and toss it into warm oil to cook it gently until tender.

  3. Dice the pork. The size isn't that important. Add the flour to the pork with a generous sprinkle of salt. Toss it up to coat the pork chunks thoroughly.

  4. Stir the spices in with the sauteed onion once they are tender and toast gently until fragrant. Then pour in the chicken broth and stir the pot to get any chunks off of the bottom.

  5. Brown the pork chunks in a little hot oil. Move the caramelized pork chunks into the pot with the onions as they're finished. When the pork is done cooking, deglaze the pan with a shot of good rum or tequilla and scrape that goodness into the stew pot.

  6. When your vegetables are done roasting, peel the onion, peel and deseed the jalapenos, then puree in a blender or food processor. Add the juice from the lemon. Pour all of that red puree into the pork and stir it up.

  7. Let it bubble away gently for a couple of hours. Stir occasionally to make sure you don't burn the bottom. Season it up and serve.

How do I make a drink smell better??

I know it's a weird question, but I'm working on a recipe for an assignment for school and long story short, I have to use Moringa Leaf powder. It's very good for you, but when I tried to make a cold brewed tea it started to smell. I don't mean a little bit, a full on sulfuric egg/fart smell. I looked it up and there are sulfuric compounds in the chemistry of the leaf.

How do I get rid of this? I tried adding lemon juice and I added honey for taste and it tastes great, it just smells like farts...

What can I add to it to mask the scent without introducing too much flavor?

I'm trying to either find or create a copycat recipe for Red Lobster's dragon sauce, which is a side sauce that comes with their potstickers.

I'm having a hard time finding any a copycat recipe for this sauce, but I think I have all the ingredients to make it. Here's what I have: soy sauce, sugar, red pepper flakes, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, and garlic. Basically seeing if anyone here has tried to reproduce the sauce at home or knows of a copycat recipe that would best approximate it. It's basically spicy and sweet.

Super Bowl Salsa

11 Cups cut up tomatoes 4 cups cut up onions 4 cut up green peppers 3 cut up red peppers 1/3 cup white sugar 2 tablespoon salt 1 cup white vinegar Put all ingredients in big stock pot and cook until liquid disappears. Makes 10 pints, put flats and rims on jars. Water bath for 35 - 40 minutes. The stockpot that I use for this I got from littletobigkitchens.com. You can use 3 quarts of tomatoes that you canned in place of the cup up tomatoes. I have a big garden so I just can all the tomatoes in the fall and make this salsa in the winter when I have more time to do it. I also learned on social media that you can put flat and rims on jars and tip the upside down to let them seal then you eliminate the step of the water bath. I am going to try this. Also a pint of the salsa works good in a batch of chili. Enjoy.

Earl Gray Chocolate Sugar Cookies

I got the idea from an Earl Gray cocoa milk tea drink at my local boba place and decided to put it in cookie form. This is the first recipe I've ever invented on my own and it's gotten nothing but compliments every time I've made it. So, I thought I'd share it here:

Makes ~50-55 small cookies (I based this off proportions from another recipe, so I usually half it)

Ingredients:

1 cup (2 sticks) butter

1½ cups granulated sugar

2 eggs

4 packets Earl Gray tea (1 packet/ ¼ cup butter)

2¼ cups all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon Kosher salt

1 teaspoon vanilla

½ cup cocoa powder

Steps:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. The first thing you need to do is infuse the butter with the earl gray. This is how you get all the delicious tea flavor in your cookie. To start, melt butter in a small saucepan until it's just liquid

  3. Cut open your tea bags and dump contents into the butter.

  4. Heat and stir the mixture for about 5 minutes on low heat. Then remove from heat and let stand for 5 more minutes.

  5. (Optional: take butter tea and filter tea out through a sieve. If you're doing this, make sure to add a little more butter to the original mixture, because you lose some in this process. I've made these with and without filtering out the tea and they've been great both times, so I think it's more of a personal preference).

