Veggies Noodles with coriander omelette ribbons

video recipe: https://youtu.be/rO2uq8z5Raw

I had a lot of coriander back home, so I needed to use it! Reading and thinking, I come up with this idea. I am quite pleased about the result, taste, easiness. It is undoubtedly an unusual dish! So,

WHAT’S IN THERE?

FOR THE NOODLES

30 Mins time

250g of Noodles

Sunflower oil

1 Shallot

2 Carrots

1 Zucchini

1 Eggplant

A bit of dry, spicy pepper

Soya Sauce

Salt

FOR THE OMELETTE:

50g of coriander

3 eggs

Salt

COOKING STEPS:

Mince the coriander, cut the base and put it in the pan with the water.

Cut The carrots, eggplant and zucchini in stripes and cut the shallot.

Warm up the oil in a pan, stir fry the veggies, add spicy pepper, add soya sauce and cook them until they are done.

Meanwhile, boil the water for the noodles and cook them.

Also, whisk the egg with the coriander in a bowl and make an omelette in a pan, flip it, and cut it in stripes.

Join all together in the final dish and add a bit of fresh coriander!

LITTLE FUNNY FOOD FACT:

Did you know that most of the people perceive coriander as lemon/lime taste? Still, there is also a range between 3 and 21%, according to the ethnicity, that recognises it as soap taste! I find it extremely funny!

Well Done, by reading until here you just enhanced your Culture!

Gluten-Free Sweet and Smoky Chipotle Barbecue Sauce Recipe

This barbecue sauce recipe is really good. If you are not gluten-free just use regular ketchup and regular Worcestershire sauce in the recipe.

Gluten-Free Sweet and Smoky Chipotle Barbecue Sauce Recipe

(Printable recipe link at the end of this post)

Barbecuing season is here and it’s time to dust off the grill and start cooking. This sweet and smoky barbecue sauce is flavored with chipotle chili powder, smoked paprika, brown sugar, and just a touch of apple cider vinegar that gives it a delicious, tangy taste. It’s perfect for barbecued ribs, barbecued chicken, or to use as a sauce for grilled hamburgers.

Ingredients

1 cup gluten-free tomato ketchup (see notes)

1 15-oz can tomato sauce (substitute two 8-oz cans tomato sauce)

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

1 TBSP gluten-free Worcestershire sauce (see notes)

1/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1 tsp dried onion flakes

1/2 tsp granulated garlic (see notes)

3/4 tsp ground Chipotle Chili powder

3/4 tsp cayenne pepper

1 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

NOTES:

Ketchup usually has vinegar added to it to give it a tangy taste. If the vinegar is made from corn it will be gluten-free. If the vinegar is made from wheat those who are highly sensitive to gluten may have a reaction to residual gluten in the vinegar. For those who are highly sensitive always select a ketchup that is labeled as ‘gluten-free’.

At the time of this writing Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce was certified by the manufacturer as being gluten-free.

Granulated garlic is dried garlic that has been ground into fine granules. It has a gritty, sand-like texture and a mellow flavor. Do not use powdered garlic (which looks like flour) as the garlic flavor will be too intense. Do not use garlic salt (which has added salt) as the flavor will be too salty.

Cookware and Utensils

1-quart liquid measuring cup or bowl

Instructions

  1. Add the ketchup, tomato sauce, apple cider vinegar, and the Worcestershire sauce to the measuring cup or bowl. Stir to combine.

  2. Firmly pack the brown sugar into a measuring cup. Add the packed brown sugar to the ketchup mixture. Stir well to combine.

  3. Add the salt, black pepper, dried onion flakes, granulated garlic, Chipotle Chili powder, cayenne pepper, and the smoked paprika to the ketchup mixture. Stir well to combine.

  4. Cover the barbecue sauce with plastic wrap and transfer it to the refrigerator. Chill for 30 minutes before use to combine flavors. Refrigerate unused barbecue sauce.

recipe request: Mexican street food recipes with no weird "Martha Stewart" touch in them. Street food, basically.

Title says it. My wife really digs Mexican food, but it seems like the top hits on Google always lead me to "Oh, add a touch of Crème Fraîche" or other weird food-y stuff. She just tends to like the regular stuff. For example,

  • For a treat I made her tamales from scratch a few months back -- chicken slow roasted in adobo and stock, packed into masa, wrapped in corn and steamed. We had more dough than stuff, so I made a few more using Oaxaca cheese and beans.

  • We enjoy having our own refried beans. They're just pinto beans simmered for a few hours with garlic and salt. Mash and enjoy.

  • I made "Mexican" toast the other day to use up some stuff we had in the fridge, so basically it was toast brushed with a mayo/egg mixture, re-toasted, and I dropped a spoonful of refried beans, cheese and a blorp of salsa. It was pretty good.

OK so I just watched a video about making tortillas without a press. The lady just made dough balls and mushed the ball under a cutting board. See, that's the kind of stuff we want, just plain stuff someone would have as leftovers, not a big fancy-pants dinner.

