/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Any Asian recipe. Get a wok. And a crock pot. Going gluten free is far easier than people think.

your pic related seems like a good answer to your request. easy, cheap, doesn't include barley,wheat,rye.

just buy some chicken pieces, season, and throw in the oven. steam some green beans, and cook a starch (i cant tell what the starch in the picture is.. rice maybe?).

basically, easy made and cheap defaults to chicken or pork. give me some more info and i can give you a better answer. what kind of food do you and your girl like?

I love meat. When I visit my parents I eat meat only and my girlfriend loves vegetables, soups.

>>4268783
chicken thiighs are dirt cheap for meat and you can get a bag of frozen veggies for a buck

>>4268807
I know, but I want something a bit more fanciers. Could someone post some recipes?

>>4268804
that's still incredibly vague. let's try something else

chicken, pork, beef, or fish? (pick one- i listed them from cheapest to most expensive)

do you want a meal that's more "separate" (piece of protein and sides) or combined (like a casserole or pasta or something) ?

potatoes, pasta, or rice?

>>4268830
Pork, potatoes. I never ate fancy food so I have no idea what is casserole. I want everything in one plate?

>>4268783
Depending on where you live certain foods will be cheaper than others.

I can get salmon really cheap because I live near a fish market, but most people don't like to go to them, or don't have access.

So safe bet is chicken.
You can do whatever you want with chicken.
It is usually cheaper to buy a whole chicken and you can either learn how to debone chicken http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jw2xABXr4uE
or you can roast a whole one, which is stupidly easy and looks fancy,

Get a whole chicken, rub it with some oil, pepper, thyme, nutmeg, salt, whatever you have. (if you have nothing, salt and pepper works fine)
Butter under the skin makes it really nice

stuff the chicken with herbs and lemon slices and roast at 350-75 for about an hour.

Done.

Also when you're done eating it you can use the carcass to make soup.

Stew is also quite cheap and great for winter


2-1/2 lb (1.1 kg) lean boneless stewing beef, (chuck recommended)1 tbsp (15 mL) oil3 tbsp (45 mL) butter3/4 cup (175 mL) finely chopped onions1/4 cup (60 mL) all-purpose flour1 tsp (5 mL) salt1/2 tsp (2 mL) freshly ground pepper1 bay leaf1 tsp (5 mL) crushed thyme1 tsp (5 mL) crushed marjoram4 cups (1 L) lightly salted beef stock, or water8 small potatoes8 onions8 medium carrots1/4 medium rutabaga, (yellow turnip)3 medium parsnips3 canned tomatoes, plus 1/2 cup liquid1 cup (250 mL) frozen peas1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped fresh parsleyPreparation
Cut beef into 1-1/2-inch (4 cm) cubes; pat dry with paper towel. In heavy saucepan, heat oil and butter; brown meat one layer at a time. (For a rich tasty stew, it's important to brown meat well at this stage.)

When all meat is browned, set aside. Melt more butter in saucepan if necessary and saut?nion until tender and golden. Stir in flour; continue cooking over medium heat until flour is golden.

Return meat to saucepan; add seasonings (pepper, bay leaf, thyme and marjoram) and stock. Using wooden spoon, scrape up all browned bits from bottom of pan. Simmer, partially covered, until beef is tender, about 1-1/2 hours. Either cool and refrigerate overnight to allow flavours to mellow, or proceed with vegetables.

Peel potatoes, onions, carrots, rutabaga and parsnips. Leave potatoes whole; cut a shallow X in root end of each onion. Cut carrots, rutabaga and parsnips into finger-length sticks.

Chop tomatoes coarsely.

Add vegetables to stew and cook, covered, at moderate simmer until all ingredients are tender, about 30 to 40 minutes. Add peas; simmer 5 more minutes. Taste, adding more seasoning or liquid if necessary.

casseroles are quite the opposite of fancy. they're those dishes that have all the ingredients put into a baking dish and thrown in the oven. can still be delicious. anywho, i'll see what i can do for you.

>>4268783
if you need wheaty stuff you could get some delicious rice powder for frying chicken in.

>>4268843
Beef is not only expensive in my post soviet country, but either I don't really like the taste. Maybe I never ate well made beef.

>>4268818
put the chicken in a bag, add flour, shake

dip chicken in beaten eggs mixed with hot sauce

then dip in panko break crumbs

put on a baking sheet sprayed with pam and cook for 1 hour at 350 degrees f

>>4268853
if you're post soviet, use horse.

I prefer horse meat but it's impossible to find here unless you order it from the French restaurant that gets picketed daily.

OP this site will help you. I have already set the search terms to include gluten free dishes to facilitate your needs as a Celiac.

Also, I forgot you can't have wheat, so replace flour with chickpea flour, or almond flour or something.

Cornstarch works great as an alternative for breading, and thickening.

>>4268861
My grandpa tried horse, he said it was not as good as pork. :/

>>4268872
I found it was more of a cross between elk and beef.

But I'm big on game meat, and anything with stronger flavours.
I'm also one of the few people I know who likes wild boar.

But horse tartare made my taste buds go to heaven.

>>4268883
Wild boar is great, elk too. He was forced to eat horse when he and his parents were banished to Siberia.

>>4268890
generally the reason many survivors and people who lived through the soviet era hate it, same with the English who lived through the war.

Forced to eat it, and it reminds them of poverty.

I like it though, understand why some people can't eat it.

>unemployed loser
>can't figure out how to feed himself
>can't type a proper sentence
>has an imaginary girlfriend

Yep, I'm on 4chan. Just ask your mom to make you another grilled cheese with the crusts cut off.

But I am living in the dorm with my girlfriend studying physics.
P.S. It's too late to answer, right?

- Chili con carne with a lot of beans is cheap. It will last for days.
- Fried eggs are also cheap to make.
- Spaghetti, tomato, parmasan, olives
- Whole chicken
- lasagna
