/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Let's get this ready while the meat browns.

>>5895956

That's not browning, it's steaming - too much meat in a too-small pan.

Oh, I wonder what will go in next?

There goes the black beans..

Woops, those were kidney beans. These are the black beans.

And the tomatos

Maybe just a pinch of jalapenos

Oh alright, a lot of jalapenos

>>5895970

>dem obese hands

and some onion too

>>5895979
a-am I fat anon-sama?

Ooh, I get it - its not-chili chili!!!!

Oh and I got a little weird and threw in some celery too!

>>5895965

>not draining and rinsing

what the fuck is wrong with you

>>5895981
>>5895991

>not frying and caramelizing your vegetables first

Cayanne pepper, chile pepper, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, and more garlic powder

>>5895956
> roast garlic powder
you went full pleb in your first post, anon
gg

>>5895997

>garlic powder
>not adding crushed garlic cloves with what should have been your CARAMELIZED vegetables

Time to add the meat

Now let's let it cook for a while..

>>5896003

>gray looking meat with hardly any browning

>>5896010
That was actually a while ago. Here's a more recent pic. It's coming along.

So that's where we are co/ck/s. Post some OC. I challenge you to post your dinner for tonight. Take pics just like I did. It doesn't matter if it is shit, just do it.

>>5896017
Fuck here's pic

>>5896016

see

>>5895962

That poor meat never stood a chance.

>>5896017

I've given some harsh critiques but I think it's good that you're trying. Just brown your meat better, caramelize your vegetables and let it simmer for at least an hour in the future.

>>5896017
Some pretty pleb tier criticisms in this thread.
>>5896022
Just shut up in the future, you sound like an ass.

>>5896037

OK, enjoy your spongy celery and tomato soup.

>>5896022
It's still simmering right now. I only took these like a half hour ago

I'm so glad my chili doesn't look like that abomination.

I lost my appetite

>>5896017

Well. Here's a pie I made a while back that I was pretty damn happy about. It's got 4 different cheeses in it. Quattro formaggio inspired, in other words.

>>5895956
OC is always good mate, happy with the results?

>>5896480
It was alright, it needed more spice and I should have used a different meat. The spice got diluted too much.

>>5897518
Beef is a really thirsty meat, the seasoning just gets lost sometimes.

>>5895985
Dyel

>it's another chili thread

>>5896019
Looks pretty horrible.

Remove tomato sauce, substitute some tomato paste and a bottle of your favorite beer.

>>5897625
Oh, and wash your fucking beans you peasant.

Salt Pepper Garlic onions and some beef

>>5897892
added a can of tamtoes aswell as tons of spices as well as soem tomato paste
(3 different chili poweders, hot and smoked paprika powder, salt, pepper and soem other stuff)

>>5897900
Needed more everything

>>5897910
Did I just add a can of beans?

nice stuff anon

>>5897919
Oh cool coincidence, whilst letting it simmer and making final adjustmens my Chinese roommate brought me some steamed pumpkin. Eating it with smoked and sweet paprika

>>5897919
nice Texas style chili!

>>5897919
Pretty much done now, just letting it simmer for a while

>>5897925
thanks, tastes good, too

>>5897627
Is this really a thing? I always drain them, but I always assumed that it added to the flavor

OP you should get chipotle peppers in adobo. Totally changes the flavor of the chili and I find its an extremely important ingredient

>>5897946
i drained mine, but did not wash them

>>5897625
I use tomato sauce, paste, and beer
Nobeans

>>5895992
I was making a chili once, forgot to drain the kidney beans before putting them in, just threw the entire batch out and started again.

>>5897960
real chili doesn't have any of that shit

>>5896017
>It doesn't matter if it is shit
oh, good thing

>>5897931
that actually looks pretty good, would eat

>>5898392
thank you, i would reccomend eating it.
just ate soem more of it for dinner

>>5897931

Wtf is going on? Is anyone else seeing this? Has Chili become the new meme food? Every day i see clueless retards posting oc about their so called "chilis," and what do i see? Some epic red soup with store bought FROZEN jalapenos. No caramelization, kidney beans with water and all STRAIGHT into the mix. Diced meat WAY too big, and no seared enough. Holy shit, why, just why. Its not cool to make chili, its not cool to tell your friends about how you had chili last night and how spicy it was. Go away, you are stinking up the board.

>>5900111
mine or OPs?
it is gone now, had the last bit that was left on toast as a sadwich.

>>5901025
OP here. I bought the jalapenos a while ago freag. I freeze veggies so I can use them in cooking whenever I want. I didn't buy frozen jalapenos just for chili.

>>5895981
>raw onion

>>5903039
I think the chili is hot enough to cook the onion.

>>5895956

Sorry OP, but that looks genuinely horrible. Good for you if you've only just started cooking, but learn the basics so you don't get into bad habits.

Learn why you actually do certain things, like not overcrowding your pan with meat, or marinating your meat first, or cooking off your onions/garlic with dry spices before you add the tomato.

>>5903048

It cooks it in a different way though. Frying reduces the water content in the onion, concentrating the flavour and caramelising the sugars. Those brown bits you end up with are concentrated flavour.

Anon with the actual chili here.
Mixed ground was so cheap today I am making some quick burgers.
50/50 ground, onion salt pepper garlic.l. Super basic stuff

>>5904155
Almost there l!

>>5904159
Done
Slightly underseasoned them l, but still quite good

>>5895956
> garlic powder

>>5904164

Looks pretty OK.

>>5896145
Basil unevenly distributed, 1/10 would not eat.

>>5904209

But... I worked r-really hard on that pie.

>>5903128
brown is flavour

>>5904216
I'm kidding. It looks amazing.

Are those black olives?

>>5904219

Aw, thanks. <3
Yes! Kalamata to be specific.

>>5896017
ok fine op, here's my terrible bachelor cooking for tonight.
hungry at 4am without much in the fridge, found some potato, a shallot, green onion, and a couple eggs.

Microwaved the potato a bit to pre-cook it before frying.

Fried it all in some tallow I had left over from cooking something else. I probably should have browned the potato a bit more before adding the other ingredients.

added some eggs that i burned a little and a side of meme sauce, "wa la". It was okay.

>>5904282
looks quite good, for what it is. hope ou are not hungry anymore

>>5896019
What is the supposed to be? Beef stew?

>>5904216
Could I have the recipe?

>>5904282

looks nice
