well, i can't post pics, or i'd join in too! recent cooks were pan fried bratwursts and fried potatoes, steak fingers in bacon fat with fried corn, roast beef, potatoes, carrots& gravy and i've baked ..uumm...36 loaves of bread the last 2 weeks for folks that can't get bread( another thing being hoarded here, but not the frozen bread dough i use! ) .
  i" binge cook" mostly, too many years as a caterer, so next week 's plan is chili, shredded pork taco meat, shredded chicken taco meat and marinara meatballs(alex, i hid the dang mustard) . then i'll assemble burritos for the freezer, since i scored 2 packages of giant tortillas.

Man, these pics are ridiculous! It shows me just how boring and unvaried my diet is, even outside of self isolation. I rotate across brown rice as a base, and cook some kind of chicken or fish. There's leftover pizza, there's chopped sausages, the occasional casserole, lots of toasted cheese sandwiches, bags of frozen agnolotti or ravioli. No seasoning or condiments like herbs or onion. Your diet is like some kind of homestyle restaurant. I just don't have the patience or motivation to make your variety of foods.

@chef

I would LOVE to see pics of your cooking. It all sounds so damn delicious!

@Archivist

I like to keep my meals simple but varied if possible. The easiest one I made is dump cake. All you need is a can of fruit or a can of pie filling, a bag of cake mix of your choice, and some sliced butter. That's it. Ever since I discovered Hummus with Spicy Beef it has become a favorite. I use store bought Hummus (I also make my own sometimes) and fry the ground beef. The important thing here are the (mostly dry) spices. I love the fact that cinnamon goes into the beef. It elevates this dish to a whole new level. The tomatoes that go on top are marinated in freshly squeezed lemon only, with parsley and a sprinkle of salt.

For quick meals I like using a pouch of microwave rice and mix it with canned fish (in oil or tomato sauce) and some kind of topping be it fresh herbs, toasted bread crumbs, croutons or whatnot. Very simple.

Short cuts in cooking are welcomed. I used two jars of ready made pasta sauce for my lasagna. Sometimes I like to go meatless so I made chili but used quinoa instead of meat.

If you have the time check youtube for quick and easy to do meal videos. Also, stepping out the food comfort zone will give you endless varieties of amazing cuisine.

I sometimes cook nice meals, but only for groups. With the pseudo-quarantine in place, there's no need for that.

My next halfway major cooking project will be brownies.

Chefzombie is one mean recipe machine. You guys should spend some time talking food.  :teddyr:

I love your suggestions for quick and easy meals. I'm a big fan of canned fish for protein and taste, and using croutons or herbs sounds easy. I'll often dump a can of Mexican flavoured tuna into a bowl of spinach and ricotta agnolotti. Do you have a recipe for hummus with spicy beef? I'm a big fan of hummus, although I mostly eat it as a dip, or as a sauce in kebabs.

One of my favourite indulgences is soft tasty Red Square cheese from Tasmania with seeded lavosh crackers. The cheese itself is surprisingly expensive, but not exorbitant. the seeded lavosh crackers give it a bit of extra interest, as opposed to plain water crackers. Aw man, now I want to brave the outside and get some cheese...

Totally worth it. It's not like I always cook from scratch. I've done the bagged ravioli and store bought sauce many times. Sometimes I'll add mozzarella, parm and a spritz of olive oil and give it a good bake in the oven. A perfect yet easy and very satisfying meal.

@Arch

There are variations of Hummus with Spicy Beef depending on region. If I'm not mistaken it originated from Lebanon. Some use a finely diced onion but not always, and minced garlic (2 cloves) heated in a pan with olive oil. In goes about 1 lbs of ground beef. You don't want to fry it too crumbly, there should be some chunky ground beef pieces. Spices that go in are usually 1/2 teaspoon: cumin, ground coriander, oregano, cayenne or chili, pepper, salt, cinnamon, turmeric, (smoked) paprika, allspice. Some regions add tomato paste, chopped parsley, cilantro, mint. Others add about a tablespoon of beef stock powder. The hummus should be spread out on a plate (or the insides of a bowl), then the beef and the lemon-tomato "salad" on top. A sprinkle of pine nuts on the beef isn't uncommon.

