Things for to eat. And how to make them (Recipe thread!)

[SimuLord]

Someone in another thread about nuclear weapons said "can't we have a recipe thread or something?" Well, lo and behold...

Fox's Bachelor Chow (and I've been calling it that since before Futurama went on the air!)
1 lb ground pork
1/2 bag frozen or full can (drained) whole kernel sweet corn
A-1 Sauce or sauce of your choice to taste

Brown ground pork in skillet until fully cooked through. Add corn; cook corn in pan with pork until corn is hot. Add sauce (literally anything you like---I'm partial to A1 but you can use barbecue, teriyaki, whatever you like).

Dump the whole thing in a bowl (or multiple bowls, if a pound of pork is too much food for you). Eat. Rice makes an excellent side dish.

Fast Food Style Breakfast Bowl, But Better
- 1/2 lb Ground breakfast sausage, loose
- 3 Eggs
- Hash brown potatoes, either freshly grated or frozen

Brown sausage in skillet until fully cooked. Add eggs, scramble in the pan and cook firm. Hold aside. Fry potatoes in the sausage grease, adding butter if the eggs have soaked up too much of the fat during previous step (depending on the quality of sausage is whether this will happen or not.)

Put it all in a bowl. Add a pinch of salt and (if you're like my uncle, who prefers it this way) ketchup. Eat. Better than the breakfast bowl you get at fast-food places and cheaper besides.

For Discussion! OK, gourmands. Share your cooking experiences and favorite recipes!

Scrambled Pancakes:
They're made from the regular pancake recipe, just for people not coordinated enough to flip them properly. They're made the same as scrambled eggs.

The thread idea was mine. Thanks for making this thread. I didn't have the courage to do it myself.

Tortilla-biscuit-pancake-thing recipe I have scrawled on an index card:
2 cups flower
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup milk

Mix thoroughly, and roll into little balls about the size of a small golf ball.
Let sit in a bowl.
Now, roll all of the balls out flat and gently stack them on a plate.
Heat up a frying pan (small)
Put the slabs of dough onto the pan and cook until both sides are lightly browned.

Eat!

Warning: I don't take any responsibility for the validity of this recipe.
We were trying to make tortillas, failed miserably, and ended up with these things.

29, let's go!

 

[Melon Hunter]

Spicy Sausage Stew
-4 butcher's sausages
-4 rashers of back bacon
-2 potatoes
-Can/Tetra-Pak of chopped tomatoes
-1 small onion
-1 peeled clove of garlic
-1 drained can of beans (kidney or haricot work best)
-Tabasco
-Mixed, dried herbs

Chop the bacon into small squares, and chop the onion and crush and chop the garlic. Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin slices. Cook sausages in a frying pan until cooked through. Remove them and cut them in half, then place on a plate. Fry the bacon, onion, garlic and potato slices in the sausage fat. In the meantime, heat the chopped tomatoes and beans in a medium saucepan on a medium heat. When all the stuff in the frying pan is cooked, take it off the heat and empty into the saucepan, along with the sausages. Season the stew with Tabasco and the mixed herbs, and cover the saucepan. Simmer for 10 minutes. Serve in a bowl.

Try exchanging the potatoes and/or beans for rice or pasta!

I am terrible at cooking without recipies, and questionable when I follow them, so..

When I need to improvise food, I usually dive into the fridge and find what's there. A meal may follow the lines of:

Potatoes; fried and spiced
other vegetables; woked
Sausages or other meats; fried and spiced
eggs; scrambled or fried
bread with butter
cheese applied

Mash it all together and you'll be full, for sure.

There's also a delicious recipe for Vegan Shepherd's pie in Scott Pilgrim volume 2.
There aren't any specific proportions in the book, so you have to eyeball it.
Otherwise, it's pretty awesome.

Here's a recipe that I'm doing for my final exam in one of my courses.

Spoiler: Nutella Tart

You'll need: 1 fully baked nine inch tart shell

You can use a sugar cookie dough for the tart shell, and just Blind [http://www.wikihow.com/Blind-Bake] bake the crust at 350 F for about 18-20 minutes with the weights inside, an extra 3-5 minutes without the weights.

For the Filling

Ingredients:

About 2/3 cup Nutella

4 3/4 ounces bittersweet chocolate(finely Chopped)

7 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 large egg, at room temperature, stirred with a fork

3 large egg yolks, at room temperature, stirred with a fork

2 tablespoons sugar

1 cup of Hazelnuts, toasted, cut into large pieces.

Procedure:

1.Center a rack in the oven, and preheat it to 375 F.

2. Spread the Nutella evenly over the bottom of the crust, set aside while you make the ganache.

3. Melt the chocolate and butter in separate bowls in the microwave, let the bowls cool until they feel warm to the touch.

4. Using a rubber Spatula, stir the egg into the chocolate, stirring gently in ever widening circles. Don't agitate the mixture too much, you don't want any air in the mixture. Stir in the egg yolks a little at a time, then the sugar. Then, still working gently, stir in the butter. Pour the mixture into the tart shell and sprinkle the hazelnuts over the top.

5. Bake for 11 minutes, until the top is dull and the center will still move when jiggled.

srsly though

Spoiler: Brandy Snaps

Ingredients
-COOKIE
-1 stick Butter
-One half cups Molasses
-One quarter cups Sugar
-One quarter cups Brown Sugar
-1 Tablespoon Brandy
-Three quarters cups Flour
-One third teaspoons Salt
-One teaspoons Ground Ginger
-Filling
-2 cups Heavy Cream
-One third cups Sugar
-2 Tablespoons Brandy (more To Taste)
Preparation Instructions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with a baking mat or parchment paper.

