For those of you reporting this as “Spam or self-promotion”, I am a mod here on the sub. Spotlight is a Reddit app that a lot of subs use for this purpose. Just trying to make it easier for y’all.
Have you ever posted a picture of your recipe, and forgot to include the recipe as part of the post?
Well, Spotlight has been installed to help with this. We’re going to use this post for my mom’s Crock Pot Dressing as an example. As you can see, I provided a lovely picture of a Crock Pot (I have no pictures of the actual recipe, my bad), but I forgot to include the recipe or my intent was to include it as a comment. The spotlight app allows you to do just that, and then pin your comment to the top of the comment chain making it easier to find for everyone.
I’m going to demonstrate that with this post. The way you use it is pretty simple. If you’re the OP of the post, you make your comment with the recipe, then you click on the 3 horizontal dots on the web, or vertical dots on the app, and select Spotlight (Pin this comment) then click OK. Now, your comment is pinned and easier to find.
Well, it’s been about a month now since we shook things up around here. We’ve loosened up the posting restrictions, and we are still evaluating things, and tweaking things.
First off, we appreciate everyone’s patience with us while we work on things. We’re not done yet, and we know we have some work still to do. Which leads us to….
Secondly, what changes would you like to see? What do you feel we could be doing differently, or better?
Lastly, and most importantly. Remember, this sub is Recipes. So, when you post, EVERY post needs to include a recipe with it (not this one though, so don’t report me).
I like combining chicken and shrimp because the shrimp adds a little sweetness and keeps the filling tender, while the chicken makes it hearty enough for a full meal.
I usually pan-fry them first, then add a little water and cover the pan so the tops steam while the bottoms stay crisp.
In a large non-stick skillet sauté grated carrots over medium heat in oil for 4-5 minutes until slightly softened. Let cool.
In a small mixing bowl stir together yogurt, mayonnaise, garlic, dill, and salt.
Add the cooled carrots into the yogurt mixture and stir until combined.
Heat 3 tbsp oil in a pan, lightly fry the walnuts with paprika powder and stir quickly.
Spread the carrot-yogurt salad on a plate, make a small well in the center, place the walnuts inside and drizzle the paprika oil around. Sprinkle with any leftover dill.
It’s Jack-o-Lantern season and that means pumpkin seeds! This is a two seasoning recipe that you can make with what you have at home. You can swap out my toppings for whatever you like or have handy.
I like my brown sugar ones with chia pudding and dried cranberries. I eat the sea salt ones plain.
Can someone tell me what I am missing?? The recipe for the madeleines includes confectioners sugar but I have no idea where it’s supposed to used reading the instructions. It’s not used in the base recipe for genois either. Help?!
Update: they actually came out really good and now i feel confident making a genoise. I did add some lemon zest in the second batch and it was even better
Mom used to make chicken and dumplings with those old Bisquick dumplings all the time, but I couldn't find the recipe in her collection. When I asked her about it, she said she just used the recipe off the box at the time ('80s and '90s). I managed to find the Bisquick dumplings recipe, but not the actual soup. It was a thin yellow broth, not creamy at all. Does anyone maybe have this old classic saved somewhere? Thank you!
It's actually my grandma's walnut cake, I just added coffee to it and honestly it turned out amazing. Soft cake, crunchy walnuts and you can really taste the coffee.
Ingredients
Makes one 8-inch (20 cm) cake, cut into two layers.
Cake
200 g butter (¾ cup + 2 tbsp), room temperature
135 g sugar (⅔ cup)
50 g brown sugar (¼ cup)
200 g eggs (4 eggs)
66 g oil (⅓ cup)
90 g milk (⅓ cup + 1 tbsp)
5 g instant espresso powder (1½ tbsp)
200 g flour (1⅔ cups)
10 g baking powder (2 tsp)
5 g salt (1 tsp)
150 g walnuts (1½ cups), toasted and chopped, plus a few whole walnuts for decorating
Coffee & brown sugar frosting
75 g butter (⅓ cup)
45 g milk (3 tbsp)
5 g instant espresso powder (1½ tbsp)
100 g brown sugar (½ cup)
125 g powdered sugar (1 cup)
1.5 g salt (¼ tsp)
Equipment
8-inch (20 cm) springform pan, parchment paper, baking sheet, saucepan, hand mixer and wire rack.
