Justin Wilson’s Red Bean Gumbo. The trick is an ultra-dark roux. You’re gonna burn it the first few tries, so give yourself a few hours to practice. This ultra-dark roux takes almost 45 minutes to make. It should look like chocolate pudding and smell of toasted wheat if you did it correctly.
A burnt roux is only suitable for the garbage bin. Seriously, don’t try to save $0.50 of oil and flour, whatever you try to make with it will taste burnt and shitty
You get this recipe correct though, and you’ll love it. I Gare-on-tee
I’m trying to find my recipe but serious eats has a good one for not having to use Velveeta. Use evaporated milk and cornstarch with your shredded cheese. That’s their recipe. Then I throw in some cumin and rotel and diced chiles. Maybe taco meat if it’s the main dish. Sometimes avocado.
It’s been Souptober at my house for the weekends this month. Started with a beef barley stew. Then chicken noodle. Then a chilli. Next I’m trying to make a crab soup or french onion soup. Gonna finish it off with chicken and dumplings. I just need a tomato based soup to squeeze in there during the week.
Did see someone mention chicken tortilla and pasta fagioli which reminded me it’s been too long since I’ve made either of those, but I haven’t seen anyone recommend my personal fav, beef barley!
If anyone’s got a good pozole recipe, I’d love to check that out also!
I grew up in small towns and moved to Seattle a few years ago. I’m still not used to seeing things on the Internet and being like “I go there, I know that place!”
Growing up my mum would often make what she would call “poor man’s cheese cake.”
Take a Graham cracker, put a personally appropriate schmear of cream cheese on, add whatever jam you have on hand (my personal favs are blackberry/blueberry and raspberry, top with one or more fresh pieces of fruit.
I usually just steam some veggies in the microwave, drain out the water, toss a pat of cream cheese in the bowl and leave it covered for a bit while it melts in the steamy veggies. Hit it with some garlic powder and sea salt and pepper. Good eatin’!
