My tian I made today
Post your dinners

[Anonymous No.19508967]

That looks delightful OP, nicely done. Today I made some whole wheat penne with a simple cherry tomato sauce, typical weeknight meal for me. The sauce is EVOO, garlic, shallot, small onion, chili flakes, cherry tomatoes, can of Italian peeled tomatoes (crushed by hand), basil, and parsley. Rustic and full of good fresh veggies (and fruits if you want to be pedantic).

Very nice, I'd want some romano or parmesan grated on top but sounds/looks very good.

Same, unfortunately I live in Thailand and good Italian cheese is expensive as fuuuuck out here. I save that for the really special dishes like a Sunday Bolognese ragu.

Maybe it's an acquired taste, but lately I just prefer whole wheat pasta. It's chewier (my favorite texture), a bit more flavorful, and I find it more satisfying. Just cook it properly, tossing to combine with sauce in the skillet during the last few minutes of cooking so it absorbs the sauce, it won't taste like cardboard if you do it right. Plus I eat pasta almost every day, so I it pays off to go with something a little bit healthier.

that's the problem, it's NOT healthier. and if you want more chewy noodles just use the egg noodle

It's the same dish, but it's called a tian, but it uses the same vegetables as a ratatouille stew.

What do you think of my lamb shoulder with caprese?
Not tonight's dinner but still

[Anonymous No.19509100]

>>19509006

Literally every single dietitian and nutritionist agrees that whole grains are better than refined, wtf are you smoking. I swear people just want to be contrarian faggots to feel special for no reason these days.

>Lower glycemic index
>More fiber
>Keeps you full for longer

Is it a massive upgrade over white pasta? No. But if you eat a lot of pasta even a small, marginal improvement is a good thing.

[Anonymous No.19509105]

>>19509090

Looks good, but is there any dressing/seasoning on that caprese? Needs olive oil, salt, and pepper at minimum, ideally a drizzle of balsamic too but that's optional.

[Anonymous No.19509106]

>>19509090
it's a 4/10
your tomatoes are cut too thick, no balsamico, no olio d'Oliva, no pepper, the lamb was pulled too quickly from the pan before being finished, garlic is nice but that is TOO MUCH GARLIC for that amount of lamb.
I show you recipe:

If you like, just put the basils with the pomodori but really the pesto takes care of it.

Woah, the anti-science faggot is just throwing out random conspiracy shit now because it has no argument, how novel. Why would you listen to a dietitian about vaccines anyway? It's not their area of expertise, and they're not the ones responsible for communicating with the public about vaccines.

[Anonymous No.19509128]

>>19509108

You don't even need to "listen to the experts," you can just go read the studies yourself and compare nutritional data to arrive at an evidence-based understanding of how different foods affect the body. How is it possible that the exact same product, with a bit more fiber but otherwise basically the same, wouldn't be better? We know fiber is important to our health, especially digestion, and most people on standard western diets don't get enough of it.

i made picatta this night with lemongrass and saffron rice and a butter/cream cheese/wine sauce. i am making lamb korma tommorow

[Anonymous No.19509206]

>>19509176
Time and patience, cut everything and then set into rows and just grab one from each row making a stack and set it in pan with sauce. Spread it out a bit and coil it, just takes time is all.
Then baking I bake it at 375 covered for 40 min and then 20 min uncovered. Covering keeps anything from charring and the uncovered stops it from being too soggy. And basil always looks nice
>>19509184
I noticed most recipes don't include basil as part of the stack, I really enjoy the fragrance and taste of fresh basil and I feel oil and vinegar kinda detract from it. Fresh tomato, mozzarella and basil just compliment each other so well there no need for anymore imo.
Try it sometime.

It’s not an all the time thing for me but sometimes I crave the taste and texture of whole wheat pasta, so I can see where you’re coming from.

Uh huh.

>>19509150

Okay so if you're scientifically illiterate and can't read a research paper, go find actual experts (RDNs, RDs, MD-PhDs) and see what they say. Oh look, every credible nutrition scientist and clinical dietitian is saying whole grains are better for you, even if they disagree on many other things. Wow! Gee whiz! Must be a conspiracy by Big Whole Wheat?

Listen, I understand it's hard to find quality science-based nutritional advice these days, most people online are doing clickbait shit and/or trying to sell you some fad nonsense. But it is really not that hard to go on Google Scholar or Pubmed, find a peer-reviewed meta-analysis of whatever you're curious about, and read the abstract to get an overview of relevant research on that topic.

>vegangoyslop

it's literally just tasty pasta anon. I eat eggs for breakfast and deenz for lunch, I get plenty of protein in a typical day. For dinner I want something easy, quick, and satisfying. Usually that means a nice pasta dish, with or without meat depending on what I have/want.

Human life expectancy is also declining in the USA anon, it's still important to take care of your health. I would rather eat healthy and not take statins/ozempic/other drugs to stay alive.

[Anonymous No.19509260]

>Anchovy pasta sauce

My man. Nothing better than a good aglio e olio with some chili flakes, anchovies, and parsley to punch it up. Anchovies just melt into the olive oil and give such an incredible umami flavor. It's a shame so many people are afraid of them.

[Anonymous No.19509275]

>>19509260
It's an American thing, 95% of everyone just buys their shit precut at a supermarket, I love eating sardines out the can but I used to live with some Filipinos that had me try some dried shit in a bag, fish head eyes, brain, organs everything still intact. I still ate them because I didn't want to be rude but god damn. That shit is super unnerving.

[Anonymous No.19509313]

>>19509275

Aw man you haven't lived until you've had whole fried smelts with a spicy mayo or red vinegar dip. Tiny crunchy whole fish are the best. Filipinos have their flaws, but they know their shit when it comes to food.

[Anonymous No.19509328]

>>19509260
Aye, it was a game changer for my sauce, that and adding a splash of vinegar at the end.
As long as I'm not cooking for people that don't eat fish, I don't tell anyone about the anchovies, as you say they just melt completely and you'd never know they were there. It's my secret weapon since everyone "hates" anchovies and would never think to use them.
Hell I like them as a pizza topping, I don't think I could eat them alone though, maybe on some buttered bread but that might be too salty.

[Anonymous No.19509333]

>>19509313
I'd eat it, I've heard of smelts, haven't had them. It's a euro thing no? One of my Swedish friends is the only person I know that eats smoked fish other than me, he's mentioned smelt before but I don't think I've seen it in the states.

Do you understand what the peer review process is supposed to achieve? If a paper says absolutely nothing valuable at all, it won't be published by a major journal. Of course that doesn't mean every paper in a major journal is correct, but every one of them is making some kind of significant claim (we performed X test and observed Y result). Then you can evaluate the evidence as a whole and come to your own conclusions. Christ, what is with you people. There are so many valuable studies ranging from randomized controlled trials to epidemiological studies that have advanced our understanding of nutrition and human health. Do you just straight up not believe in the scientific method?
