Sam Sifton's Recipe Box | My Recipes. Recipes. 11 Recipes Featuring the Official Sixth Taste: Oleogustus (A.K.A. Fat) First there were only four tastes: sweet, sour, salty and bitter. Then umami hit the scene, spreading its literal deliciousness everywhere and even inspiring a now famed burger chain. Now, there’s a sixth taste: oleogustus (more commonly known as fat). Researchers from Purdue University recently discovered that people can identify the distinct taste of fat as something totally separate from its texture. While the pure flavor of fat might sound delicious, it’s not. Oleogustus was described as “unpalatable,” “rancid” and “irritating.” But that’s only when it’s tasted on its own. Combined with other flavors, oleogustus can be delicious. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11.

Crispy Pork, Thai-Chinese Barbecue Pork with Crispy Skin, Moo Grob | The High Heel Gourmet. Have you ever been to your Chinatown? In every Chinatown in every country there will be at the least one place, if not more, that has some dead-looking animals and animal pieces hanging in the windows. Those places are selling barbecued meat. The typical items would be barbecued pork, or red strips of meat called Char Su in Chinese, or roast duck, roasted chicken, and roasted pork, aka crispy pork. Roast pork or crispy pork is the pork belly with the skin on, but the skin is so crispy, it fluffs up just like a Mexican Chicharrón.
The pork is usually salty, and of course crispy on the skin part, and tender all the way through. The flavors are varied based on each vendor’s recipe; some use Chinese five spices, some don’t, some use Chinese wine and some don’t, but most common ingredients are salt and vinegar. Thai people use this crispy pork to cook many dishes. Crispy pork is not difficult, but it is tricky. The real crispy pork in Chinatown usually was made by baking. Ingredients: Method: Sausage Rolls Under Scrutiny | Gather and Graze. The school which my children attend has a wonderful canteen that offers an extensive array of healthy and delicious lunch options. Though a couple of days ago when I stopped by to chat with the lovely lady who runs the canteen, she mentioned that there were 3 items on their menu that she would love to see removed, due to them being overly processed and shipped in, packed frozen in boxes ready for re-heating.
She asked whether I might help by coming up with a couple of home-made replacements that we could get the kids to sample over the next two weeks, with a view to adding them permanently to the menu when school goes back next year. So this week, I’ve started playing around with a recipe for home-made Chicken Sausage Rolls, packed with a flavoursome range of veggies, to keep those dear little bodies and minds as healthy as possible.
My fingers are crossed that the kids will all give them the thumbs up when we pass around some samples at lunchtime next week! Like this: Like Loading... Leg of Lamb Sous-Vide with Anchovies, Garlic, and Rosemary | Stefan's Gourmet Blog. A great way to cook a whole leg of lamb is to roast it in the oven with anchovies, garlic and rosemary. I wanted to cook the lamb sous-vide instead so it would be more tender and juicy, and just a portion of the leg as I was feeding only a small crowd. To flavor more of the lamb and not just the outside, I decided to butterfly it and make a roulade. This worked very well. The lamb was perfectly cooked with just the right balance between meat and seasoning.
Here’s what I did… Ingredients For 2 servings 300 grams (.66 lb) deboned leg of lamb 3 anchovy fillets 1/2 Tbsp minced rosemary (needles only) 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic (about 1 clove) salt and freshly ground black pepper extra virgin olive oil 80 ml (1/3 cup) reduced lamb stock 120 ml (1/2 cup) red wine Preparation Mince the anchovies, garlic, and rosemary together. Put this mixture in a bowl and add just enough olive oil to cover. Season the meat with salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides. Make sure it is evenly covered… Vacuum seal.

