Gorgeous! I think pretty much everyone burns spices the first time through if they haven't grown up watching people cook 'em.

Made this the other day and it was sublime. I can't figure out why this was as good as it was. I make curry a lot, and comparatively it's such a simple dish. https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/curried-lentil-tomato-and-coconut-soup

Made some chickpea curry and bulgur today. I got it in under an hour, thanks to my trusty old Presto pressure cooker. The chickpeas had bad QA. Lots of messed up ones. Then after soaking there were a bunch with dark spots on them, which I've never seen before. I put a little tamarind in it, about as much as I could squeeze out of 3 pods. Maybe not enough. I used fine Bulgur since you can cook it just like couscous.

TychoCelchuuu posted:Depends on the day, but generally yeah more or less. A lot of these things can either be made in bulk (all those stews, for instance, can last a week or more if you're cooking for one, which I usually am) or are extremely fast to make (the broccoli probably takes about 15 minutes, the spicy noodles take however long the pasta takes to boil, etc.). I like cooking and I like saving money, so I basically never buy prepared food. I'm impressed. I like all this stuff as well but I'm not very imaginative and tend to make the same stuff over and over. I think I'll start aping your stuff.

Another food dump: Breakfast - ful medames and harcha, which is a Moroccan flatbread made from semolina, salt, and water. Stir-fried you choy / choy sum (two names for the same thing? I don't speak Chinese). Another breakfast - congee. Samosas with tamarind chutney. Looks like chicken, right? Or at least fake chicken - both verboten in this thread. But no, I bought a bunch of different tofus at the Chinese market the last time I went shopping and I've been trying them out. This is stir-fried fried tofu. Stir-fried sweet potatoes and "spiced" tofu which is actually just as flavorless as normal, but it has a very nice texture.

"Taco" cups: - webm: https://i.imgur.com/0O6EPrn.gifv - text: http://www.wearesovegan.com/taco-cups/ Didn't really care much about the vegan side, just wanted to test out a sufficiently easy "party" food before doing a thing next week. While making them i noticed i actually ran out of some spices, so instead of what's on the recipe I've used caraway, basil, chilli, turmeric and ginger (all already powdered, 1/2 tbsp each) plus 1/4 tbsp salt. Even though I've used pre-made tortillas and ditched the sour cream they turned out pretty great - super easy to make, very filling and with fantastic taste. Just don't move them too much because the tortillas have a tendency to break up.

Tactical Shitpost posted:"Taco" cups: You might have better luck if you heat up the tortillas a bit first (microwave shortly so they're warm). They're more pliable then. And I'd bet they'd be even better if you got some oil in the muffin pan/on the tortillas.

Has anyone tried to make Tempeh before? I want to give it a go again (first time I tried it with an alternate bean source which was probably a mistake for a first attempt). I need a good source for the starter and a simple/cheap incubation chamber.

TychoCelchuuu posted:No, but I'm very interested in it, so if you end up figuring it out, please document your results! I think it looked like it wouldn't be much cheaper if I made my own, so the only benefit would be taste and fun and so on, but if yours ends up cheap too, that would be great to know. Is that mostly the starter? I'd think the soybeans would be dirt cheap. You can turn the fermentation into giving you some more starter, but you have to let it run long so the mould gets to its fruiting stage. Not sure of the exact details though.

Pumpkin pizza on pesto base. Been putting pumpkin in everything lately because the local fruit market somehow is selling pumpkins for 8c/kg. They're not even bad or going bad, they're just pumpkins? In reality it was more like a huge toasted sandwich because I haven't figured out how to do pizza dough properly. Was pretty great though.

Main thing about homemade pizza dough is that you need a pizza stone, you need to let it heat up in the oven for a hella long time, and you need to roll the dough out as thin as possible. Also, don't worry about putting your toppings or sauce in the center, it will take care of itself, worry more about the edges.

So I made Goguma Bap, Korean sweet potato rice, which was nice in a comfort food sort of way with about as much flavour as you'd expect from two relatively bland ingredients but holy gently caress the sauce that goes with it. 1/4 cup soy 2 ts minced garlic 1 ts sugar 2 tbs toasted sesame seeds 2 tbs fried onion 2 tbs vinegar Goddamn amazing, and I'm going to have it with everything. Apologies for getting excited about what is probably Korean Cuisine 101.

Hi everyone, I've found a simple meal I like in the morning called toast with canned salmon salad with pickled red onions and microgreens on top. I figured I don't really need to eat canned salmon all the time, so does anyone have ideas for what I can use in its place? Some kind of black bean mash?

Anything you want! The sky's the limit! This is explicitly not a thread for meat replacements, so you might try something like the general questions thread. If you just want a list of stuff that is good on toast, basically any spread, like hummus/baba ghanouj/bean dips/etc. are good, as are baked beans, other sorts of beans, etc.