Black Sesame Dalgona Latte - Creamy sweet sesame latte with a whipped dalgona inspired topping

Full Video Recipe here including a guide to how to make black sesame powder at home

Ingredients (for 1 drink)

For the black sesame sauce

30g black sesame powder

30g hot water

5g/1tsp honey

*just this sauce and milk is 10/10 hot or cold, I think of it as a black sesame latte even though it’s coffee-less, please try it out as well!

For the black sesame dalgona

60g heavy cream/double cream

15g black sesame powder

5-10g / 1/2tbsp castor/white sugar

a few drops of vanilla extract

+ a milk of your choice (any milk substitute works really well, especially the nut based ones actually taste so good)

Instructions

  1. For the black sesame sauce: combine sesame powder, hot water and honey in a bowl or in the bottom of your cup. Set aside.
  2. For the black sesame dalgona: whip the cold heavy cream/double cream in a bowl until medium soft peaks, add the sesame powder, sugar and vanilla extract and mix thoroughly. You can taste and adjust the sweetness to your own preference.
  3. To assemble: add the sesame sauce into your cup if you didn’t already mix it in the cup, add ice, milk, and top with the black sesame dalgona cream.
  4. Enjoy! Please feel free to add more honey to sugar, everyone’s taste preferences are so different so although this sugar level is fine for me (I don’t really weigh anything normally I just add some and adjust) , it might not be for you.

Lentils

Here is my favourite recipe for lentils:

1 cup lentils 1 onion chopped 2 clove garlic fine chopped 1/2 tsp cumin powder 1/2 tsp chilli powder 1/2 tsp turmeric Salt to taste

Rinse lentils to wash for a couple minutes. Drain and put in a pan. Cover with water, add onion, garlic, spices and salt. Cook on a low to moderate heat, with lid on, for half an hour, stirring and topping up with water on occasion where it seems dry. Half way through cooking, add in 1 chopped green chilli

It's very simple, cheap, and good on health, it has no oil or butter.

Can't find the last leg of lamb recipe I used

Hello all,

A while ago I followed a leg of lamb recipe in which the lamb was cooked directly on the grill of the oven, letting the juices fall into the vegetables in a pan on the grill below. There was also a mint sauce to go with the lamb. The result was absolutely amazing and all my guests loved it (even those who didn't like lamb in the first place).

Now I'm trying to do the same thing again and can't find the recipe anywhere online. If anyone has that recipe or a similar one or just a very good lamb recipe it would be very appreciated!

Oreo Whoopie Pies

https://homemadeonawhim.blogspot.com/2020/05/oreo-whoopie-pies.html

Prep time: 30 minutes

Cook time: 8 minutes

Servings: 30 whoopie pies

INGREDIENTS:

Butter Base:

2 ½ sticks (20 Tbsp) unsalted butter (at room temperature)

1 ¾ cup sugar

1 ¼ tsp salt

2 tsp vanilla extract

2 eggs

Dry Ingredients:

325 g all-purpose flour (2 ½ cups)

75 g cocoa (¾ cup)

¼ tsp baking soda

2 tsp baking powder

Filling:

6 Oreo cookies

½ stick (4 Tbsp) butter (at room temperature)

1 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

4 oz mascarpone cheese or cream cheese

COOKIE INSTRUCTIONS:

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Combine the butter base ingredients. Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or hand mixer), beat on medium speed for 5 to 10 minutes, until the mixture turns pale yellow and fluffy.

Combine and sift the dry ingredients. Keep in mind the proper way to measure flour is to spoon it into the measuring cup and level off with a straight edge, else you might end up with too much flour and crumbly cookies. I recommend using a food scale to get more precise measurements.

Add the dry ingredients to the butter base and mix on low until well-combined.

Using a cookie dough scoop, scoop 1-inch dough balls onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Make sure the dough are at least 2 inches apart because it will spread during baking.

Bake for 8 ½ minutes on the middle rack.

Press the cookies with the bottom of a glass gently as soon as they’re out of the oven.

You must cool the cookies completely before assembling.

FILLING INSTRUCTIONS:

Separate the cream from the Oreo cookies.

Combine the powdered sugar, butter, vanilla extract, and Oreo cream in a clean bowl. Using a stand mixer with paddle attachment, beat the mixture on low until everything is combined (to avoid powdered sugar bombs), then on medium high for 10 to 15 minutes until the buttercream turns very pale and almost doubles in volume.

Cut the cold mascarpone or cream cheese into 4 portions and add them into the buttercream one portion at a time while the mixer is moving. Continue beating until everything is combined. This might seem a bit unconventional, but the cold cheese will solidify the butter just a little and allow the frosting to become extra fluffy.

Crush the Oreo cookies into a fine crumble, and gently fold it into the buttercream with a spatula.

Make sure the cookies are completely at room temperature, then fill the buttercream into a 16-inch piping bag fitted with a Wilton 2A round tip. Fit the piping bag over a tall glass first to prop it up if you’re doing this by yourself. Alternatively, you can use a freezer bag as the pastry bag: fill one side of the bag with the buttercream and make a quarter inch cut at the bottom corner.

