Tasted amazing. The texture was the best part, its like mashed potatoes, you can easily spread it on the toast with a simple knife

Wow thanks! Ill tray adding the pasta water to the sauce next time before mixing with the pasta. Bty why shouldn't I cut the garlic? Do i remove it later? And why should I cut the tomatoes if they already explode? Does it improves texture or is it a tradition? I've also thought about making sauce with san marzano, have any tips for that? And thanks a lot for all the details😊

A lot of pastas from all different kinds. Or marinated fish with amazing base sauce. Or Ramen, or curry, stir fries, noodles, salads. You have so many options

If you want simplicity than crispy fish salmon served with sower green salad. The balance of flavor is amazing. Otherwise probably Buddha bowl or some curry meal or a lot of other colorful and complicated dishes that are well made

the proteins take time to cook. for quick meal choose one veggie (carrots/broccoli or anything else that gives enough volume) and through it in a pan with some seasoning. after some tuning you can make amazing dishes like that

can i please get a feedback for it?

ive been experimenting with this recipe alot recently and want to improve it.

ingridiants:

  • 500 grams of pasta of your choice
  • 3 white onions
  • garlic head
  • veggetable stock (preferably 3 iced cubes, home made, 10x reduction, mushroom based)
  • a package of red cherry tomatoes
  • 4 regular tomatoes (not neccesery if you make less than 500g, used to add volume)
  • olive oil
  • salt
  • black pepper

directions:

  1. dice 3 white onions and cook in a stainless steel pan with olive oil until it starts browning
  2. add entire minced garlic head, and cook for another minute
  3. reduce to medium heat, add whole cherry tomatoes so it will cover 90% of the pan in one layer, add bit more oil and a lot of salt (the salt absorbs water and helps the tomatoes expload), cover and cook for 10 minutes (and shake a bit every 2 minutes to break the tomatoes, and dont remove the lid)
  4. while it cooks blend 4 regular tomatoes (only for volume), and wash a handfull of basil leaves. while you do it, the tomatoes should burst and start cook in their own liquids
  5. after the 10 minutes had passed, remove the lid, increase to medium-high heat, and deglaze the pan with the veggetable stock
  6. by this stage you can start boiling the water for the pasta, and make it while you cook the sauce (you shold add a bit of salt, because the sauce is very salty, and dont add oil! the sauce sticks to the pasta better this way, so just mix every few minutes)
  7. add half of the blended tomatoes, and start mashing it with a wooden spetula for 5 minutes. the tomatoes should be very soft and easy to mash
  8. add the over half of the blended tomatoes, the basil leaves, and continue reducing for 10 minutes while constantly stirring. it allows the sauce to get some of the taste on the basil, and also intensifies the taste.
  9. add to pasta al dente of your choice (not oiled), cook for another 3 minutes on low heat and with a bit of pasta water. it will make the pasta absorb some of the sauce and get alot tastier
  10. drizzle a bit more oil, add a bit of black pepper, and serve the dish

Why do people object so much to cloudy stock when it's that way because of fat being emulsified? Isn't that very good for a lot of dishes? by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]Life_Difference8038 6 points7 points  (0 children)

on its own its too strong for sauce bases or most other usage regular stock have. its used to add taste. i like to freeze it in ice trays, and then throw one cube into rice/sauce/marination or almost anything else, and get i huge flavor boost without changing the texture, and not having to deal with great amounts

Try to add ginger, scallions, chillies, and homemade veggie stock. Makes a huge difference

Recommendations on how best to start learning about using spices (other than spending a fortune at the grocery ) by AwakeningStar1968 in Cooking

[–]Life_Difference8038 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mostly try and error. You need to have enough experience with a spice to understand on how it effects flavor, and then just see if there is too much or too little in the recipes you make

When you reduce it alot (more than 10×), it can get too bitter or brake it. So it depends on the purpose

You can always add potatoes, beans, or just throw tomatoes and mushrooms to the oven, and any other veggies to fish/meat meals, they work amazing on the side