Instructions
Walnuts
Preheat the oven to 177°C (350°F).
Chop the walnuts, spread them on a baking sheet and toast for 10 minutes. Let them cool. Keep a few whole walnuts aside for decorating.
Espresso milk
Microwave the milk for about 15 seconds.
Stir in the espresso powder until fully dissolved, about 20 seconds.
Let it cool back down to room temperature.
Batter
Cream the butter, sugar and brown sugar until pale and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each one.
Mix in the oil.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
Add the dry ingredients in three additions, alternating with the espresso milk. Start and finish with the dry ingredients.
Stop mixing as soon as the flour is incorporated.
Fold in the toasted walnuts by hand.
Bake
Grease the sides of the springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Pour in the batter and smooth the top.
Bake at 177°C (350°F) for about 55 minutes. Start checking at 50 minutes: press the center lightly. If it springs back, it's ready. If the dent stays, bake a little longer.
Let it cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and let it cool completely (about 1 hour).
Frosting
In a saucepan, bring the butter, milk, espresso powder, brown sugar and salt to a boil. Take it off the heat as soon as it starts bubbling.
Pour it into a bowl right away (in the hot pan it keeps cooking) and let it cool completely to room temperature.
Beat with a hand mixer while adding the powdered sugar a little at a time. It's ready when it goes from a dark liquid to a thick, pale frosting that holds its shape.
Assembly
Remove the top of the cake, then slice it into two layers.
Spread half the frosting over the bottom layer, all the way to the edges.
Place the top layer on, spread the rest of the frosting over the top and decorate with the whole toasted walnuts.
If you make it, I'd love to know how the coffee came out for you: too strong, not strong enough, or just right? :) Also if interested I made a recipe video 🎥👩🍳🥣:)
A few years ago, I impulsively bought an enormous, gorgeously golden, beautifully wrapped pomelo at H Mart. It looked like something you'd ceremoniously present to a duke or a pasha. Like many of my impulse purchases, it sat neglected on the counter for a few days until inspiration struck: marmalade.
I've had a thing for marmalade since childhood, when Paddington Bear convinced me that marmalade sandwiches must be one of life's great pleasures. I remember being shocked the first time I actually tasted the stuff: this was what Paddington was so excited about? Fortunately, I eventually came around. These days there's almost always a jar of Wilkin & Sons marmalade rattling around somewhere in the back of my refrigerator. It probably helps that a lifetime of double IPAs and Negronis has left me with a pretty high tolerance for bitterness.
Pomelo turns out to make excellent marmalade, but it's an awkward fruit to write a recipe for. Pomelos vary enormously in size and among cultivars: some have thick peel and pith, some have heavy membranes, some are virtually seedless and others aren't. A recipe calling for "2 pomelos" is therefore not especially useful.
My solution is to ignore the number of fruits entirely. After trimming the pomelo, weigh the prepared fruit and peel, then add equal weights of water and granulated sugar.
That's it! That's the whole formula:
1 part prepared pomelo : 1 part water : 1 part sugar, by weight.
This is a refrigerator marmalade, not a tested shelf-stable canning recipe.
Ingredients
1 pomelo
Granulated white sugar, equal in weight to the prepared pomelo
Water, equal in weight to the prepared pomelo
For example, if your prepared flesh and peel weigh 600 g, use:
600 g prepared pomelo
600 g water
600 g granulated sugar
You'll need a kitchen scale, a large pot (I use an enameled cast iron Dutch oven) and a good instant-read or candy thermometer.
Method
Wash the pomelo thoroughly. Score the rind into quarters from pole to pole, being careful not to cut deeply into the flesh. Peel away the four large sections of rind.
