That looks really good, but I am cooking for kids and they don't eat tunafish sandwich and it's difficult to get them to eat anything that isn't the most basic food.

I'm wondering if I can't make a weird version of shepherds pie.

Same type of recipe, just vary that up - throw cheese in there or whatever else. Kids'll eat dat poo poo up and it's really quick to make.

In advance, salting them 1+hour before cooking is ideal. I like doing it 12 hours before and letting it rest on a rack in the fridge.

What's a good way to get salt (regular sea salt) to stick to dry almosts/cashews/nuts? I picked up some trail mix to snack on during work and added some extra nuts and dark chocolate to it and while it's good it is really lacking salt. I thought about spraying everything with a little bit of cooking spray then adding salt as needed but I'm worried this will leave everything greasy.

You'd need to powder the salt. Blend it or something to get it as fine as possible; maybe roast the nuts for a bit to draw out their own oils or don't roast it and add like, half a teaspoon of oil to the nuts (or give them a quick rub with a damp papertowel [or hold the nuts in a strainer over a bowl of steaming water and get that steam up into the nuts]) and then shake them with the superfine salt.

I just inherited a relatively new (2-3 years old maybe, hardly used) Cuisinart electric pressure cooker. It has the little instruction booklet etc, but other than that I am a complete newbie at this and have not the faintest idea what to do with it. Personally, I have never even used one before.

This seems to be the same model, or at least pretty close... http://smile.amazon.com/Cuisinart-C...and+Matte+Black

I was told it was bought from Costco if that helps any.

Any recommendations on good trusted cookbooks or websites to get info on learning to make the most of it? I did some preliminary searching, but seems a lot of the recipes out there are for the standard stove top one and not electric.

I want to try making broccoli soup, and found this basic recipe: http://www.marthastewart.com/1050577/broccoli-spinach-soup-avocado-toasts

However, I don't have any tahini. A google search says peanut butter is a good substitute?

If you have a better recipe for broccoli soup that would be awesome too.

Oh yeah. I DID link it because it's something I like. It's really super loving simple, and since I love broccoli I think it, as it is, is delicious. Having a little strong cheese melt in it is a nice plus, as well. Having a broccoli/french onion soup hybrid is also delicious as gently caress.

I have heard the holy grail for chicken stock is chicken feet. Anyone actually tried this? I haven't yet because the only place you can get them is the Asian market and they are marked up accordingly.

Depends on where you live. The big one here is just as expensive as any other grocery store for meat.

Yeah fish prices are good, short ribs, duck, chicken wings aren't cheaper. They are slightly cheaper on pork belly but that's because none of the white people grocery stores even sell it so you have to go to a fancier place.

asian markets here are generally pretty cheap though as mentioned some specialty items can be pricey. Oxtails are generally better priced at asian markets than other markets, typically 3.99/lb which is still hilariously expensive compared to what I used to be able to get them for before this whole "foodie" movement started. Vegetables are my favorite things to get at asian markets. gailan, bok choy, choy sum, garlic chives, nappa, etc, are typically $0.39/lb and are super awesome. Ginger is like 0.99 for a 1 lb bag.

Anyway to answer original question, chicken feet owns in stock. It adds a ton of gelatin to the stock and at least here, is super cheap, usually about $0.69/lb

I actually made this instead and it was really loving good, so thanks!

The only goat cheese I had on hand was from my CSA and was flavored with lemon and lavender. It was way too sweet to add to the soup. I tried parmesan instead, which was a bad call.

And how did I not realize before that the best way to cut broccoli is with the head down and stalk up? It's so obvious now.

Chop off all the florets from the main stem in one cut, chop florets, discard stem.

Not saying it's right/good/practical, just something I could see people doing.

What do you guys put on your roasted broccoli? I've been doing cumin, lemon juice, red pepper flake, s&p, olive oil, and a little cayenne. The sprinkle on parm after I take it out of the oven. But I'm ready for a change.

I like it tossed in browned butter with some grated hard cheese like parm or mizythra.

Also great with some soy, sesame oil, and togarashi.

Cook it less. Internal temp of 145. I'm guessing yours got up to 160 or more.

edit: They should be a little pink inside. This is OK. Even the FDA has come around on this one.

temping around the bone is pretty error prone. The bone messes with the heat conduction through the meat which is why they say when using a thermometer to avoid touching the bone. I wouldn't use pink near the bone as an indication of the temperature of the rest of the meat. And 145 F is still pink fwiw.

Oh, poo poo, ok.

I don't have a thermometer, so I just kind of eyeballed it. The cuts are a bit on the thin side though, so I don't think I could have temped them even if I wanted too.

I think I'm going to try again tonight with less heat and a shorter cook time.

In that case, buy thicker cuts. Thin pork chops are really hard to cook well properly.

Olive oil, cayenne, paprika, salt, pepper, (I get that this is a boring array) and minced garlic. If the minced garlic is partially embedded in the florets it gets to a nice level of browning at the same time the broccoli is done; doesn't work as well on the stem pieces, can easily burn.
