Garlic braised short ribs. Braising doesn't make for the most photogenic cooking, but this was real good

Made some heirloom chicken stock yesterday. Slow simmered with fresh herbs and alliums.

Today, separated the fat from the stock and used when roasting these potatoes...

This is just out of the oven at the end of the cook, yum

Heirloom chicken refers to breeds of chicken that live outdoors, are slow growing, and are often smaller than conventionally sold chicken.Jul 21, 2020

Yeah, its that. I guess its kinda fancy, but a 4 lb whole chicken was only $15, so that's not so bad in 2022. I got stock, meat, and cooking fat out of it.

I think there is a big difference in flavor. I started making my own stock as a way to make use of whole chickens which are way cheaper than precut pieces (like, an entire chicken can be the same price as just the two breasts). You can buy a whole chicken, cut off the legs and breasts for whatever and freeze the rest until you have enough bits to make stock. I'm crap at cutting up chickens but for a lot of recipes, who cares if your cuts are slightly off?

Homemade stock really extracts a lot of protein and other nutrients from what might otherwise be thrown away. Good stock will be semi solid at fridge temperature - thats all healthy protein that adds a lot of body to many dishes.

Stock in the fridge lasts 2-10 days depending on who you ask, and 6-12 months in the freezer.

I understand that which is why I drew the comparison. But I never really heard anyone specify the seeds. It's always the cilantro.

Really? Ground coriander seed is pretty common in Mexican food, Indian food, lots of other stuff where cilantro-y flavor is desired, but the actual leaves would just turn to goo during cooking.

Pro tip for gardeners, Cilantro often bolts frustratingly quickly but after it starts to flower it will set (coriander) seeds. Once the seeds are fully formed, cut down the plant, hang it to dry, and harvest the seeds. Fresh ground coriander seed like this is really, really good.

Gout isn’t (just) caused by organ meat. Any meat, especially fish, many veggies,alcohol, carbonation, genetics, being a man, and elevation changes will cause. Luckily there’s a medication that mostly makes it go away.

You forget the risk factor of being Filipino

Also what's that medication, cuz I literally do know a bunch of Filipino people with gout problems

selfposting from the vegan thread

Made an almost* vegan version of this chinese-japanese dish: https://www.justonecookbook.com/beef-green-pepper-stir-fry/

Only major change made to the recipe was using shimeji mushrooms instead of beef and shishito peppers instead of bell peppers

*i also used water instead of chicken broth and there is a tiny amount of oyster sauce in this, but there are vegan versions

Very good, would eat again
