man on a hot day like this nothing is more satisfying than a toasted tuna sandwich.

some finely diced celery, scallions, horseradish, and sweet relish. add in the Mayo with some fresh cracked black pepper and hoo boy. slap a slice of cheese on top and eat up with Dijon mustard.

Here's a little something I've learned recently

Put a star anise pod in like all your soups/sauces/stews

just also remember to take it out before you serve it

here’s what to do with ya garlic. fermented with jalapeño peppers. check the ph after the ferment. throw in fridge.

eventually your wife won’t want to kill you every time they are opened for fermenting garlic inside your house.

then well almost as good as adding fish sauce. I take about three cloves squeeze them in a press into things. this quart mason jar should last me a couple years.

I have vague memories of making this post but I can't find it so there's a chance i'm repeating myself, but i've been on a buddhist-compatible cuisine kick lately and I stumbled across my favorite recipe database ever: https://buddhisttemple.ca/taste-of-zen/view-recipes/

this thing has recipes laid out like this:

quote:

Stir-fried Zucchini

Ingredients: 500g zucchini, 150g king oyster mushrooms, 100g red pepper, 2 pcs. ginger

Seasonings: 1tsp. salt, 1tsp. sugar

Steps:

Rince all ingredients and cut into thick slices.
Heat wok with oil. Stir fry ginger slices until aromatized. Add zucchini and king oyster mushrooms and stir fry until softened.
Add seasonings and continue to stir fry for a while. Top with red pepper and serve.
Tips:

Do not overcook the vegetables.

and thats the entire page! it's not brimming with stupid tales of "back in the day my grandma used to squeeze yams while watching to make sure the sloth larvae didn't escape the enclosure and run into the lava pits on the family farm" in the middle of the recipe, it's just a name + picture + explicit recipe and it's beautiful

I use Donald Link's recipe (I have his cookbook but this is basically it with a bit less detail) and it turns out well. He recommends to heat on medium-high for 10 minutes then lower the heat as the roux darkens, but given the variation in stoves it's probably going to have to go by feel.

Coincidentally I'm actually making it again today; we'll see how it turns out

Jambalaya is really good. If you want I can find my uncle's Gumbo recipe as well, you can go really cajun

Fake edit: here it is, it is a really good recipe

E: forgot to mention that this is a big batch that he makes when hosting people for events. Cut it in half if you are making it for yourself

Shrimp and Sausage Gumbo

Ingredients:

1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup flour
8 large celery stalks – chopped
4 medium yellow onions – chopped
4 green peppers – chopped
8 cloves of garlic
6 fresh thyme sprigs
4 to 5 bay leaves
4 tsp of salt
4 tsp of dried oregano
1 to 2 tsp of cayenne pepper
6 – 8 oz bottles of clam juice (you can find this in most grocery stores)
2 – 28 oz cans diced tomatoes with juice
2 lbs andouille sausage
2 - 16oz bags of frozen cut okra
4 to 5 lbs large (I like 25 to 30 count EZ peel) raw, peeled shrimp
I

Mise en place - When making this Gumbo, I find it’s a lot easier if you have your ingredients all set to go before you start. I make this in a huge pot, it’s a double batch.

You can half this recipe easily

The roux

The roux is the key to the Gumbo, a little patience, a little love and you’ll get it!

1 cup vegetable oil

1 cup flour

Heat oil in a large (9 t0 9 ½ quart enameled or cast iron) heavy duty pot on medium high heat until just about smoking.

Add the flour, stirring constantly until the roux becomes dark auburn in color. You may want to want to lower the heat as you go, it’s important not to let the flour burn,

which is why you have to stir or whisk it constantly. Total time will be around 12 minutes – not an exact science.



The Mirepoix (French term for blend of three vegetables)

8 large celery stalks – chopped

4 medium yellow onions – chopped

4 green peppers – chopped



As soon as you get the roux to the right color, add the mirepoix, cook another 8 t0 10 minutes – again stirring often

Next add

8 cloves of garlic chopped – continue cooking for one minute

Then add

6 fresh thyme sprigs

4 to 5 bay leaves

4 tsp of salt

4 tsp of dried oregano (I mash this a little with back of a heavy spoon or mortar)

1 to 2 tsp of cayenne pepper (a little goes a long way, depends on how spicy you want it)

6 – 8 oz bottles of clam juice (you can find this in most grocery stores)

2 – 28 oz cans diced tomatoes with juice

2 lbs andouille sausage halved, and then sliced into 1/2inch pieces. (This can be a little hard to find but it makes all the difference. If you can’t find andouille, you can use a good quality smoked sausage like kielbasa)



After adding the above, bring the Gumbo to a boil, stir often, and boil for 15 minutes



Add


2 - 16oz bags of frozen cut okra (even if you don’t love okra, you need it as it is a natural thickener)

Reduce heat to medium and simmer for about 15 minutes until the okra is tender



Add

4 to 5 lbs large (I like 25 to 30 count EZ peel) raw, peeled shrimp

Cook 3 to 5 minutes more or until shrimp are cooked



Serve your Gumbo over good quality long-grain white rice (no instant rice here)

it's a double batch, the single batch would be 3 bottles of clam juice. He normally only makes this for things like the superbowl or other big events like that

make a roux with equal amounts flour/oil, saute the onions/peppers/garlic/celery, add water and season with salt or stock and pepper/thyme/bay, and add your meat. i see gumbo more as a product of a cooking style than a particular recipe.

4 to 5 lbs of shrimp sounds insane

I'll definitely hand you that. It's mostly him trying to make sure a bunch of half drunk people are having a good time, though, so I generally give it a pass. much more of a chicken and sausage person myself

agree with you mostly, but i feel like the okra and the tomato is part of what makes gumbo different than any other roux based stew