Moderate the bitterness. Discard two of the four pieces of rind entirely. From the remaining two, use a grapefruit spoon or sharp paring knife to remove most of the thick white pith, leaving roughly 1/4 inch attached to the peel. Pull away and discard the loose pith clinging to the fruit itself.
Clean up the flesh. Split the peeled pomelo in half along its natural segments and inspect it for seeds. Remove all the seeds. If the membranes separating the segments are especially thick, remove most of them as well, particularly the dense material around the center of the fruit.
Don't become obsessive about this. Much of the useful natural pectin is in the peel, pith and membranes, so we're deliberately retaining some of them. The goal is to moderate the bitterness, not eliminate it.
Chop the fruit. Give the flesh a medium-fine chop. It will largely break down during cooking, but you don't want enormous pieces of membrane surviving in the finished marmalade.
Chop the peel. Flatten the two pieces of trimmed rind with your hand and slice them into very fine ribbons with a large, sharp knife. Dice the ribbons. The peel will soften substantially during cooking. The size of the pieces of peel in the marmalade is very much a personal preference - commercial "coarse cut" marmalade with sizable chunks of peel is a real thing.
Weigh everything. Tare a large bowl on your kitchen scale and combine the chopped flesh and chopped peel. Record the weight.
Make the 1:1:1 mixture. Put the prepared pomelo into a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven. Add exactly the same weight of water and the same weight of granulated sugar. Use a pot with plenty of headroom. The mixture can foam considerably early in the cooking process.
Soften the fruit. Cover the pot, set it over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the marmalade. Remove the lid and continue cooking at a steady medium boil. Do not try to rush with a violent rolling boil. The temperature will initially hover around the boiling point of water and then climb increasingly slowly as water evaporates and the sugar becomes more concentrated.
Start watching closely around 214–215°F. Stir the marmalade thoroughly with a heatproof spatula or spoon before checking its temperature. Move an instant-read thermometer through several parts of the pot rather than trusting one spot; I've seen readings vary by a couple of degrees within the same batch.
For a relatively soft, brightly colored refrigerator marmalade, stop at about 216–218°F at sea level—roughly 4–6°F above the local boiling point of water. Traditional jam and marmalade recipes commonly go closer to 220°F at sea level. I've found that taking this particular marmalade that far gives me a firmer set but also a darker color and more cooked or caramelized flavors. I prefer the brighter flavor and jewel-like color I get by stopping a little earlier.
Cool and refrigerate. Remove the pot from the heat. Once the marmalade has cooled enough to handle safely, transfer it to a clean container, cover and refrigerate. Store in the refrigerator.
Do not judge the set while it's still warm or even at room temperature. My most recent batch looked decidedly loose after cooling, but after a night in the refrigerator it had set perfectly. Give it at least overnight, and preferably 24 hours, before deciding something went wrong.
A note about bitterness
Even if you love bitter foods, an untrimmed pomelo can produce marmalade that is punishingly bitter. Unfortunately, many of the same parts we're removing—the pith, segment membranes and seeds—also contain useful pectin.
That's why I use only half of the outer peel, trim most but not all of its pith, remove all seeds, and remove only the particularly heavy segment membranes.
Different pomelos will still produce somewhat different results. I consider that a feature rather than a bug.
If it doesn't set
First: refrigerate it overnight.
Seriously. Don't start emergency surgery on room temperature marmalade.
If it's still much too loose after 24 hours, you have several options. You can simply call it a loose marmalade and use it over yogurt, or you can return it to the pot and cook it somewhat further. The conventional gel point for jam without added pectin is around 8°F above the local boiling point of water—about 220°F at sea level.
You could also add commercial pectin or additional acid, but at that point you're modifying the recipe rather than following this particular method. There are plenty of resources on the Internet on how to fix a jam that failed to set.
Did I mention that pomelos vary? Sometimes I've produced a marmalade firm enough that a knife stands upright in it; other batches are softer. I generally roll with the result.
