What Food or Drinks are you cooking (2020)

[Cryingdick]

There is already a long running food thread going in the western food section. If you want ideas there are thousands of them. Maybe merge the threads?

Breakfast. Salmon, garlic, black pepper, oregano, a little olive oil-butter.

Fried potatoes with onions, bell peppers, garlic, and bacon.  Served with an over easy egg.....

I have made beef stew three times in the last month. It keeps getting better. Secret ingredients to make the gravy tasty are steak sauce and oyster sauce. No longer secret, I guess. 

 

I start with about 600 grams of fairly lean beef. A bit of fat is OK, but the cheap fatty cuts tend to have a lot of gristle. Cube the beef smallish. Brown the beef with onions and garlic and salt and pepper. Turn down the heat and scoop out the beef with your slotted spoon. Pour in a cup of water. Stir in sifted flour and a tablespoon of corn starch, also sifted. That is, you're making gravy like your mother showed you. You'll be adding half a cup of water a couple of times as the gravy thickens. 

 

In the meantime, you've been boiling your diced potatoes and carrots, just to get a head start on them. Or you can dump them in the stewpot raw if you don't mind simmering a bit longer. 

 

Once you've got a couple of inches of gravy, throw everything back in. Add enough water to cover all. Stir. Add frozen peas. Makro sells frozen mixed vegetables with corn, peas & carrots. I throw in one pack of that, which is probably two cups. Note I added peas and carrots twice. That's on purpose, because I only like a little corn in my stew.

 

Fill your stirring spoon with steak sauce. HP, A1, Heinz, any of them will do. Stir it in. Same with oyster sauce, a bit less than the steak sauce. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, a bit longer if you started with raw potatoes. 

 

Enjoy!

Imported steak is one of the (relative) bargains on the foreign food front here. I get Australian grain-fed fillet steak from Big C Extra in Pattaya costing 1500 Baht/kg. That works out about 40-50% more expensive than a fillet steak back in Britain, while most imported food is 100%+ more expensive than buying it back home. To be honest, I prefer the Aussie beef, too, I think it might be the grain finish that gives it a superior taste.

 

I marinate it in beef dripping before frying it in beef fat, then serve it with chips or a salad and crusty fresh bread. The sauce is either my home-made garlic butter, as in the photo, or else I just whip up some beef gravy with red wine and a smidgen of mustard added to it (that's on tonight's menu!). I get a delicious and healthy meal for a bit over 300 baht, some would say it's a luxurious meal even, but I have it every weekend these days. It's a good excuse to invest in a bottle of decent red, too, instead of the cheap boxed stuff.

In the last couple of months have been making my way through some dessert recipes from my elderly mum, in some cases reliving childhood memories. Done apple crumble, golden dumplings and bread and butter pudding. Already cook similar such as upside down pineapple cake and chocolate self saucing pudding. All go down quite nicely with a good quality vanilla ice cream.

Today's Lunch was my glazed Teriyaki chicken wings with a nice Taco salad. 8 cooked the chicken for 25 minutes in my glass Otto cooked at 150°, basting them just once. Of course had to break the alcohol ban and had a Heineken.....lol

These were done using brown and white sugar. I have used golden syrup which I think is best.

Would Maple syrup work, or better off with using Brown and white sugar?

[Gandtee]

Apple meringue cake. Sadly it got scalped getting it out of the oven..  the oven but it didn't affect the taste.

Using the Japanese style "curry" they sell at Makro will save you a bundle of time and money and effort if you want a rich gravy based stew.

I cook for myself most days for 2 reasons: (1) I have been on keto for 2 years so I like to shop and cook within the keto guidelines, and (2) the wife can't resist throwing about 20 chillies in everything she makes.

 

Most common dishes I make in large quantities to freeze for days I can't be ar$ed are

 

Cream of broccoli soup

Cream of mushroom soup

Keema Pork (pork mince curry)

Slow cooked pork ribs

Crispy fried chicken

Roast chicken with cream cheese and bacon

Baked salmon with cream cheese stuffing

 

and many more

 

Obviously on keto so no rice, potatoes, pasta or bread, but a good substitute for rice is cauliflower rice. I use a lot of olive oil, butter and home made ghee in my cooking.

 

Recently bought some lamb steaks, shanks and mince from paleorobbie.com so am researching some new dishes.

 

 

 

 

Cauliflower mash:

Steam a heads worth of florets. 

Roast 5-10 heads (yes heads not cloves) of garlic in the oven until soft and squeeze the cloves out and mash them, add to a jar with olive oil. Whip two tablespoons of the garlic paste (plenty of uses for the remaining mashed roasted garlic) into the steamed florets adding generous amounts sour cream and parmesan cheese and black pepper/salt to taste. Whip or mash it till smooth. Garnish with chopped chives or bacon bits or cheddar cheese or all three. 

Amazing

Making Pizza and while I am at it a loaf of bread.

I just made the dough 

I cup of warm water

In it mix 1 teaspoon of dry yeast

and two teaspoons of sugar ( food for the yeast)

1/2 teaspoon of salt

3 cups of all purpose flour ( first mix one cup for a minute, and then add the other two and mix for a few minutes. 

Take dough out of bowl and divide in four with a knife.

Shape the four parts into bowls and place in a Tupperware or bowl  and cover . 

let sit overnight for best results . but could use in a couple of hrs of rising. 

The bread I take out every 45 minuted and fold over s few time . I do that four times and it is ready. 

I have already made the sauce (crushed tomatoes , garlic, onions, parsley , salt and pepper.)

Will post final results after my dough rises and I make the Pizza.

Ok  ready to make the pizza

Spread the dough

put tomato sauce on it

Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on it

Then plenty of mozzarella cheese 

chopped Peppers and onions

Pepperoni

It did not come out too round but it looks Artistic 

That;s when things started to go wrong.  I know you are asking "really that's when they started to go wrong?? . any way , more wrong than usual. 

Pizza did not want to slide of the wood and on my pizza stone in the 450 F oven

Anyway after many acrobatics i got the pizza in the oven, 

My mistake was trying to make it thin crust. 

It is in the oven now so stay tuned.