  6. Let butter cool to around room temperature and then cream with the sugar until it's light and fluffy. Then add eggs and mix well to combine. It won't look very appealing at this point, but just stick with it.

  7. Stir in flour, baking powder, salt, and vanilla.

  8. Stir in cocoa powder. The consistency should be a thick, but a little wet and crumbly. If it's too dry, add a little bit of water at this point.

  9. Take a spoon, scoop the dough, and roll into small balls and place them 1-2 inches apart on a greased baking sheet.

  10. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until consistency is right. They should be a little soft to touch when they're done.

Here's an imgur album I made that shows the step-by-step process for any of you visual learners. Apologies in advance for my shitty photography skills and the terrible lighting in my kitchen: https://imgur.com/a/sULeh

"Traditional" Texas Chili

I put traditional in quotes because chili is hotly debated all over, and particularly in Texas. To me, this is a traditional as it gets. This recipe, while modified in some ingredients and tools used, very closely follows a family recipe passed down from my great grandmother who was born and raised in Amarillo, to my grandmother who was born and raised in San Antonio, to my Father who was born and raised in Austin.

Texas Chili

Ingredients - 1 lb cubed stew beef - 1 medium sweet onion medium diced - 2 bell peppers medium diced - 1 fresh jalapeno finely diced - 2 dried chipotle peppers whole - 5 - 6 dried chile de arbol whole - 2 cloves garlic finely diced - 1 can diced tomatoes - 1 tablespoon tomato paste - 1 large style beer - 2-3 shots of smokey mezcal or tequila if you prefer - olive oil - worshtershire sauce - apple cider vinegar - brown sugar - salt - black pepper - onion powder - granulated garlic - smoked paprika - chili powder - cumin - adobo - clove - cinnamon

To prepare

  1. Place a small pot on the stove and fill with approximate 1-2 cups of water. Turn up the heat and leave to boil. Once boiling, add the dried peppers and cover. Allow to steep until the peppers feel soft to the touch.

  2. Heat olive oil in the bottom of the main pot you intend to cook the chili in. Add the jalepeno and garlic and cook until fragrant.

  3. Add the reconstituted dried peppers, steeping liquid, jalenpeno, and garlic to a high speed blender or food processor and season with salt, pepper, cider vinegar, and blend/pulse until smooth. Strain back into the small pot through a sieve. Reserve for later.

  4. In a bowl, eyeballing your measurements, mix two tablespoons of onion powder, granulated garlic, and paprika, one table spoon of black pepper. 2 teaspoons of salt, and 1 teaspoon each of cumin, clove, adobo, chili powder, and cinnamon. Mix thoroughly.

  5. Place meat in a container and pour 3/4 of seasoning mix over it. Stir to coat.

  6. In the same pot you cooked your jalapeno and garlic, add a little extra oil and brown your meat making sure you get a good crust on all side of the cubes. Remove the meat and set aside.

  7. Deglaze the bottom of the pot with a shot of mezcal/tequila, and shoot one yourself. Add your onions and peppers, seasoning with a sprinkle of salt and cook until the onions are translucent. Deglaze again with the remaining shot of liquor.

  8. Add in the tomatoes, tomato paste, meat and beer and mix thoroughly. Adding two tablespoons of worshtershire. Allow to come to a simmer and reduce.

  9. Return to the pulverized pepper liquid. Bring to a low simmer over medium heat and add remaining dry spice mixture along with sugar, vinegar, and salt to taste. This is essentially your hot sauce you can use as a condiment with the chili but also to add heat at your discretion while cooking.

  10. Add desired amount of hot sauce to chili for flavor, adjust seasoning to taste, and allow to reduce. This will take a few hours. Ensure to stir and not allow anything to burn on the bottom of the pot.

Serving

I find the best way to serve this is hot out of the pot, in a bowl with a little shredded cheddar and some flour tortillas. Offer hot sauces, both homemade and store bought, as options to increase heat. Goes great with margaritas, cold beer, or for those underage...limeade.

