For Gosht's Sake
Jan. 26th, 2025 11:24 amThis week's Resolution Recipe: Pudina Gosht (Minty Lamb Curry).
"I've made this curry on the stove, but the stovetop version doesn't compare to how flavorful this dish becomes when cooked in the CultPot. The mint and spices get locked into the meat under pressure, resulting in a simply delicious curry with melt-in-your-mouth lamb."
( (No, *you're* a tool.) )

To make cervellata. He who wants to make a sausage, take bread crumbs and grated cheese and eggs and spices, and put it in a gut, and get a needle and pierce it, and make it boil and cook in water, and then roast it in among the bread, if you like that. (Due Libre B, early 15th c.)( Read more... )

Flaking Responsibly
Aug. 11th, 2024 10:10 amThis week's Resolution Recipe: Shortcake Biscuits.
"Like many overachievers, for too long I clung to the belief that the hard way is the best way. Twaddle. These biscuits are the opposite of fussy - no cutting in of butter, no painstaking flouring and folding. Since the fat in cream and butter is essentially the same, the full flavor remains.
"Despite the recipe's simplicity, the results are tender, flaky, and rich. No one need know you took the easy way out. This streamlined style is known as a cream biscuit, a cousin of the scone and the shortcake."

"Bollito misto is a boiled meat dish like Pot au Feu, but Italian rather than Fronch. We've streamlined it. Don't eat the vegetables after cooking. They've added all their flavor to the savory broth that's served with the meat." (Emphasis added)
