Baked tofu, chickpea, and spinach curry.

Really tofu two ways, as part of my block didn't press out well enough to hold up to being tossed, so I minced it and stirred it in with the chickpeas.

Can I get a recipe for this? always looking for new vegan meals for :siren:MY WIFE:siren:

It is pretty lazy, since I was cooking at 6am and also made egg salad, tuna salad, and shrimp and sausage jambalaya for lunches at the same time.

1 12oz block of extra firm tofu, pressed under a plate and a weight for half an hour to firm it up further, then cubed. Tossed with 1 TB olive oil followed by 1 TB cornstarch and salt/pepper/garlic powder. Arrange on a baking sheet, bake at 400 degrees for 15m, flip the cubes, then 15m more.

While that's baking, mince an onion, and toss it in a large saucepan to fry with a bit more oil. Once the onions start to turn translucent, add a clove or so of minced garlic and a drained and rinsed can of chickpeas. Salt, pepper, red pepper, and garam masala. Fry for another minute or two, then dump in a jar of vindaloo sauce, put the lid on, and reduce to simmer.

Simmer 15m, then add the tofu and a couple good handfuls of spinach leaves, then put the lid back on until the spinach wilts, and serve over rice.

This case of an intraperitoneal zucchini is unusual, and does raise questions as to how hard one has to push a blunt vegetable to perforate the rectum.
Even the (ex)professional cook cheats and uses doctored up jar curry. I am vindicated. Yusss!

E: also I'm totally making that sometime, sounds ballin'. I might add some mushrooms instead of the tofu because my family dislikes tofu. I might tell em to shove it, time will tell.

I use a lot of jarred curries because I can't be arsed and they're delicious. Tried doing that cracked coconut method on Sunday before adding a healthy amount of madras curry, garlic, and ginger and holy hell I was not expecting it to make that big of a difference. The coconut flavor shined through way more than any time we've made it previously, so thanks to whoever suggested that!

Shocking, right? I can tell if Thai restaurants do that by tasting the food, and I find it makes a huge difference. Five steps to an amazing curry. You'll never forget them.

A couple of my friends are in Japan this week posting all their delicious food, and I woke up this morning to the smell of a neighbor making curry so I had to do this curry rice tonight.



First new thing I've cooked in a while so I wanted to share. Definitely going in the rotation.

Weekend activities:

Mussels and sourdough:








Burgers:










I probably should have swapped days as it was 65 and sunny for the mussels to be had outside, and then turned around to me grilling in the rain for burgers that had to be eaten inside. But goddammit I wanted a burger.

Mussels were just steamed over a pot of onion, garlic, parsley, butter, wine, tomato, and some heavy cream. We saved a third of the mussels to throw into the leftover sauce and puree it, makes a nice fishy sauce I'll throw on tortellini or something as an easy dinner later. Sourdough was slightly under proofed but i ran out of time and the starter was chilled - think in the future I'll take it out of the fridge the day before i want to use it, give it a fresh feeding, and leave it on the counter overnight. Make sure that I don't have to extend rises too long. Tasted fine but the crumb wasn't as pretty as it could have been.

Burgers were a sirloin, chuck, brisket blend with salt, pepper, and worchestershire. Bun > burger sauce > patty > cheddar > bacon jam > tomato > lettuce > bun glazed with butter and everything bagel mix.

e; (the burger cross section was my 2nd, and it was the smallest burger on the biggest bun, but you get the idea)

I would make onigiri/sushi all the drat time if I could ever get the seasoning right. It always ends up being way too sugary or way too vinegary.

Onigiri is usually plain unsalted / unseasoned rice, unless it's a special sushi style onigiri like a masuzushi onigiri sold at a convenience store. Go wild with the rice balls!

Huh, really? I always thought it was essentially made of the same style of seasoned rice you'd make nigiri with or something.

Nope. That said, I prefer to use sushi seasoned rice when I make it, or at least to mix the rice with furikake. More flavor is good.

I've based my version on Fuchsia Dunlop's recipe, as it's nice snd sweet and sticky, and reminds me most of the really good red braised porks I've had in China and Singapore.

If you use the IP (never used it for red braising, but dont see why it wouldn't work), its probably best to make sure you reduce the sauce after, or cut the water used at the start. Its nicest when it coats the meat and is lovely and shiny :)

my local permanent fast food caravan (the kind open til 5am used by taxi drivers and drunks after the pub) back in the day mixed coles snag meat into their beef patties. Was actually pretty good. Their chips gravy was as black as my step-grandmother's heart and you could get vegemite on your all pork-rear end in a top hat hotdogs. poo poo was legit.

Also its not a burger with the lot unless its got the pineapple and beetroot, fight me iajanus.

loving bbq sauce can gently caress off too. The exception is the reaper chilli bbq sauce I got from the markets in the weekend, that can stay

And that snag meat idea sounds like a winner

Make aioli or pesto with them. Buy the very best quality pasta and make aglio e olio with them. Make a compound butter out of them and put it on steak or in chicken kiev. Wilt them into a white bean salad or over blanched green beans. Make a bootleg wild garlic soup. Put them en papillote with some monkfish or swordfish and a bit of spinach or samphire if you can get it. Make a coleslaw with apples and fennel and add the scapes whole.
