/ck/ - Food & Cooking

[Anonymous No.3755242]

Hi /ck/
I'm a newly wed waifu. My mom taught me the basics of cooking, but until recently I've been living alone for so long that I sort of got out of the habit. I want my hubby to be healthy and happy, so I think the best way to keep him that way is to cook for him at home. Can you please share some of your tried and true recipes? Thanks!

I'd post a proper recipe, but I am dur lazy and intoxicated.

Take pork chops, debone.
Beat with mallet, or other suitable blunt object until about halved in thickness.
Sprinkle on salt and black pepper, to taste.
Dredge in wheat flour.
Dredge in beaten egg.
Dredge in bread crumbs.
Pan-fry 4 minutes per side at medium heat in a mix of olive oil and butter.

For sauce:
2 tablespoons of butter or oil.
2 tablespoons of wheat flour.
Mix on a skillet, on medium heat. Stir until the mix has darkened a little.
2 dl of water and a stock cube, or 2 dl of stock. Add. Stir well. Simmer for 5 minutes.
1 dl of cream. Add, stir well, bring to heat.
Taste, season further. If thickness needs adjusting, add more stock or flour. If adding flour, always simmer for another 5 minutes.

Serve with starch and vegetables of choice.

Oh, I failed to mention that I have a freezer full of beef from my parents' farm. I've got pork chops too, so this is perfect.

[Anonymous No.3755286]

>>3755278
Well, there's a famous Austrian recipe known as Wiener schnitzel, which is basically the same treatment given to a piece of beef. Any ol' cut of beef that's large enough to flatten to a single serving size should do, since it's not really fancy cuisine or anything. But it still ranks up a little from the pork cutlet.

The whole thing's actually a little mild in taste now that I think of it, so it might go well with something a little sharp in taste, maybe. Eh, I'm drunk and tired though, so I can't think of anything that complicated.

I LOVE green olives. And yes, really. You've got a lot of fat in the sauce already from the beef and pepperoni. You want some more acid, and it's not as sweet as the tomato, but it has that nice, sharp, nutty flavor.

If you've got a crockpot and a freezer full of beef, I'd suggest doing either beef tips and rice or beef stew. Both are fairly easy - brown beef in oil, stick in crockpot with a cup of water for 4-7 hours (veggies/spices and herbs/red wine if you're doing soup, onions if you're doing tips), then transfer to a pot and boil with a bit of cornstarch and water to thicken it up. But if you're going for more veggie-based recipes I'd stick with the stew.

Not everyone can be born with a winning hand, and all that.

[Anonymous No.3755384]

>>3755374
It's really easy, all you need to do is coat the beef in seasoned flour (salt/pepper/steak seasoning) and brown it in hot oil, then toss into the crockpot with a few cloves of minced garlic, 1 and 1/2 cups of beef broth, 1 chopped sweet onion, 4 sliced carrots, a stalk of chopped celery, whole mushrooms, a teaspoon of worcestershire sauce, a pinch of paprika, a bay leaf, and half a cup of good red wine (something you would enjoy drinking). Cook on low for about 8 hours, then check on the consistency. If it looks thin, add a tiny bit of cornstarch mixed with water and cook on high for an hour (checking and stirring regularly). Check for taste, you may need to add seasonings, but by that time the beef and the vegetables should be falling apart tender.

[Anonymous No.3755390]

>>3755361
ok, here you go.

This was my mother's recipe and still my favorite. it's pretty flexible too, so you can try changing the type of meat, adding vegetables (my mother adds mushrooms), adding sausage or peperonni, etc.

[Anonymous No.3755391]

>>3755384
This is almost the same as my mom's recipe, except she doesn't use red wine and she uses potatoes and onion soup mix. I think this actually looks better. I only need to pick up the worcestershire sauce. Nice to know I can do this in the crock pot before I go to work and have it to welcome me home. Plus the crock pot won't heat up the house like the stove top will.

I used to do that (because it is tasty and it looks like a waste) while everybody was talking about how much cholesterol and shit it have.

My favorite soup/stew to make:

Ingredients:

>2 tablespoons unsalted butter
>2 leeks, chopped up nicely
>2 big carrots, chopped up
>2 cloves of garlic, chopped fine
>1/2 cup of pearl barley
>2 cups of water
>12 oz can of evaporated milk
>2 turnips, chopped up
>1/2 cup of your favorite white wine
>1/4 tsp thyme leaves
>1/2 teaspoon crunched up saffron
>1 cup of heavy cream
>salt and pepper to your liking
>1 1/2 lbs of cod, cut up in chunks
>3/4 cup of clam meat
>1 cup of crab (you can use imitation if you'd like)

First, be sure to soak that barley for an hour before you start anything else

Place 1/2 lb of the cod in a pot with the 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, and boil for 10 minutes. Remove the fish and set aside for later. Keep your fishy goodness water (stock).

In a saucepan, melt the butter and saute leeks, carrots, and garlic over medium low. Cook until limp but not brown.

Add wine and bring to a boil. Once at a boil, reduce to medium low heat, and add that fishy water, along with the thyme, salt, pepper, barley, and turnips. Cook this until your turnips are nice and tender.


In another saucepan, heat the cream, then add the crushed saffron threads until you get that beautiful golden color. Stir this mixture along with the evaporated milk into the other pan (the one with the turnips!)

Add your fish, crabmeat, and clams and turn the heat to low. Cover this, and cook on medium low until fish is ready (around 7-10 minutes).

My husband was weirded out and unenthusiastic about the idea of Meatloaf but now he loves it. This is my moms/grandma's recipe.

I am a housewife that lurks here when I can. I get really good tips and my fam loves the food I cook with influences from all over the world from /ck/. I don't tend to post because I get a lot of backlash for being a married lady for some reason. This thread gives me hope though.

Here is a chicken recipe I like: Marinate several chicken breasts,overnight, in grapefruit juice or fat free italian dressing. preheat an oven to 375 degrees F, put the chicken breasts on a cookie sheet and sprinkle them with old bay seasoning on all sides. Bake for 45-60 minutes or until the chicken breast is cooked through ( I have to cut one open to check sometimes).
I cook brown rice and steam mixed vegetables to go with this.

if you have a meatloaf recipe, here's a scalloped potatoes recipe i always use...


Ingredients:

4 cups thinly sliced potatoes
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups milk
1 teaspoon salt
1 dash cayenne pepper
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup grated cheese, to sprinkle on top
paprika

Directions:

1. In a small sauce pan, melt butter and blend in flour.
2. Let sit for a minute.
3. Add all of cold milk, stirring with a whisk.
4. Season with salt and cayenne.
5. Cook sauce on low until smooth and boiling, stirring occasionally with a whisk.
6. Reduce heat and stir in cheese.
7. Place a half of the sliced potatoes in a lightly greased one quart casserole dish.
8. Pour half of cheese sauce over potatoes.
9. Repeat with second layer of potatoes and cheese sauce.
10. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
11. Top with some paprika for color.
12. Bake uncovered for about 1 hour at 350°F.

this is probably my favorite recipe for this dish. you could probably throw some bacon in there somewhere for some more taste bud titillation.
