cooking up stuff

Maybe a bit rare to see cooking advice in a github gist, nevertheless - let's go! (I prefer recipes that do not require a lot of work)

légumes rôtis - roasted veggies (mostly cauliflower)

  • wash two big cauliflower heads, remove the blackened spots
  • separate the cauliflowers into pieces (medium sized, not not too small pieces) and cut off the big stems. pe
  • pot with water: add the cauliflowers and add a teaspoon of salt
  • while the water is boiling: keep it cooking for six to eight minutes. (can add some cut and cleaned big paprika pieces while the water is boiling)
    • veggies that should not be added: Zucchini (get bitter), Potatoes (take more time to roast)
  • stop the heat, wait for several minutes, remove the water
    • put the veggies into a bowl
    • Add a bit of ground pepper and oil
    • mix it up.
  • preheat the oven at 200C
  • put the veggies in some pan (a disposable aluminium foil pan will do), covered in baking paper (Important detail: order the pieces neatly, so hat they are all on a flat surface - this is general advice with this kind of roasting projects)
  • put it all into the preheated oven (at 200C with circulating air)
  • after about ten minutes, turn the veggies in the pan upside down, continue for another 7-10 minutes

Pro tip: the water left from cooking the veggies can be used to stretch soups, etc (lots of stuff can be reused, upon second thought)


Cooking prefabbed Pelmeni/Kreplach/meat Ravioli

  • take a bowl of water and start cooking it.
  • Take Pelmeni/Kreplach/meat Ravioli from the freezer, fil a table plate full of frozen stuff (one layer). put the plate in the microwave for 3 minutes.
  • when the water starts cooking (first bubbles appear) put the stuff into the water.
  • cook for seven minutes in boiling water

Why do I heat them up in a microwave? They cling to the bottom of the pan, if you take them from from the freezer put them into hot water. Also they will cook more evenly and better, if they are no longer frozen . Don't overdo the preheating, otherwise they will fall apart while cooking.


Onion soup

  • Cut the onions (lots of them). I cut them into squares (to make it easier to eat the stuff)

  • Add two tablespoons of salt + pepper.

  • Start frying them in butter, later add a bit of oil

  • A bit later add ground garlic (one-two pieces) and ground ginger (i always add ginger to soups)

  • Fry them until brown (on medium temperature, this helps to avoid burning the stuff), stir occasionally. The whole point of the soup is to have sweetened onions, they caramelize upon frying.

  • Add water and wait till the water boils (boil for a few minutes)

  • Most important: after boiling for a couple of minutes, let it simmer for 40 minutes (if you don't cut the heat then most of the water evaporates, so less soup to eat)

  • fry some bread, add cheese on top and put it into the hot soup, several minutes before serving.


Chicken wings

  • need to cut the chicken wings in half (in the middle). Comes out this is quite easy, if he meat is still half frozen
  • cut off most of he skin (that's the most work intensive step, however is required: otherwise he result is a bit fatty)
  • add ground garlic, ground ginger, spices, oil, a big spoonful of honey (very important ingredient), teriyaki sauce, oil.
  • mix it all up
  • wait for 30 minutes
  • put it into disposable aluminium foil pan covered with baking paper (Important detail: order the pieces neatly, so hat they are all on a flat surface - this is general advice with this kind of roasting projects)
  • put it into a pre-heated oven a 200C.
  • at about 20 minutes: turn the meat pieces over, so tha that both sides get some heat.