To make the cookies/shells, melt butter in a skillet with molasses, sugar, and brown sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Allow to bubble and cook for one minute, then turn off heat.

Dump in flour, ginger, and salt. Stir together quickly until just combined, then stir in brandy.

Use a tablespoon to spoon mixture onto cookie sheet; do only eight cookies per sheet, as they will spread out in the oven.

Bake for 10 minutes, or until bubbling in the oven. Remove cookie sheet from oven and allow to cool on the pan for 2 to 3 minutes. Lift up circles one at a time and drape them over a cannoli mold (or a large metal handle of a whisk or potato masher!) The cookies will naturally drape over the mold; help it along by pressing the seal.

Slide cookies off the mold and set them on a cool plate. Repeat with remaining cookies. Be prepared to slightly reshape cookies as they cool. Fill with cream filling when completely cool.

FILLING

Combine cream, sugar, and brandy (make sure cream is very cold.) Place into a cold mixing bowl (chill ahead of time) and mix on high until cream is very stiff. Place cream into a pastry bag fitted with a large tip. Carefully fill cooled brandy snaps. Serve within a couple of hours.

OK, here's my favourite recipe:

You need a chicken breast fillet of about 400 ounces, and one bag (600 ounces) of frozen French fries.

Rub the chicken meat with any spice you fancy. I usually avoid pepper, as I like to use that on the fries. Curry powder, paprika powder and parsley (or other garden herb) both tastes and looks delicious. Alternatively, just marinate the fillet in soy sauce overnight!

Squirt some liquid margarine into a baking tray. (Or place three or four tablespoon-sized chunks of solid margarine in the tray, somewhat apart from each other.) Spread the fries evenly in the tray. Make room for the meat in the middle of the tray. Sprinkle the fries with olive oil, followed by any seasoning you feel like. (Personally, I recommend salt and pepper. You can't go wrong with the most classic combo of all time.)

Preheat the (electric!) oven to 200 degrees Celsius. (That's 392 Fahrenheit.)

Place the meat in the tray. Place the tray in the middle of the oven. Leave it there for one hour. The melting fat from the chicken fillet will make the fries extraordinarily crispy and incredibly tasty!

NOTES:

*I honestly have no idea why you should use margarine AND olive oil, but my dad always does that. He is REALLY smart, and wouldn't be doing so if it weren't an absolutely brilliant idea.

*If you use my first spice suggestion for the chicken, be sure to use LESS paprika powder than curry powder.

*This is one of those rare cases where margarine actually works better than butter. If you use butter, the taste can get nauseating.

Soren Alenko's Bitchin' Chicken
Needed:
-A working oven (no shit)
-A package of chicken legs
-A bottle of BBQ sauce (original or honey flavors work best)
-A pan large enough to hold all the legs

Steps:
1.) Place all the legs into the pan.
2.) Apply the BBQ sauce onto the legs. Use a spoon to better spread the sauce over the legs.
3.) Once you're satisfied with how the sauce is applied to the legs, stick into the oven. Set oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and cook for an hour.
4.) Once done cooking, take out, let cool and enjoy.

(note: I've never pre-heated the oven when I've made my chicken and it has always come out nicely cooked & juicy. So I wouldn't worry about it if I were you.)

And to think, I figured out how to make this when one day a long while back my mother decided to not make dinner and told me to make it when I had never made chicken before.

 

[Duck Sandwich]

Grilled Tortilla - Pretty simple, really. It's a tortilla stuffed with the holy trinity of sandwich filling: meat, cheese, and green leafy vegetables.

1 Pita (cut in half)
100g Slice of Ham (cut in half)
2 Tablespoons of Shredded Cheese
2 handfuls of Spinach

Preheat a George Foreman Grill for about 5 minutes. While it's pre-heating, cut open a pita and fill it with ham, cheese, and spinach. Once the pre-heating's done, put the pita in the grill, grilling for about 3 minutes each side.

Omelette Trinity Sandwich

4 Slices of Bread
2 Eggs
100g of Ham
2 Tablespoons of Shredded Cheese
a few handfuls of spinach
some non-stick cooking oil

Break eggs, mix in bowl. Get a pot and coat inside with non-stick cooking oil. Pour the eggs into the pot, sprinkle the cheese in, break pieces of meat and put it in the pot, then add spinach as desired. Get some bread toasting, then heat the pot at low to moderate heat (depending on your stove) and cover it. Heat it until you start to see steam rise from the pot. The omelette should be solid then (not dripping when you tilt the pot), but not overcooked. Put it between the toasted slices of bread and enjoy.

Banana Egg Peanut Butter Milkshake

1 Egg
1 cup of milk
1 Banana
2 Tablespoons of Peanut Butter
2 tablespoons of Vanilla Syrup

Put all this stuff in a blender and blend. Doesn't get much easier than that.

OT: Grilled fish sandwich. Fist fillet of choice, cheese and bread. Make in the form of a grilled cheese sandwich. Fishy profit!!!!!!

 

[LarenzoAOG]

Larenzo's favorite sandwich.

2 slices of rye bread, toasted

Liberal amounts of ham, turkey, pastrami, chicken, ham, ham, ham, salami, corned beef, and ham, thinnly sliced.

1 fried chicken breast patty

Crushed red pepper flakes

2 slices of pepper-jack cheese

1 slice of sharp aged cheddar

My special blend of herbs and spices (sea salt, ground peppercorn, all-spice, oregano, thyme, basil, not really special but it was all I had in the kitchen at the time)

Eat, sit down, feel guilty, go outside and run for a bit, still feel guilty, eat a salad.

Beside the guilt and self-loathing for eating something so good it was bad, still my favorite sandwich, and it goes to sho that the best things are invented at 3 A.M. when you have insomnia.