Yield
An approximately 1 lb 12 oz / 800 g whole pomelo produced one quart of finished marmalade in my most recent batch. That's a lot of marmalade!
How I eat it
My favorite use is spooned over thick Greek yogurt. The bittersweet, slightly chewy marmalade is a fantastic contrast to smooth, rich yogurt—and it's also the perfect destination for a batch that happens to come out a little loose.
There's also the obvious Paddington approach: spread it generously on white bread, although long-term storage of sandwiches underneath your hat isn't recommended. Other possibilities:
In a PB&M sandwich in place of jelly
In cakes and other baked goods (I have tried it, but the New York Times marmalade cake recipe looks delicious)
As the sweet component of a glaze or pan sauce for chicken or pork
Or, radical though it may sound, on toast

Agnolotti: Piedmont's Classic Ravioli with Veal & Pork**
( Left Over Filling Perfect For Pasta )
*Filling*
2 Med Veal Shanks and a nice thick bone in pork chop,
1 carrot, 1 stalk Celery, 1 medium sweet onion
few pieces of garlic not too much
Olive oil
1/4 butter ( 1/8 for filling) (1/8 for final sauce
1/4 cup white wine ( to deglaze)
12 oz beef broth or Chicken broth ( to deglaze and a bit more for the sauce
Salt, pepper, sage, rosemary, and a bit of thyme
*Pasta*
2 cups semolina flour
3 eggs
For Empty Nestor’s 1/2 this recipe or size to your needs
*Sauce & finish*
4 knobs of butter ( can’t have too much butter for this dish but use it to taste)
Fresh sage
Lots and Lots Of Grated parmesan
Brown the veal and pork pieces, remove and set aside
Add super finely chop Carrots, onion and celery
next add the white wine, beef broth, scrape up the brown bits and add back the meats
Add salt, pepper, sage, rosemary, garlic and thyme.
Braise about 5 hours — longer than normal — until the meat is very soft.
Remove the meat, shred it for the filling. Strain the braising liquid until smooth, not chunky, and set aside for the sauce.
Make the pasta dough from semolina flour and eggs. Refrigerate 30min to 1 hour.
Roll the dough out on a board to get thin and the width of your pasta machine if possible. Next starting at the highest setting on low speed, working all the way down to the "0" setting so it's super thin.
Dust your board and lay down the pasta. Next Place small spoonfuls of filling along the sheet — don't overstuff!!! Fold, press the air out, trim, and cut.
For the sauce, return the strained braising liquid to the pan with butter and sage (plus a splash of beef broth as it needs loosening). Cook until thick.
Boil the agnolotti until they float. Add a splash of pasta water, turn the burner off, and add parmesan — keep it moving so it doesn't clump by shaking the pan in a circular motion
Plate, top with more grated parmesan, and serve.

It’s pumpkin season and I want to make something that feels autumn-y with it but I don’t want something super sweet. Any kind of soup or beef or vegetable recipe would do. Thank you in advance
Instructions:
In a large bowl, beat the cold heavy whipping cream with a hand mixer until it starts to thicken. Add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Continue mixing on low speed until soft peaks form. Keep the whipped cream in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Arrange the Lotus Biscoff cookies in a single layer at the bottom of a glass container. Break some cookies into smaller pieces if needed to fill the gaps.
Spread a layer of whipped cream, about 2 cm (¾ inch) thick, over the Lotus Biscoff cookies. Arrange the mango slices evenly on top.
Spread a thin layer of whipped cream over the mangoes, then add another layer of Lotus Biscoff cookies.
Cover the cookies with another layer of whipped cream, then arrange the remaining mango slices on top.
Smooth the whipped cream evenly over the top. Crush some Lotus Biscoff cookies into fine crumbs and sprinkle them over the whipped cream.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the cream to firm up and the cookies to soften. Cut the mango float into 4 squares and serve chilled.
Apparently this post got removed from r/pasta, So I don't really know if this is a valid place to ask the question but if someone can help me out figure that sauce so that I can get a recipe for it or more better if I can get some underrated recipe tips for the same, I would be grateful.
