/ck/ - Food & Cooking

ok this is my recipe

500g mince beef
1 can kidney, sometimes I add in another can of mixed beans. I pour all the liquid out and let this soak to remove the fucking shit taste for like 20min before cooking
2-3 onions
1-2 sticks of celery
1-2 capsicums, more colours the better
garlic cloves, like 6
what ever red meat I have lying around, sometimes I have put in sausage and it works really well
a bit of passata sauce like 50 or 100ml idk, depends I just eyeball it
1 can of crushed tomatoes
water to adjust thickness

for the seasonings
2 stock cubes
pepper
salt
cumin seeds, sometimes I put them in and sometimes I grind them
caraway seeds, same shit
marjoram
oregano
star anise
paprika (get the most foriegn shit you can find, not any generic shit I mean REALLY weird shit, really weird imported shit, I have been using pic-related and its great
sumac - sometimes
probs something else but I forgot

the most IMPORTANT thing to do is to fucking toast your spices. I notice a visible change in the gradient of the paprika after I toast it. It adds such a complex taste, it is truly wonderful. Don't fucking forget it cunts. It is so important you wouldn't believe

I will make a tutorial eventually
