I'd like recipe suggestions based upon what I have in the house! Lots of dried beans! Please post your bean recipes or anything that you think might be useful! here is what we've stocked up on so far, pantry and freezer are full. I can get more things, neither of us are sick yet. Lots of TP and paper towels. Frozen Chicken Frozen Ground Beef Assorted frozen pork (bacon and sausages) frozen fruit lots of onions and garlic canned tomatoes/tomato paste caned beans dried lentils dried black beans dried kidney beans frozen veggies (peas and carrots) Frozen fruit for smoothies Cornbread mix corn tortillas Pasta Bisquick lots of rice Lots of spices Lots of better than bullion Powdered milk Is anything missing? We just need recipes to keep things interesting after we have BEAN confined to our home. Any other suggestions would be welcome thanks in advance!

Grab a few lbs of flour and a bag of yeast and use the time to perfect your daily bread recipe. For bonus points, make your own butter.

Make sure you have olive oil for hummus making and general bean dressing! Also, lots of spices. I'll be stocking up on masalas and chile powder in a minute. CHEESE. GET CHEESE. My bean supply is mostly lentils and chickpeas, since that's what we mostly eat. Otherwise (and in smaller quantities as I'm in an apartment with no chest freezer or pantry), same. But my Costco does delivery on groceries, so I can always get an emergency ten pack of salmon fillets. Anyhoo, Channa Masala. https://minimalistbaker.com/easy-chana-masala/ Suspect Bucket fucked around with this message at 00:24 on Mar 12, 2020 |

If I was sick and quarantined and couldn't shop I'd have a non-sick friend or family member drop off food occasionally, like on my doorstep so we didn't have to interact. I think even normal supermarket home delivery still works. I guess if everyone was quarantined at the same time it may be different.

Thanks for the recipe, Bucket! Love, Peace and Chickpeas! We have a bag of flour, six yeast packets and most of a big block of Tillamook sharp cheddar. Gotta get more of all of that and some more garam masala.... Anyhoo this is what I made last night from this recipe: https://damndelicious.net/2019/04/15/red-beans-and-rice/ (deviations widespread) My wife hates bell peppers so I switched the traditional cajun holy trinity (Onion/Celery/Bell Pepper) with the french one (Onion/ Celery/Carrot). This works great with the carrot providing sweetness that can be bumped up with the spices in your cabinet. Most folks will want to use peppers instead. This is for a household of two adults (with leftovers): - make rice! - Soak a half-pound of kidney beans overnight. I changed the water three times and noticed much less farting on my part - Dice up a sausage from the freezer, brown it well in a large pot you have a lid for and set aside keeping those sweet, sweet meat juices in the pot. - Sautee onion, celery, and carrot until soft. I like to put the onion in a little earlier. - add garlic and a squirt of tomato paste, brown for a bit, along with the veggies. Add spices. I used chili powder, paprika, and a little cayenne. - dump in drained beans, browned sausage, 3 cups of chicken stock (made from bullion) - simmer and cook on low, covered for 15 min then uncovered for 15 minutes - I used my stick blender to make it a little creamier, don't go nuts with it too much or you lose interesting textures. It looked like this (pickled jalapenos for me, we also had leftover cornbread)  And all importantly, lots of leftovers!  Thanks again for all the help everyone!

We're going to make Channa Masala tomorrow, and IP Biryani Saturday (I got a pound of goat from the local college ag store!). Stocked up on eggs and milk. I will brave TJ's on Monday for cheeses and snacks. Going to Dicks Sporting Goods for fishing gear, the local river and canals are heating up, and we're all about to get a lot less busy. Fiancè needs a new light tackle rod and I wanna stock up on trout magnets and powebait. Fish on! Btw, anyone who has access to a fishable clean body of water should stock up on basic fishing gear (and licences), if only for entertainment, but bonus delicious fresh fish.