Flip half of the cookies up-side-down. Pipe a large dollop of buttercream on these cookies and sandwich it with the other half of the cookies.

Hey guys, this is probably going to be a long shot, but I’m hoping to compile a list of authentic, passed down from your great grandma, Italian recipes. More details below, and thanks!

My best friends mom had a recipe book that she put together with Italian recipes handed down through her family. Unfortunately her husband had a rage fit and threw it out in the rain, ruining all her recipes. These were mostly hand written and very old. I guess I’m just hoping to put together a new book for her that would be similar. I know it won’t be the same, but I thought it might be nice. Also I’d like to include a name (you don’t have to include your full name obviously, maybe like Mrs. Moretti) and what part of Italy you or your relatives that gave you the recipe are from! I think that would be a neat touch. Thank you!

I've done a search on the sub and didn't get anything. I've googled it and all I got was other types of pizza... One of the options I was toying with was sausage rolls. Will it translate well to buns? Such as the Japanese 7/11 pizza man or with other fillings, like pork etc like a Chinese bun?

Sorry if this is relatively simple, I am not a beginner cook (or an expert cook) but I am exploring a lot lately.

How to Italian cuisine - learn how to cook: Sweet and sour pepperoni

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgrHkLs-XHw

4 savings

time of preparation: 45min or less

Ingredients:

- 2-3 Pepperoni depending on the size

- Salt - Sugar

- Apple cider Vinegar

- Olive oil

Procedure:

Start by cleaning up the interior of the pepperoni like you see in the video and slice them up in quite big squares. Put some olive oil in a pan with a peel of lemon, this will add flavor to the frying, and as soon as the oil gets hot add the slices of pepperoni. Stire the content of the pan from time to time and add salt, salt is needed shortly after you insert the pepperoni into the pan, that way it will help get rid of the excess water. As you see the pepperoni change their consistency add the vinegar and let the liquid dry out completely. Finally, add sugar two or three coffee spoons are enough, and let it caramelize for around five minutes. And there you have it a delicious way to prepare your beloved pepperoni

Chicken with Creamy Fennel Broth! Fennel broth is my new favorite thing.

PIC: https://i.imgur.com/umRMbP8.jpg

Recipe here originally: https://triedtrue.us/ChickenCreamyFennelBroth

Chicken with Creamy Fennel Broth

This chicken with creamy fennel broth is so delicious, spicy, and rich. We topped it with a fennel gremolata so no part of the fennel goes to waste!

Equipment

  • Sheet pan
  • Large skillet
  • Large pot

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken thighs skin-on, bone-in
  • 2 teaspoons neutral cooking oil for frying
  • 8 ounces orzo
  • 2 cups reserved pasta cooking water
  • 1 fennel bulb with stalks and fronds
  • 1 yellow onion peeled and diced
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper to taste

Fennel Gremolata:

  • 1/2 cup fennel fronds
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 3 ounces pine nuts
  • 1 teaspoon fennel pollen optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Fry the Chicken:

  • Preheat oven to 425ºF. Heat the neutral cooking oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, pat the chicken dry and season all over with salt and pepper. Place into the skillet and cook in batches, skin-side down, until the skin is crispy and golden (about 5 minutes).
  • As the chicken finishes cooking, transfer it to a sheet pan, skin-side up. Drain off all but 2 tablespoons of chicken fat and set the skillet aside.
  • Place a small piece of aluminum foil in the corner of the sheet pan and add the pine nuts in an even layer.
  • Transfer the sheet pan to the oven. After 5-7 minutes, remove the pine nuts and set aside.
  • Continue baking the chicken for another 30 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer reaches 165ºF. Turn off the oven and leave the chicken in the warm oven until you are ready to plate the dish.

Cook the Orzo:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the orzo and cook until just al dente. Scoop out 2 cups of pasta cooking water and set aside. Drain and rinse the orzo.

Prepare the Fennel:

  • Remove 1/2 cup of fennel fronds from the stalks. Pick off the remaining fronds and reserve for another use. Thinly slice the fennel stalks into rounds. Remove the core from the bulb and slice the bulb into strips. Set aside.

Prepare the Creamy Fennel Broth:

  • Heat the skillet used to fry the chicken over medium heat. Once hot, add the fennel and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes until softened and golden brown.
  • Add the reserved pasta cooking water and bring to a boil. Season liberally with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper. Cook for 5 more minutes until reduced slightly. Slowly whisk in the heavy cream and reduce heat to low. Cook for an additional 5-6 minutes until thickened. Turn off the heat.

Prepare the Fennel Gremolata:

  • Roughly chop the fennel fronds and toss them in a bowl with the toasted pine nuts. Add the lemon juice, salt, pepper, and fennel pollen (if using) and toss to combine. Set aside.

To Serve:

  • Divide the orzo between shallow bowls and ladle the broth on top. Place a chicken thigh on top and garnish with the fennel gremolata. Enjoy!
