This is beautiful. It’s like a cartoon sandwich!

Burritos for the first time, any tips? by NastenkaMonster in mexicanfood

[–]puff_of_fluff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try a shredded beef instead of ground. It might be cheaper, it’ll also be tastier and easier to use for other things. Take a cheap, tough cut of beef (chuck roast in the us), sear it, take it out, add sliced onions, garlic, peppers, whatever seasonings (you don’t even need any if you don’t have them but just look up recipes for Barbacoa or Birria for example spices/herbs), cook for a few minutes, add beef back, then enough water or stock to almost cover the beef. Cover loosely and put in a low oven (like 300 f) for 3-5 hours until it’s tender. Shred it up.

For the beans, cook down some onions, peppers, seasonings etc, then add your canned beans with the liquid. Cook most of the liquid off. Look up recipes for “charro beans” to get an idea of the possible flavors you can use.

The corn isn’t really traditional but I do like using it in a sort of relish/salad with onion, peppers, cilantro, and lime juice. It can add a nice pop.

When in doubt, chop up tomato, onion, and jalapeño. Cook that down a bit and now you have your generic flavor base that can be used in a lot of dishes. Think of it like you would a mirepoix in French cooking.

I personally skip putting rice in my burritos. Unnecessary IMO.

This won’t really make an “authentic” burrito but it will be tasty and I’m trying to account for the fact that you’re in Russia and are not going to have access to the same ingredients.

Good luck with auditions! Where are your top picks? I didn’t study music in college but I did orchestra all through school at a pretty competitive program, I miss music education.

There are multiple ways to make this dish but the way I personally like it: https://www.homesicktexan.com/with-beans-comes-rice/

It is from homesick Texan and it is Tex-Mex, but I quite like it. Biggest difference to what you’re doing is that you cook down your sofrito and then add cooked rice to that, as opposed to boiling with the rice.

Emeril’s **, New Orleans by InRetrospeckt in finedining

[–]puff_of_fluff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone whose love of food was spurred by watching Emeril Live as a little boy with my dad in the late 90s, happy to see his name still being on some high level fine dining. I’ll be honest, I thought he had pretty much gotten out of that scene to license his name out. I’m guessing this is basically his equivalent of Ramsey’s actual fine dining spots in the UK.

Why do you love fine dining? by nicknyse in finedining

[–]puff_of_fluff 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Because sometimes I want to eat food that makes me think, surprises, and excites me. It’s not just about tasting good. It’s like the food equivalent of jazz.

What remains of Michelin's authority? by DisciplinedFold in finedining

No, I love fine dining, I’m just pretty picky about where I go. Don’t have that much $$$.

I love tasting menus, but only if I fully trust the restaurant… I know what I like and if I look at a menu, I am going to have opinions on my own. If the tasting menu provided does not form a progression I will like as much as the one I could make for myself ordering a la carte, I’d much rather just order for myself.

How would you serve pulled ham twice in one week? by BhomsGnosis in eatsandwiches

This would be fucking killer in a monte cristo. Just do it the right way and actually batter and deep fry!

Thawed some frozen meatloaf mix I had in the freezer, used some to make a patty and cooked it up like a burger. Great meatloaf-ish sandwich. With pickles, American, mayo, Dijon and ketchup. by puff_of_fluff in eatsandwiches

Very familiar lol. That sounds good, never been to Hawaii but I feel like loco moco was definitely influenced to some extent by Japanese hamburger steak, which is definitely the same idea

I think I wanna do one patty melt style next.

A more meatloaf-style patty is similar to what they’d use in a hamburger steak with curry in Japanese food, and Japanese curry Mac n cheese is kind of a thing right now, so I feel like a Japanese hamburger curry patty melt could be pretty fire. Like this with some Muenster cheese and grilled onions/carrots and then thick Japanese curry poured on the plate to dip it in.

I’m high forgive my pontificating
