Cooking a Good Everything Else
Thought I'd take El D's advice and create another thread for cooking discussion, as steak is wonderful, but pork, meatba
Don’t forgot the Rice Roni for the San Fran game.
Was gifted a mortar and pestle. Some ideas as to what should I put it to use for?
Was kind of a game changer for me for guacamole.
I've been using mine mostly for guac but really anything that can benefit from having ingredients pulverized vs simply chopped up will work. Also was very handy when making steak au poivre for cracking peppercorns, but not powdering them like a spice grinder or pepper mill would do.
Also pretty much any south east Asian dish and lots of Asian/Indian dishes in general will call for one. Basically any recipe that calls for one, the results are going to be noticeably better using it over a food processor. Probably I noticed it in guacamole the most because it's something I'm so familiar with where making pad kra phao for the 1st time I wouldn't know as I have no previous baseline.
I grew and dried some oregano. I use mine to grind that up when I use it. Along with a few other herbs. Tried grinding up cumin seeds, but I like the already ground stuff from the store better. Mine's too small for guac. Maybe I'll try it one day when I just want a snack.
Nice^^^
Was going to say this!
Also, roast whole spices (cumin seeds; coriander seeds; black peppercorns etc.) until fragrant and use the pestle and mortar to grind them. Complete game changer over pre-bought ground spices.
Maybe that's why I was so unimpressed with cumin in mine. Pretty sure I didn't roast/toast the seeds first. Will try again.
Made a toasted everything bagel with refrigerated ranch dressing and a Mozz/Parm/Asiago cheese blend. Was delicious. 8)

I say yes
easy-peasy if you multi-quote all previous food posts of mine
always sloppy with a side of frizzle fries
I’d just post in here, every prior attempt to have multiple food threads in OOT has fizzled out
Up in New England today is the official start of chili season (per me).
Making Hillstone’s cornbread to go with it.
Enjoy the season!
