I couldn't find a cooking recipes thread, so I thought I might start one.
I'm not a hardcore chef, but I am a food lover.
From time to time, I will actually take the effort to follow a recipe exactly.
Not a fan of using ovens, pots and pans are all I need.
A close follower Average Betty for fun and tasty recipes.
Otherwise, like a chemist, I just experiment a lot. Making soups is the easiest, add water and salt to a pot, then add whatever you want.
To start us off, I just made some salmon:
Salmon with spinach

This thread has a warm spot in my heart.

I shall grant you one recipe, you have three days to make your mind. Choose wisely.
Poll removed: You have chosen Pork Tenderloin.
It's one of the simplest and at the same time most time consuming dishes to prepare. I'll post the pictures and recipe later today.
Edit: Here it is!
+ Show Spoiler [ingredients] + - pork tenderloin braid(s) - oil - wine vinegar - dijon mustard - honey - salt & pepper - sweet paprika - cloves - juniper - garlic - onion
+ Show Spoiler [preparation] +Marinade: 1. Pour ~1/3rd standard glass of oil (standard glass is ~200ml) 2. Add 2 teaspoons of mustard and honey 3. Add a bit (teaspoon) of vinegar 4. Add spices (cloves, juniper, paprika, salt & pepper) - you can go crazy here Note: You'll probably have to grind cloves and juniper in a mortar first 5. Mix
Meat: 1. Salt & pepper it 2. Drop into a bowl, pour marinade all over it 3. Use your hands to rub marinade in (just like you'd be preparing the dough) 4. Leave it in the fridge for 24-48h (meat needs time to soak it in)
When you take it out of the fridge, it's going to look more or less like this:
+ Show Spoiler [cooking] + 1. Set oven to 200C 2. Slice up onion and garlic, add to meat and put it all into a heat-resistant glass 3. When oven heats up, put it in for 45 minutes 4. Done
When taken out of the oven:
Final result:
Enjoy the herbal scent ovveride and tender, juicy meat literally melting in your mouth and taking you to the land of bliss.

Pea soup please! I don't normally enjoy peas, but as a soup, it could be nice.
|
I think I might just do some of those options tomorrow and the day after that, with pictures and all.
|
Nice. That would be greatly appreciated, Manit0u.

Lemon zucchini.
Cut zucchini thin (1-2 mm), cook in hot pan and butter, put only one layer of zucchini, get a nice golden coloration, add lemon. Repeat until all zucchini is cooked.
Spice it up with little garlic and ginger.
Goes perfect with fish, lamb

I can make a cheap spaghetti sauce and chicken stir-fry that's pretty much it lol. If anyone desires my staple University recipes I can post them. Hopefully some good recipes will come out of this thread, I could really use some more!

Mussels in white wine sauce is one of my favourites. It's one of the easiest dishes ever but impresses the hell out of people who don't know that.
Take about a pound of mussels and clean them. This means soak them in cold water for a while, toss out any that aren't completely shut, pull off the stringy bits and wipe them with a paper towel. This is actually the hardest part of the recipe.
Melt some butter in a big pan (the kind you'd use for a big stir fry). Sautee some garlic and shallots (or onions) until the shallots go clear. Pour in about a glass of white wine. Add the mussels and put the lid on. You want to cook them for about 8 minutes until they're all open.
Take the mussels out and put them on your serving plate. How much effort you put in here depends on how much you want to impress people, since it's going to taste the same no matter what. You can discard the half of the shells with no meat or just pop them wide open. While you're doing this let the sauce left in your pan boil down. Pour the sauce over everything and garnish the mussels if you're feeling tryhard.

My mother is Italian so I picked up on a few things. Pasta, sauces, fish. Simplest one is pasta with garlic, olive oil, a bit of oregano, and some fresh cracked black pepper. Nothing else.
I really shouldn't need to make a recipe. Literally the hardest thing is cooking perfect pasta.

Oh noes, pork is winning. I'm a vegetarian.

Lettuce, tomatoes, radish, cucumber, red onion: cut into pieces and throw into a bowl. Get some yellow cheese and slice it up like macaroni, add it up. Sauce: sour cream, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, basil, fresh dill.
For non-vegetarians you can add fried chicken bits to the mix.
Simple and tasty ^_^

Steamed Yellow Croaker
Buy Fresh Yellow Croakers, preferably live If live kill it. Preferably with a SINGLE blunt blow (or else you ruin the meat texture) then descale If not descale it. ONE Fine cut along the gut, remove all organs. (they are edible just not very good imo) Steam the fish over a bed of scallions. Served with soy sauce.