What's a good chili recipe? I've got pinto and kidney beans, and dried amarillo, guajillo, mulato, habanero, panca and arbol chilies (I just grabbed what I could see, I have no idea about central american/Mexican cooking other than it tastes good). I can get other poo poo too, the local Indian grocer has heaps of variety and white people don't tend to go there so it still has plenty of stock.

I am hunting for a good black bean recipe that an ametuer could handle. The ones that I found also called for ingredients that didn't seem apocalypse worthy. I have the beans and some basic spices. I have already made 2 good batches of 5 bean soup. I learned that rinsing beans is more than just washing them off but soaking them for a long time as well. There seemed to be a cheating method to hydrate them, but the internet consensus seemed to say that soaking them is the best way.

Red Beans and Rice 1 lb kidney beans 1-2 large onions, chopped 2-3 ribs celery, chopped 1-2 bell pepper, green or red 3-4 cloves garlic, minced 4 tbls oil (butter, or coconut or peanut if vegan) fish sauce (optional) cumin seed, bay leaf, black pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper, jalapeno or other hot chilis (optional) 1 cup long grain rice (jasmine is nice here) 2 cups stock (vegetable or meat based) 1 can light / non hoppy beer (cheap pilsner) 3 tbls chopped parsley 5 stalks chopped green pepper (If using meat, you can use smoked sausage, salt pork, ham, etc. Chicken and beef aren't really all that great here but can work). 1. Soak beans in 4x volume of water overnight with 1 tbls salt added. Or, "quick soak" method, bring water and beans up to boil, boil rapidly for 5 mins, remove from heat, cover, let sit for 1h minimum. For either method strain beans, reserve. 2. Heat up oil, add onions, cook onions until browned, add fish sauce or just salt to onions while browning. 3. Add garlic, 1/2 tbls paprika, 1-2 tsp cumin seeds, 1 bay leaf, 1/2 tbls black pepper, 1 tsp cayenne stir with hot onions until fragrant. 4. Add celery and bell pepper, cook until they start to soften and brown, add chopped jalapeno / chilis with the celery if using. 5. Add beer (if using, is fine without) to deglaze, then / or add stock to deglaze. 6. Add beans, add water just enough to fully cover beans, bring to boil for 5 mins, then turn to low heat, cover and simmer. 7. After 30 mins, check water level, beans may swell and soak up water, you may need to add more. If it looks too watery, bring heat up to medium and let simmer uncovered to reduce. 8. Continue to simmer for at least 1-2h, stir occasionally. Simmer until beans are fully softened and until you can mash some against the side of the pan with a stiff spoon. 9. Mash around 1/4 of the beans and stir well, add chopped parsley. 10. Taste, add salt, cayenne etc as needed. A splash of cider or red wine vinegar can help. If using meat, before step 2, brown meat in a large dutch oven, remove, add onions and a little more oil to deglaze fond from the browned meat. Add meat back to dish within the last 20 mins of cooking if using sausage, if using larger cuts of tougher pork you can add earlier. Serve on rice, top with green onion and your favorite hot sauce. E: This dish can be made completely vegan and is delicious. My favorite way to prepare it is with homemade chicken stock and using a pickled pork or smoked sausage.

When cooking onions, give yourself plenty of time and medium-low heat to make them golden delicious, it's the best gift you can give a dish. And fish sauce. mediaphage posted:QuaranBEAN is p good but i've been enjoying the idea of corona casseroles, using whatever's in the house Give it a week, maybe we can do a CookOr Die LITENIN' ROUND.