Fresh tomato tagliatelle: Recipes: Good Food Channel. Anchovies: let the love-hate love-in begin | Everlasting meals. No matter what else is in my cupboard, I try to make sure I have at least one jar or can of anchovies.
They are not universally loved, but few powerful things are. The key to making them as useful as they can be is knowing how to exercise their power well. They contain enough potency in their tiny preserved selves to do most of what needs doing. Anchovies divide us into lovers and fighters. No one is neutral. The little fish elicit wistful gazes from their adorers – if you love them you wonder when you will get your next one – and shudders from objectors (far more numerous), who can’t fathom the injustice of ever having to see one of the nasty things again. If you have ever tasted a good anchovy, you will know that nastiness is not in the fish’s nature. When you open a jar or tin of them, their thick salt smell is the first thing that escapes. The best anchovies will have been preserved in salt. Or buy the best olive-oil-packed fillets you can. Blanche Vaughan's bagna caude.
This Piedmontese classic is perfect to eat at this time of year, the garlic is fresh and the vegetables are young and tender. With just a small pot and a burner to heat it, you could even make it outside on the allotment. 'Bagna Cauda' means hot-bath, referring to the gentle infusion of the garlic and anchovy in the oil and butter. Ideally, once the sauce is made, it should be kept warm over a candle while the vegetables are dipped into it. But if you're making it for less than 4 people, you'll have eaten it all before it cools. What I love about this one is its variability, the vegetables should be whatever is in season or available. They can be poached to softness or crunchy and raw. It's interesting to vary the vegetables according to flavour.

When you think of lasagne, you probably think of the famous Lasagne alla Bolognese with bolognese ragù and bechamel sauce. There are however more types of lasagne, such as Lasagna alla Napoletana with ragù alla napoletana, meatballs, sausage, and ricotta, or this Lasagne alla Genovese with pesto. I had never made it before but I will definitely make it again as it was delicious and surprisingly light.
Lasagne alla Genovese is made with a mixture of pesto alla genovese and bechamel sauce, to which vegetables can be added. In this case I added roasted zucchini, an idea I got from the Italian blog Il Marito Perfetto (the perfect husband). As with all lasagne it is best when made from scratch and as all lasagne that is quite a bit of work. Ingredients For a 28 x 18 cm (11 x 7 inch) lasagne dish, 4 servings as a primo piatto or 2 servings as a full meal One recipe home-made pesto lots of freshly grated parmigiano reggiano For the pasta 2 eggs about 200 grams (1 1/4 cups) Italian 00 flour 3 zucchini.
Deboned Lamb Shank Sous-Vide with Peas and Mint | Stefan's Gourmet Blog. Lamb shank sous-vide is one of my favorite cuts of lamb. I tend to avoid serving meat or fish with bones when preparing dinner for company, unless I know they are comfortable with it. And so in order to serve lamb shank sous-vide, I decided to debone it first. In the case of lamb shanks that is quite easy to do, and the advantage is that the bones can be used to make a stock to enhance the flavor and make a sauce. Another advantage is that you are not restricted to serving one lamb shank per person, but that you can easily serve more or less.
There is one tricky point about cooking lamb sous-vide and that is that ‘lamb’ is a loose term that can refer to a suckling lamb that is very young and tender (I’m not even considering unborn lamb, which is eaten in some cultures) or to a young sheep, and everything in between. This means that cooking time and/or temperature may need to be adjusted for best results. Lamb with peas and mint are a traditional combination and it works. Ingredients salt. Customer Reviews: AeroPress Coffee Maker. Tabbouleh with lots of parsley and mint, as it should be. (VIDEO) Screengrab There are many wonderful, hearty salads out there with grains as their main ingredient, and tabbouleh is not one of them. Granted, the Levantine salad has bulgur in it—without the bulgur it wouldn’t be tabbouleh. But bulgur is not tabbouleh’s main ingredient.
Tabbouleh is not a grain salad with herbs in it; it is an herb salad with grains in it. L.V. No time is better suited for appreciating the proper ratio of herbs to bulgur in tabbouleh than now, when heat and humidity conspire to strip oxygen of its usual revitalizing effects. Watch: Laura’s tips on cleaning and chopping parsley Apart from remembering that parsley and mint are the stars of the salad, there are three ways to make tabbouleh taste as invigorating as the opening harmonies of Laura Mvula’s Sing to the Moon.
The second thing to remember: Use really good tomatoes. Lastly: Add a lot of lemon juice. Tabbouleh Yield: 4 to 6 servings Time: About 1¼ hours, partially unattended 1. 2.
