What did you make last night? (1 Viewer)

I am a lover of the mushroom flavour but not the mushroom texture, made a basic risotto and threw lots of smoked tofu bits through about 10-15 mins before it was done and it was yummy. got a mushroomy type flavour going on without the horrible bits!

take your index finger and thumb
- bring in a gently pinching motion to tip of nose
-gently squeez etip of nose with said fingers
-note the texture: soft with a bit of resistence.
-contemplate this when next biting into a mushroom.

Nothing you say will EVER make me feel anything but unadulterated love for mushrooms.

Tonight, I made a chorizo* and chickpea stew. Tons of chilli, garlic, dark spices, baby potatoes and finely chopped red onion and red pepper in a tomato broth. By gumbo it was nice.

Sounds nice. My favourite quiche recipe contains tinned red salmon, petit pois and sauteed onions.



Edit: I just know you're going to tell me that there are many things wrong with that.

Speakin of tinned fish -have tinned anchovies been made illegal without my knowledge? I can never find them in shops anymore. And yet they always hve those repulsive tinned mackerel fillets and tinned herring (who buys those?)!

i hope not, i use them in loads of things. dunnes normally have the john west ones, or you can get slightly swankier ones in fallon et posheaux/fresh/listons et al.

anchovies in puttanesca sauce (aka "ho pasta") ... anchovies in potato salad dressing ...

(though weirdly, i hate the texture, so i never eat them whole - just mushed up in sauces)

You'd love Anchioade Toasts so

Mush up half a tin of anchovies, couple of cloves of garlic and some tomato puree well in a pestle and mortar - loosen the resulting gloop with some orange juice spread thickly on slices of toasted bageutte.

I got the urge to do some breadmaking on Sat night. Fucking yeast I had was dead and had to get some more which was a bit of a pain.

Did two batches with a pound of flour each.

I normally hand knead it but I used the dough hook in the food processor. Much easier and no major difference in quality - I'm definately not going back to hand kneading.

I had some kind of a dip made up from sun dried tomatoes and chipotle peppers which I threw into one batch of dough. I had the rind of a lock of parmisean I grated during the week - I threw that into the second.

The chilli one was nice. I was surprised it rose quicker than the parmisean one I figured the chilli would inhibit the yeast a bit. On balace though the parmisean one is nicer.

They both got 2 pretty long provings and you can tell from the finished loaves - nice complicated yeasty taste and slightly chewy.

Reckon I'll be making myself some pretzels (of the large Germanic variety, not the toothpick style things) when I get home.

oooh have you made proper german type ones before? if so pop up the recipe please and thank you! mmmmm

 

[ratmonkey]

Something along the lines of this should make 3:
500g strong flour
1/2 teaspoon sugar
300ml lukewarm water
7/8 g yeast (or one of those packets for bread machines)

Mix that & leave for 20 mins, come back and chop it into 3, roll them out as far as they'll go & make the knot type shape, put 4 teaspoons baking soda in to a litre of boiling water, put each one into that for 30 seconds.
Put salt on top (sea salt for grinders is good, decent size, not too big.)
Leave under a tea towel for 20 mins.

25 mins in oven at 225 C.