I also tried searching it on google but don't know exactly what to search for and so it seems like I failed.
A few years ago (maybe 2021?) my ex-MIL made a TikTok recipe for Easter that looked like small versions of an empanada that you dip in Yum Yum Sauce. I can't, for the life of me remember what it was, but I remember it was such an easy recipe that included meat and I loved it.
I've had some pretty great tacos in my life and these were as good as the best. More tender than I've ever had, full of flavor, and a balanced light saltiness. The grill was out of gas so I seared the meat in a pan. The pan is ruined, but the char was excellent. All teaspoons of the spices were "heaping".
Step 1: Simmer spice base.
1/2 cup beef stock
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp liquid smoke
1 tsp chili paste (ex. Calabrian chili paste)
1 tsp Better Than Bouillon (ex. Chipotle flavor)
3 tsp Ancho chili powder
2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
2 tsp mild chili powder
2 tsp cumin
2 tsp Mexican oregano
2 tsp smoked paprika
2 tsp roasted garlic powder
2 tsp onion powder
2 tsp jalapeño flakes
1 tsp coriander
1 tsp cayenne
Step 2: Add cold Coke to cool the liquid then add juices.
1/3 bottle Cold Mexican Coke
3/4 cup orange juice
2 limes of juice
Step 3: Meat prep.
1.25 pound Flank or Skirt steak
Cut flank or skirt steak along the grain into fat strips.
Hello. I am just a little italian girl who wants to learn how to make tamales. I don’t even know the first step 😭😭 If anyone can just tell me the basics I would be oh so happy. I know the filling sometimes is like a family recipe and that’s cool I don’t need that I just don’t know how the husk is made or anything. Thank you.
I hope this is not the wrong sub, if so please tell me, I'll delete it.
What I tried:
One 200g Block Tofu
One Onion
About 300g pak choi
A table spoon of peanut butter
A bit of soy sauce
Cumin Turmerik Paprika herbal salt.
Oil
I put onion in the pan I cooked the tofu (for textur), dried it, seasoned it, and added it. Then I added the pak choi. Then a bit of soy sauce and a spoon of peanut butter and seasoning.
It was surprisingly good but I feel like there's room for improvement it wasn't the full potential. Bit I'm not sure what's missing or what's wrong
My friends mom used to make this appetizer that she called sweet and sour kielbasa. Asked for the recipe, she said it was just ketchup, grape jelly, soy sauce and sliced browned kielbasa. Just wondering if anyone has a recipe with how much of each ingredient?
Just made these this afternoon. First you peel two large sweet potatoes, then cut them into slices, on a baking pan lined with non stick foil paper, drizzle some extra virgin olive oil, salt, powered sage and pepper. Place your slices on the baking sheet, preheat the oven to 425 and bake on each side around 20 minutes give or take and after doing that, use a spatula to get them off the baking sheet which you take out with an oven mitt , and put into a large platter. Enjoy.
In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. In a second bowl, whisk the egg. In a third bowl or plate, add the breadcrumbs.
Wet your hands and form a patty with the mince. Dredge in the flour mix and tap off the excess, dip into the egg, then coat thoroughly in breadcrumbs. Let it rest on a bed of extra breadcrumbs so the coating sets.
Slice the onion thinly and mix it with 1 tbsp of mayonnaise.
Mix the remaining mayonnaise with the curry powder and the pickle juice.
Toast the inner sides of the burger bun in a dry pan or toaster.
Heat oil in a pan over medium to medium-high heat. Fry the chicken patty until the bottom is golden-brown. Flip, place the cheese slice on top, and cover the pan with a lid to melt the cheese while the bottom side cooks through. Once golden-brown and cooked through, drain briefly on paper towels.
Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the herbs and spices are in a traditional Mac and Cheese?
I've seen multiple mentioned in different recipes ranging from salt and white pepper + nutmeg for the bèchamel sauce, to mustard powder, garlic powder, turmeric etc.
What I basically do now (for a 1 serving dish) is:
