OFFICIAL THREAD: General Cookery and Discussion

Kenjis is stupid easy and good. I dont use straight brick cheese, more a 60/40 mozz/brick blend. And I don’t fuss with making my own sauce. Rao’s marinara works just fine but if you want to compare you can do the whole scratch recipe first.

Local Costco has raos in 3 packs, so that’s useful

Rao's is overrated, IMO. It is good, but a good sauce isn't hard to make and doesn't need to take all day.

But why make a sauce with canned tomatoes when you can just use a jar of sauce is my point I guess.

This does not equate with making a sauce with fresh tomatoes though.

Because jarred tomato sauce is, for the most part, garbage.

Major fail on the all lard crust. It just crumbled. Unsure what i did wrong but one of the worst culinary fails i have had.

Homemade beef and chive dumplings. ?

Bought this today as it was there. I've never cooked with it.

Whip that up with some mashed potatoes... delicious

 

[Piobaire]

Was thinking of a mix of potatoes and making pan fried cod balls.

that was a staple growing up, cheap way for my mom to feed five. I hated it, and still do. She reconstituted in a tomato based sauce. The other stand by’s were liver, oxtails, tripe and beef tongue. I retch when I see that stuff now. When I go to a restaurant and they are featuring oxtails as a special or something, in my head I’m saying, “that’s what we ate when we couldn’t afford real meat!!”

I love ox tail, tripe, and beef tongue.

 

[Piobaire]

Tripe I just cannot do. Oxtail and lengua I love.

 

[Lizard23]

Red dal with fresno chiles and coconut.
