OT What are you cooking?

[Squeaksmom]

I'm afraid I cooked a pizza with my phone tonight. Tried a new place. Pizza didn't look like much, but that pepperoni actually has a pretty good kick to it!

Salt

 

[twelvetigers]

Salt

Salt is technically a mineral, not a spice. I don't think it counts.

Pepper, on the other hand...

My one past that would probably be... can I do a mix? Like Old Bay or poultry seasoning? Maybe the most useful. Oh! Taco seasoning. Supeer important.

ok need some advice. tried roasting a mix of butternut squash, sweet potato, and brocolli stems in my air fryer. I used salt, pepper, italian seasoning, and olive oil. the veggies were nice and roasty, but "dry". any suggestions for a sauce? or should I have used more oil on them? or drizzled some after they were done?

In my experience vegetables that dry out often need more olive oil on them, although I've never used an air fryer so not sure if that just happens more often with air frying

However, if you're looking for a good glaze recipe I like this one: Balsamic Roasted Vegetables Recipe - Budget Bytes

 

[killerleaf]

thank you, @vetmedhead I will give that a try!

 

[CoffeeQuestionMark]

I am craving pomegranate eggplant. Was craving it a few weeks ago and it slipped my mind, then for some reason today I thought of it again and some of my classmates were like

what
what is this pomegranate molasses you speak of

I'd like to have an ethnic dinner party and eat all the food. There is a single ethnic grocery store nearby that I've never been to but hoping they carry it. Will check after exams are over.

 

[twelvetigers]

I’ve had a hard time finding pomegranate molasses before. I never have, actually, but I haven’t looked lately either...

 

[Trilt]

One of our local Mediterranean restaurants has a small grocer attached that routinely stocks pomegranate molasses.

The helpful cashier made sure to tell me that it wasn't a soda/drink last time I went there and picked up some...

 

[killerleaf]

i have seen bobby flay use pomegranate molasses...lol what does it taste like?

 

[PippyPony]

Maybe look on Amazon? I've bought stuff on there like grape leaves, chinese hot pickled mustard leaves in oil, powdered chai spice, etc

 

[Trilt]

If you've had pomegranate juice before, just concentrate and thicken that flavour. I've actually basically accidentally made it before while trying to candy pomegranate seeds, haha.

 

[killerleaf]

ooooo yum!! would you get the same taste reducing grenadine?

 

[CoffeeQuestionMark]

I've only ever seen it one place, at a Central Market back home.

 

[twelvetigers]

Apparently we have a "Jerusalem Market" that has it, since Whole Foods, Fresh Market, Trader Joe's, and the local chain are all a no go.

Salmon teriyaki bowl with brown rice, cucumber, and avocado

 

[genny]

I made myself a package of girl scout cookies tonight.

 

[PippyPony]

To clarify, I didn't make my dinner either lol

Husband did, like always

I can make pasta or spend 4 hours on a single dish

What kind of oil did you use? A higher quality/concentrated oil may make a difference (I tend to use avacado oil) and can always try cooking them a little less time each try until you get them where the consistency is what you want.

Hey you're basically my partner. Except he can only cook in bulk so we have eight pounds of whatever he spent 4 hours making.

Oh man. Texas area? If so, I loooooved Central Market as a kid in Houston. I recently visited a friend still local and he put up with the hour drive from his place to go visit again. I literally stashed two olive loaves in my carry-on home.

Lentil eggplant stew!
#inspired

 

[Squeaksmom]

I cooked a large quantity of chips and guac last night. It's been a bitch of a last two weeks and when I'm stressed I stop eating. I have about -15 lbs to lose at the moment, so I needed something high-calorie that would actually tempt my appetite a bit. And hey... I actually did eat something!

Also @Trilt I'd love that stew recipe if you're willing to share. Those are things I love and it looks delicious!

Ah... so she did! Thank you for pointing that out. Between me and the dog both trying to die last week I'm not running on much of anything but stubbornness right now....

I only somewhat followed the recipe, too, but that's basically how I cook haha. I actually do really recommend some sort of contrast in it; it's kinda a one note recipe on it's own. I dumped a half container of chopped capers into mine, but olives or just some lemon on top would prob taste good too!

 

[Squeaksmom]

Thanks for the tip!

 

[WildZoo]

olives

capers tho?

Capers are good

I found the pomegranate molasses and finally made my stew. Wasn't hungry last night so it is all going towards lunches this week. Had that with yogurt-saffron rice for lunch today and it was perfect. I dunno why I don't make this dish more often.

 

[CoffeeQuestionMark]

In this time of need I would like to share a creation of mine. Perfect time to make it because since we are all in online classes now, no one can judge your eating habits.

Step 1: press out canned or homemade pizza dough to your desired thickness
Step 2: place halved string cheese along the edges (or full string cheese if you so desire)

Step 3: Use crescent roll dough to cover the string cheese
Step 4: add desired toppings
Step 5: microwave a tablespoon of butter and a minced clove of garlic; brush or spread along the Crescent roll dough

Step 6: bake at 425 degrees until done

 

[Squeaksmom]

No photo, but grilled cheese with mushrooms and onions and two slices of jalapeno havarti.

I don’t know what I did because I didn’t use measurements but it was so delicious. Now I’ll never be able to recreate it...
Some sort of mushroom garlic parm cream sauce? This is after I killed most of it in like five seconds flat so not the best photo

I still don’t know what I did but maybe you can recreate it? I am a terrible cook so the fact this was so delicious is amazing me
Add butter to probably too small frying pan. Dump in container of mushrooms (rinsed but not perfectly dried). Add a knife full of diced garlic from a jar. Is it too much garlic? It drips from the knife and your roommate makes a face. No, there is no such thing. Add more. Have on medium high heat and then turn down to medium when it’s bubbling. Reduce. Reduce more. Did you reduce too much? Who knows. The mixture is starting to stick to the pan a lot. Add cream. Get courageous. Add more cream. Regret how much cream you added. Dump in some grated parm, like a baby’s fist size bit. Add salt and pepper. Oh geesh I didn’t mean to add that much pepper. Reduce. Hmm this looks edible. Eat. Be amazed. Optional: Cry and send a photo to your sister when you realize you’ll never be able to recreate it.

You sound like you've joined the vmh and @Trilt school of cooking. Rule #1 is you forget to measure everything and you substitute half of the recipe, assuming there ever was a recipe
