Fragile Bird Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Or use it when you cook rice, instead of water or in addition to the water. Do you have the room to freeze those quantities between the times you make rice? Risotto, classically, is made with broth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yagathai Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Chorizo and peppers. Extremely simple, but still one of my favorite things in the world. Normally I don't slice the sausage but rather parboil it then finish it in the skillet whole, but I was in a hurry tonight.

Yagathai Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 What can I do with 1 cup quantities of vegetable stock? I don't really make stock because I don't use it much at all, and recipes always seem to call 3 cups or 7 cups and the boxes are always 4 cups. After working out or sweating like crazy, the salt in chilled veggie broth really hits the spot sometimes. Seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fragile Bird Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 While I normally have containers of frozen stock in my fridge, sometimes, ya know, you run out. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolverine Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 While I normally have containers of frozen stock in my fridge, sometimes, ya know, you run out. :P Yeah. I would love to only use my own stocks all the time, but the convenience of the store bought stuff wins out on occasion. Usually if I make a chicken or something I already have plans for the stock (like soup). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yagathai Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Hassle? You literally just boil stuff, and then freeze it when you're done. It's the best-smelling least-hassly thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolverine Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 So I smoked country style pork ribs for supper tonight. They are just finishing and I am excited to eat them but the real deal is this chicken jerky I made since the smoker was going anyhow. I got a bunch of chicken tenderloins from the local butcher for really cheap(1.69 a pound) a few weeks ago and decided to make some jerky with a couple pounds. It is freaking awesome. One of the best meat morsel I have ever made. Also made a pork roast in smoker to use in the aforementioned green chilli in a couple days. Pretty excited to try my hand at that as well.

kairparavel Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 That looks yummy, Lany! Inspired by the meatball sandwhich we had in Philly last weekend, MC has concocted a meatball and zucchini noodle dish along with kale salad and a Tuscan red.

wolverine Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Finally attempted my first green chilli and it was great. Used about 25 anaheim chillis fresh from the garden that I roasted on the grill and a pork roast that I had smoked a few days ago. Also threw in a couple jalapenos and garden salsa and it had just the right amount of bite. This is something I will certainly make in the future. Sorry MC, I could not find any fresh tomatillos so I used fresh tomatoes from our garden. It wasn't as green then, but was still delicious. I have not used tomatillos in the past, but if they have many uses maybe we will plant some next year. Last night was at my brothers and he smoked a couple pork tenderloins. Perfectly cooked, tender, juicy, and wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aceluby Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Got cucumbers coming out of my ears from my garden and made a couple awesome recipes with them. 1) Cucumber-gin lemonade. 5 lemons hand squeezed, 1/2 cup of sugar, mix then add 4 cups of water and steep for an hour with 1 sliced cucumber. Add a .750ml of your favorite gin and serve over ice. Delicious, but dangerous. Went through WAY too much gin this weekend :) 2) Cut up a loaf of French bread, buttered and garlic salted the pieces before broiling for 10 minutes. Made a cream cheese with dill, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes all to taste, then topped each of the pieces with the cream cheese mixture, diced up roma tomatoes, and two slices of cucumber. It was so good we are having it again tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