You can cheater soak beans (if you don't have a pressure cooker) by bringing them up to boil in water, turning it off, and letting it sit for a couple of hours. Then drain and proceed as if your beans were soaked. Long soaks give better, more even results, though, and you can just leave them in a bowl in the fridge.

longtimelurker posted:I am hunting for a good black bean recipe that an ametuer could handle. The ones that I found also called for ingredients that didn't seem apocalypse worthy. I like cuban-style black beans. 1 1/2 green bell peppers, stemmed and seeded 10 cloves garlic 1lb black beans, rinsed (not soaked) and picked over for stones 1 smoked ham hock (or ~8oz frozen ham) & ~4 slices thick bacon cut into 1/2" pieces. 2 bay leaves 5tsp salt +/- to taste 1/4c oil 1 onion, diced 1 jalapeno, stemmed and chopped fine 1tsp dried oregano 1/2tsp ground cumin 1/2tsp ground black pepper 3tbsp white vinegar 1tbsp brown sugar Cut the green pepper into 1" squares, smash and peel 4 cloves garlic. Both in a large pot with the beans, the ham hock or ham, bay leaves, and 1tbsp salt. Add 2qt water, bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for an hour until tender. Make sofrito: Dice remaining half a pepper fine, peel and chop remaining garlic. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook until it starts to brown, then add the green pepper and onion. Cook until onions start to soften, about 3 minutes. Add garlic, jalapeno, oregano, cumin, black pepper, and 2tsp salt, stir for another minute or so. Add vinegar and remove from heat, stirring to get any browned bits off of bottom of pan. When the beans are done, pitch the bay leaf. Remove the ham hock and let cool (if you just used ham, leave that in). Pull out 1c beans and mash them to paste before returning to the pot. Add sofrito, then sugar. If you used a ham hock, strip it of meat, chop that, and return it to the pot as well. Stir, then bring back to a boil over medium heat before lowering to a simmer. Cook uncovered for 20 minutes, skimming any foam. Taste and salt as needed. Serve with rice.

 I HAVE A PROJECT FOR ALL OF YOU Doubtless a bunch of your Facebook friends bought a bunch of food and don’t know poo poo about cooking. They might screw up a lot of dishes or maybe get paralyzed with the fear of not knowing wtf to do with the food they bought and let it rot. PUT A CALL OUT ON FACEBOOK for anyone who has cooking questions and offer to give them cooking guidance! This is not the time to get angry about chicken cheese type of poo poo there is going to be plenty of chicken cheese Easy-Bake-Oven type poo poo out there! Do not turn up your noses! Help your friends learn basics, explain like they’re five! (It’s entirely possible nobody will bite) Steve Yun fucked around with this message at 10:59 on Mar 14, 2020 |

Roast the eggplant and some cauliflower and then use them in a 50/50 mix to make a low carb hummus without the beans. Use the typical seasonings and olive oil and garlic. I just steam bok choy and add sesame oil and some salt before eating. Really fragrant and delicious.

Question from Debate & Discussion: if one can't find a better one, will a meat thermometer do, or will it be wildly inaccurate? I asked him to clarify if it's digital or analog Nevermind, it appears that only Thermapen is reliable to 0.7°F, every other cooking thermometer is accurate to 2°F which is useless Steve Yun fucked around with this message at 02:30 on Mar 15, 2020 |

I asked him to clarify if it's digital or analog It's certainly possible that a cooking thermometer will be calibrated well enough, but I sure as poo poo wouldn't lay money on it. A Mk4 Thermapen is +/- 0.7 F/0.4 C when it's new, for example. Most oral thermometers at least claim a +/- 0.2 F/0.1 C accuracy (although I have no idea how many actually do, or how fast they fall out of calibration).

For the record, the run on groceries is kinda stupid because the warehouses basically have infinite food and supplies they just need you to calm the gently caress down so they can move them from the warehouses to the store. Just get enough to self isolate for two weeks.  You can still get plenty of food as takeout at restaurants because it supports them from going under and minimizes your exposure. Make sure to tip because tip earners are getting hosed. Also, everyone should stockpile a couple weeks worth of food at all times anyways because earthquakes, hurricanes, blizzards, etc. Steve Yun fucked around with this message at 01:44 on Mar 17, 2020 |
