Thai green curry, get dunked scrub 😎
Something about borscht is just peak wholesome to me. I like pure flavours where the quality of the main ingredients is what you’re showing off. If you don’t add the sour cream, borscht is just good vegetables being healthy.
Is it worth trying if I have never enjoyed beats? (though only tried them once or twice)
Also I thought it was made with meat broth?
yes, and it doesn’t have to be.
Nice, I’ll give it a shot :)
i like to add cayenne pepper to it sometimes, since this is a spicy food thread
I roast my beets and carrots first, then saute a mirepoix from the garlic/onion/celery/tomato. That way the foundations of the dish have a much more complex flavour than boiling alone. Traditionally it’s usually made with stew beef and a chicken stock. When making it vegan I use sauteed shiitake mushrooms, cannellini beans, and a vegetable stock.
I made some beef stroganoff last night with steamed broccoli tossed in parsley butter and parmesan with egg noodles. I dry rubbed the beef before braising it for 3 hours with caramelized onions and mushrooms and cabbage and stock before finishing with dijon and sour cream and a little parsley. Added a little horseradish because what the fuck am i ever going to use this horseradish for. Other seasonings and herbs too though including but not limited to fresh lemon thyme and rosemary from my garden
turned out perfect👌
Not my favorite food though. My favorite food is whatever I’m cooking right then. Tomorrow I’m going to use my hand me down smoker to smoke dry some jamaican jerk rubbed jerky i have marinating and then turn it up to grill some jerk chicken and probably have that with roasted plantains, collard greens from my garden, and haitian black beans. maybe smoke a little corn and add it to the beans
Too bad none of my tomatoes or thai peppers are ripe and my red ghost pepper plant is huge but still dropping flowers even with low N blooming fertilizer
And if you’re all "oh that sounds good but Im vegan
" well i have good news and you might already know this but making non vegan foods vegan is usually just as easy as “don’t add any animal bullshit”Im thinking when i go back to work in august i’ll try and do a portabello stroganoff, just take portabellos and clean them, cut them into huge chunks, rub with salt, pepper, paprika, a little brown sugar, herbs and oil, a little tomato paste and some balsamic vinegar, maybe some soy sauce, roast them after they marinate for a bit until they’re 👌 put them aside and then just do what I said above. Except you won’t need to braise the mushrooms for 3 hours (a bit of a braise would be good though but don’t kill the texture) so I’d just cook everything else, braise it until the cabbage is good, then add the already cooked mushrooms for another 15 minutes. Other than that you just need to substitute for a vegan stock and IMO add OAT MILK, NOT FUCKING SOY, at the end for creaminess. Maybe add a little soy sauce though especially if you didn’t add any to the mushrooms. And don’t forget the mustard! Also maybe add a little apple cider vinegar to add tang since it’s supposed to have sour cream (unless you know a really good vegan sour cream that actually tastes like real shit, skip it). Coconut milk could be good too but it will make it taste coconutty
Also before starting to braise (adding liquid) you’re gonna wanna do a flour roux unless you want to thicken it later with corn starch. I dunno that’s on yall
I haven’t made this yet but my immaculate and unmatched culinary senses tell me i could make this taste so good people wouldn’t know it’s mushrooms they’re eating
also i was going to say this might be a rare instance where a blended tofu based vegan sour cream might be okay to add but you know what? i think i’d just take a can of any white beans, drain it, blend it up into a puree and then add that. yeah that’s right, hexbear, beans are a thickener. they can also be a sauce. Unfortunately it won’t be as good as sour cream (sorry vegans but it really is some good shit) but i think it might be similar in consistency in the end product
Fuck I gotta try that. I miss stroganoff
I highly endorse it although i haven’t made it that way yet. I think it’d be good though 100%
love thai red curry also. and yellow and green. but right now the thai massaman curry is my favorite.
i read online most thai people do not make it from “scratch” but instead buy massaman curry paste and use that. so i have stockpiled massaman curry paste, coconut milk, and jasmine rice. my proteins and vegetables can be dictated by the season and availability, as CHRIST intended.
with my instant pot, i can deliver myself to the infinite golden heaven as much as i want in just under 30 minutes.
That’s beautiful and I am happy for you
Dahl. Cheap, easy, efficient, nutritious, and so many variations. I make a huge batch once or twice a month so I basically always have some on hand in my freezer.
Hell yeah! Red curry’s my favourite thai curry too, though I like all three kinds. I love when a curry is really tasty even when it is really spicy, so it hurts to eat but it is so good you can’t stop eating it.
Cannot stress that last bit enough. A good vindaloo use to satisfy this craving for me but I stopped eating animal products and was very sad until I discovered how great Thai curry was.
Szechuan braised tofu. Nothing on earth compares.
Green curry is a close second though, although it needs to make you cry
Oh fuck that sounds amazing. Do you have a good recipe?
Try something that’s a mix of this
and this
The braised skins is more what I am thinking, but a more rounded meal though. And you can improve the flavour with more intensity, or adding sweet bean paste (not adzuki, fermented sweet) or douchi. If you make it more liquid black vinegar doesn’t go astray. Idk the world is your oyster.
Dal makhani and malai kofta are two of my favorites. Sometimes my preferences meander though.
Big fan of Japanese-style curry. I oft make it in my household. I’m also fond of Thai Yellow Curry, but the coconut milk makes it far too rich for me. The rare occasion that I make it is wonderful.
Mmmmh, Thai yellow curry is pretty decadent yeah, great in good portions though. This post is making me hungry again.
Succulent Kung Pao Tofu,
Rice and Beans ofc, and
CW not vegan
All three easy recipes but very rewarding.
nice username. also, the first 2 recipes look banger
I prefer Thai green curry personally.
Other favourites of mine include lentils, (vegan) pizza and tacos, and specifically black olives.
Thai green curry paste, mixed with soy sauce, used as a sauce to dip dumplings in. Its delish. I like green curry paste. The dumplings are secondary.
:0
That’s genius
Its so tasty. Curry paste just ugh its so good!! I also love spicy things. If I dont have skin sloughing off the inside of my mouth and tears in my eyes, its not spicy enough lol
Tikka masala goated fr
Coffee I really like. Not for caffeine, actually the caffeine is annoying bc it limits how much I can drink. The flavor and recipe possibilities are more than many people realize. Cascara tea, made from the discarded cherry that contains the coffee bean, is delicious.
Chili rellanos has recently made the rotation. Unlikely that I’ll actually learn to cook that, it seems labor intensive. In regards to curry, I prefer Indian curries. I’m also quite fond of almond chicken
I’ve mastered how to make spaghetti carbonara over the past year. I put a lot of shit in it though so it’s not “authentic Italian” food.
I also make pretty good breakfast burritos and sandwiches.
If you make most of the filling as a rice and bean dish, then you can just stuff it in the pepper and bake it and call it a day.
