Made a Ham Leek and Cannellini bean casserole, then used the leftovers to make pies. Makes for a pretty tasty filling.

Thanks for the recipe and all the help. Really we are just being more conscious about the amount of meat we eat. It was every meal all the time. Now we are starting to do the 1 day a week. I wouldn't mind doing more veggie dishes if I find stuff we can all like.

Cheese is fine.

I like Mark Bittman’s How To Cook Everything Vegetarian book. Most libraries or library networks have it if you want to look at it before you buy. It has a huge variety of dishes, most are listed with all sorts of variations.

It has a couple of my favorite easy dinners: Lentils and Potatoes with Curry, and Pasta with Fried Eggs.

I think the only Chef John recipe I've tried that I didn't care for was the sausage cheese balls one. Somehow dry and insanely fatty at the same time. I'm sure there's other stuff that I haven't tried that I also wouldn't care for (the meatloaf skull he did for halloween one year comes to mind) but he has an insanely high hit rate.

Beef Bourguignon


Gah! This looks so much better than what I made a few days ago. Looks so good!

My gluten sensitive mom was visiting so I made a gluten free pot roast with an eye of round my wife ordered from butcher box, happened to have everything I needed in the house.

Slow and low for 8 hours, very tender but the beef was a little chalky and it made me wish I was eating a proper bourguignon.

My only quibble with Chef John is that he gets hung up on only using The Real Stuff. gently caress that, Californian or Wisconsan parmesan is fine,you don't need to feel shame about not spending more money on imported cheese.

8 hours in a slow cooker? 8 hours in an oven would be waaaay too long. Suggest maybe just crock potting into the oven for 2.5-3 hours depending on the mass of the meat, gives best result imho. I also do the spuds separate as that adds starch into the wine and whatnot when there's already flour and (I put) mustard powder in there.

Parmesan is a bad example because I’ve never had domestic Parmesan that was anything like the real thing. It’s not about the terroir imo, it’s about the process and the aging. I don’t think there’s any reason there couldn’t be a good US parm, but there isn’t a commercial one now afaik. Something like Belgioso is basically a young cheddar that’s never seen a crystal.

For some things it doesn’t matter, like if you’re pouring a cup into a tater tot casserole or meatballs, or using it for a salty note in breading, by all means use the green can. But if you’re doing something where the parm stands out, then yeah you really want the real thing.

If you haven’t had it before, get some of the super aged good stuff to try sometime. If you’re just using it for microplaning over the top of things, $15 worth will last you months and be totally worth it.

I wonder if this isa consequence of the just in time shipping phenomenon, where everything that's in storage is considered an expense.

gently caress the green can. It doesn't even act like cheese. And if they could give you less "parmesan-like cheese product" and more cellulose, they would.

My local discount grocery got a truckload of parm shavings packaged in delitainers that were absurdly cheap, I bought one, was enlightened, and went back and bought a bunch more.

Circumstances willing, once this green can I do have is gone, I am never buying another green can again.

I think the problem is that everyone who cares has just learned to only buy parmigiano reggiano so even if an American company decided to compete with it nobody would buy it.

Naw the green can still sucks, straight up. Anyway, I'm not denying that the imported stuff is better, but a wedge of the domestic stuff is fine and if that's what's available to you, use it and don't stress about doing it wrong it or whatever.

I went to the grocery store this morning and a wedge of parmigiano reggiano was $20 :negative:

I found the smallest block for $10 and told myself it was good actually because it always gets too hard by the end anyway

When this happens you make minestrone. The end of the cheese goes into the pot, rind and all, for the last twenty minutes or so. Fish out the now goopy cheese bit and spread it on the bread you're having with the soup.

Block of parm should last months in the fridge without getting too hard. Wrap in cling wrap, then put in a ziplock bag. And yeah, add dem rinds to da soup

Put the rind in your tomato sauce. Softens the acidity and helps thicken it up.

There's a pretty big price difference between Grana Padano compared to Parmigiano Reggiano in Europe- GP hits all the same notes for quite a bit less. I wonder if the same is true in the states?
