Anyone have a go-to beef stew recipe? Ideally it would: involve barley, utilize some good dark beer I have hanging about, go in a crock pot or dutch oven in the oven (hoping to be able to run around the house doing other stuff while it cooks) have mushrooms? It will preferably not: use celery (it's a fine veg, I just think it's weird in stews) I used to use the Cooks Illustrated one that involved browning tomato paste and not browning the meat, but their recipes are behind a paywall that requires a six-month subscription and gently caress all that noise.

Any idea where an American gets beef shin? I just called around to my two regular butchers and neither of them offer shin, though one of them suggested that I could sub osso busco, which sounds like a pretty expensive stew...

Shin is shank, which I've found in normal supermarkets. Same cut as is used for Ossobucso, only from cow rather than calf.

Anybody have something interesting to do with kohlrabi? I get them from my CSA all the time and I basically just roast or mash them up as Generic Cruciferous Vegetable. Do they have a more creative application in some recipe you enjoy? And yes, we already pickle goddamn everything.

truffle mash, truffle mayo, truffle mac n chz. Be very sparing with the stuff, if it's decent quality oil, it'll be strong. If there aren't truffle flakes in the bottle then it's probably "naturally flavored" truffle oil, which is actually a petroleum derivative. Re: kohlrabi. Roast in wedges, toss in parm, chili flake, garlic powder and parsley. e: muissed where you said you roast it, you can shave it thin and add to an arugula salad with blue chz and an apple/walnut dressing or something.

I've never made a marinade before but I would like to try making some tonight to make pork chops with. So far I've googled up a few recipes and it's pretty simple but I thought I would run it by goons to see if there's anything wrong or anything I could be doing different. For some bone in pork chops the plan is: -Season with salt and pepper -Place in bag with some rosemary and half a bay leaf -Pour in beer. I'm planning on using this brown ale since it's cheap but I'm worried it might be too dark for a marinade. Should be fine though. -Squeeze air out of bag -Place in fridge for an hour -Pan fry like usual Edit: also I can't think of a good side. Maybe some oven roasted red potatoes?

Some of the leaves are 2 inches long, others but an inch. The size of a bay leaf varies so much that Half a Bay Leaf is a ridiculous quantity to give. As it is a marinade takes roughly 24 hours to penetrate a millimeter of meat. I think they're pretty worthless and reckon your time would be better spent making a pan sauce while the meat rests. As for sides, what do you want them to do? add crunch, soak up gravy, be sweet or herby? Parsnip would be good as it's sweet, which works with pork, and can soak stuff up. Pretty well every regular poster will recommend roasting or frying Brussel Sprouts until they're charred and crispy.

kohlrabi is great raw when the bulbs are small/young. I like them in a salad (julienne) or with a dip as a snack. That Works posted:I got an 8oz bottle of black truffle / olive oil as a gift. I bought a bottle of truffle oil myself to make a homeversion of a lunch I had in a restaurant: they used it (sparingly like was said before...do give it a taste before adding loads) in their homemade hummus, Then they put that on a fresh baguette and topped it with grilled veggies (sweet pointed peppers, aubergine, courgette, onions).

I don't usually give enough of a poo poo to be super precise but alright I'll get out my calipers and an x-acto knife for it to get 0.750"L x 0.250"W x 0.001"D worth of bay leaf. The cursory google said an hour would be fine but that's why I came here to ask. Do you have any good resources for how to make a pan sauce? For sides some roasted brussel sprouts or asparagus sounds good.

To me wine or stock might be a better liquid to use in a pan sauce as opposed to beer but YMMV. Adding in the bay and rosemary while making the pan sauce will do a lot more towards getting that flavor into the dish as opposed to just a marinade.

Spanish Manlove posted:The cursory google said an hour would be fine but that's why I came here to ask. To be fair, due to how little marinades actually penetrate the meat, an hour is as good as 24 hours. Either way, most of the flavor you're getting is from marinade stuck to the outside of the meat and in all the little cracks and crevices. A longer marinade will get more salt in your meat, but not appreciable flavor. A sauce, on the other hand, gives you all the flavor you want with the added bonus of covering minor overcooking should it happen.

I reckon that if the sauce is good and nutty it should pair well with the pork. Every beer pan sauce I remember seeing adds brown sugar. I think that's to guard against it getting too bitter as well as a splash of sweetness. I'd keep tasting for that as the sauce reduces, more so than with wine.

I worry about bitterness when reducing beer but a little sugar / maybe some citrus might be just the thing

I figured maltier, sweeter beers without a lot of bitterness would be better for marinades, and now reductions, for just that reason. Got it, I'll be on my guard taste testing it.

Trip report! I made some roasted asparagus on the side by chopping up a garlic clove as fine as I could reasonably get, sprinkled that on some asparagus, drizzled some olive oil on it and added a pinch of salt and pepper. Ten minutes at 350. Those came out well, going to repeat that again as a side since it was like a whole dollar for too much asparagus. The pan sauce came out decent but I just sorta winged it. I spooned the garlic from the asparagus off the roasting pan which ended up being half a teaspoon worth which was too much. Also since this was my first time making a roux I didn't know how to add the flour right, nor do I have a whisk, so even with some panic whisking with a fork to try to get the globs of flour to dissolve I couldn't get all of them out. But otherwise it eventually got to a consistency that I thought was right and the brown ale came out just right without being too bitter. Next time I'll add the flour in slower and maybe add in brown sugar (which I don't have). Thanks guys, just wanted to let you know how it turned out.

How much salt/seasoning should I put in per cup of flour for pre-battering fried fish? I know I need to season the base, I'm just unclear on how much I should put on there because whenever I do add it, it seems underseasoned and I'm not keen on oversalting/seasoning and ruining it.

Spanish Manlove posted:Trip report! Roast asparagus is a drat good dish. Love it with a poached egg and some bacon for breakfast. I've faced those gobbets of flour before. I'd fish them out or strain the sauce rather than strain myself whisking more. Nowadays for a pan sauce I'll have a little Buerre Mani on standby just in case.

Roux is stable at room temp, just make a pint or so and keep it in a cupboard. Or keep corn starch around.

Heaps of versions and recipes out there for it. e: http://www.grouprecipes.com/9185/balsamic-roasted-beetroot-with-garlic-and-thyme.html/print is the one I use, though I skip the butter and add more whole cloves of garlic and wrap the whole lot in foil to bake. Sometimes also serve beets with chickpeas, couscous and grilled vegetables with either a yogurt dressing (flavoured with cumin, lemon and mint or coriander) or some feta cheese.

Funny website. I base my decisions on what's in season, on sale, what I like/think I would like, what herb I have that hasn't died and is there lemons on my tree, what starch (pasta, rice or potato/squash). Then I google for some combo and pick up max 2 extra items from a found recipe if need be from the 24hr supermarket around the corner.