I wish I could give you karma. This sounds amazing. This also sounds like a lot of spices! Half a teaspoon each of all of those? Heck. I don't have half of those.

arc, there's a couple of ebay sellers who sell " spice kits" to order, i go that route for certain things because i wouldn't use up a whole jar of a spice, like turmeric . i use a mix of turmeric and cinnamon to simulate saffron flavor because it's SO expensive!
claws, what kind of bun is that in picture one, with the brats? i use canned marinara as a base for my own sauce now, i don't have the room to do from scratch sauces anymore. i'm not unhappy about that, lol, although i DO miss my from scratch BBQ sauce.

Germany is the land of the brötchen, that's what I used with the brats.

Brötchen is basically a small hand-sized bread. It is chewier than a bun but then again, all bread in germany is chewier than the rest of the world. I think it is because bakers here don't use bleached flour, and don't add that much sugar.

Our hot dog or burger buns are brittle. Stores sometimes offer "American Style" buns but they are nothing like American buns.

i make a dip/relish you'd probably like claws, it has chickpeas, lima beans, black beans, corn, red onion,red& green bell peppers, red&green jalapenos, pickled pepperoncini, chopped roma tomatoes, cumin,cilantro,cracked peppercorns and sea salt. i serve it with tortilla or pita chips as a dip, and my husband( who HATES lime & garbanzo beans) will stuff it into  a pita with sliced chicken. i imagine it could be heated and served over pasta, or as a cold pasta salad .


Title: Re: Quarantine Cooking
Post by: claws on April 09, 2020, 12:05:35 AM
I'm all for chickpeas and this sounds right up my alley. Annoying thing is local stores don't offer a variety of beans, they stock based on demand. Many times a recipe called out for lima beans, black beans or edamame but stores here don't have them. Standard beans here are kidney and white, which is sad.

I didn't cook this, just got this from a local butcher.

Pizzaleberkäs

(https://i.imgur.com/OSzj3Gkl.jpg)

I'll let wiki explain this food:

Quote
Leberkäs consists of corned beef, pork and bacon and is made by grinding the ingredients very finely and then baking it as a loaf in a bread pan until it has a crunchy brown crust.

Most of the time it is served hot on a semmel (hard wheat flour bread roll) and traditionally seasoned with mustard or pickles. The result, generally called Leberkäsesemmel (in Swabia and the Franconian parts of Bavaria, Leberkäsweckle, Leberkäsweggla or LKW in short), is a staple of South-German and Austrian fast food stalls, butcher shops and supermarkets.


Title: Re: Quarantine Cooking
Post by: chefzombie on April 28, 2020, 03:10:29 PM
i would eat that, without the mustard or pickles, a nice slice of cheddar cheese instead.
  now i'm curious about the stuffed gnocchi, gonna start the research! i can make stuffed tortellini, hopefully gnocchi would be that simple too. :cheers:

i have a question, please? i know you're in germany, do you have any idea WTH my BFF's GF is talking about when she says she misses " german french fry ketchup"? she's  not able to recall the brand.

I don't think I've ever seen a specific ketchup tailor made for french fries only. We have varieties of something called Pommes Sauce (french fry sauce) but those are mayo based.

There are a few german ketchup flavors that have been around for ages. There's Gewürz-Ketchup, which is a spice infused ketchup. And there's the classic Curry-Ketchup that has a good amount of curry. Both go well with french fries.

AHA! thank you, that gives me something to work with to be able to surprise her for her birthday. she's a sweet woman, but is not food savvy in the least. i'll see what i can find online, i'm betting it's the spice infused one.  :cheers:

BINGO, claws! it IS that spice infused one, it's made by hela and she likes the extra hot one. i bought 3 different  sets, she also likes the remia brand frites sauce too, and had forgotten about that. and the ziesner(SP?) garlic curry ketchup is a hit too! thanks again!  :cheers:

No prob. Yeah, Hela's is a popular brand here in Germany. I buy their sauces and ketchup most of the time.

I had a McRib last week. It was OK, nothing special. Not sure why it's a cult fast food thing.

Maybe this McRib documentary can shed some light on the mystery

It's a turkish drink made of some sort of fruit(s). It's sparkling and kinda looks like 7Up or Sprite. It has a unique taste.