Yeah, whatever goes with pickled onions and the greens because that's where I feel balanced and close at hand. In particular, I have many cans of black beans and was wondering if there is a hummus-like spread I can make out of them, possibly mixing up the other flavors to match, such as moving from red pickled onions to yellow, where I can involve turmeric to connect with the cumin that I would naturally put in the bean item. Is there a recipe or keyword I should look out for if I want something like that and lasts a week in the fridge? ...as I type out the question I realize I can just Google it and it turns out the keyword is "dip." Thank you, thread, for laying the backbone on which to affix my curiosity. Garlic, grated ginger, black beans, juice of lime, maybe some chili flakes, cumin, fried in a pan and mashed off heat. I'll try to make it and post pictures tonight!

That sounds very good. For spreads I have been doing a simple thing by mixing kidney beans, olive oil, garlic and lemon juice, adding salt and pepper to taste once a week lately.

I used too wide a pan for the amount of beans and holy drat trying to mash it up with a fork was hell on my hands, and I'm a drat fool because I completely forgot about my immersion blender! Probably because I let my kitchen get pretty cluttered, which is also why I thought I had no cumin but it was just behind some loose onions. I'm going to adapt the black bean soup recipe I have from Cook's Illustrated, lose the broth, and paste it all up in the pot later this week and go for a nice photo, maybe even get more of the "Chef's Micro Mix" with edible flower petals that make me feel like a luxurious elf when I top things with it. von Braun posted:That sounds very good.

Oh yeah I never thought about kidney beans outside the context of chili. I also have like a 3 pound bag of dry pintos that I should use at some point. Good entry point for paprika and apparently tequila!

Some add oats, others breadcrumbs. grated onion and carrot, with cumin, chili, mustard, ketchup, soy sauce/tamari are the usual additions (2E: grating some onion is important as it works well as a binder) Otherwise make some hummus with chickpeas (or buy it).

If people could maybe start talking about bean recipes that aren't dips or burgers that would be great. Vegans don't just have to eat mush or meat replacements. Here are some things to start off with: Frijoles negros Lobia sabzi Iranian baked beans with pomegranate molasses, walnuts, and chard Börülce salatasi (Turkish black-eyed bean salad) Dino's raajma Classic BBQ baked beans Prebranac (Serbian baked beans)

There's a really good series of vegan recipes current running on the Guardian website which are pretty much all worth a look at. I'm more or less cooking my way through them most weekends. The New Vegan The butternut squash and black bean mole recipe is beany, mushy and entirely awesome, but in a much better way than just being another dip. But honestly I've cooked maybe 75% of the recipes on that list now and none has been a disappointment.

The hot minute that the weather stops being an rear end in a top hat, and I can open a window, you can bet your buttons that I'll be making bean salads for /days/. I'm partial to fava beans, cucumber, tomato, dill, lemon, and olive oil. But I also like black eyed peas, sliced green olive, hummus, cabbage (finely shredded), diced dill pickles, grated carrot, and chopped celery. SO good in a lettuce wrap. I'm a huge fan of that texas caviar stuff because it's basically opening cans and dumping it in with a few fresh ingredients. Do not forget beans in salads. They are excellent to throw into ALL the things.

I'd be interested in some bean salad recipes as it's summer here right now. I was thinking of picking up some cans of 4 bean mix or lentils as they are on sale and doing some sort of salad with them. I've already picked up 2 cans each of black beans, kidney beans, cannelinni beans, pinto beans and chickpeas for my meals below when the weather gets cooler. The cans are half price again so works out the same as dried beans, and not having my own kitchen anymore sucks when I want to do lots of bean cooking or any stew in general. I have to share the kitchen and hardly get any time in it. For black beans, I do something similar to the above frijoles negros. With dried beans I have read old (maybe traditional recipes) where half the trinity goes in with the unsoaked beans and they are simmered for hours. The beans absorbing some flavour, the veg turning into some sort of stock. Then the rest of the trinity and spices are sauted and added. Can version is just saute the veg, the spices, add drained beans and cover with veg stock for 30min-1 hr For cannellini beans I do pasta e fagioli. I've posted a non vegetarian and non vegan recipe before but I can clean it up if anyone cares. For kidney beans I do a creole beans and rice (posted before), or skip some creole spices and sauces and up the chilli to make a "bean chili" For chickpeas I do an Indian curry. Mustard seed, cumin seed, onion or aestofida. pumpkin or butternut, cauliflower, turmeric and garam masala or curry powder in a tomato or coconut milk sauce, optional spinach. Pro-move is roast the pumpkin with garam masala and roast the cauliflower with the turmeric before adding to the curry. E: for pinto beans I just do a veg version of frijole charros with tomato or borrachos/drunken beans with some beer or spirits or make refried beans for wraps and salad Fo3 fucked around with this message at 09:53 on Jan 21, 2018 |

Also not all beans are dried or canned. About 8 weeks ago I planted some chinese red long noodle/yardlong noodle beans and starting to get some. The seeds were 6 years old from 2 house moves before and I had no idea if they were still viable or if they would go OK in a pot. 3 out of 4 seeds germinated and started growing real quick The beans grow about 1-2" a day. Only 1 plant got the head start on a pair of beans but others are now flowering and growing beans. Going to make a nice veg stirfry when I get a couple more large ones and after I buy some veg and nuts. Fo3 fucked around with this message at 10:27 on Jan 21, 2018 |
