/ck/ - Food & Cooking

[Anonymous No.13456616]

I was told that /ck/ was full of undercover master chefs and could spit out a divine recipe which is simple but delicious.

Tell me, please, what great dishes can I make by using vegetables, herbs, spices and sauces alone?

I just wanna experiment after eating meat for so long.

You can make just about any animal product based dish with only plants. I've been vegan for 6+ years now, and I make french, italian, indian, thai, chinese, japanese, british & american style dishes, breads, etc.

The best thing you can do is to learn basic cooking techniques and apply them to vegetable based cookery - learn how to sear, braise, deglaze / make pan-sauces, roast, learn how to properly use stainless, cast-iron, or carbon steel and learn how to make the mother sauces with plant-based ingredients (loads of tutorials online).

Focus on seasoning properly, at every stage of cooking, balancing salt, fat, acid, and texture, and building depth of flavor.

Be sure to add protein to every dish you make, or you'll not be satiated. That doesn't always have to be a slab of seitan, tempeh, tofu, etc; you can, for instance, incorporate a protein into a sauce such as you might with almonds when making romesco or an almendrado.

Explore alternative grains instead of just pasta and rice - try freekeh, barley, bulgur, farro, etc.

Lastly, ignore crusty gluten free / raw / vegan recipes and videos. Even popular plant-based "influencers" don't know shit about making things that taste good. Learn classic components and technique, and apply them to vegetable cookery. If you do this, you'll never need a recipe to make something good. You'll wake up one day, look in your cabinets, and find yourself thinking - 'right, I've got farro that I can dress in garlic confit oil for a filling carb, broccolini and summer squash that I can roast at high heat for flavor and texture, and tomatoes, onions, peppers and blanched almonds that I can make into a romesco for sauce / protein.' While you still need a recipe to make something nice, you can't cook yet.

If you want to get into seitan / fake meats, a good starting point is Field Roast's book - they have techniques in there you'll not see anywhere else.

If you want to talk about food and recipes and dishes but then deny an entire category of food and flavour then you will not be taken seriously. Fat is flavour and that comes from animal meat.

There's a lot you can do with just those but if you're just taking a break from meat, I would suggest throwing eggs, cheeses, and breads into the mix as well.

not only mashed sweet potatoes, you can do that to lots of root vegetables, especially turnip

[Anonymous No.13461350]

>>13456616
boil spinach + salt in its own water till it reduces, add sour cream + ground pepper and crushed garlic a little bit before taking off the fire. This will turn into a sauce for your spinach. It's delicious.

You can also try sauteing the vegetables (add small amount of oil in pan, cook with lid on until it gets color, add a little water if necessary). This works great for mushrooms, broccoli, sliced carrots, parsnips, etc. I use half butter half sunflower oil for frying.

Slightly fried grated carrots and parsnips and celery make a good basis for a soup (add things that cook longer (like potatoes) earlier, and things that cook faster (like greens), near the end of the cooking process). Boiled root vegetables add a sort of sweetness to a soup. I like to boil pealed zucchini (seeds and all) in water, then add some sour cream, salt and pepper, and put it trough a blender to make a smooth cream soup.

Eggplants are great for spreads: https://www.chilipeppermadness.com/recipes/zacusca/

Beans, chickpeas and lentils are good but need to be soaked first then boiled for a long time. Use the boiled ones in soups or as basis for other recipes. I like lentils soup with some garlic.

[Anonymous No.13461395]

>>13461350
you can also make great lentil or bean salads

[Anonymous No.13461556]

• 2 chopped celery stalks
• 2 big kale leafs picked apart into bite-size pieces, the bitter kind with fractal folds on the edges
• 1 sliced carrot
• pot with enough water to almost submerge your vegetable pile
• salt
• big spoonful of oregano
• sliced ginger root, about as big as your thumb

Cover, bring to a boil then leave on a low simmer for a half hour or something

Looklà, some vegetable soup

I separated the broth into a coffee cup (which I drank, tasted good) and ate the cooked vegetables on their own with garam masala and garlic powder on top
