Made ravioli for the first time ever!



Whole wheat ravioli with a spinach and garlic filling. Very good! Now I see why people have pasta rollers. I rolled it as thing as I possibly could and it was still thicker than I'm used to. They probably would have been more tender if they weren't 100% whole wheat, but hey I like them and will eat them The sauce was my standard red meat sauce. :)

Looks nice!

A cheap machine is on my list of things to by. Hand rolling is such a bitch and it's really noticable for ravs if it is too thick. But making your own ravs is so cool.

First time ever having borscht. pretty good stuff! Served with homemade crusty sourdough baguette.

Slavvy posted:

Well, scrolling up from this will make both my food and my phone camera look like garbage; oh well! And if I'm violating some sort of GWS protocol I'm sorry, I'm in AI normally.

I have no idea what I'm doing in a kitchen and upon the advice of people I know and the quick questions thread I bought a slow cooker:

It's a 6L r&h. I wanted a 5L but my boss was picking it up for me and they ran out. He had to make an executive decision between a 3.5L and a 6L. His reasoning?

"Well I thought poo poo a 3.5L is cheaper but that's a big step down. And then I figured "he might get with someone in the future maybe" so you need to be able to feed them as well. I mean, noone can be alone forever surely haha!"

Good talk Karl!

So I tried to do something as simple and basic as imaginable; two ingredients seemed like a good bet. Bought these:


And this stuff:


It said the ratio should be one can to 400g of sausages, those packs are 450g each so it seemed reasonable to get two of each to fill my cavernous cooker. What I have done to cook it is what my friend told me to do so if you guys can tell me what to do better than this, please do! I'm clueless.

Boiled and cut up the sausages





Then they went in the fridge overnight and this morning I heaved everything into the cooker. Set it to auto, came back twelve hours later.

(I had to invert the last image because imgur insisted on showing it upside down?)

The red is much more vibrant in person and the sausage doesn't look pale and gross at all. It looks and smells delicious; doesn't taste as good as it appears but it's edible enough. Which is a million times better than what I've achieved using a pan or pot with any food.

The only thing I can really criticise is the sausage came out somewhat grainy and not infused with the flavour of the sauce stuff, the way I expected it to be. What have I done wrong? I've never had devilled sausages before so have I done anything wrong? Everything?

a good general rule of thumb is to stay away from canned crap and get fresh instead. There are exceptions where the quality isn't really diminished much or at all (canned tomatoes depending on time of year are a notable exception), but sausage is most certainly not one of them.

like someone said about chili, use this instead. It's real easy.

http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3451852#post398069581

You could just omit the chuck and ground and just do sausages (adouille, chorizo, linguica, etc) and have the same effect.

GrAviTy84 posted:

slow cooking fresh sausage will just end up rendering all the fat from it and result in a grainy texture.

Canned is not always bad, and for you, I think I would recommend you get the hang of just cooking for yourself for a while, build up some confidence before trying to be too ambitious and just discourage yourself

try some chicken thighs, pork shoulder, or beef chuck. These things are ideal for long slow cooking and they are very versatile.

Add some "san marzano style" tomato sauce, a few cloves of minced garlic, a minced onion, 1 rib of celery, minced, a bay leaf, and a dash of thyme. Cook for 6 hours.

definitely defer to gravity overmyself

just curious, but how would you go about cooking a chili with sausages in it?? Or we just strictly talking aobut using a slow cooker here

If you don't want all the flavor to leech out of the sausage, just add them towards the end. Slow cooking is best for slabs of meat, not so much ground, so adding sausage and such is best in the last 15 minutes.

gotcha guys. Thanks!

This is a bit off-topic, but is there any chance your friend has a recipe for melanzane parmigiana? My nonna does it loving beautifully but unfortunately, due to being an insane, elderly Italian lady, asking her for recipes doesn't tend to get you anywhere. The last time I asked her what was in the pasta she'd made she replied with "poo poo from the cupboard, why you wanna know? It tastes good, don't it?" so to capture someone else's melanzane recipe would be much appreciated!

My Italian grandmother won't share her sauce and meatball recipe because she thinks she'll die! The closest I get are some ingredients and that i should steam the meatballs in a little broth first.

but anyway, that tiramisu looks great. Can I get a recipe for that please?

It can also be frozen if it's hard to find and you run across a bunch. Chop it up and put it in ice cube trays, cover in water. Not as good as fresh but it's good enough if you don't have any fresh available.

Well it's just caramelized onions and vege stock really so.. get a big wide heavy pot (or cast iron skillet), dice half a dozen onions and fry with some crushed garlic and a bunch of oregano in a few glugs of oil on low-medium heat, stiring often until golden.

Make up some hot stock (I used a knorr thingy). Crank up the heat to caramelize the juices, mix in a tsp of flour then add stock till just covered and a bay leaf. Season, stir and let it simmer on low-med til reduced some, maybe throw in a glass of booze at this point, let that reduce and taste test. If still too mild add some more stock and let it reduce again til it's nice and oozy.

Serve with some thick bread toasted, rubbed with garlic and mustard, cheesed and grilled. Really as long as the onions are nicely brown and the stock is good you cannot go wrong. Takes maybe an hour all up.

If I may, marsala is pretty friggin awesome in onion soup. I used to use red wines until my chef buddy told me to try that. That and some thyme. Your further right pic with that reduction... man that looks goooooood

I gotta try garlic mustard bread next time though... mmmm.

How big was that steak?

I have this problem sometimes too... I googled this and it says there's an internal temperature sweet spot you want to get to... Maybe monitoring the temp instead would help?

Like I mentioned though, I've had this problem in the past too... It could've been a poor place to rest my steaks, but I rested them for the same time, had smaller steaks than you, they were nearly cold and still bled a bunch. I've read somewhere too (Probably in GWC) that poor-quality/chain grocery stores will inject their meats with additional water to beef up their weight before selling it, which could be what we're seeing unfortunately.

Oh man I gotta give that a real sit down and read it. Serious eats rules. Thanks!

They were all around the same thickness, but some were longer or more wide than others. They were about average size for flank steak or london broil (around here they seem to label them as the same thing).

I had them resting on some kinda metal serving tray for probably between 10-15 minutes. I mean, there was an appreciable difference in waiting. My mother and brother took a little corner piece right away and blood came spilling out on one. But I remember reading here and else where about the difference in waiting, but on that cutting board it just seems like there's a decent amount of liquid still!

I have no idea the quality of the meats really. It was from shoprite, and they've usually been good in my opinion, but my opinion is not educated.

Also related: how should you be dealing with left over flank/LB? Slice it all or only slice what you need??