Note: No, there are no beans in this recipe. I dislike arguing the point but suffice it to say that there is a lot of controversy between those who prefer beans in their chili and those who don't. I don't.

My Best Irish Stew

This is a recipe for Irish lamb stew that I have been tinkering with for a year or so. Finally have it exactly how I wanted it so I thought I would share.

Ingredients:

3 tbsp butter ½ cup flour 1 lb lamb, cubed 1 white onion, shredded 3 large carrots, peeled and sliced 1 stick celery, diced 2 Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cubed 8 oz canned green beans, drained 2 bay leaves 1 tbsp dried thyme 1 tsp black pepper 12 oz Guinness stout beer Beef broth 1 tsp MSG 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce Fresh or dry parsley for garnish.

Directions:

In a skillet, melt 1 tbsp butter. Fry the onion and celery until lightly caramelized, set aside off the heat. In a cauldron, melt 2 tbsp of butter. Brown the lamb in batches. Put all the lamb back in the cauldron. Pour in the flour and stir until the meat is well coated. Add in the onion and celery. Cook over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring and scraping constantly. Deglaze the pot with the beer, little by little, until all the beer is stirred in. Stir in the MSG. Pour in enough beef broth to thin the stew to whatever consistency you want. Start with 1 cup. Stir in the thyme, pepper, and bay leaves. Put on a low simmer for one hour, then add the potatoes. Simmer one more hour, then add the carrots. Simmer one additional hour, adding the green beans and Worcestershire sauce 5 minutes before serving. Adjust seasonings to taste and serve garnished with parsley.

Makes two hearty servings or 4 smaller ones.

Cheese and bacon egg muffins

It's hard to cook breakfast every morning, I had a couple of years in which my breakfast was a banana. Since then I've resorted to egg muffins because they're easy to make in batches that last a few days and I don't have to make them every morning or the evening before.

Ingredients (for 6 egg muffins):

  • 4 eggs
  • 4 slices of bacon
  • 4-6 mushrooms
  • 100 grams cheese
  • 50-100 grams red bell pepper
  • 50 grams olives
  • chili pepper
  • chili powder
  • salt
  • black pepper

Instructions:

  • 1. Fry the bacon slices in a pan without oil
  • 2. When the bacon is ready, slice the mushrooms and use the same pan and the leftover fat from the bacon
  • 3. Cut the bacon into smaller chunks
  • 4. Dice the cheese, the red bell pepper and slice the olives and the chili pepper
  • 5. Crack the eggs in a bowl and whisk them
  • 6. Add the bacon, mushrooms, olives, red bell pepper, chili pepper, cheese, chili powder, black pepper and salt
  • 7. Stir until you mix them up good
  • 8. Spray some oil on a muffin tray
  • 9. Add the mixture gradually to the tray so that you can have egg muffins of the same size. You can grate some cheese on top or put a few cubes of cheese
  • 10. Bake them for about 10 minutes or until they are ready on low heat
  • 11. Resist the urge of eating all of them in one go so you can have some for a few breakfasts

Orange & White Chocolate Cake

When you are looking for a change to the regular cheese cake or chocolate cake option that seems to be a regular choice for many people, try an Orange citrus cake instead. The full burst of whole Orange flavour mixed with the desiccated coconut provides a perfect balance to offset the sweetness of the Orange. White chocolate is swirled through the cake to provide the occasional subtle sweet burst to please the chocolate enthusiast. Topped with icing sugar provides a nice finish to a dense cake that is not overly sweet but full of flavour. A real crowd pleaser.

