I don't believe in anything with the word epic in it. Now, what kind of black bean recipe are you talking? Soup? Heavy beans for having over rice? A hummus like creation for spreading on things?

I'm just looking for really really really good. We are having Mexican-ish potluck here at work tomorrow. I'm amenable to either soup style or slightly thicker, either way it's going into the crock pot tonight to cook (who needs a soak!) on low all night, then stay on low tomorrow at work 'til lunch at noon.

Put a bunch of beans and vegetables and spices into the crock pot. Then maybe some lime juice at the very end. Don't forget salt.

I usually do this, Heck if im crazy i'll dry roast them in my cast iron skillet first, but was seeing if anyone had some secret ingredient tricks (I usually check my copy of the Flavor Bible before mixing too many in).

If I were making a thing with beans to bring to a Mexican potluck at work, I wouldn't bring black beans - I would bring peruanos or maybe pintos. But if you insist on black beans, yes, you must indeed soak them first for at least 8 hours. Then drain, and add to a crock pot to which you have already added: Onion (lots of), chopped up and sauteed in lard Garlic (not too much of), handled as above Several pasilla chiles, stems removed (don't bother soaking first. Well, you can, but if you do make sure you put the soak water in the pot) Cumin (lots of), ground fine Oregano (lots of), bruised Add water to cover, and cook all night. In the morning, rip up the chiles to little bits, and mash about half the beans to a good creamy consistancy. To serve, salt the beans, make sure you have crema (this is not the same as sour cream), limes (key limes preferred), and epazote leaves if you can get them (if not make sure you at least have plenty of cilantro, but it's not at all like having epazote.) NOW IF I WERE SERVING BLACK BEANS OVER RICE I would do it with a different set of seasonings, looking more towards the Carribean where black beans are more common. In which case, I would still soak the beans, drain, add to the crockpot and then add: Onion (lots of), chopped up and sauteed in the fat of your choice Garlic (a whole lot of, like way way more than you think you'd want), treated as above A bunch of fresh chiles. Habaneros would be best, but you could also make do with serranos or thai bird chiles or something like that. These should also be sauteed a bit. Cumin (lots of), ground fine Allspice (not as much as of the cumin), ground fine Black pepper (plenty of), ground fine Thyme (several sprigs) Some shredded coconut (a good handful or two) (NOT THE CRAPPY STUFF YOU MAKE CAKES WITH) A mango or some papaya or something, peeled and chopped Cover with water, but the whole business on low for a night or a day or whatever, and serve the next day with lots of rice and some greens and maybe fried fish or fried plantains or yuca and plenty of beer. Make sure you salt the beans before serving. Nobody likes beans without salt.

EVG posted:Nothing? Were there any other flavours in there? Any spices? The simplest one, which would still be good, would be to dice and peel the sweet potato (or vice versa), coat lightly in oil, and roast at around 170C until tender and just starting to brown. (You don't really want them browned as they then won't blend smoothly). Meanwhile, chop and onion or two and sweat gently in a pan with some butter or olive oil. Once the potatoes are done and the onions are meltingly soft and sweet, add potatoes to onions, cover with stock, and blitz with an immersion blender (or place in a blender) until smooth. Season. Serve with cream, creme fraiche or yoghurt. If you like the stuff, coriander is probably a good garnish too. If you are feeling more adventurous, good additions include grated ginger cooked with the onions; red lentils; peanut butter; coconut milk; and/or a pinch of chili or cayenne. All of them is good too!

The chipotle will make them taste like chipotle, and you'll miss the nuance of the other flavors. It would be better to make a salsa with the chipotle to serve on the side, to measure in bit by bit. You can use fresh chiles but you'll be missing some depth of flavor. It will by no means be a bad tasting dish, though.

Is there a steak thread? I usually cook mine extremely quickly on the stove in a cast iron pan, but someone recommended a slower way that involved butter in one of the previous versions of this thread--I'm thinking about trying it now, because I have some nice grass-fed steak and organic butter. But I can't find any recipes about this method.

That steak thread is gone so thankfully you have not been guided toward the land of overcooked, underbrowned steaks. The method you want is the one described by Alain Ducasse in this article: http://www.nytimes.com/2002/02/27/dining/the-chef-steak-with-style-easy-does-it.html?pagewanted=all&src=pm It does not involve merely cooking the steak in butter, you add butter to baste the steak later on. The main idea behind the cooking method is not the butter but the temperature and time. It involves cooking the steak for a longer time at a lower temperature. It does take some finesse and familiarity with your stove because if you cook it at too high a temp, you'll overcook the steak, if you go too low the steak will not properly brown. No matter how nice the quality of your meat is, the quantity is very important for this method. It has to be a very thick steak, 1.5" thick at minimum, 2 would be better. So read that article closely and don't attempt it if your steak is too thin.

therattle posted:Were there any other flavours in there? Any spices? It was a special and I couldn't make out any specific flavours other than the sweet potato and the cream, but it was oh so good. I'll try it this way with some ginger and coriander, I have both at home. I roasted the potatoes last night and made homemade stock, but then was tired and stuck it in the fridge to finish later. The taters were just shy of browned but are very soft, so hopefully they will blend ok. I love my stick blender.

