very nice! I am sorry to see that the black olive rations in your region have been cut to the bone, but you managed to make a delicious-looking pizza in the face of extreme privation, and for that I salute you.

Also one pot pasta is confusing and sad. I prefer Sunday sauce if I have to eat it and I don't even like red sauce.

what kinds of pasta do you make? I've made pasta-like things, but never pasta per se, altho I'm gonna do raviolis one of these days.

I do a lot of orecchetti, rotini, lasagna, tortellini and ravioli. It's easy stuff and it's fun and I dye it with vegetables to make it prettier. Sometimes I marble my dough if it's lasagna because it doesn't have to be perfect but it does have to be sturdy and pretty.

Let's make: fideuá!*

*I have never made fideuá before. I didn't even know it existed until a couple of weeks ago. It's sort of like paella only with noodles. It's traditionally made with seafood, but you can make it with landfood like chicken and chorizo, which is what I had and thus what I will attempt to make.

Let's get this poo poo started:


I found fideo noodles that you'd probably use for sopa de fideo if you were Mexican from a local Latin American store. Then we got some piquillo peppers from a jar, black Olives, little chorizos (Spanish kind, not Mexican), celery, a paste made from sweet pimenton and mashed piquillo (because I can't get ñora pepper paste here, and it's hard to find outside Spain apparently), some red shepherd pepper, 4 big cloves of garlic and about a quarter big Spanish onion, roughly chopped. Up top is half a can of San marzano tomatoes, Ortolina (which is like tomato paste but better and if you ever see it you should get some), 1l chicken stock, saffron, and some leftover rotisserie chicken from the grocery store. The small jar is some very underwhelming garlic aioli.


A bigass pan and some Olive oil. Btw I am a messy cook so ignore the mess, it's what I do.


Two packs of noodles. Too much perhaps? Probably would make less next time, and only use one.


Stir these around until they start to brown. Is this brown enough? Maybe. Probably.


Put the noodles aside and then fry up the vegetables.


Heat up the stock with a pinch of saffron


Once the onions and stuff are starting to brown up a bit, chuck in the chicken and tomato and pepper pastes, mix it all together and get it cooking.


Pour in the tomatoes and stir around, let their juice deglaze the pan, get boiling.


Chuck the noodles back in the pan and mix through.


Gradually add the stock. Mix it through but dont keep stirring, think paella. I maybe stirred too much and maybe used too much stock. The noodles absorb it really fast.


Well at least it looks the part!


Under the broiler for a brief bit to crust the top a little.


Bit of aioli on top. Zero effort plating, but it is peasant food, after all.

How did it turn out? Like the home made version of the very good restaurant version I had in London. Not bad, but definitely could use some refinement. Also I made way too loving much. Not a bad first effort, but it suffers for not having good Spanish ingredients. I can see why this is done traditionally with seafood, and I think it would be better that way, but the seafood here is trash so.

it's finally cold so I made some beef stew but naturally i only took 2 pics because




It's pretty much the straight serious eats pressure cooker beef stew from homemade chix stock with a couple of subs/adds like deglazing with old rasputin, and the parsnips and the marrow bone

I meant to mention, this looks really good, thanks for sharing!

it looks reminiscent of something I had in Barcelona a couple of years ago, although that one was more . . . saucy, I guess? . . . than your dish. I like the crispy noodles in yours, they look tasty.

Yes. Homemade pasta is like , light years better than dry pasta and cheap cheap cheap. Make spinach noodles for your lasagna. Make real bolognese for the meat and some bechamel. You can divide it up over about 3 days and it's not so much work. Roll the nude-ulls real thin and do more layers of them and it makes a much nicer texture. I have a pasta attachment for my kitchenaid and I like it fine.

Speaking of making real bolognese, this recipe will change your life:
http://foodnouveau.com/recipes/how-tos/how-to-make-an-authentic-bolognese-sauce/
And you don't have to follow it perfectly to still get the results. You can make it dairy free by using oat milk, which works great. You can simmer it for the recommended 2-3 hours, but you can speed it along at a bit higher heat and it's still delicious after 1-2. It's definitely worth the effort!

cool cool, thank you both. I will consult and see if folks would like a bolognese. I am now vaguely wondering about how well a vegetarian bolognese with "beyond beef" would work (for the veggie one). I don't know how you replace the pancetta though and that seems p. important. I used bacony tempeh strips in a bean dish this summer and that worked out p well flavorwise, but texturally it didn't do much of the work that bacon does.

I've made it without pancetta before and it still turns out good. You could maybe substitute some pine nuts and maybe diced up olives, but it's totally fine to skip it. I wouldn't use fake bacon, and even normal North American style bacon I think would be too overpowering. You can also use prosciutto ends instead of actual pancetta, though that's still meat.

