A steak I made with some mashed potato, button mushrooms, broccoli and cauliflower, 4 peppercorn sauce. Savory as fuck.
Those vegetables are blanched beautifully.
>>7147171
Sauce needs more than 4 peppercorns.
>>7147171
I'll add another one. I over cooked the broccoli a bit so it was kind of mushy but still good!!
Stir fry with ramen!
Schnitzel with tomato jam, mashed potatoes, asparagus.
Where do I buy cute little mushrooms like that?

Cottage pie with melted cheese on top

I must know everything on this sandwich. Looks like rye bread, mac and cheese, bacon, green onions...what else? Would a touch of mustard and perhaps a dab of sour cream to keep things a little fresh be ok?
>>7147171
>square plates
>round pots
Make up your mind already!
Regular grilled cheese with a homemade roasted red pepper spread

Red peppers under a broiler
Take off the charred skin
De-seed it
Pop in blender with tomatoes and onions until puréed.
I then put it in a jar and enjoy whenever :)

This was only mozzarella on top of the toppings.
I put the cheese on before I put it in the oven under the broiler, crispy crust, gooey cheesy top. Delish

how to cook broccoli? i basically only have a microwave since my stove is too shitty to allow boiling of any kind
>>7147587
Just like mum use to make every sunday!
I was brought up enjoying the "odder" parts of the store, at least for an american.
>Roasted Chicken hearts
>Thin sliced beef heart, quick seared
>Beef/chicken liver pate
>Rigatoni puttanesca
>Sardines with oats, peas, and raisins
>Kipper Sandwich (normally toast, kippers, and melted peanut butter. Now that I'm older, I add a decent slice of smoked mozzarella.)
>Braised Brisket
Also "chinese" food. Steamed pork dumplings, egg foo yung, and lo mein.
Half stick butter
Big ass tortilla
Two eggs
Mozzarella
Spicy powder of some sort
Nuke it
Top with cottage cheese when done, ketchup too
Take Metformin,take Beetis nap
Wonder where my life went
>>7151560
>Chicken hearts/liver
>Beef Heart
>Beef liver
We had this kind of cuisine on occasion in my upbringing too. It stuck more with my sister, who loves chicken gizzards, livers, and hearts. I never was particularly fond of the stuff myself though. I 100% agree on that chinese bit, though. Chicken fried rice, general's chicken, lo mein, and egg foo yung are my shit!
I'll also tell you that your tastes are particularly odd... Relatives on my dad's side of the family are pretty much straight-up hillbillies and they enjoy squirrel, rabbit, and possum, even going as far as to eat raw squirrel brain right on the kill. This is all from word of mouth from my father's experiences, so I've never witnessed this first hand (not that I'd care to) but I'd definitely never touch the stuff if I was offered any of it, either.
The rabbit would be the farthest I'd go as long as it was cooked properly.

How do you know they were blanched?
Fig glazed pork shoulder roast with root veg.

I love you. Also made this with moose steak once. SO GOOD.
>>7153601
recipe pls
Am I the only one who really hates the term 'comfort food'?
I used to work in a restaurant as a waiter and was pretty fat so the chef would always make the joke that ''I can't serve food around me, the second food sees me coming it becomes uncomfortable''.
>>7153846
Pretty simple actually. Reduced apple cider with tarragon, thyme, fennel seeds and orange slices. Strained and then added fig preserves and cooked until thickened. Deboned a pork butt, tied it to ensure even cooking and threw in the oven at 275 F for five hours. Glazed twice over the last twenty minutes.

For the veggies I made a veggie demi using this technique (though different veg). Pic related.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BraJQrO8IqM
Then roasted off sliced carrot, sweet potato and parsnip. I let them cool and when ready to serve seared them quickly in a pan with butter and finished them with a bit of the demi.
>>7154064
The root veg. A little oil, salt and thyme sprigs.

Mom's boiled dinner.

>>7147366
You mean button mushrooms the most common kind?
>>7151499
Shittily if you only have a microwave
Idk just try in a container with a touch of water and not too long at all, should still be bright green
and finally, I could eat this every single day of my life breakfast lunch dinner, with some green onions and kikkoman shoyu.
>>7147374
that looks like correctly cooked broccoli, for once. normally, everyone overcooks them
French Onion Soup. Made a pot and nothing but it for two days, cozy as fuck.
>>7148900
How long does it store for? Because ideally I'd like to buy a bunch of bell peppers when in season and have them for as long as possible.
