I am looking for an awesome recipe to use italian sausages with, I have both sweet and spicy and would like to showcase both. The trick is, I'm feeding this to someone who doesn't normally like this kind of sausage.

How do you sweat an apple?

Seriously though: I would treat it like an onion. Since the point is to draw out the liquid, concentrate the flavor, and turn starches into delicious sugars, just chop it small, heat some oil in a pan, and cook on medium-low until tender. What recipe is this for?

That sounds correct because it also says to sweat an onion:

quote:

Pistachio Soup
Ingredients

2 large granny smith apples, peeled, cored, and rough diced
1 small white onion, rough diced
1 cup toasted, shelled, unsalted pistachios
3 cups heavy cream
1 cup milk
Salt
Black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Lemon juice

Preparation

Sweat apples and onions down in the butter (do not allow to brown). Then add pistachios and cream and bring to a simmer, and cover with saran wrap and let steep for about 30 minutes off the heat. After steeping, puree the mixture in a blender on the highest setting and run the mixture through fine cheesecloth or preferably a chinois (a fine metal mesh sieve we use in the kitchen). Then adjust the thickness by adding the milk if needed and seasoning to taste with the salt and pepper and lemon juice to brighten. I like to serve this with a little chèvre goat cheese and a splash of olive oil.

Software for keeping recipes/creating shopping lists? Preferably something PC/IOS that I can sync?

Recipes that add bread into meatballs do that mainly for moisture retention and added structure for the meat, right? What do I substitute if I can't add bread anymore for 'carb' reasons or whatever? Minced onion or bell pepper work really well for the moisture/flavor stuff, but what would then be good for (I guess) the structure stuff? Julienned cabbage, carrots? Nothing?

What about some kind of oat or something? I think I've seen some recipes replace breadcrumbs with like steel cut oats.

Not at all. A burger is what you make it, so long as it a lump of 4-legged animal in patty shape. Congratulations, here is your honorary US Food Passport.

Turkey makes good burgers also.

Anyone got anything thats really great for a person who is on a 25 carbs or less kind of diet? I'm having a lot of trouble cooking dinners for my wife. I'm mainly a pasta kind of person and so pretty much what I've been doing is making pasta, making pasta sauce and also making zoodles(I'm sorry if you also know what a zoodle is). Anything else that can be easily separated like the pasta or if anyone has any experience cooking for this kind of diet and has some recipes handy I would be really happy, thanks!

Can anyone recommend some decent food blogs? I've got 5 or 6 saved, but they don't update often enough to keep me entertained cooking every night.

Can you share your six?

Here are the ones where I get the majority of the stuff I cook. I'm a stay at home dad so I cook pretty much every night and I need variety to keep things interesting. I'd be particularly interested in blogs that focus on food outside of the US.

god this is a really dumb question, but when I'm putting honey into greek yogurt it always ends up in clumps and doesn't really end up very good. Is a blender/food processor the best way to sort that out?

Just add like a tablespoon of warm water to the honey.

Thanks for everyone's advice this ended up doing the trick. I buy local honey and its pretty thick.

Roxy Rouge posted:

Buy the blended honey yogurt?? Alternately, use your spoon to mix it more??

I don't do this just because its easier to buy the plain and then you can do whatever with it. Sometimes I like to put stuff other than honey, fruits and also some recipes have the plain stuff in them.

can anyone recommend a vegetarian food blog that is still updated that isn't 'healthy'. I don't eat meat, but I also don't eat healthy and a lot of vegetarian blogs are like, 'and put a squash in it' and I'd rather just eat creamy decadent noodles and soups and poo poo.

whats up with poblano peppers? They are delicious and I love them, but their spiciness is loving schizophrenic as hell and it makes it hard to use them reliably. I read somewhere that the darker the poblano the spicier it is, but I'm pretty sure that is bullshit. Anyone have a reliable way besides taking a big bite out of them in the store to be able to tell if you're getting a spicy poblano or a mild poblano?

My restaurant did a neat take on chicken and waffles for brunch one week: we put seasoned ground chicken in one of the waffle makers until it was just almost cooked thru.Then we cut the chaffle into quarters, breaded and fried them briefly to get a nice crisp on them. Put one piece of chaffle between two quarters of regular waffles, and viola, chicken and waffle sliders. We dressed them with an apple bacon chutney and bourbon maple syrup. Those things were slutty as hell.