My family does a v traditional southern Thanksgiving where everything has at least some turkey or fatback in it, but my sister is coming with all her kids and the girls are all vegetarians now. I'm pretty excited to try out Kenji's Vegetable Wellington on them. Looking forward to the crash course on mushrooms, and this will put mushroom gravy on the table so they can get their mashed potatoes and stuffing on. And they're not actually vegan, so I can use real butter and puff pastry. Watch me upstage my uncle's dry rear end turkey and wind up stuck doing this every year.

Lemme share a recipe I came up with a while back. Haven't made it in a while, but it's fuckin good. It's vegetarian, not vegan, because of the cream used in the topping and the butter used in sautéing. You could probably make it vegan, but the mash wouldn't be creamy which wouldn't be great. It's basically shepherds pie only since it's got no sheep in it, I called it harvest pie.




Cepes=porcini
Swede=rutabaga
Heavy cream=whipping cream or double cream
H&P=that Japanese chili seasoning in the little glass jars (substitute cayenne or some other chili)
Berbere=Ethiopian spice mix, I use mild. Google what's in it if you can't get it and want to blend your own. You could probably substitute some ras al hanout and paprika or something.
Yeast flakes=nutritional yeast
Seasoning is all to taste, use your judgement. Figure 1-2 teaspoons of each of them. If you're using dried rosemary, grind it up in a mortar&pestle.

I did a test run with a pretty simple recipe I found online--this was just with store-bought noodles, haven't graduated to the handmade ones yet--and I think it's pretty promising. I think it could really use a bunch of mushrooms for meatiness however.

I made the 'chos, but my camera is rear end. They taste better than they look.

My only regret is that I added too much cheese to the sauce (I was just eyeballing) and it's too thick.

the flavor was great! tweaking the recipe with the homemade noodles, some sauteed mushrooms, and an italian cheese blend instead of just mozz made the whole thing really good, we all agreed. my only (very minor) reservation was the very soft texture of the fresh noodles. I guess I'm used to just a little bit of bite/resilience you get when dry noodles are fully cooked. maybe that was due to the recipe I used, my inexperience, etc. but it was worth it for the flavor, and there was enough spinach dough left to make linguini as a bonus.

I did take a photo as it came out of the oven, but tragically I failed to get the all-important cross-section so there's not much to see, the noods are fully covered by cheese

Lamb Kleftiko aka Bandit-style Lamb aka epic Greek pot roast

Get you a leg of lamb, bone in, and break it down into 5-6 portions or so (don't take it all off the bone though), season them with salt/pepper and put in a big bowl. Cut a couple small-med onions into quarters and put them in the bowl. Peel 8 or so cloves of garlic, crush half of them and add crushed garlics to the big bowl. put some baby red potatoes or fingerlings in there, plus carrots and whatever other long-cooking starchy friends you want to put in it and maybe a quartered tomato or two. Top it off with 150-200g of firm feta, cut into large cubes (taste it- if it's REALLY salty you'll want to be careful not to add too much salt elsewhere).

Now, dice the ramaining garlic and, in a small bowl, combine it with half a cup of good olive oil, half a cup of wine (I've used red and white, both are delicious), juice and zest of a small-med lemon (maybe only half a big fucker), 1tbsp of oregano, and 2tbsp of mustard. Whisk it into a weird vinaigrette and then toss everything in the big bowl with it and season with salt and pepper. Let that poo poo marinate for at least a few hours, if not overnight.

Now preheat to 325. Load everything into a 5qt dutch oven with taters on the bottom and meat on the top, fatty side facing up if possible, and place in oven with lid on tight and a brick on top of you want to be thorough. After an hour there will be some liquid accumulating; push the meaty bits down a bit, particularly the bones, into the broth and return it to the oven with the lid. On the 2 hour mark, move the rack up, remove the lid, and start ladeling juices up into the lamb every 10-15 minutes. It's done after 2.5-3 hours when the meat is falling off the bone. Normally I wouldn't cook potatoes this long but with whole baby potatoes they'll keep their form in the skin onto your plate but be totally fluffy inside, ready to be crushed by a fork to soak up the ridiculously tasty lamb+feta gravy.

Traditionally this would be cooked on a bed of coals in a small pit, covered over with dirt for the duration to conceal the delicious smells and the location of your bandit camp from the ottoman invaders from whom you stole the lamb. But since you're presumably not a cypriot freedom-fighter you can use your oven and it will make your home smell amazing

I have seen recipes for doing this thing and have always been curious, but it does seem like a bunch of effort and maybe a bit disturbing to boot. it's one of the areas where cooks illustrated/best recipe is a bit maddening, they're always like "chicken in a v roaster is fine but have you flattened it and cooked it on high heat and oh yeah air dried it for 24 hours in the fridge and also dry brined it u piece of poo poo I thought not u suck and ur chicken is garbage"
