/ck/ - Food & Cooking

>>11395154
Good. Yes.

>>11395154
Travel to a small village in Italy and learn from the locals.

>>11395154
Its all whatever you want. Shitpost thread obviously with this vid where he calls it gravy, which is a local American meme. Anyways, TLDR the best advice I ever got about Italian cooking is working with what you got. Would this sauce taste good? Fuck yes it would.

And honestly I hate fat people, but people shitting on a chef for being fat (Especially an italian american one, the ones most raped by modern food trends) have no bran.

That insane breathing.

Not wasting my time watching that nonsense but I imagine anything sponsored by a company called "eHow" is probably garbage.

>>11395154
I can't watch that video.
I'm usually not easily annoyed/disturbed, but something about the labored way he breathes...

>>11395154
>spaghetti gravy

its sauce, not gravy

>>11395181
>have no bran.
How about oat? Do they have oat?

>>11395154
>filthy greasy guido wops who call sauce "gravy"

and yes I do make my own. spaghetti sauce is literally just crushed tomatoes with spices and shit added. there's no point in buying the crap pre made version

>>11395203
eHow has some pretty decent recipes

>>11395266
>and shit added

this faggot admits to eating shit

>>11395266
I agree, I like Biscuits and white sauce with sausage

>>11395154

>>11395273
I usually fine dice an onion and a bunch of garlic and sweat it down in olive oil first, then add the crushed tomatoes. Then spices (oregano, black pepper, red pepper flakes) as I feel like it.

you can add all kinds of shit, like kalamata olives, artichoke hearts, pretty much whatever the fuck you feel like. italian food in general is pretty easy

>>11395278
quit being pedantic. gravy vs sauce is a goofball east coast eyetalian-american guido expression that everybody picked up on because of the Sopranos.

>>11395327
why? I wasn't the one that sperged out about it.

the basis is tomatos cooking with fat. fat moderates the tart tomato flavor. so, olive oil, sauteed onions, sausage, fatty meat, anything

>>11395318
frying the spices in the oil first releases more of their flavors and makes sort of an infused oil. learned this from japanese cooking.

>>11395535
works best for red pepper. I don't like doing that with oregano or leafy spices, especially when fresh. I think it burns the flavor.

one of the best things to do with fresh cooked pasta sauce is seafood pasta. I generally cook up some angel hair in salt water, then do mussels/clams plus whatever the fuck leftover saltwater fish I have chunked up in white wine for about 5-6 minutes. Then you throw in a scoop of crushed tomato based sauce (I usually just stick with olives for the add on although I really like artichokes) cook for 2 minutes then throw it on the pasta.

"Italian" food is stupid easy and pretty versatile depending on your tastes. Just don't serve it to real italians, they are the biggest food autists in the world.

>>11395154
you throw in every leftover meat from the fridge

Everyone says gravy instead of sauce in this state. fucking wop mongoloids. they also overpronounce all italian words. PROSHOOT. MOOTZARELL. RIGGOT

>>11396748
fuck off paisan! go have some gabagool and brushettee

>>11395154
I copied this recipe. Sauce turned out bretty güd

amerians larping as europeans is so embarrassing

>>11395154
Put oil in a pan, put in garlic whole or chopped, don't let it actually turn brown but fry it a bit, pour in passato, stir in salt and fresh basil leaves, cook it.

>>11395154
>That heavy breathing

This guy sounds like he's going to drop dead soon.

Here you go OP, this is real Italian spaghetti gravy.

People dropping dead of heart attacks these days is actually pretty rare. A fat fuck like him well be on multiple medications for blood pressure and cholesterol, a CPAP machine, etc.

He'll likely make it to 70 but his joints will be shot and he'll be missing a leg from betus.

>>11396748
god I hate that. Around here, they never used to do it, it only got trendy after the Sopranos.

americanized deigos are fucking trash, half of em are inbred with the irish anyways, it's not like they can claim pure ancestry.

>>11397154
it's sad how we can patchwork quilt lardasses back together after they have a coronary and keep them alive on beetus meds for $2000/mo. Aside from the money, I'd hate to be a doctor, you are essentially enabling the horrible life choices of people like this fatso at the cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Some chucklefuck on here actually made this once

Italian food isn't that great.

>>11395154
I kind of want to make spaghetti sauce tonight instead of just using a pre-made. I have onions, garlic, olive oil and a couple cans of crushed and diced tomatoes.
Is there anything else I need?

>>11397615
Thyme is good in tomato sauces. As another anon said add fresh basil but only at the very end of cooking.

His good safety is shit.

>>11397671
>>11397639
I have no fresh basil, but I do have dried stuff.
I also have no thyme, I've got rosemary?

>>11397631
>implying I know what that is

>>11397615
oregano and red pepper flakes

a little dash of cider vinegar if you want it to be more sour

pasta sauce is hard to fuck up and infinitely customizeable. experiment a little

>>11395154
>>11395160

>>11397684
I'm guilty of this in my own kitchen. Never gotten sick tho.

When I worked as a cook, I was super anal about it, though.

>>11395154
His recipe isn't too bad. I saw that video a while ago and I'm not rewatching it, but I think he uses pork chops. I don't use them when I make mine.

>>11397615
Can, can you mix tomatoes like that? Won't that just make a chunky mess?

