I've been doing a lot of simple dinners lately, lots of stirfrys, chicken breasts with rice and veggies.



Nothing too elaborate for now.

Those seem to be our staples too. It's good food and more or less easy on the pocketbook.

Picked up some of that kikoman teriyaki for when we have chicken breast and rice. It's been pretty good for a change from the usual seasonings we use around here.

Speaking of teriyaki sauce...

https://www.justonecookbook.com/teriyaki-sauce/

I love the simplicity of this version. Just four ingredients and it allows you to whip up an authentic teriyaki sauce in a few minutes while you're preparing the rest of the meal.

Typically, I'll debone some chicken thighs, leaving the skin on. Sprinkle some salt and pepper and get a hard sear on the skin side. Then flip them over and put them in the oven to finish cooking. Once done, slice the thighs, drizzle with this teriyaki sauce and sprinkle on some sesame seeds.

Serve it with jasmine rice and a salad or roasted veggies.

Been making this for the past month every couple of days. Mix it up before bed, then do the next 2 steps around supper. Minimal work needed, great results. Minimal yeast used too, which the way things are these days is helpful.

Rack of Lamb

Season the lamb with oil, salt, pepper, dehydrated garlic, thyme and rosemary. Preheat oven to 450, then roast for 10 minutes. Remove the lamb and reduce heat to 300 for 10-15 minutes (until mid rare 120f). Remove and let sit for 10 minutes. Cut your lamb into popsicles and enjoy!

Anyone have a good scalloped potato recipe? Or au gratin for that matter? My wife hasn't been happy with her finished dish the last couple of attempts. Too much milk/cream I think.

What is wrong with it? Is it too much milk or not thick enough?

I used to have problems with it being too runny but did two things. One was to cook the flour in the cream. The other was to use whipping cream. I also blanch the potatoes before putting them in. I don’t have an actual recipe though, just cream, flour to thicken, butter, onion, and season. And just fill the cream up to the top of the potatoes.

The best recipe is whatever they do at Open Range. Those are the best damned potatoes I have ever eaten.

I would try the cooking in some flour to the milk/cream before putting in the potatoes.

Oops. Posted this in the wrong thread...

Made a French Tourtiere (https://www.simplywhisked.com/tourti...dian-meat-pie/ ) last night. Filling was really good (I think the recipe is really for 2 pies, because I had enough filling leftover for a second one).

However, my pie crust was way too flaky to the point of disintegrating in contact with the fork.

I used:

2 cups of pastry flour
2/3 cup of shortening
4 tbsp of cold water
* omitted salt because of pastry flour had salt.

Ran it in the food processor until it formed a ball and then divided it into two pieces, wrapped in saran wrap and chucked in it the fridge to cool.

When it was done, it wouldn’t roll out very easily, and after baking it didn’t hold together at all. It looked and tasted fine, just the texture was not what I liked.

Do you ever adjust your recipes for altitude? I’ve read we should add 7% to our cooking times?

Depends what it is. Anything dried (rice, pasta, etc) for sure. Baking is supposed to be sensitive to altitude too.
