Food and Drink Recipes you know by heart - Page 3

**Fire Me Boy!** · 11-15-2015, 07:53 AM

What dishes have you cooked so many times you know it by heart? I'm not talking stuff you wing and make up on the spot; I'm talking things you know so well you can replicate with very good consistency every time - so well you could give good instructions and amounts so someone else could replicate with similar results?

Please include the recipe.

Thanks.

Tuna tartare is a simple recipe I learned as a kid that I still make to this day. By memory of course.

3 3/4 pounds very fresh tuna steak
1 1/4 cups olive oil
5 limes, zest grated
1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
2 1/2 teaspoons wasabi powder
2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons hot red pepper sauce
2 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 1/2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
1 1/4 cups minced scallions, white and green parts (12 scallions)
3 1/4 tablespoons minced fresh jalapeno pepper, seeds removed
5 ripe Hass avocados
1 1/2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds.
Grated parmesan to top it off

Awesome sample day would be awesome..I'm like you with seeing things I want to try but don't want to spend the money..I don't know about the stores around you but the one here is fairly expensive

Living in Ohio, there are no shortage of Amish stores, but I don't think I've had Amish jelly.

If I buy something Amish, it's cheese.

Smucker's is in Ohio. Orrville, to be precise. I lived there from 2000-2002.

I like the Pepper Jack cheese they have here..I also buy lots of fruits and vegetables from the store..I get deli meat from time to time

I like jam on my biscuits and corn bread

Pizza dough, bread (French, Italian, Naan, etc.), pierogies, lobster thermidor, chicken piccata, lasagna, chicken tikka masala, cheesecake, ribs, pork butt (rub, mop sauce, bbq sauce), shark 'n bake, the mother sauces, etc.

I haven't looked at a recipe in a decade plus.

The one here buys a lot of scratch-and-dent/near expiration date products that are name brands and are priced very well. The actual Amish products are a little pricey. I'd spend the extra cash if I knew I'd like their product. I've bought a couple products that sounded tasty, but let me down. I also bought a few products out of curiosity and was happily surprised.

If they had a sample day, there's about 20 things I'd test. If I liked them I'd definitely pay extra for them.

What's the difference between a garbanzo bean and a chick pea?

No one ever paid to have a garbanzo on their face.

I prefer it with pepper to break up the color and to give a bit different flavor than just cheese.

grilled cheese sandwich.

There is an Amish cheese factory I visit every year in Holmes County, which is kind of between Columbus and Cleveland.

I go hungry because they put out free samples of every flavor they make, which is around 100.

I make Ciopino, which is a tomato based seafood stew.

Recipe is to sauté onions and celery and garlic in Evo. Add white wine and clam juice. Salt, pepper, red chili flakes to taste. Cook about ten minutes then add diced maters, crab leg pieces, mussels, and cod chunks. Cook fifteen minutes then add shrimp and cook another five minutes. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve in sourdough bread bowls. If I'm feelin rich, I'll add small lobster tails as well.