Ingredients:
• 2 large Oranges about 500g (use additional oranges if small)
• 1/3 cup Olive Oil
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 2 cups Plain Flour
• 1 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
• 1/2 tsp Bicarb Soda
• 1/2 cup Desiccated Coconut
• 1/8 tsp Salt
• 4 Eggs
• 1 1/2 cups Caster Sugar
• 200 g White Chocolate
• Icing Sugar to dust cake

Instructions:
1. Pre-heat a fan forced oven to 150°C (300°F).
2. Grease & line with baking paper one 22cm (9 inch) springform baking pan.
3. Cut the ends of each orange (with a small cut), then chop the oranges (including peel) into smaller chunks.
4. Add orange to a feed processor and process to a coarse puree.
5. Add olive oil and vanilla extract and process to mix through.
6. In a separate bowl, add plain flour, baking powder, bicarb soda, desiccated coconut and salt. Mix to combine.
7. In a separate large bowl add eggs and beat for about 3 minutes, using an electric beater, until light and fluffy.
8. Gradually add caster sugar while continuing to beat the eggs, Mix until fully combined.
9. In alternating batches, fold the flour mixture and the orange mixture into the egg mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
10. Melt white chocolate in a microwave bowl and set microwave to 50% power and cook for 30 second intervals, until fully melted. Check chocolate after each 30 second interval.
11. Fold white chocolate through the cake mixture.
12. Pour / spoon mixture into baking pan, smooth the surface and bake in oven for 80-90 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.
13. Remove from oven and allow to cool in pan for about 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
14. Dust with icing sugar before serving.

White chocolate sauce from cocoa butter?

I just bought some Torani white chocolate sauce, but it's absolutely awful. Per tablespoon there is less than 1g fat which suggests there is barely any cocoa butter present.

I'd like to make my own but any recipes I can find suggest using white chocolate bars.

I figure that using cocoa butter would make for a richer flavour, and will be more cost effective.

Does anyone have a recipe or can suggest how much of the butter to use ?

Looking for an authentic egg flower/egg noodle recipe.

Alright guys, I have a few major problems here, but to outline the necessity for why I need this recipe I can tell you these facts 1) I'm pregnant 2) I'm craving egg flower soup 3) my favorite Chinese food place isn't open because the owner is in Hong Kong for a month.

Now, I'm not the greatest when it comes to palate, but a few things are certain to me about the egg flower soup from my local restaurant.

BROTH- The broth is not too thin, or too thick. It's slurpable, but not as much as chicken noodle, just a tad bit thicker. This leads me to believe they either use a chicken stock as the base, or a chicken broth with a slight bit of corn starch. COLOR- VERY light yellow. To the point where it's almost not noticeable it looks a little white with a hint of yellow. FLAVOR: The flavor is pretty flat, not containing hardly any spice. I think there may be salt and some white pepper. No discernible onion, ginger, or garlic, and no soy sauce.

ADDED INGREDIENTS: The only ingredients I see when I eat this soup are carrot, tofu, and a handful of egg whisps. It's not too heavily egged and the eggs aren't curdled. The broth is still separate of the egg, which I like because in a lot of recipes I've looked at, the egg is so thick it makes the soup look gross.

So, I've unsuccessfully tried a few recipes over the last few months so I wouldn't have to pay Shao to make it for me. And she's very tight lipped about the recipe. I've even tried buying packets of the stuff from our local grocery store from our very small town, thinking maybe she gets it from packets. Nothing.

Recipe after recipe the broth is too dark, too yellow, too robust/flavorful, and I can't manage to get the egg right.

I'm just wondering, is there a traditional low ingredient egg flower soup? I tried another local Chinese food restaurant out of desperation but theirs had egg noodles, bamboo, water chestnuts and the consistency was that of gravy and I was seriously displeased. The color was also a very dark yellow.

I know I sound like I'm super entitled, but none of the recipes look correct on google and I'm out of options. Someone get this pregnant lady some egg flower soup!!!

My girlfriend is very conscious about calorie amount, and isn't eating enough. However, if i make her something without a calorie amount on it, she is much more likely to eat it. What are some "snack" recipes I can make and put in a ziplock bag to bring to school?

Title says it all. She fails to realize that she needs to eat more, so I'm taking it into my own hands a little. The recipes need to be kinda easy/cheap. Even just a smashed up combo of two things will work (for today, i didnt have much in the pantry so i just put together some cereal and some graham crackers, which tasted pretty good). She is also lactose intolerant, so there is a slight limitation. Anything i can make for her?
