Tiger Skin Bell-Pepper

I could give this one a go so that I'm not just dumping dishes in.

I’m calling this one. I have some, uhhh, ideas...

Just to let you know, these aren't necessarily always paired together, I just thought it'd be nice since neither is a full dish by itself. That said, they are often found at the same time in a larger selection of dishes so it's not any sort of sacrilege to eat them together.

[Fat Gravy]
i started with a piece of salt pork. the aim was to get as many possible variations of fat into this thing

...
on some bread with jam on the side


taste-wise, this was basically a roundabout way of making something that tastes exactly like 40% oil, 60% browned butter. can't taste the cream but i bet that's part of the butter taste

Awesome entry, thanks! When I saw the pork I was thinking "they're gonna nail it", but didn't quite end up like that.

Fat gravy/sauce (läskisoosi) is basically a pork sauce made with fatty pork belly (I think?) and onions. It's thickened with wheat flour and seasoned with salt and a small amount of black pepper. Maybe some allspice or bayleaf, if you're feeling brave. (Finns have traditionally used very little spices.)

Serve with potatoes, pickles and lingonberries with a touch of sugar. Something like this:

And so I did! Tiger Skin Bell Pepper sounds like a striped, stuffed bell pepper, so that's what I wanted to make. I thought I'd cut some stripes to the bell peppers, so after I roast them in the oven I can just peel of parts and make it look like a tiger!


Roasting!


Meanwhile, for the stuffing, I cut down my last chili. (Time to plant this year's lot later this week!)


Besides that, I added some onion, garlic, cashew nuts and carrot, and fried them a bit.


Added cooked rice on the pan with a couple of teaspoons of soy sauce and one teaspoon of sesame oil. When the bell peppers were nearly done, I also added spring onions. (Could've had a higher veggies-to-rice ratio, but this was fine too since there's a lot of bell pepper.)


Unfortunately the bell peppers were already all soft and squished under their own weight, so I didn't even try to get them any blacker than this. Trying to peel off every other sliced piece of skin seemed like too much :effort: compared to the usefulness, so I decided against it after a couple of bits.


The end result.


The bell peppers were already a bit too soft and sweet, so stuffing didn't work as well as I'd hoped. At least the taste was good and I think I'll do a similar dish in the future without pre-roasting or striping the bell peppers, just putting them in the oven with the stuffing for 10-15 minutes.

Macaroni Box

It's a box filled with macaroni and cheese -- anyone know what the real macaroni box is?

Quite close, quite close. In traditional Finnish makaronilaatikko instead of cheese you have a milk-egg mixture. Then you have some ground beef/pork and an onion. Season with salt and pepper, stick it in the oven until it's set and serve with ketchup.