>>11397615
You will never go back anon, I'm so happy for you and proud of you. Get some basic spices.

Oregano, basil, parsley are a MUST for a good tomato sauce. As well salt and pepper. Some chili flakes if you like it spicy.

It's almost impossible to fuck up and you can put whatever the hell you want in it. I like some diced carrots and celery in mine.

>>11397686
>muh similar soil composition in two different areas of the world produces DIFFERENT results because muh spirits of muh dead ancestors
know how I know you aren't projecting right now city booiii?

>>11397828
I have no oregano. I have basic, rosemary and celery seeds. I also have crushed red peppers, but the BB on those was 2016. They still good?
As for the vinegar, I don't have any cider, but do have malt.

>>11397704
Dried basil usually doesn't have much flavor but it won't hurt to try. Rosemary is fine just don't use too much.

>>11397860
So what brand of walmart tomatoes are you buying grown in volcanic soil with the same climate as san marzano? Consider yourself btfo, faggot.

>>11396795
Why would anybody larp as italian? The only good things there are food, wine and women. Same shit as france(but less piss on the streets)

>>11395154
spaghetti gravy?
IT'S MARINARA!!!! FUCKHEAD!!!!

>>11397860

This is very similar to how we make it at my house. We use more garlic, without the rolled up steak, and I didn't see any oregano or red pepper flakes but I kinda skimmed it

>>11395259
Based.

>>11397862
Best by dates are bullshit. I’ve got a bulk thing of cumin I’ve had since 2011 that still smells and tastes fine. However, take care in using anything uncooked. Spices are notorious for harboring pathogens that just need some moisture and warmth to start reproducing again.

How come when italians moved to america they all became fat and disgusting?

>>11401031
Because they no longer had to grow their own produce to make their tomatoey goop "food".

>>11398337
Architecture. Vistas. Etc. Italy is amazing. Florence especially. Sorry about your lack of passport amerifat.

Basic "gravy" i make. Use some passata or chopped canned tomatoes (with added basil if u can find it. Sweat a lot of garlic and chopped onions in olive oil. Put pork/beef mince - salt pepper. Wait till browned add the tomatoes (make sure there is excess water). Reduce heat. Add more pepper and sugar if too sour/acidic. Add basil andoregano (dried). Add 2-3 different kinds of mature cheese(smoked is amazing) to thicken sauce. Put fresh basil leaves at the end for aroma
Wa la

>watery tomatoe sauce with chunks of different meat in

Fucking yanks I swear to god. An exemplar of the that fact that Italian-American ''''''food'''''' is an abomination.

>>11398337
Naples was fully piss soaked when I visited, and they were also having a garbage strike so the streets were overflowing with trash and downed palm tree limbs. South Italy is the Mexico of Europe.

>>11395154

Never heard of Italian gravy here. I'm quite positive that that would be what here is known as Neapolitan ragù (Rau' in Neapolitan).
The recipe is almost correct but the meat is wrong and the final result does not resemble a correctly done Ragù.
This is a link of a very well done sauce but it is in Italian only, but it shouldn't be difficult to follow.
PS: that sauce must cook on *minimum* heat for at least 5/6 hours to allow the meat to separate

I don't know. There might be something poisonous in your genes

>>11395171
Then visit the next small village and have the locals chastise you for not doing it authentically

>>11397154
It's not rare at all... In fact, it's the complete opposite of rare.

>>11403150
dude people dying is rare in general

>>11395228
It's technically gravy because of the meat.

>>11395561
>I don't like doing that with oregano or leafy spices, especially when fresh. I think it burns the flavor.
I like to add dry oregano with the oil and add fresh oregano with the tomatoes.

>>11403203
only in america

this vid popped up in my recommended not to long ago. seems fine except for the meat. i love meat but i dont like meat in my sauce.

my sauce is pretty much olive oil, garlic and herbs(sage,basil,oregano,parsley,rosemary) fried in the oil, tomato(duh) and some salt and pepper when it starts to bubble.

btw gravy is just guido slang.

>>11397615
Veggies and meat, my favorite is chicken, ground beef or pork belly, carrots, leeks and mushrooms

He died of an heart attack and he wasn't even 20.

>>11395154
>Italian spaghetti gravy

What the fuck? Sounds like something you'd get killed for if you ordered it in Italy.

>>11395171
It literally varies from town to town or village to village.

Honestly tho, the "Italian gravy" is a North American thing because it was cheap to make.

As long as you have decent tomatoes (crushed) and some good soup bones it will come out perfect. And you will need some diligent kids or family to stir the sauce throughout the day.

The secret is that you go to church for an hour or two and let the sauce simmer alone without stirring. At the end of the day, anything with a good marrow and good tomatoes will result in a good sunday gravy.

I have a decent recipe if you want ...

>>11407809

Italian-Americans are the most disgusting subhumans on this planet.
Even poo in the loos look down upon them.

>>11395154
don't get why they call it gravy. gravy is meat drippings, this is tomato sauce with meat grease.

So what you're saying is that you're gravy?

>>11395535
no you didn't

>>11398155
I disagree, I find dry basil to have a lot of flavour, although it's almost completely different to fresh. It's more of a herby tang than the sweet fragrance you get from fresh.

>>11395535
