Cooking stuff -- with pics PIZZA ON PAGE 3!
I've been disheartened by the lack of cooking going on around here. Flashchat seems to populated almost exclusively with people who don't know what they're doing in the kitchen, and that's just wrong.
I'm making this thread to show that cooking is usually both easy and rewarding. I'll share my recipes as I cook and hopefully pics as well.
Usually I just adapt recipes, since you can never be sure about having all the ingredients and I'm used to cooking for a bunch of people.
Today's Recipe: Page's Goulash
Ingredients
Vegetable oil
Pork loin, about 2.6kgs, cubed
4 small-to-mid sized onions, chopped
3-4 cloves of garlic, minced
2 large green peppers, chopped
a couple dozen mushrooms, sliced
7-8 tbsp paprika
4 796ml cans of chopped or stewed tomatoes
2 1/2 tsp marjoram
4-5 tbsp flour
plenty of salt and pepper
Directions
0 - Gather ingredients and cube the pork, being sure to trim off the fat.
1 - Heat up the oil and start browning the meat, seasoning with salt and pepper.
Be sure not to crowd the pan. I've got a lot of meat to brown, so I'm removing the finished batches to a bowl.
2 - Add onions, garlic, and mushrooms. Cook for a few minutes longer.
3 - Stir in the paprika.
4 - Add the tomatoes and marjoram, bring to a boil then cover and cook on low heat for about 1 1/2 hours, until the meat is tender.
5 - Blend the flour with a little bit of water, then stir into the stew. Bring back to a boil and simmer until thickened.
6 - Serve with sour cream and enjoy.