Mr. Wiggles posted:Soak the beans. Making due with what i got, I'm roasting the chilies and garlic in the oven at ~425ish for 30 minutes, using olive oil (not EV) to cook the veggies, (i work with some non pork eaters so no lard ) then i'll toast the cumin, grind it, and add to the crock pot. o poo poo I need to start the quick soak on the beans.

But I can't find any recipes about this method. You can throw butter in at the last minute. Don't open with butter because it will just burn really badly, and any heat that won't burn butter is not going to cook a steak.

MR BIG CHEESE SIR What's a generic Korean sauce I can make for a stir fry consisting of thin-sliced pork and bean sprouts? I have Korean chili paste (gochujang) and soy sauce (ganjang). I also have ginger, garlic, mirin, and sesame oil. Also, how can I keep my bean sprouts from losing all their water and making everything soggy and not stir-fry-like?

If you shred it, it'll be almost mush.

Quick question, how long can I keep dough in the fridge before it goes bad? I've wrapped some up in plastic wrap yesterday, don't think I'll be using it tonight. If it would go bad by tomorrow though I'll go ahead and use it.

tarepanda posted:MR BIG CHEESE SIR It depends on what kind of korean you're looking for. If I'm doing something on the sweeter side, I'll go heavy on soy sauce, sweet (like apple juice or mirin I guess), garlic, and just a small amount of doenjang and gochujang. If I'm going for generic delicious firey, I like a lot of gochujang and doenjang, and just a little bit of soy and mirin to thin out the paste. Like, I never measure, but if I'm cooking a 1/2 pound of beef or pork, I'd do like 2tbl of gochujang and doenjang, a couple cloves of garlic, a spoon of minced ginger, and like a tablespoon of apple juice. If you have mirin, I'd go about the same. For bean sprouts, I like to blanch and dry the sprouts first, then add to a stir fry right at the end. Edit: You should really get some doenjang. Fermented bean paste is the underlying flavor of korean meats imo.

Yesterday I cooked some black beans with the intent of making a black bean and corn salad thingy with them today. I cooked them for 20 minutes in the pressure cooker at full pressure. I did not presoak. Was the pressure cooking sufficient or am I going to give my family stomach problems because I didn't soak them? The Internet has been giving me mixed answers.

I'm looking for a good bolognese recipe, the kind where you're cooking a pork shoulder for hours. All the stuff I looked up was ground meat but I swear pork shoulder bolognese is a thing.tarepanda posted:MR BIG CHEESE SIR Generic, hm. Typically it's going to be sweet. You might try a jeyuk sauce for that stir fry, it's one of my favorite pork preparations here. This is the recipe I used last. 5 tb gochujang 3 tb soy 1 tb gochugaru 1 tb (apple) vinegar 1 tb sesame oil 1 tb ginger 4 garlic cloves 3? tb pear or apple juice You could forgo the gochugaru, I didn't have any. I just squirted sriracha in until it was hot enough. For the bean sprouts I always add them right at the end. I barely cook them at all. tarepanda posted:nggh, I hoped I'd gotten all of the staples in one go. Yeah it's basically the same thing. I've never seen it used in a meat sauce though, it's mostly eaten as a condiment in the form of ssamjang or as part of some soups like doenjang jjigae. Could be a regional thing, I live in the southeast corner of the country. Ssamjang is virtually always on the table at a barbecue restaurant but it's not part of something like a stir fry. You include it in the lettuce wrap. For your Korean pantry staples, I'd have: gochujang, ssamjang, doenjang, ganjang, gochugaru, sesame oil, vinegar. Koreans use a lot of sugar and corn syrup but I tend to leave that out, that's a personal taste thing. Sriracha complements Korean flavors well and lets you add more heat without ending up with overwhelming gochujang flavor. Fish sauce is also used occasionally, Squid brand is common here. And ginger/garlic/kimchi should be around in your more perishable supplies. Korean soups also frequently use Korean dashi, which is made with kombu and dried anchovies instead of katsuobushi. You can probably substitute Japanese dashi no problem.
